Profile

Turtle Bay Spafumerie offers a menu of brow-shaping, bikini-waxing, and ear-candling services in addition to the usual facial-and-massage routine. In order to fulfill this one-stop mini-shop approach, the spa houses a bath and beauty boutique stocked with European products, a hydrotherapeutic Vichy shower, and a few relatively more spacious treatment rooms. Face and body treatments, performed chiefly by soft-spoken, nimble-fingered Romanian and Russian aestheticians, combine the high-tech (oxygen flows and crystal microdermabrasion) with the hands-on (hot stones and upper-body massages). An array of packages, discounts, and specials attracts regulars as well as bridal, sweet-sixteen, and bat mitzvah parties. — Karen Tina Harrison
