It's a spa life!

Working in a spa you meet all sorts of people. On a daily basis I come across celebrities, people with money, people who don't have money, people who wish they had money or are pretending to have money, people on unemployment, people who think they are better than me....you get the idea. But whatever kind of person it is who I am servicing, that fact is, that's what it is...a service. This is a service industry. People want to be pampered. Northern New Jersey is a spa Mecca. There are tons of competing spas, some better than other (some that treat their employees better than others) that rank right up with those in Midtown.

Here is a list of some of my favorite spa services that will give you that indulgent vacation in the city feel (and quality) without traveling far!:

The Fountain Spa (Ramsey and Hackensack) :

The Woodhouse Day Spa (Montclair)

The Woodhouse Four-Handed Massage

Our Signature Massage integrates rhythmic, relaxing massage techniques with reflexology and scalp therapy.
