Living the sweet life

Bathing in relaxation

One of the best ways to wash away your troubles is taking a steamy bath (complete with candles and a glass of your favorite wine, of course).

Buff City Soap handmakes plant-based, cruelty-free soaps, bath bombs, Epsom salts, and more daily at Highland Village. With scents that are both masculine and feminine (even for kids!), there's something for everyone to enjoy.

Nailed it!

Hands and feet deserve TLC, too!

The Nail Lounge is a full-service nail salon in Highland Village that focuses on traditional manicures and pedicures alongside spa services like eyebrow tinting and spray tanning for a head-to-toe refresh.

At the appointment-only Fondren Nails, Master Manicurist Adrienne Williams has been serving up the best in nail care for over 20 years. No matter what look you're going for, Adrienne has the experience and artistry to leave you in the best of hands.

When in doubt, zen it out

In the heart of the city, The Westin Jackson's Soul Spa provides the ultimate spa experience for guests and locals alike. After indulging in a hot stone or CBD-infused massage, take a dip in the hotel's one-of-a-kind saltwater pool or detox your body and mind at the calming sauna.

Located at Jackson's Historic Fairview Inn, nomiSpa is a holistic retreat tucked away by the hotel's tranquil gardens. Their certified staff always has your relaxation in mind, offering everything from Swedish and deep tissue massages to facials and aromatherapy. Looking to prolong your leisurely visit? Their Romantic Getaway Package includes everything you need to recharge for the real world.

Jax-Zen Healing Arts Center in Midtown offers floatation therapy. It's one of the most zen things you can do for mind, body and soul. A 90-minute session allows you a complete and total break from the world outside. It may seem intimidating, but you have to try it to understand it. Jax-Zen also offers massage, Reiki and other creative wellness opportunities.
