Beauty & Spas in Martinsville

After discussing your back's particular bothers with a friendly therapist, you'll lie peacefully on a bed of clean sheets heated by a warming blanket. One of Selah's therapists signs a war treaty with tight muscles, deploys troops of Swedish strokes, and drops bombs of pressure to leave bodily tissues content. Believing it important to pause life for a moment of healing meditation, Selah focuses on helping customers relax, reduce stress, and improve posture and circulation with its Swedish massages.

When you stroll into Hair Rocks' industrial-chic salon, you'll be offered a non-alcoholic drink to sip while awaiting your cranium dome's transformation. A highly trained hair stylist will help you figure out the best cut for your face and personal style. If you already know what you're looking for, Hair Rocks' stylists, who boast at least seven years of experience, can take your vision and transform it beyond expectations. After strand shrubbery is clipped and trimmed, a scalp massage will knead stress away and rout out any hidden love letters to Ringo Starr. Ladies' locks will then change color while their brows change shape, completing their noggins' total transformation. Both women and men will receive 20% off their next pre-booked Hair Rocks haircut, so they won't resort to taking hair-care tips from Alf and Doc Brown.

For 20 years, Thurston House's aestheticians, massage therapists, hair stylists, and nail technicians have provided relaxing and beautifying services in a serene, well-appointed house and spa. The spa wields an FDA-approved intense-pulse light (IPL) that gently zaps the follicles of underarms and carpeted upper chests without disrupting the surrounding skin or nearby magic shows. The treatment can also ease the appearance of tattoos, scars, and stretch marks. An on-staff physician helps patients achieve cosmetic goals with facial fillers, including Botox, and a variety of facials and peels further assist faces in their quest to recapture youth. Nail technicians use paraffin, shellac, and hot stones to keep clients hands smooth and nails trim during manicures and pedicures. The staff takes extra care to ensure client comfort amid the facility’s attractive treatment rooms, which exude homey tranquility with wood floors, earth tones, and elegant chandeliers.

In the olden days, nomads and royalty alike made pilgrimages to the lowest point on earth: the Dead Sea. The vitamin-rich waters, which are roughly six times saltier than the ocean, had a therapeutic effect on bathers, dissolving stress, boosting metabolism, and brightening skin tones. Nowadays, the same benefits can be had without a trip to Jerusalem, thanks to L’Ultime Day Spa’s mud wraps, which tighten skin and detoxify systems with the sea’s salt and mud. A team of massage therapists can also relax muscles with kneads customized to each client, in styles that range from Swedish and deep tissue to reflexology, which focuses exclusively on the hands and feet. They can even ply the physique with reiki, energy work that stimulates the body’s self-healing powers without also activating its self-cloning powers.

Under the medical direction of Riki Collins, PA-C, Premier Med Spa and Laser Center's skincare experts launch visitors toward their aesthetic goals with a menu of services that make recipients look and feel rejuvenated. Chemical peels, laser hair and vein removal, and soothing facials highlight the center's selection of beauty-boosting treatments, while customized massages and serenades by Barry White's stunt double help clients reach cloud nine. Premier's modern, private, and serene setting sets guests at ease, and trusted products by Neova, and Botox Cosmetic render human exteriors as shiny as the day they left the assembly line.

Every time the doors of Scissorhands Hair Studio swing open, a staff member walks over to welcome the entering guest with a warm neck wrap and a seasonal beverage. This uncommon hospitality is among the many reasons the salon earned Yes! Weekly's Reader's Choice award for Best Hair Salon in 2010 and 2011. Other compelling reasons include: private treatment areas that guests can visit for a massage, facial, or body treatment; and the stylists themselves, who carefully evaluate face shapes and fumigate beehives before adding highlights, natural hair extensions, or spiral perms.

In the salon’s waiting area, fuchsia walls surround zebra-print loveseats accented by vases brimming with white and black feathers. Before or after their treatments, guests may peruse the salon's boutique, which features jewelry, hair accessories, and home decor handcrafted by local artists.
