Knock ‘em dead peepers in no time at all. Brows or Lashes are $35 each or $50 for both.

A LEGEND RETIRES

Long time visitors to our spa will remember when it was known as The Stress Less Step. Those who have been coming for a very long time may even remember when the Cox family brought the spa to Scottsdale from New York. What some of you may not know is that the spa's first therapist, Hilda Franco, will be retiring this month. Since The Stress Less Step opened it's doors in Manhattan on 61 st street between Park and Madison in 1985, Hilda has, literally, had her hands in every aspect of the business.

Over the years she has faithfully served as Lead Therapist, Spa Director and mentor to hundreds of young therapists. Countless distinguished guests, including Stevie Nicks & members of the Goldwater family have counted on Hilda to ease their weekly aches and pains.
When asked what the most memorable part of her career has been, Hilda said, "I will never forget the way that the Cox family welcomed me. I will always be thankful that they allowed me to be a part of their family".Those of you who have not had the pleasure of Hilda's massage have until July 29 th to find out what you will be missing.
Please join The Lamar family in wishing Hilda the best of luck and a little relaxation of her own, during her well-deserved retirement.
