Drybar Phoenix
Drybar’s new Phoenix location, near the Biltmore is a chic and cozy place to get your tresses styled to perfection. Needing some serious hairapy (Hair – Therapy) and just wanting to spoil myself a little I made an appointment at Drybar in Phoenix. From start to finish, the entire experience was stress-free and enjoyable. Not [...]
Centre for Well-Being at The Phoenician
Arizona Spa Girls review of the Centre for Well-Being at The Phoenician. The Centre for Well-Being at The Phoenician will always be a sentimental favorite among all the spas that I’ve been lucky enough to visit. One, because it was the first spa that I’ve ever been to and two, because it was the very [...]
Joya Spa at Montelucia Resort

Spa Avania at Hyatt Regency Scottsdale Resort and Spa at Gainey Ranch

But I'd have to peg the people — from the reception staff to the highly skilled therapists — as the primary reason for the Avania experience being so emotionally elevating and memorable. [...]
Maggie’s European Skin Care
There's just something about Maggie. It had been nearly 7 years since I last visited her at the resort spa where she still works a few days a week. I had fallen head over heels for her thorough yet oh-so relaxing facials, her warm and compassionate sensibility, and her sincere concern for the condition of [...]
Park Avenue Blow Dry and Beauty Bar
Whether seeking a full day of pampering or a quick treat, head to Park Avenue Blow Dry and Beauty Bar for a pick-me-up. With my stick-straight hair, styling my ‘do is a fairly simple task (please don’t hate me), which is why I never quite understood the appeal of going in for a blowout. But [...]
