In my most recent column, I made mention of Spa Week, taking place September 17-23. During this week, participating salons are offering $50 treatments that are normally priced much higher. If salon pampering isn’t exactly budgeted into your life, this is a great excuse to treat yourself. Today the final lineup of participating spas, as well as the treatments offered were supposed to be listed on Spa Week’s web site, although you have to sign up as a member to delve behind the curtains, which I did. They do have a list of participating salons: Salon Nyla (327 SW Pine), Spa Sassé (630 SW Alder), The Dragontree (2768 NW Thurman), and—if you’re not allergic to the suburbs—Massage on the Go (8879 SW Center in Tigard). They do not, however, have the treatments listed, and phone calls to the Portland spas have so far yielded only the information on Salon Nyla, who will be offering:

• A Botanical Skin Resurfacing Treatment, which normally goes for $90
• A haircut and makeup application—a standard woman’s haircut is normally $45, and a makeup application is usually $30
• A Rosemary Mint Body Wrap, normally $75

I’m awaiting phone calls from Spa Sassé and The Dragontree with their lists, so check back for updates. In the meantime, start booking your appointments. These go fast. (Nyla’s #: 228-0389) It’s a good sign that the people answering the phones don’t know off the bat what the Spa Week services are—yet!

Smearing goo on yourself = good times

UPDATE!:

Spa Sassé just called me back with their list of treatments:

• A facial OR an hour-long massage (facial is normally $85, hour massage $75)

• A small area laser treatment OR small tattoo removal (normally $90 and—wow—$250, respectively)

• An ultimate spa pedicure OR a choclatte pedicure (both normally $90—the choclatte one involves chocolate scented products, hot chocolate, truffles, and wine and champagne)
