SALONS & SPAS
Be it for an entire day or just a stolen hour, it’s easy to relax, rejuvenate and be pampered at any number of Westchester- based salons and spas. Here is just a sam- pling of the many options:
u Oasis Day Spa in Dobbs Ferry, conve- niently located just off the Saw Mill River Parkway, brings the Manhattan day-spa experience to Westchester County. En- joy 15 treatment rooms, a couples room, a beautiful, outdoor, rooftop garden, and an extensive spa boutique. Services run the gamut from facials to massage (in- cluding sports, deep-tissue, and Swedish) and include services just for men, such as body scrubs, massages, and facials.
u Bellava MedAesthetics & Plastic Surgery Center in Bedford Hills is a 3,000 sq. ft. me- di-spa that combines medical services with decadent spa pampering. Services range from facelifts to the Mommy Makeover, a customized procedure that allows clients to restore their pre-pregnancy figures. Spa treatments include body wraps, makeup consultations, and massages.
u Described by some as “the Canyon Ranch of Westchester,” Satori Spa in Katonah is all about relaxation and harmony. A fulsome roster of treatments is offered, from mas- sages and skincare to tech-forward services like Dermaplaning, chemical peels, and ey- brow and eyelash tinting.
u When it comes to luxury, hotel spas rarely disappoint, and THANN Sanctu- ary Spa at the Castle Hotel & Spa in Tar- rytown and The Spa at The Ritz-Carlton in White Plains are two prime examples. At THANN, enjoy single services like facials and massages. Also, explore such packag- es as the Serene Sunday Getaway, which offers a 60-minute Swedish massage, the THANN aroma-lymphatic massage, and the 70-minute ultimate detoxifying facial, along with a three-course brunch in the hotel’s restaurant, Equus. The Spa at The Ritz-Carlton, Westchester, offers facials, massages, mineral baths, and a wealth of other services, including themed pack- ages based on the seasons.
u The Bronxville Wellness Sanctuary isn’t called that for nothing, because the op- eration is all about making you thrive. The cozy space relaxes you upon entering, and servies like reiki, shamonic healing, intui- tive coaching and meditation workshops, in addition to facials, massages, skincare, yoga and more, guarantee you’ll leave feel- ing as radiant inside as you are outside.
u Hallelujah Foot & Spa in Carmel offers facials and massages, as well as acupunc- ture and reflexology.
