Body Options' seasoned follicle wranglers restore order to unruly nether-feathers with Brazilian waxes that pave the way for smooth epidermal real estate. During the waxing session, which lasts 40 to 90 minutes depending on each individual’s situation, an aesthetician whisks away all present fuzz from below-the-belt regions of both men and women. Waxing provides a longer-lasting hairlessness than shaving, and when the hair does come back after a few weeks, it's meek, soft, and easily scared back into the follicle with banging pans or the threat of another round of wax. While waiting for their treatments, spa-goers can take a load off in Body Options' earthy setting marked by cushy brown couches, pendulous plants, and glowing sconces.

Helmed by acclaimed beauty duo Cary and Talisa O'Brien, Cary O'Brien's welcomes world-weary paws to relax amid warm-colored walls, cushioned pedicure chairs, and a friendly and professional staff. Flanked by a flowing waterfall and stone detailing, the private pedicure lounge treats feet to a skin-softening soak in a state-of-the-art clean jet-system chair––which uses pipe-less whirlpool technology to eliminate the possibility of cross-contamination or surprise visits from pet goldfish. Cuticles are neatly curtailed as a sea-salt scrub leaves the surrounding skin glowy and better tasting, and toe polish dresses stylish shoe-fillers with a splash of color. During the 45-minute spa manicure, hands are treated to a similar soaking, softening, and shaping, and the addition of a paraffin dip helps to evict former skin cells that have overstayed their welcome. A hand-and-arm massage soothes away damage done in the clapping aftermath of an awards banquet, and clients cap off the experience with a coating of OPI polish, leaving nails with a finish as shiny as a bedazzled dolphin.

Like the full range of muscles it challenges, Wellbridge Athletic Club & Spa affords a full range of experiences to a broad spectrum of visitors, from corporate coworkers to athletic kids. A 25-yard indoor lap pool hosts swimmers, who can dry off with towels in a full-amenity locker room. Group fitness classes challenge visitors to sweat through cycling, Pilates, and aqua Zumba. The latter gets swimming bodies boogying to the tune of energetic international and Latin rhythms. There are also more than 47 pieces of cardio equipment that allow visitors to work out independently, and some of the cardio machines have flat-screen TVs and satellite radio, which actually orbits you as you listen to it.

In order to offer their visitors ample guidance, Wellbridge Athletic Club & Spa staffs several personal trainers, who assist clients striving for a variety of goals, including weight loss and injury recovery. The facility’s free childcare allows parents to work out without the hassle of finding a sitter, and its spa allows those same parents to shed every last scintilla of stress during a relaxing massage.

Upon entering Salon Escape, visitors instantly feel as if their stress has melted away onto the floor.

Five stylists cut and color locks or weave bridal locks into the traditional wedding cake–shaped hairdo.
