Day Spas in New Braunfels

The stylists and nail artists at Only Nails and Hair boast decades of experience. In their capable hands, clients can relax during a pedicure or prep hands for a visit to the Louvre by adding nail art to digits. Despite the spa’s name, its menu also includes waxing treatments, lash extensions, and deep-tissue massage.

After a successful career as an Air Force translator and marathon runner, Edith Finlayson decided to follow her passion for cosmetic treatments and founded Edan's Med Spa. Partnering with Medical Aesthetics specialist Marta Paul and Medical Director Hugo Rojas, Edith designed the spa's lineup of services with a focus on medically based services, ranging from mesotherapy—a technique that promotes cellulite reduction and hair regrowth—to bioidentical hormone replacement and minimally invasive face-lifts. Within the spa's private, citrus-green suites, Edan's skilled aestheticians also lavish exteriors with classic treatments, including relaxing body wraps and peels, as well as hydrating and anti-aging facials. Licensed massage therapists knead out coiled musculature to abolish aches and pains, and waxologists purge bodies of unwanted hair to cut down resistance in underwater javelin-throwing competitions.

Thirty years of beauty-industry know-how gift Sable, the aesthetician at Preferably Pampered, with the technique and knowledge to twirl hairs into modern styles, polish nails to a glimmering shine, and clear bodies of unwanted fuzz. An experienced eyelash technician, she also applies eyelash extensions designed to replace the use of mascara and to lengthen and thicken the appearance of eyelashes for a natural and dramatic result. During mani-pedi services, Sable banishes stress with warm towels and a massage, and softens calluses made rough by years of Tarzan impersonations with a heel filing. All of the relaxing services are dispensed in a clean environment decorated to exude comfort.

Nestled inside TréusDell Salon & Spa, Estetica Day Spa rejuvenates exteriors with facials, waxing, massages, and permanent-makeup services. The spa’s massage therapists delight the senses with therapeutic essential oils and relax aching muscles with Swedish massage, the long, fluid strokes of which were developed to calm hysteria during lingonberry shortages. Aestheticians oust fuzz from underarms and upper lips, and makeup specialists tint eyebrows, line eyelids, and shift the shades of lips with permanent pigmentation. For those who didn’t sleep in baths of rose milk until they were 18, the salon also treats weary and blemished skin to European facials, sugar scrubs, and glycolic peels.

Since Benjamin Hair & Co. has 10 hair stylists, three nail techs, and three aestheticians on staff, you'd expect the salon to cover a lot of different services, and you wouldn't be disappointed. There are the usual suspects—keratin treatments, Brazilian waxing, specialty facials—and then there are also hard-to-find treatments: staffers slather on acne-busting Meditouch clinical skincare products, apply Hair Dreams or Brijon Hair extensions, and shave eyebrows into miniature mohawks. They also collect hair donations for Locks of Love, a charitable organization that makes wigs for children who have medical conditions that cause hair loss.

The medical team at La Vraie Beauté Aesthetic Clinic, under the leadership of plastic and reconstructive surgeon Dr. James M. Landeen and aesthetic nurse injector Melanie Fulton-Ruiz, helps patients to reveal tighter, smoother, more sculpted versions of themselves with a menu of cosmetic services. The medical-aesthetics clinic's laser treatments resurface skin, stimulate collagen, and play Blu-ray discs, and its facials and injectables scare away wrinkles.
