Remove summer grime, relax and pamper yourself during fall Spa Week, October 12-18th.
1 Cheryl Reid, founder of Spa Week and owner of SPA MEDIA LLC, launched the first Spa Week in October 2004 as a way to educate New Yorkers about the benefits of spa services while providing an affordable way to enjoy them. Spa Week gained such industry hype it quickly expanded nationally and caught the attention of major corporate sponsors. (Saab, Allure, etc.) Now Cheryl aims to introduce a new generation of spa goers to wellness benefits they can take part in, at least bi-annually. Maybe it’s for “wellness benefits” or maybe Spa Week is just a genius marketing idea. After all, Reid formerly owned a New York City public relations firm. Either way, Spa Week allows the average Josephine great treatments for just half a hundo – AKA $50.
How to participate? Visit http://www.spaweek.com. Register your name, email and other optional information. Then click on your respective territory. An index of results will appear with – at least for New Yorkers – an overwhelming amount of spa participants. Here it helps to have a specific spa in mind. Ask rich friends which spas they frequent. Each spa lists the Spa Week services they are offering. For instance, Completely Bare offers laser hair removal for bikini or underarm, Fresh in Soho offers a 60 minute Balance and Nourish Face Treatment, and the Salon & Spa at Saks Fifth Avenue offers a 60 minute Therapeutic Massage amongst other services.
How to book? Fall Spa Week runs October 12-18th – as in next week. Make a list the spa/services you intend to book complete with back ups as services do fill up during Spa Week. Try for days when your schedule is more flexible as you want to maximize the benefits of your relaxing services by pairing them with a relaxing day. Call individual spas to book. Spa Week does not book through their website, but if you sign up on their email list, they do provide spa specials throughout the year.

At Tribeca Beauty Spa, seasonal specials make pampering more affordable.
0 While wandering through Tribeca, pooch in tow, I saw a tranquil sign that said, “Tribeca Beauty Spa.” Beauty Spa? I love beauty! Enter me and said pooch to a calm, serene dimly lit spa. The first think I noticed was the organization. Are we still in cramped Manhattan? I asked the pup, and reached to the neat, glossy brochure to browse the menu of their services. A full-service spa, Tribeca Beauty Spa offers everything from traditional Swedish and hot stone massages to Holistic Rebalancing Therapy – a combination Swedish massage that infuses reflexive therapy and hot stones, placed on the seven chakras of your body. The massage therapist then performs an energy balancing treatment over your entire body followed by a hot stone massage.
What was more exciting were the variety of seasonal specials at Tribeca Beauty Spa. For a limited time, they are offering the Holistic Rebalancing Therapy for $150 rather than the original $175. Too steep for your budget? Never fear. The Tribeca Beauty Spa aims to work within their clients needs. Their most recent offer included a free pedicure with purchase of any 60 minute massage. Their average hour long massage goes for about $105, and while you may be able to find a massage less expesive elsewhere, you cannot find a massage and 45 minute pedi for this price. The Tribeca Pedicure is heavenly. They offer the traditional cuticle trim, exfoliation and polish with extra luxuries like a salt glow and moisturizing massage.
Tribeca Beauty Spa became my favorite place to buy gift certificates. Less showy than Bliss and Glow but with the same clean, serene atmosphere. Plus, spending an afternoon in tranquil Tribeca is a wonderful break from the suits in midtown or tourists in Soho. So wonderful, I might just move there.

Brooklyn's greenest beauty spa makes eco-chic and wallet-friendly worth the trip.
0 It’s summer, and we can’t trot around with tattered toes and dirty digits, but traditional nail salons give us a headache and leave our pure bodies feeling toxic! In early May, I discovered WINK Beauty Bar, the only eco-friendly beauty bar in North Brooklyn, and have been a convert ever since. From their sustainable storefront to their green products, W!NK offers “eco chic beauty treatments” such as nail care, body treatments, massages, eye brow maintenance, make up application, detox treatments and more. 
I’m a convert. Walking into W!NK is a complete different experience than any New York City beauty bar. A beauty experience at W!NK is relaxing, calming and void of gross fumes, dust particles and scary tools of most NYC salons more concerned with cutting costs than the health of their customers. Products at W!NK do not contain parabens, formaldehyde, phalates or toluene. All are organic, vegan, and authentically natural. Ahhhh…. Polishes you can surely find at W!NK are Zoya, O.P.I. and Spa Ritual.
Better yet? Their sanitary services meet New York State health code requirements. (i.e. Their tools are disinfected place in a medical-grade autoclave; far superior to UV light boxes some salons use and better for your health than bleach and harsh chemicals.) Still better? A mani/pedi combo runs $40 and if you opt for their ECO Mani/Pedi, W!NK will trip, buff and shape your nails sans polish for just $28.
W!NK’s signature green facial includes deep cleansing, detox mask, exfoliation, an herbal steam and a massage. Oo la la.
W!NK’s waxing services use a vegetable based wax, and they offer an extensive menu of body and detox services for both men and women at a price less than or comparable to For a complete list of W!NK’s services click here.
