The relaxation of a spa -- massages, facials, pampering -- who could resist it?
"It's a great way to unwind," says Catherine Tiruzio, a patron at Green Spa and Wellness Center in Brooklyn.
Most people need a little relaxation but not the stress on their wallets. Spas can be expensive, costing anywhere from $50 for a manicure to $200 for a massage.
But starting next week, you can experience full premiere spa services for just a fraction of the cost.
Spa Week runs October 15-21. Each spa offers two to three full service treatments for just $50 each.
"If you've never been to a spa this is the perfect time to take the time out, treat yourself go to the spa receive a service and if you are a regular spa goer you can try out more services at more places because the cost is extremely affordable," says Kelly Verdi of Spaweek.com.
