Portsmouth, OH Spa and Massage

Whereas hoses of molten sunlight are overly aggressive and piping hot to the touch, a gentle airbrush promotes soothing coloration that's UV free and perfectly even. Today's deal lets you choose between the Level I ($29 value) and Level II ($31 value) airbrush tans for a medium glow or a deeper bronze. Like applying cocoa butter to cocoa beans, an application of liquid sunbeams is a healthy way to make your skin stand out from your white V-neck undershirts and milk-covered shawls. SunWize tans look natural and will last for roughly a week while you venture about the city with a fresh frock of rich shades.

A knotted back is like the paparazzi: it’s always lurking around the corner, waiting to make people look bad when they’re at the supermarket or armadillo bowling. Loveland Chiropractic's professional staff of backists will figure out how to untangle your jigsawed spine with an initial exam ($60) that thoroughly assesses affected areas and, if necessary, they will take a series of three cervical x-rays ($60). Your chiropractor will then administer two treatments of physical therapy ($56), lasting 10 to 15 minutes each, before aligning the back's mizzenmast with a tension-relieving adjustment ($40). No drugs, surgery, or tubs of ice cream paired with a Lifetime original movie are required. Patients will leave feeling loose and limber, like a squirrel after a glass of wine.

Wildflowers Salon & Spa is a beauty emporium that will smooth and soothe whatever section of your surface area that aches for tending, from your freshly sore Olive Oyl tattoo to the love-bite scars from your pet gull. Because this deal can be applied to any of Wildflowers myriad services, you may have trouble deciding which parts of you should get special treatment. A customized organic medi facial ($65) will leave your skin looking its healthiest and youngest with a radiant glow. Expert aestheticians can jumpstart an Olympic swimming career with waxing services, such as a single treatment to the underarm ($25), brow/lip/chin combo ($30), and full leg ($55). Melt your muscles into buttery bliss with a 30-minute ($40) or 60-minute ($65) revitalizing massage. Wildflowers' professional stylists provide men's ($20) and women's ($32) haircuts. Feel free to combine services or choose a service over the value of this Groupon and pay the difference.

When she entered the beauty industry 30 years ago, Shari Renfro dreamed of channeling her creative energy into her own salon, where she could help clients to create new looks and rebuild their damaged strands. After a decade of hard work and dedication, she actualized her aspirations and opened Giggles on Main, where today she leads a staff of Aveda– and Framesi–trained stylists. The team softens and enriches strands by introducing rich botanicals and vibrant coloring formulas rather than marshmallow fluff. When they aren't arranging manes, staff members happily perform facials, Aveda mani-pedis, and Opi polishes.

Situated inside The Face Place, licensed massage therapists Emilie Peters and Jenna Crooker combine their muscle-mending skills to alleviate a range of soft-tissue ailments. Between the two of them, their six hands contain the know-how to move along spinal fluid to reduce headaches and get jaw joints to quit clicking with TMJ massage. Where hands alone come up short, Emilie and Jenna employ items such as cold stones and bamboo stalks to relieve migraines or reach deep into tissue to unearth embedded soreness.

Relaxation doesn’t come naturally to everyone. One of Tonja Miller's regular clients, for example, remembers a time when he could hardly lay his face down on the mattress after a stressful day. Tonja, who co-owns Healing Hands Massage Therapy Group LLC with Joy Kinman, helped him conquer that problem. Born with deformities, she has been a massage-therapy patient since childhood and has witnessed its healing powers firsthand. She’s not the only one—Joy credits her first massage with freeing her of the back pain she had suffered since she was a girl.

As soon as clients enter the studio, Joy and Tonja pay close attention to their gait and stance. Both, it turns out, can indicate strain caused by overexertion or a long commute by rowboat. The lights in the studio’s private rooms soon go dim as the therapists enhance their strokes with warm oils or lotions. For an experience you won’t find in many other spas, try Tonja’s specialty bamboo massage, during which she rolls a heated stalk across sore muscles. More traditional spa treatments such as paraffin dips and refreshing facials round out the service menu, which the duo complements with offerings of tea, coffee, or water.
