Aletris Center of Integrative Medicine
Ahhh it’s summer and time to bring on the dog days of sipping pina coladas poolside! But not so fast. Before we get carried away with fun in the sun, the ugly side of bikini season creeps up with a hairy reminder. Thankfully, we got word of a new bikini hair removal service that claims […]
Zethina Cosmetics & Skin Care
I first met Zethina in the lady’s restroom on the set of a local morning TV show. She took one look at me, pulled out her magical makeup brush and went to town on fixing my botched makeup job. I have adored her ever since and now that she has her own spa, I couldn’t […]
Bravo Salon & Day Spa
We sent SpaGirl in the field Carolyn to Bravo for the much-touted Brazilian hair straightening process. We think her hair turned out super fab. But would she do it again? Here’s her behind-the-chair report. Upon my arrival at Bravo Salon, my hair was nothing short of a major disaster. As a natural brunette whose motto […]
Los Caballeros Spa at Rancho de los Caballeros Resort
If there’s one phenomenon that’s unique to Arizona, it’s gotta be the "cowboy zen" style of decor and attitude. On the design side, it’s a blend of the rough and tough — think rawhide, leather and distressed pine — with the soft and mellow — sage green hues, feathery soft chamois throws and a purposeful […]
The Spa at DC Ranch Village Health Club & Spa
First, let’s be clear. I’m no gym rat. I have a series of unsubstantiated fears that range from dropping a weight on my forehead to flying off the treadmill and ending up in a heap in front of some super jock. And in this particular joint, I also have a fear of looking fat. So […]
VH Spa for Vitality + Health at Hotel Valley Ho
Okay, here’s my perfect spa day. I roll up into Hotel Valley Ho and relinquish my ride into the trusty hands of the handsome hotel valet attendant. I stroll into the hotel, through the airy lobby, the slinky lounge and into Cafe Zuzu where I plop down in a cozy nook. I throw back a […]
Salvador Calvano Hair
Oh God. I've become a Scottsdale snob. Not that anything's wrong with that, but when I parked my car outside of Salvador Calvano's Phoenix hair studio, I couldn't help thinking: Hope my car's still here when I get back. Touted as the stylist to the stars — his work has graced the covers of Glamour, […]
Spa at The Boulders Resort
The moment I arrived at Spa at The Boulders (formerly the Golden Door Spa), my habitually hurried gait slowed to a stroll. I hadn’t even made it to the check-in desk before stopping to admire a trickling stream that welcomes each guest in a Zen courtyard before the entrance. Once inside, the Spa lived up to its […]
Denise Hurley Aesthetics & Laser
I recently visited Denise Hurley Aesthetics to get some help with a problem that was quickly becoming out of control — adult acne. After weeks of frustration with bumpy skin that wasn’t disguise-able with makeup, my favorite Arizona Spa Girl, Lisa, recommended that I pay a visit to Denise. As you know probably know from […]
