Service Review: FawnFeather Day Spa, Lake Mary

Someone once said that day spas were my mother ship. When I am obnoxiously wealthy, I am going to add a wing to my home devoted exclusively to the pampering and beautification of my person. I'll even build bedrooms where the massage therapist and aesthetician can sleep. Until then, though, I'll have to make do with the day spa.

FawnFeather is a conventional day spa located in Lake Mary/Heathrow, and was recently voted "Best Day Spa" in both Seminole County and Orlando. It offers all of the services that you would normally expect, such as massages, body wraps, hair services and facials. The staff is experienced, friendly, and most importantly, very down to earth. Nobody is going to shake their head at you or raise their perfectly shaped eyebrows if you went a little too long in between colorings or facials. Despite their humility, I find that the staff here is exceptionally well trained. I also love this particular day spa because they are constantly offering promotions for their spa services and you can usually get a good deal.

Be warned, though. If you want an "ethereal" experience at the spa, you should probably try another place. Although FawnFeather is certainly a calm and relaxing environment, I think the overall descriptor that best applies to it is "comfortable." On very rare occasions, I like to visit a spa that makes me feel like I might bump into Paris Hilton while I am there. FawnFeather doesn't exactly exude elitism, but, at the same time, I'm adamant that this attribute stands out as one of its more impressive features.

Beauty, after all, is about upkeep and you want to go to a place where you feel comfortable enough that you visit it frequently. FawnFeather offers elite service in an unpretentious and friendly environment, and definitely holds the potential of becoming your mother ship, too.
