The Lighthouse Point Day Spa, Lighthouse Pt., Florida - Hidden Treasure

The Lighthouse Point Day Spa in Lighthouse Point, Florida is part of the Merle Norman Cosmetic Store. I'm afraid you might not even know it's there unless you've stopped in the store and picked up a brochure or had your manicure, pedicure there.

When you walk into the Merle Norman Cosmetic Store you see shelves of wonderful jewelry, handbags, hair ornaments, key chains and more accessories behind the counter on the right and on the counter. To the left is a wall of cosmetics by Merle Norman and a cosmetic make up table where you can have the product demonstrated by getting a free make over. It's a very attractive, pleasant store with a lot to offer.

The Spa itself is located in the rear. It's very small. There is a maniciure table a pedicure chair which is heated and offers massage and the massage room and facial room . The Pedicure in the heated chair is extremely relaxing. They also put a heated, aromatherapy pillow on your neck during your pedicure. Being a very small set up does mean you need to book in advance since they can only handle one or two customers in the Spa at once. It also means you cannot do teenparties or shower parties here. The up side is you will have the place all to yourself basically.

They offer several packages: Pamper Me which includes European Facial, Swedish Massage, Manicure and Pedicure for $170.00. The De Stress My Day offers European Facial and Swedish Massage for $130.00 or Let's Party, a European Facial, Manicure and Pedicure for $105.00. Each of these would make a delightful gift.
