City Editor Connor here. Recently, after a day full of meetings around town, it was time for some serious self-care — and I knew just where to go. I booked the new Hair Spoils treatment at Skin Thermea + a facial with spa owner Meg Tyner.

Kick back, relax, and come along with me as I dive headfirst into Lakeland's luxurious new service.

What we tried:

Skin Thermea is the first spa in Lakeland to offer a head spa treatment, which includes scalp exfoliation, massage, and deep conditioning hair treatments to leave you feeling totally zen.

You know how nice it feels when a hairstylist washes your hair? Imagine that, but ten times more soothing, then add a facial and an arm + hand massage.

Visitors can choose the hour-long Hair Spoils treatment, extend it to two hours with a hair blowout, or really indulge by adding on a customized facial like I did for ultimate relaxation.

The relaxation doesn't stop at the scalp. Meg worked her magic on my face, arms, and hands too. | Photo by LALtoday

What not to miss:

The treatment is totally customized for your hair and skin needs. I have drier skin and thick, tangly hair, so Meg used extra hydrating products throughout the process.

The next day, I couldn't stop showing off to my friends + asking them to touch my hair to show how soft it felt. Best of all, a full week later, my hair still looked healthier and smoother than it had in years.

What we’re still talking about:

This was my first time at a spa, so I will admit I was a bit nervous. But Meg was extremely considerate + explained everything so I could fully relax throughout the treatment. By the end of the session, I was wishing the Hair Spoils would never end — and was already planning my return.
