The List: Local Spas

-- Spa 1 Nails allows you to pamper yourself every once and a while.  Offering pedicures and manicures, gel nails, and acrylic nails, Spa 1 has a wonderful staff that is kind and friendly. The environment is very clean and open. You may call to make an appointment but it is not necessary because walk-ins are welcome.

-- Really pamper yourself with Ye'Ager Salon & Spa, which offers hair care, nail care, skin care, massages and waxing. You'll surely leave here feeling rejuvenated and without a care in the world. Get a one-hour deep tissue massage or, if you're pregnant, try the prenatal massage, which increases blood circulation and creates a balance for mother and child. Feeling really adventurous? Then try the international body wrap with your favorite aromas and let the soft silk mud wash away your cares.

-- Concepts Salon & Spa has two floors and is located in the heart of town. It offers a wide variety of services from nails to waxing and uses some of the most talked about products including shampoos by Paul Mitchell, Designer Central and Bed Head. The salon prefers appointments, but walk-ins are welcome.

-- Aqua Ice Salon & Day Spa is located off Crain Highway in the Osborne Professional Center. The internal décor of sea blue and green creates a tranquil environment for a hair appointment or massage.
