Local Spa Review

I have tried out just about every spa in town and while each has their own specialties I would like to share some of my favorites.

For a facial: The Woodhouse Spa in Franklin has an amazing atmosphere and while its a little more than some of the other spas in town you actually feel like your in a real spa as apposed to a store in a strip mall. From the minute you arrive you are pampered with some of the finest tea, a warm neck wrap and a comfy robe. You will always receive the same service no matter how small the treatment as opposed to some of the others that treat you coldly if only receiving a pedicure. They have organic and natural products and you will not leave disappointed.

Cosmetic Market in Green Hills. I know what your thinking. A facial in the middle of a fairly busy cosmetic store but YES! In the back they have a small room for facials and I have to say that my facial was the best I had ever received. You can choose your facial based on the skin care line that suites you best. They also have organic lines to try as well.

For a Massage: A Moments Peace. The spa I am totally unimpressed by. It always feels cold in the waiting room and they never give you a warm robe or spa shoes, never offer you a beverage or snack but they do have a masseuse that is the best of any place I have ever been. Her name is Toi and she is AMAZING!!! I would go to a dump to have her work on me if I had to. She customizes the massage to meet your specific needs and she uses a combination of deep tissue and Swedish to leave you feeling blissed out. At only $70 for an hour session you cant beat it.

For Botox: I know I know.. I dont get this done anymore but if I ever decided to do it again I would go back to the same place. Belle Meade Dermatology. If you arent into walking around with a frozen face this is the place for you. They are minimalists so they will use the least amount possible to obtain the results you desire and if you arent happy and need more they will be glad to add a little extra.

Overall Spa experience: Athena Health Spa is a spa you can go spend the day. They have a state of the art fitness center, jacuzzi, steam room and lounges. Its women only so its designed specifically for us. I have never had a bad service there nor a completely memorable one but I will say if your looking for a place to unwind for the day this is for you.
