Get Ready to Relax: Spa Week Is Coming

By Gwendolyn Purdom   Published Friday, October 09, 2009

Your tan lines are fading, work is piling up like the bags under your eyes, and the looming holiday season is sure to knock your bikini-ready body back to square one.

No need to fret—Spa Week is coming. Get plucked, peeled, and pampered at more than 60 local spas starting October 12 for just $50. Full-service treatments at the businesses included on Spa Week’s DC database usually cost $100 to $200 or more, but the week’s discounts make much-deserved indulgence even sweeter.

Those ready to destress can choose from a wide range of services including a 45-minute oxygen-blast facial and task mask at Bliss, laser hair removal for underarms at Cultura, a 75-minute pumpkin spa manicure and pedicure at Paris Alexander, a 50-minute makeup lesson at Salon Roi, a 60-minute harvest facial with organic fruits and herbs at Apothecary Wellness, and a 75-minute chocolate fondue wrap at O’Hair.
