I had a facial at Solace Day Spa in Rosemary in July. It was my first facial and it was SOOOOOO wonderful. I was somewhat less impressed with my pedicure, but I think the atmosphere of the spa portion upstairs (the massage, facial etc area) is really really nice. The only problem is the locker room was a bit awkwardly laid out ... overall a good experience though. I am not a spa person usually but I would be happy to go back.

Awesome. Thanks for the tips. 
I'll report back once I go for my day - probably not until closer to Christmas.

Does Watercolor or Seaside have a spa?  Massage?  I'm trying to find best places near the eastern end of 30A?  I've tried Rosemary (Solace) and would like to compare with other places.  May add a facial and manicure, too, in October after bleaching and housing down the trim on the porches and maybe washing a few windows.

Seaside has Aquarius Spa, but I have not been there lately.  I think they have changed owners since I went there but I haven't heard anything negative.

I know there is a place in the Publix shopping center by Carrilon that does nails, massage, etc. I am not sure of the name or the service quality. :idontno:

Oooh ... I went there and got the worst hair cut! It was awful. 
My mother-in-law had her nails done there, and liked it. But she said it took 2 hours and cost $40, which was way more than she was expecting to pay. 

WaterColor does have a spa, but I've never been there. Maybe I'll go check it out and see how it looks. I'd imagine they are pretty pricey though.

Who do you recommend that I ask for at Solace for a massage.  Does anyone have a favorite masseuse there?

Oh my God that rambo kitty is just too much! That cracks me up!

Yes, Bellezza was where I had the horrible cut. It was a few weeks after they opened, so maybe there are new stylists now. 

I'm a huge fan of Salon Twist. I don't get my hair cut every month though - about every 3-4 months - so spending the extra money doesn't hurt so much.

I've tried Blu in Grayton, Solace in Rosemary, and Aquarius in Seaside.  The 'Don't Worry, Be Happy' service at Aquarius is by far the most relaxing treatment.  It's a combo hydrotherapy/massage.  The bath relaxes you so you get more out of the massage.  I also think Aquarius uses the best products.  It's best if you can go during the week, so it's really quiet and you usually feel like you're the only person there.  They must stagger the appointments.  Aquarius also does great manicures and pedicures upstairs, where you have a view of the gulf from the pedicure chairs.  Solace has the best stand alone massage, but they only use Aveda products and I'm not a big fan of Aveda.  Blu has a really good facialist, so I'd recommend them for skin care.

I'd like to splurge on myself and spend a day at one of 30A's day spas. Can anyone recommend a good place to go?

I love the massage at For the Health of It, but also want to get a facial, nails done, etc. 

I've been to the Sandestin Hilton Spa and wasn't impressed with the number of women waiting for services. It was like a cattle call. 

I usually don't splurge on myself - and we're talking like $400 - so I don't want to go somewhere and have a sub-par experience. 

Suggestions????
