Tocasierra Spa & Salon located on the sprawling property of Squaw Peak Pointe Hilton Resort is not your typical, everyday hotel spa. Upon my arrival, I was greeted warmly by the spa director and staff which immediately made me feel at ease. After giving me a tour of their newly remodeled, upscale digs, I was […]

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 […]
Hawaiian Experience Spa Chandler
As I sat at my desk working away one afternoon, I started longing for a tropical escape. Knowing very well an impromptu trip to Hawaii would wreak havoc on my bank account, I did the next best thing and scheduled a Lomi Lomi massage at Hawaiian Experience Spa in Chandler — the newest of their […]
Simply Ravishing – The Salon
This is a story about a true Princess experience – no joke! A few weeks ago, I went out to check out Simply Ravishing – The Salon, a new modern day spa in Gilbert to experience what all the buzz was about. Located in a quiet shopping center in Phoenix’s East Valley, Simply Ravishing feels […]
Spa Pima
I find that my days are filled with crouching over a computer feverishly typing away (while insanely caffeinated), which can cause some major aches and pains in my neck, shoulders and back. I know most of you know exactly what I’m talking about! In dire need of a good therapeutic massage, I made an appointment at […]
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 […]
