I can’t even count the number of times I’ve hightailed over to Esthetique Paris Spa for the help of owner and aesthetician Anna (pronounced Anya). The bustling salon and separate day spa area serves the affluent community of north Scottsdale and is located in the once prestigious but now sleepy Citadel center. The aesthetics rooms […]

Sassoon Salon
We sent our secret Spa Girl in the field to check out Sassoon Salon in Scottsdale. Here's her report! My life is rather dull, so after most haircuts I'm typically headed to the grocery store or some other destination where good hair goes to waste. But this time, it's New Year's Eve and I've got […]
Steven Paul Salon
I’ll get right to the point here: Very funky. Very cool. Awesome location. Best hair cut ever. I was introduced to Steven Paul Salon by a friend who I ran into one fateful day at a local card shop. I actually didn’t recognize her at first because she had gone from a brunette to a […]
The Spa at Gainey Village Health Club & Spa
A peaceful retreat that merges fitness with pure indulgence. The Spa at Gainey Village wins the wow award hands down. In front of this almost intimidating building was a not-so-little fellow glazed in bronze, sittin’ fit and lookin’ relaxed. Possibly a sign of my fate for the day. Not a bad outlook, I decide. First item […]
The Salon & Day Spa at The Scottsdale Plaza Resort
Feeling disconnected? Need focus or creative inspiration? The Salon & Day Spa at The Scottsdale Plaza Resort may be your answer! While not necessarily a traditional massage experience, the Dehp Massage brings relaxation to a whole new level by incorporating emotional and mental stimulation. I went into the session unsure of what to expect and […]
The Beauty Scene
Relax during a facial? Nah, not this Spa Girl. My measure of a good facial is how hard you have to grip the sides of the treatment table (see my previous review). The harder the grip, the better the facial. A little post-peeling? Bring it. Cheeks as flush as a ripe tomato? Good sign. Or […]
Hand & Stone Massage and Facial Spa
Massage therapy saves the day (and a relationship!) at this convenient and affordable day spa retreat in Scottsdale. I have an issue – my back. I don’t like it and it doesn’t like me. We’ve had a very strained relationship for the past year or so. I’ve sought out couple’s therapy via numerous massage therapists […]
Spatini Skin & Nail Spa
In dire need of a manicure, I decided to deviate from my usual nail salon to go to Spatini Skin and Nail Spa in Scottsdale. I’ve heard great things about Spatini so I decided it was time to check it out for myself. On the day of my appointment work could not go by fast […]
Hansen Clinic of Natural Medicine
No matter how many at-home scrubs, tonics and masks I habitually slap on my face, nothing beats a good facial. After weeks of highly frequent blemishes and less than glowing skin, I couldn’t wait for a little pick-me-up at Hansen Clinic in Scottsdale. Located within a natural medicine office, I wasn’t sure what to expect […]
Chroma Salon Studio
I’ve got great news, Spa Girls (and guys if you’re out there). This town has some amazingly talented hair stylists who don’t charge an arm and a leg and your first born. It just takes some work to find them. Case in point, Miranda of Chroma Salon Studio in Scottsdale. Her studio is tucked in the North […]
