Going to The Body Cafe is what I look forward to the most when I am in Durham. I live in the north but spend the winter months here.
Tonya gives the best massages -- I find myself drifting into total relaxation the minute she begins to work her magic on my aching body. She finds all the tight muscles in my neck, shoulders & back, and when she's finished, I feel regenerated, and great all over! From the scented lavender oil, to the hot stones and hot towels she uses, all my cares and worries just melt away with her touch. She is truly a body healer.
Monica's facials are unbelievable. I always wished I'd booked more time, because an hour with her is never enough. I'm so relaxed, I usually fall asleep. She never leaves the room, like in other spas. While she's waiting for my mask to dry, she massages my neck, shoulders & arms and then wipes those areas down with hot towels. I look five years younger when she's done! When my facial is over, I wish I could ask her to do it all over again! I never want it to end.
When I'm finished with my massage and facial, they turn me over to Courtney to do my hair -- and no one - anywhere - can color and style my hair like she does. In other salons, I typically end up redoing my hair after I leave, but not when Courtney is finished. And I get so many compliments too.
I have been all over the world and have visited many salons and resort spas -- but never do I feel as comfortable walking in or as refreshed walking out, as when I'm at The Body Cafe. This kind of pampering and relaxation is VERY hard to find.
The atmosphere is warm and inviting....from the soft music, the burning, fragrant candles, to the beautiful smiles of these fantastic women....they eliminate all the stresses of my life -- even if it's for a few hours -- they make my day (and me) feel very special, and that means so much!
Oh, and if you're into tanning -- there is nothing better than their Ultra-Bronz tanning bed. You'll never go anywhere else to tan once you've tried this bed.
When I leave Durham - my days at The Body Cafe are what I miss the most. These women are more than fantastic technicians -- they are my friends!
Give them a call - you won't be disappointed!
