Tampa Spa and Massage
Tampa Spa And Massage Guide
Tampa, Florida, is a city where residents like to relax in style. Tampa spas are scattered throughout the region and offer a variety of services that cater to the customer's every need. Day spas in the city exist to serve, and the residents take full advantage of the services offered, from quick facials to soothing massages.
Finding a good day spa in Tampa is a fairly easy process, with most spas offering many of the same services, but a few of the spas in the area stand out from the rest in terms of quality.
Spa Sundara is one of those standouts, as it has a soothing atmosphere that greets customers at the door. Sundara offers a number of spa packages, as well as a variety of facials and massages. The facials range from quick, 30-minute cleansing treatments to 90-minute anti-aging sessions that feature skin exfoliation and detoxification. Massages at Sundara are just as full-featured, whether it's the 30-minute Swedish massage or the 90-minute Zen fusion that combines a Swedish massage with a healing therapy massage.
For a day spa with a less Zen approach, there's Spa Jardin. Spa Jardin offers a full-body treatment known as A Day to Remember, which includes a hot stone massage, a hydro-quench facial and a relaxing soak before finishing the customer off with a manicure and pedicure. It's the spa's ultimate package and a prime example of the quality of care available at the better spas in Tampa.
When Tampa residents are in need of a more therapeutic approach, the spas in town aren't always the best fit. For a sports massage meant to aid flexibility or a prenatal massage for expectant mothers, Massage Envy is one of the best places in town. Along with therapeutic massages, Massage Envy offers a variety of relaxation-targeted massages, which are similar to the services provided in other Tampa spas, such as Swedish massages or reflexology treatments.

The Encinitas Spa's specialty is skincare, a logical choice given the exposure bodies get in the local surfing community. To ready clients for Speedo season, certified body sugarers smooth on a low-temperature sugar formula that is less likely to yank tender tissues than conventional wax, but more capable of picking up very fine hairs without cheesy lines. Medical-grade products from PCA Skin work alone to peel away damaged cells, or in tandem with a Clarisonic Pro brush to thoroughly cleanse pores. Eight types of massage compliment these treatments, and are performed by certified holistic-health practitioners, who have honed their healing touch during at least 1,000 hours of training, and massage therapists with at least 500 hours of training. In addition to encouraging citizens to hit the beach, the team strengthens ties to the community through charitable work, recently participating in a fundraiser for the Susan G. Komen foundation.
The team of stylists at Practically Frivolous subdue wayward strands with hair salves from Schwarzkopf Professional, Ouidad, and the Practically Frivolous line of products developed in cooperation with a California-based company specializing in health-conscious beauty. The salon's crew shapes locks of all textures, specializing in the Ouidad method of outsmarting wily curls and turning them into sculptured ringlets. Keratin-rich hair treatments, pomegranate enzymes to pamper the skin, and hot stones to aid in massage services arm the salon's aesthetes to enhance beauty across the entire body, avoiding the difficult task of keeping one's good side turned toward a carousel operator.
