Beauty & Spas in Mineral Wells

A wildly successful alternative to traditional day spas—its more than 300 locations blanket 36 states and half a dozen countries—Planet Beach Contempo Spa is a futuristic relaxation station where state-of-the-art machines administer all the spa and tanning services. These friendly automatons sometimes replace familiar treatments, as in the Luminous facial, a light-based service that delivers blemish-busting results similar to those of a conventional facial. But other equipment maps out new spa territory entirely: the hydro-derma fusion chamber moisturizes the whole body with nutrient-rich steam in order to offset the effects of a dry climate or a rear-end collision with a salt truck. Other machines whiten teeth, spray tan skin, and massage muscles.

Planet Beach operates on a gym-style membership system, meaning that members purchase packages or pay flat monthly rates. As members spend more time at the spa, they get to know the helpful assistants who are always on hand to demonstrate how to use the equipment without activating its ability to cry.

Nothing is happening inside At Peace Flotation & Massage Spa's float tanks—at least not as far as the eye or ear can tell. But change is still taking place. As bodies float inside a lightproof, soundproof chamber atop skin-temperature water made buoyant by 800 pounds of epsom salts, the mind sinks into deep relaxation. Spa staff finds that a one-hour session can impart the same restful feeling as four hours of sleep in a bath of warm milk and soothe the symptoms of chronic back pain, fatigue, high blood pressure, asthma, and jet lag.

Alongside At Peace's two private float suites—complete with showers and dressing areas—treatment rooms house massage therapists well-versed in a range of therapeutic styles. Swedish massage utilizes long and glissading strokes to improve circulation, and deep-tissue massage relies on penetrative kneads to release pent-up pressure. Therapists also specialize in prenatal, sports, orthopedic, aromatherapy, and chair massage.

Stylemakers' experienced hair stylists are follicle fanatics with a special interest in color. Like skilled ice sculptors, they will spot the potential buried within your split-end threads and snip, scissor, and style your locks to perfection before they melt. Your single-process color or partial highlights will give you a youthful-looking head, which often translates into a youthful strut and a plethora of compliments from friends, strangers, and the insides of hats.
