Warm-weather vacation destinations dominated massage: Palm Beach, Honolulu, and Daytona Beach all finished in the top 7. But the big winner was Santa Barbara, which spent fully 48% more than #2 Palm Beach. Based on these numbers, it’s entirely plausible to reach the radical conclusion that people like to relax on vacation.

Seattle finished #1 in the US (#3 overall) in waxing. Yet Seattleites still had enough hair left over to wind up #6 in sugaring. The city also landed in the top 10 in the categories of sauna, infrared sauna, and float tank, so clearly Seattle is comfortable in a towel. Must be that famous Pacific Northwest sunshine we’re always hearing about.

Call it the County of Youth. Fairfield County, the southwestern Connecticut area that’s home to Bridgeport, Stamford, and Norwalk, walked away with top honors in both wrinkle injection and face-lift. It also landed in the top 5 for facial and photofacial. Forget New Orleans—Benjamin Button should have been set in downtown Danbury.

DC blew everyone away in spa – day pass. The next closest city, Nashville, spent less than 30% what Washingtonians did on leisurely days at the spa. Is it possible our lawmakers are slacking, calling in sick to the Senate to go lounge beneath a Vichy shower? Ball’s in your court, Washington Post.
