With the clock ticking down to Memorial Day weekend, the season of beach getaways and destination weddings is officially underway. Packing is usually simple enough—slip dress, swimsuit, sandals, check—and, thanks to a host of so-called supersalons, your pre-trip beauty maintenance can be just as streamlined. Offering everything from bang trims, bikini waxes, and polish changes to pitch-perfect hair color and subtle self-tanning sessions under one roof, they’ll transform you from head to toe—all in the space of a few dozen square feet.
New York City
Caudalie Vinothérapie Spa at the Plaza Hotel
A trip to the storied Plaza Hotel’s resident spa may not conjure up visions of brusque efficiency at first—but Caudalie’s 60-minute express menu serves up luxury pampering at lighting speed. Our favorite treatment: The Vine Flash, which includes a “petit” facial, brow shaping, bikini wax, and polish change.
Kenneth Salon
Founded by the legendary hairstylist behind Jackie O’s iconic coif, this jewel box of a space feels more like a private club. In addition to seamless cuts and color, the salon’s talented aestheticians offer full waxing services, brow grooming, and a half-hour mini facial, as well as simultaneous mani-pedis upon request.
Marie Robinson Salon
The A-list colorist’s Flatiron salon delivers quick root touch-ups and bold transformations (client Anne Hathaway acquired her new shade of platinum here earlier this month). After exiting Robinson’s chair, you can have your brows expertly tinted and tweezed—and your hands or feet simultaneously prepped for the sand.
Tracie Martyn Salon
As the go-to facialist of Hollywood royalty and fashion insiders alike, Martyn has more than one trick up her sleeve: Her signature facial resculpting wand—which lifts and tones using a mild micro current—can also be used to coach every inch of the body into bikini-ready shape. Multitaskers take note: While one of her aestheticians finishes working on your torso and legs, another can tidy up your brows or apply semi-permanent lash extensions. On your way out, pick up a pair of Martyn’s sleek new travel-size Resculpting Body Serums—one for yourself and one for your weekend hostess.
East Hampton, New York
Warren-Tricomi
Hamptons habitués have their beauty needs covered at the eastern outpost of this venerable Manhattan salon and spa. In addition to a full range of treatments, they offer Kérastase hair conditioning treatments—perfect for post-sun rejuvenation.Miami Beach
Club Essentia at the Delano
This rooftop wellness spa, which opened earlier this year at the iconic South Beach hotel, offers the essentials—waxing, polish changes, and blowouts—along with an array of rejuvenating skin and body treatments. Those who don’t have time to linger in a plush deck chair can opt for a 30-minute Quick Hydrating Facial before heading back out into the bright Miami sunshine.
Nashville
Escape Day Spa & Salon
Part salon, part sanctuary, this two-level spa specializes in out-of-the-ordinary treatments, including a detoxifying espresso scrub and a forest-scented herbal soak. (No wonder Gwyneth Paltrow approves.) You can also spruce up your brows, sit for a mani-pedi (at the same time, if necessary), and freshen up your cut and color.
Philadelphia
Rescue Rittenhouse Spa
The pros at this peaceful neighborhood oasis take on brows, bikini lines, and broken nails with equal aplomb. For an instant summer-ready glow, try the Buff & Bronze treatment, which pairs gentle all-over exfoliation with a subtle, sun-kissed-worthy application of bronzing lotion.
Chicago
Salon Buzz
Treatments like the Express Pedicure or Flash Facial will have you out the door—and en route to a nearby lakeside escape—on time. If you’re in the mood to relax, stay for a custom Shu Uemura hair-conditioning ceremony (complete with blissful 30-minute scalp massage) at the full-service salon.
NoMI Spa at the Park Hyatt
This sprawling spa is designed for luxuriating, whether you’re settling in for a full day or stopping by for a quick bikini wax and a pedicure. Nearly all the treatments—from the skin-sloughing Body Polish to a classic manicure—come with a tea pairing.Houston
Trellis Spa at the Houstonian
At 17,000 square feet, the Houstonian’s Texas-size spa is ideal for a pre-vacation overhaul—or a vacation in itself. Don’t miss: The Body Bronzing treatment, a head-to-toe exfoliation and streak-free application of sunless tanner that provides the ultimate one-two punch.Phoenix
The Roose Parlour and Spa
This welcoming downtown salon, stocked with Davines and Comfort Zone products, offers everything from a bang trim to bridal updos and shine-restorative hair treatments. Waxing, facials, massages, and a roster of nail services are also available.
Seattle
Bowie Salon and Spa
You can check just about everything off your weekend prep list at this charming spot: If you’d rather not venture beyond your front door, however, house-call blowouts are available upon request.
Los Angeles
Kinara Skin Care Clinic & Spa
Swimsuit season calls for impossibly smooth skin, and this spa’s array of body wraps, scrubs, and head-to-toe lymphatic drainage will deliver just that. For a serious transformation, a series of six “boot camp” sessions can be customized to meet your needs.
Four Seasons Los Angeles at Beverly Hills
This classic hotel spa opens early and closes late—the first appointment of the day is at 7:00 a.m. and the last is at 9:00 p.m.—meaning it’s easy to fit in a full lineup of emergency face and body treatments before making a last-minute weekend escape. Hotel guests can also book their services (like the summer-appropriate citrus-spiked Margarita Scrub) outdoors at the private poolside cabana.
San Francisco
Cocoon Urban Day Spa
Among their many offerings: bikini waxing that keeps pain to a minimum and streak-free airbrush tanning. What more do you need for a weekend on white sand?
