Salons and Spas coast to coast
Good Morning Ladies:
I am new and apologize firsthand if this thread has been covered before. My son is 11 months old and I barely have time to post, much less plow through pages of previous posts!
I am curious about top notch beauty salons and day spas coast to coast. My husband travels a great deal and while the baby is too young to travel now, I would like to accompany my husband on some of his trips. Especially if I can sneak away for a day (or few hours) of beauty while DH watches our son.
What are some of the salons or spas that YOU recommend? (I am especially interested in hearing from ladies in the following metro areas:
Boston
Washington DC
Las Vegas
Houston
Austin
San Antonio
Denver
Feel free to share your favorite salon even if your metro isn't on the list.)
San Antonio is my hometown but I haven't lived there in several years, so I don't know what salons are there anymore. And my in-laws are in New England. I currently live in an area where finding competent hair care professionals is QUITE the challenge! So any chance I can take to get my hair done (right), I'm all over it!
Thank you and have a splendid day!

Being the spa girl I am I can recommend many spas in california. Glen Ivy Hot Springs in Corona, CA
Glen Ivy Day Spa in La Brea, CA
The Body Clinic in Los Angeles
My favorite in Las Vegas is the Mandalay Bay Spa
Hummm... I'm feeling just a little bit more relaxed just thinking about it.
Good Luck, and Great travels!!!

Here's a couple of spas if you're in Santa Fe
The Bishop's Lodge
and
Ten Thousand Waves (Japanese style spa)
There's also a very popular place called Ojo Caliente that has mineral hot springs, in Abiquiu (of Georgia O'Keefe fame).

Sorry for crashing, but if you're in the DC area, and have access to a car, Coolfont Spa in Maryland is wonderful! I spent a week there after my divorce, as a treat to myself, and it was worth every penny!

I don't mean to hijack this thread, but if anyone is interested in making their own all natural products, or using natural ingredients, I just created an online community for this purpose. It's still under construction, but the registration is functional so you can sign up if you want.
For those who want to make their own cleansers, facial scrubs, masks, etc. or body oils, lotions, and butters...this is where the recipes and discussions will be:

Sorry, I couldn't offer a good spa in the cities listed above. I don't live near any of those cities, and where I live there isn't really a great spa. I figured in case you're stuck at home, or don't want to go out, you can make your own I just made lip balm last month

I know more about the Nashville area than Clarksville, so feel free to give these shops a try:
Fine Art International on Charlotte Pike (ask for Valerie)
Divas Salon on West Trinity Lane (ask for Tanzy)
Both are great salons that focus on healthy hair that is beautifully styled. If you have any more questions feel free to PM me.

In Summerlin, the Ultra Salon and Day Spa... But I think the Red Rock Casino has a spa. Then all the major hotels on the strip have spas.
Where I am: Spa Sanctuary
Best place I've been to aside from the Dallas, TX spa in the Fairmont Hotel, the Abbotsford, Canada The Wild Orange Spa...
In Sedona, Arizona all the major hotels have nice spas but if you could get one near a vortex, you'd be good to go...

The FEbruary issue of Upscale Magazine (Toni Braxton and her husband Keri are on the cover) has a piece about spas. Check it out!
