Pamper yourself with today’s deal: $30 for a 60-minute facial, a 60-minute natural deluxe pedicure, or a natural mani-pedi combo at Back to Basics Massage, the healing day spa located in Quincy. Back to Basics Massage specializes in using massage to improve overall health, so a soothing massage is incorporated in all of its treatments.
Choose from the following services:
- Natural mani-pedi combo ($100 value): This 90-minute treatment uses an aroma sea-salt soak, nourishing cuticle treatment, nail shaping, anti-fungal treatment, exfoliation and moisturizers, and a polish or buff shine. Your feet will be warmed thermal heated booties, and your arms and legs relaxed by a massage incorporating reflexology.
- Natural Pedicure Deluxe ($95 value): Includes everything in the mani-pedi combo except adds a sugar scrub treatment, a hot towel application, and an extra-long foot and leg massage incorporating reflexology. Also, just for the feet.
- Any one-hour facial (up to $75 value): With 15 choices, pick the facial that will bring out the beauty of your skin type. Back to Basic’s most popular choice, the Vitamin C facial, will rejuvenate dry and sun-damaged skin, leaving it smoother and firmer. Or try something exotic like a Chocolate Layer Cake, Cup of Champagne, Cool Caviar, or Lovely Lavender facial. All facials include a relaxing head, neck, face, and shoulder massage and a warm towel application. Not valid for hot-stone or ultimate facial.
With so many pamper options, one treatment isn’t enough. Luckily, you can redeem up to two Groupons (one per service choice). Pamper your pinkies with tea-tree oil, polish, and a relaxing massage one week, then douse your cheeks in invigorating pumpkin the next. Or buy four and give two to a friend so you can sample a smorgasbord of refreshing facials with a partner. Back to Basics is open seven days a week.
