  • Spa treatment close to home for husbands birthday

    Jan. 2004

    My husbands birthday is coming up and I would like to take him for a spa treatment without having to go to Napa or Sonoma County. I want him to also receive a pedicure and manicure at a responsible price. We leave in San Leandro. rocquel

    How about the Claremont in Oakland? There's also a spa in downtown Mill Valley next to Jenny Low's chinese restaurant. Or the good 'ole standby - Nordstrom's in San Francisco. Patty
    Take a look at Piedmont Springs, on Piedmont Ave. My husband and I have gone there several times. They have a full range of spa services, including massage, skin treatments, hot tubs and saunas. And they also do a non-polish manicure and pedicure, which I have never had but sounds perfect for a man. It is not a ''girly'' place, so your husband should feel comfortable there. They have a web site; I can't think of the URL offhand, but if you search on ''piedmont springs spa oakland'' you should find it. Catherine
    My girlfriends and I spent a night and had treatments at the Purple Orchid Inn in Livermore. It was pricey but enjoyable and seemed like a great romantic overnight get-away. I think the website is www.purpleorchid.com Good luck Tiffany
    In San Leandro you have the Healing Hut and Effleurage, both in the downtown area. You could go up to Piedmont Springs for hot tubs as well. Depends on what you want besides massage. Sophie

    Day Spas

    March 2003

    Looking for recommendations for a day spa, within 1.5 hrs. drive of Berkeley. Would love a package (facial, massage, manicure) for under $200. Am I dreaming? Anyone familiar with Azul spa right here in Berkeley? Thanks!

    Try Kelly Ann's Spa in Pleasant Hill on Gregory Lane. It is quite an experience and the prices are within your budget Angela


    Azul is a wonderful day spa for women off of Salano Ave. in Albany. It feels like magic in there. You can relax the day away in a white bathrobe, sitting on cushy white chairs, reading, while drinking good tea, after getting out of their steamy sauna, between baths/facials/massages. It's worth a whole day--perhaps plan something like a massage in the morning and a facial in the afternoon and just relax there in between. Heaven! anonymous
    Indian Springs in Calistoga (Click here for the review.)
    Last Mother's Day, I was given a gift certificate for a haircut, facial and massage at Sole Salon on College at Ashby. I believe there was a $120 special for this. It was all lovely -the haircut was of very high caliber , the massage was a full hour and soooo blissful, the facial even helped me indentify some skin problems. They use Aveda products and the people are really nice. You can guess what I'm hinting for this year... Katia
