How to spa 'round town....(part 1.) published in Hampton Daze Magazine)








how to spa ‘round town

Are you overwhelmed?

Are you looking for a spa sanctuary to escape to? an on-the-go touch up?
or products to take home and use? And you don’t know where to go?...
You have to check out this list but remember, there are multiple party’s everyday during the high season and everyone needs to get themselves groomed…and when it rains, there are only a few things to do during the day, one of which is to go to the spa! So be sure to leave plenty of time to park and settle into your bathrobe and slippers because if you show up late, you’re paying full price and not getting the most detailed service!

Massage Be sure to schedule your “ In Home” service in advance because “ right now “ has a heavy price tag during the high season. It’s wise to call one of our many local spas for a licensed massage therapist to come to your home.

Spray Tanning Make time to exfoliate beforehand to avoid blotchiness. Get your nails done prior and arrive in dark clothes. Don’t sport the shades, pool hop, or make out with anyone for up to 3 hours! Try E Day Spa in Hampton Bays or Style Bar in Sag Harbor.

Waxing The Estheticians at Naturopathica Spa or A Studio in East Hampton are fully equipped for Brow Shaping and Brazilian Waxing. Beware: Do not go to happy hour before a Brazilian wax though, it won’t work… Take two Advil instead! Go home with a Naturopathica Lavender Bath and Body Oil to relieve redness and irritation, even if it’s from being in the sun!

Puffy Eyes and Dark Circles The magic cream is called Phyto Contour by Yon Ka, www.YonKa.com. This is the magic pill that treats dark circles, puffiness, sinus headaches, migraines and hangovers. Keep it on your end table to help open your tired eyes. The high content of rosemary and eucalyptus has the quickest most soothing results.
Step into Ananas Spa in Southampton for a Yon Ka Le Grand Classique Facial with
eye mask but do not leave without purchasing your Phyto Contour!

Mani/Pedi After a Caviar manicure at the Salon at Gurneys Inn and Spa, recline in the massaging pedicure chair and get your toes glammed up! You can not help to stare at the peaceful Atlantic Ocean waves with a hand delivered frozen BBC cocktail in hand. The meditative music and a vacant chair beside you for a loved one to enjoy is surely a way to top off this therapy. It was a great first date for me!



Gentlemen’s Corner: “Manstyle Zanzibar Foaming Body Scrub” by
Soy Spacasso (
www.soyspacasso.com) and the “Jeris Musk for Men” an after shave for face, neck and chest can be purchased at Maison 24. These products are not too much, they are just right. Trust me, you will want to jump his bones!
