Maple Shade, NJ Spa and Massage

Salon Norman-Dee's beauty services put the aesthetic back in anesthetic by letting you close your eyes and bliss out in a stress-free sanctuary while surgical stylists operate on you from head to toe, skipping only the gall bladder, because it's already sexier than it has any right to be. The salon's seasoned scissors-snippers can manage and mold any mop with a cut and style ($40+), coax manes into an anti-grav updo ($65+), or trim bangs ($10+) back into shape after a long winter of stress-eating. Prices increase for services booked with a senior stylist. Otherwise, skip taming in favor of total termination with waxing services such as an eyebrow shaping ($14) or a Brazilian bikini wax ($50) to prevent samba-related thigh burns. Non-hair-related beauty rescues include nail treatments such as the rejuvenating spa manicure ($24+) or pedicure ($45+).

Salon 463's team of seasoned aestheticians, nail technicians, and stylists work to gussy up patrons from the top of their heads to the tips of their toes via a host of lavish services. A symphony of snipping scissors and hair dryers accompanies each hair specialist during salon services ranging from color-boosting glazes to bridal updos. Aestheticians can revive faces exhausted from fielding the cheek pinches of passing grandmothers using a variety of rejuvenating skincare treatments. Nail services include anti-aging manicures, men's pedicures, and acrylic-nail repair to give hands and feet get a much-needed break.

In 1964, the Carusos decided to start a spa. They wanted to open it in a century-old Victorian house, but the fixer-upper definitely needed a few renovations first. For a year, the Carusos used their evenings and weekends to fashion a spa atmosphere reminiscent of ancient Roman baths. Amid chandeliers, corinthian columns, and engravings of ancient Olympic potato-sack races, stylists craft haircuts and therapists soothe muscles in private treatment rooms. Though stylists use nationally renowned products from Dermalogica and Redken during treatments, they also use styling tools patented by the Carusos themselves.

Zenergy Massage Studio's owner and massage therapist works in tandem with an experienced team to perform skilled massage and energy therapies. Swedish and deep-tissue massages are administered at a new location with private treatment rooms and tranquil music.

Donna Kimmel fostered her passion for healing at both Penn State's Professional School of Massage and the Frankford School of Nursing. Now, in the comfort of a cozy, private treatment room, she draws upon her training as well as 12 years of massage-therapy experience to slacken achy muscles with Swedish strokes or the firm pressure of deep-tissue bodywork. A heated massage table aids Donna's attempts to make tension melt from sore shoulders and backs, and glowing candles help soothe stressed minds and draw out any moths that may be hiding in connective tissues.

While studying physical therapy at Florida A&M University, James C. Thomas Conway noticed how the emotional resonance of human touch often helped to fuel physical healing. Inspired, he delved into massage-therapy research and training, developing expertise in neuromuscular methods for addressing chronic health conditions. His studio, Restore Bodywork & Reflexology, sprang from his desire to help others ease pain without relying on invasive methods or habit-forming medications. Today, clients from nine states, four countries, and at least two dimensions flock to his studio, where he and his staff use bodywork modalities such as deep-tissue massage, warm-stone therapy, and accelerated sports healing to target the stress and discomfort that stems from conditions including diabetes, fibromyalgia, and insomnia.

Therapists tailor each stroke to individual preferences to create massages that cater to long-term health goals or simply focus on the particular stresses of the day. In addition to quelling immediate aches, they aim to prevent future pain by locating and treating problems at their source, and also taut massage as a great way to boost energy and enhance mobility, helping clients run faster, jump higher, and break dance with greater spontaneity.
