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 […]

Primp and Blow at the Waterfront
Primp and Blow offers more than just fabulous blowouts! Read our review of their facial services. I don’t know about you but I’m not one for a phoo-phoo facial. If I’m not hanging on to the edge of the treatment bed for dear life at some point during the facial, I’m bored (yawn). If you […]
Fuchsia
Fuchsia had us at hello. As soon we stepped foot into this pink haven, we were smitten with the enthusiastic staff, the energetic hues that danced throughout the boutique and spa, and the concept of fun, funky relaxation all rolled up into this hip package. So to get an unbiased review from someone who had […]
The Spa at Carefree Resort & Villas
First, let me share a little secret. The absolutely best time to visit a resort spa located smack in the heart of the Sonoran desert is during the dog days of summer. Chances are that you will have the place to yourself. And on this scorching day in August, I was lucky enough to find […]

Vanity on Mill

Scarier sounding than it actually is, I stopped by Vanity on Mill for an underarm laser hair removal session. Here’s the full report and I have to tell […]
Absolute Vitality Spa
Tucked in a boutique space within the Fiesta Resort and Conference Center, Absolute Vitality Spa has an unmistakably spa-like feel. Dimmed lighting and soft music set the relaxed tone and with two treatment rooms located at the back of the facility, services are performed in complete peace and quiet. My massage therapist began my treatment […]
Skintopia
Because of its location in a medical complex, you might expect Skintopia to be clinical and cold. Not at all. Once co-owner Lorrie retrieved me from the office waiting room and led me to her studio, I was transported to a comfy zone of soothing brown and blue hues. My treatment du jour was the […]
Salon Beauremy
Spa-girl-in-the-field Carolyn visited Salon Beauremy not one but two times (now that’s dedication!) to review their salon and skincare services. Here’s her glowing report!
