Spas – Staff Favorites

By Karen Garza

Ever since NBC’s television show Parks and Recreation brought #TreatYoSelf back into our lives, all that’s been in my head is what can I find that will make me happy. I’ve already taken one too many shopping trips across the city this year, and have eaten my heart out at my favorite spots, so my new focus is spoiling myself with beauty and rejuvenation services. Laredo is home to some fantastic places that will leave you feeling beautiful and refreshed. So, whether you are looking for a day of solo pampering or a day out with friends and significant others, any of these places is sure to leave you coming back for more!

One of the newer spots in Laredo, Skintology brings you spa and salon services, plus pilates classes in one place! If you follow them on Facebook, you can see they always have great deals and specials that you don’t want to pass up. From the moment you walk in, Skintology exudes a sense of luxury and class. You can find a large array of services with price points for every need. I can just imagine how easy it can be to spend the whole day there; start with a pilates workout in the morning, move onto a relaxing massage, pamper yourself with a facial and finish the day off with a mani/pedi combo. After such a great day, don’t spoil the fun, continue enjoying the other great places Laredo has to offer.

Skintology Spa is located at 9802 McPherson Rd, Suite 116. For more information give them a call at 956.727.0950
