At Ragamuffins Spa, technicians draw on years of training and experience to extract tension, impurities, and errant hairs from clients. Bristle busters apprehend hip fuzz during a bikini wax, leaving skin as smooth as a freshly sandpapered glass eye. Aestheticians harvest new complexions from a cornucopia of facials, flushing out pores with a deep-cleansing treatment, battling Father Time with anti-aging therapy or chiseling sparkly skin with a pink-diamond microdermabrasion, whose microcrystals export dead cells to soften the appearance of scarring, sun damage, and fine lines. Each facial treatment is custom-built based on a Fitzpatrick skin-typing analysis, the results of which determine the appropriate exfoliant, mask, and moisturizer for a given individual’s face.

A consultation with a massage therapist or her equally capable shadow identifies each client’s most distressed areas, which are then targeted during a one-hour massage that can be performed in such modalities as Swedish, deep-tissue, or hot-stone. Try a sports massage to whisk away the strain induced by blocking a defensive lineman or boxing out a fellow geography-bee contestant, or indulge in a prenatal massage that focuses on the body parts most strained by maternity.
