Beauty & Spas in Stoughton

Reflecting a spirit of diversity, Four 40 Beauty Salon congregates a team of coif clippers, aestheticians, and massage therapists under one roof to administer beautifying and relaxing services to a multicultural, all-ages clientele. Locks succumb to a full menu of cuts, colors, and conditioning treatments, and men can get more gussied up with beard and mustache trims. But the studio walls listen to more than just the snipping of scissors and the screams of severed hair falling to the ground. Skilled aestheticians pamper faces with a menu of facials and skilled muscle menders work out kinks and tension with an array of massages, such as Swedish and deep tissue.

The deep-tissue kneads, gentle Swedish strokes, and hot-stone massages that licensed massage therapist Laurie uses to dissolve pain and tension are just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to her studio's soothing elements. Even before she begins a session, clients suffering from chronic pain, anxiety, depression, injury, or general stress begin to relax as they melt into a heated massage table amid soft music and subdued lighting. To further the effects of each massage, Laurie makes use of essential oils, whose herb-, flower-, and fruit-derived aromas help send clients into a state of deep relaxation.

Trispa Massage's licensed massage therapists employ a range of kneading techniques to ease muscle tension and stress. The therapists offer Swedish massage to induce relaxation, sports massage to help prevent injuries or reduce recovery time, and deep-tissue, trigger-point, and hot-stone modalities to relieve deep-seated aches and pains. The therapists also offer on-location massage treatments for those who cannot visit the office or simply feel more comfortable receiving a massage at home or on the roof of a moving train.

Planet Beach is a futuristic relaxation station where state-of-the-art machines administer all the services. These friendly automatons facilitate everything from hydro massages and oxygen therapy to spray tanning and luminous facials. Each machine is designed for a specific service, which makes it the ultimate expert and keeps it from developing the ability to cry. Standard UV-tanning booths are available ($15 value per session) along with Mystic spray tanning ($30 per session) for a light butterscotch topping. Advanced spa services, such as Hydro-Derma Fusion, sauna time, and LED facials provide opportunities for sweating, moisturizing, and photoskinthesis.

Be At Ease Bodyworks might be described as an epicenter of pampering and wellness. Massage therapist Mark fights musculoskeletal stress and tension by practicing three main modalities: Swedish relaxation, deep tissue, and sports. Depending on the client's choice of technique, Mark might use some combination of lotions and oils, slow strokes, deep pressure, and methods designed to increase flexibility and circulation.

If someone attacked a student of America's Best Defense Easton, they’d be in for a devastating surprise, probably in the form of a fist to the face or a knee to the groin. The gym’s black-belt instructors make sure students know how to defend themselves, offering a variety of programs that specialize in self-defense and fitness. They lead specialty krav maga classes that teach students the same fighting style used by Israeli Defense Forces, which focuses on subduing one or multiple attackers quickly and efficiently, whether they are unarmed or wielding weapons. Instructors also specialize in muay thai kickboxing, kids' karate, and adult martial-arts programs that blend styles such as karate, muay thai, grappling, and wrestling.
