Auburn's day spas

In today's hectic lifestyle, it can be difficult to find a calm, peaceful, beautiful location to rest one's head, just for a moment, and take in the surroundings. Many people travel to faraway places by jet or by ship for just hours of addictive peace. Auburn residents need not seek any longer, however, because peace and beauty are right in their backyard in far more affordable packages.

Throughout the Auburn area a new trend is growing, offering peace and beauty to local residents just by letting them step through the door: the day spa. Once considered the domain of wealthy heiresses, day spas like Casa Di Bello Day Spa at 128 Genesee St., Suite 120; Oasis Day Spa at Joseph's Salon on 31 Columbus St. and others have opened their doors wide to peace and beauty-seeking women and men of all ages and salaries.

Casa di Bello, which means “House of Beauty” in Italian, is owned and operated by Heather West. Offering massage therapy, European facials, pedicures, manicures, waxing, hot stone facials, hot stone massage, aromatherapy, body wraps and body treatments, West says the spa does everything but hair.
