Registered nurse Suzette and her staff have years of experience in the skincare industry, but clients at Austin Med Spa tout the staff's diligent and friendly bedside manner as the spa’s best feature. Staff members reserve ample time to listen to a client’s concerns and clearly explain all the treatment options and projected results before beginning any procedure. They offer a range of high-quality med-spa services including light- to medium-depth chemical peels, Botox, and IPL photorejuvenation treatments that help diminish the appearance of age spots, redness, and the fine print that doctors stamp onto all newborns. Surrounded by gently swaying trees and lush bushes, the awninged front entrance ushers guests into a tropical oasis adorned with bamboo window shades and soft suede couches

The Crossings, Austin’s premier green resort, provides visitors with an environmentally friendly stress-shedding getaway more convenient than orbiting the planet in a soundproof space pod. As they soak in views of striking Lake Travis in the Balcones Canyonlands Preserve, patrons will be pampered with a bevy of amenities, including an outdoor infinity-edge pool, a Watsu massage pool, and a pool filled with adorable puppies. Visitors can also defrazzle their synapses with movement studios, sundecks, hiking trails, and healthy-cuisine consumption on outdoor patios.

When Martha Millan says, "Beauty shouldn't hurt," she's not peddling a slogan—her first job in the beauty industry literally caused her pain. Working at an upscale salon, her exposure to common hair and makeup products triggered hives and headaches. While searching for more natural goods for personal use, her research revealed unsettling truths about many industry product lines that often use irritating perfumes to mask the underlying odors of harsh chemicals. Feeling that everyone should have the opportunity to look beautiful without fear of harming health, she bought a salon and transformed it into Salon O Day Spa.

Amid Salon O Day's industrial decor, Millan and her team of stylists, aestheticians, and a massage therapist use products so natural that some are even edible, though Millan imagines the taste would leave something to be desired: barbecue sauce. Among the array of certified-organic, not-tested-on-animals, gluten- and chemical-free products, Millan's favorites include Osmosis Pur Medical Skincare, developed by an American physician who advocates against overexfoliation. For hair, stylists use products from lines including Surface Hair and Organic Color Systems, and during nail services, technicians use natural products from SpaRitual in tandem with scrubs made in-house from ingredients bought at a local co-op.

Owner Samia named 3 Graces Spa after the Greek goddesses of beauty, charm, and joy. A reproduction of Raphael's The Three Graces adorns the Mediterranean-themed haven, its figures hinting at the smooth skin and divine powers waiting behind the door of each treatment room. Between earth-toned walls, aestheticians conjure radiant skin through clinical skincare services. Permanent makeup indelibly fortifies features, lasers remove body hair and spider veins, and pharmaceutical-grade facials reverse signs of aging.

Licensed massage therapist Melyssa Liberty facilitates natural healing and eases tension with the perceptive touch of her hands. Within the lodge-style spa, clients relax among stone-laid walls and natural wooden accents while awaiting modalities such as deep-tissue, or a Swedish massage. Once inside the private treatment area, Melyssa invokes gentle Swedish techniques to improve circulation; firm, deep-tissue techniques to alleviate chronic tension; or a combination of both in a sports massage to aid in injury recovery or poor free-throw percentage. Release techniques target pain sources rather than symptoms by stretching and compressing soft tissue. During prenatal-massage treatments, Melyssa accommodates the specific needs of mothers-to-be, aiming to reduce the physical strain of childbirth while removing knots from muscles like a master sailor with surprisingly kempt hands.
