Amazing! Go Here!
"If you are looking for a great waxing place in Ithaca. You've found your place! Having lived in several cities as a young adult, I'm always on the hunt when I've moved. Been to about four or five places previously, somewhere else here in Ithaca too. Alta is the best. This spa has sugaring and it's fantastic! My skin has never felt softer or smoother! AND, I've found that I am hair free for a much longer time. Although a little more expensive then some other locations here in Ithaca, the sugaring is worth it! I'll pay the little extra for way softer skin, and better service."


Excellent experience!
"Very professional and instantly made me feel at ease! Would definitely come back again."

Q: How often should I include Body Treatments into my fitness regimen?

A: On an as-needed basis. During the change in seasons, it's best to always rid your skin of any negative effects of the previous season like dryness and sun damage.

Experience a Valentine's Day celebration you both can get excited about!

Tired of the pressure of Valentine's Day and the same old flowers and candy that come with it? This year, have fun celebrating Valentine's Day with these creative ideas!

Weekend Getaway! Take this opportunity to venture out into the world and explore it! Enjoy a romantic weekend cruise for two! You can:

  • Experience the nightlife on deck.
  • Relax on the pool deck.
  • Brunch overlooking the ocean.
  • Join an activity with the crew at one your destinations.
  • And more!

Not feeling that adventurous? No worries! There's still so much you can do to make Valentine's Day a lot of fun!

Relax at home with a movie night. Rent a movie you both will enjoy. It doesn't have to be romantic. Grab a comedy for a night of laughs. After all, a couple that laughs together stays together.

Do a little wine tasting. Head to the nearest winery and sample wines together. Pick the wine you both like the most and buy a bottle to take home.

Spend time together at the spa. Indulge in a massage followed by a Spa Manicure /Pedicure so you and your significant other can experience a tranquil day together and leave all your worries behind.

Most importantly, don't get stuck showing your special someone how much you love them on Valentine's Day only. Express your love all month long.

Are you taking care of your skin as well as you should? We know you have the best of intentions with your skin care routine. However, even with all of your effective habits - chances are there some harmful ones you need to eliminate NOW! See if you're doing any of the following...

Wearing makeup during workouts. Wearing makeup during workouts can clog pores, causing breakouts in the T-zone area. Sweating opens up pores allowing dirt, bacteria, and yes...makeup in. Keep facial wipes with you so you can remove makeup before workouts and reduce chances of clogging pores.

Picking your face. Picking at a pimple that is not ready to be extracted may cause a rupture below the skin surface, which will lead to more breakouts. It's best to let your esthetician safely and effectively perform extractions.

Sleeping with makeup on. Come on ladies...this is a huge no-no that we all are aware of. It is vital to wash away all the excess oil and bacteria that your skin produced throughout the day. And it is especially important to wash off the pore-clogging makeup that was on top of the oil and bacteria. Gross!! Need we say more? Wash your face EVERY NIGHT before bed!

Smoking. Smoking causes wrinkles around the mouth and gives your skin a dull, blotchy, worn look. It makes you look so much older than you actually are...and no one wants that! Put the cigarettes down...no excuses!

Breaking these habits will help prevent premature lines and other signs of aging, revealing soft, younger-looking skin.

For more tips to keep your complexion looking its best, reserve your complimentary consultation!
