DÉJÀ VU AVEDA SALON & SPA
STAR SERVICE: BODY WAXING

The Déjà Vu Salon & Spa’s popular Aveda exfoliating treatment and Deep Cleansing/Acne Relief are among the top skin-clarifyng experiences offered at this well-regarded spot. That said, we recommend the salon’s waxing treatments ($13–$67) because, with all due props to Oscar winner Mo’Nique and her unshaven legs, a hairy body in the summertime is just not cute. Déjà Vu will smooth your legs, shoulders, and back, and, if you want, give you a Brazilian wax, all using the best natural plant-based waxes, essential oils, and calming ingredients. 31 W.
