Pavlova's European Salon & Day Spa in Traverse City: The Best Day Spa in Northern Michigan

Once again, from the very heart of Traverse City, comes a beautiful experience. Pavlova European Salon & Day Spa is the epitome of self indulgence, not just in Traverse City, but in all of Northern Michigan. Pavlova's is an experience one must have on your Northern Michigan vacation.

Named for Anna Pavlova, a famous Russian ballerina best known for her roles in "Swan Lake" and "Les Sylphides" at the St. Petersburg Opera. At Pavlova, they strive, and succeed, in holding up her legacy of grace, elegance, and beauty. The staff at Pavlova comes from all over the world, each bringing their own individual talent and expertise to bear on you.

The services offered at Pavlova range from the typical salon and spa treatments to the extraordinaire. Rest assured, even the "typical" treatments are much more than "typical" at Pavlova. They offer Hair Artistry which includes cuts, styles, textures, dressings, colourings, highlighting, and add ons. You will not be disappointed with your style after leaving Pavlova. Other services include make up artistry, including instruction, hair removal, hand care, including differing manicures from which to choose, foot care, including differing pedicures from which to choose, hair extensions, and skin care.

But, let's face it, while those things are nice, what you really want to know about are the massage packages right? I thought so. Well, at Pavlova you will not go away any less than completely relaxed and ready to begin, or finish, your day on the beach or in the shops. Let me elaborate on some of these massage packages. We begin with the Swedish Massage. This is a gentle massage using long, smooth strokes with light to moderate pressure. This massage will help reduce emotional and physical stress and improve circulation.

The Swedish Message is $55.00 for an advanced masseuse and $65.00 for a master masseuse. This is my favorite massage, but if you wish for something more, they have others. Pavlova offers Hot Stone Massage, Deep Muscle Massage, Aromatherapy Massage, Prenatal Massage, and even a Duet Massage for you and that someone special.
