From the thriving bamboo stalks and flowering cacti to the flower petals and slice of lemon adrift in the soaking bowls, it’s the little touches that count at this ultra-clean Upper West spa. Don’t expect loud music or TV sets so much as faint classical music and a no-cell policy fostering a level of quiet professionalism that you don’t see everyday. An array of package deals are available as is the Sothys French line of skincare products and a neat cascade of magazines to skim through at the post-pedicure drying station. And even if you don’t make use of the licensed massage therapist on hand, you’ll enjoy the relaxing shoulder massage that accompanies every manicure. — Mary Burke
