Beauty & Spas in Raleigh
Raleigh Beauty And Spa Guide
Spending time at a Raleigh day spa provides amenities to suit most tastes. A day of pampering is not only relaxing, it can be an investment in overall health and well-being.
Numerous salons in Raleigh provide massage and body treatments as well as skincare services, including Posh Salon 104 on Atlantic Avenue and Finesse Salon and Spa on Old Wake Forest Road. Many of Raleigh’s spas offer medical spa treatments, including microdermabrasion, fat-grafting or transfer, and liposuction services. Blue Water Spa on Raven Ridge Road is one of these. This Raleigh day spa specializes in laser treatments, including vein removal and skin tightening. Anti-aging facials and microdermabrasion promise youthful results for its clientele.
Synergy Spa on Glenwood also takes a medical approach, offering botox, fillers, clinical skincare, and body therapy. The setting is serene, with muted earth tones and rich, textured décor greeting Synergy Spa’s clientele. Although the treatment goes beyond the cosmetic, the overall mood is subdued and calming. Skin Sense on Falls of Neuse Road tempts clients with a skin “gym” and offers specialized services for teens, including deep-pore cleaning facials and back massage treatments. Modern Enhancement Salon and Day Spa offers Swedish, hot stone, and deep tissue massages. This Raleigh massage salon also boasts invigorating scalp massages and popular chair massages. Staff bios on their website, providing credentials and background, lend a businesslike sense to an esthetic experience.
Massage is the primary focus at Absolute Body Balance located on Six Forks Road; this facility serves those seeking therapeutic, sports, medical, prenatal, and relaxation treatments. Their philosophy is that massage is therapeutic for headaches and chronic pain, enhancing overall well-being. Many Raleigh hair salons are expanding into day spas to offer everything from relaxing massage through medical spa treatments. A day at one of the Raleigh’s many unique day spas can be an investment in more than superficial pampering.

Posh The Salon's band of nail artisans revamps fingers and toes with meticulous mani-pedi services enhanced by the luster of gel-based Shellac nail polish. Clients settle into a comfy chair in a private room and proffer their tattered talons to the salon's veteran manicurists who snip, trip, and buff their way through basic 75-minute mani-pedis and 45-minute pedicures. A coat of Shellac gel-based polish extends the mani-pedi pampering, dressing nails in durable, bright colors that can last for up to 14 days without chipping, cracking, or disappearing in a puff of smoke. Idle hands and feet can pass the time by wrapping themselves around cups of teas, coffee, beer, and wine; slipping on a cozy spa robe; or navigating the salon’s complimentary WiFi.
Inspired by the upscale tanning salons of South Beach and Los Angeles, Vivid Tan focuses on shading skin to a warm, coppery glow within 15 minutes. The bronzing experts invite customers to stretch out in beds or enter Mystic HD standup booths, whose sweeping airbrush darkens skin evenly, unlike sunbathing in a bikini made from swiss cheese. The salon’s trained professionals also tint figures during Norvell airbrush tans, nourish skin with products from Designer Skin, Swedish Beauty, and Australian Gold, and even brighten smiles with WhiteScience teeth-whitening treatments.
