Spa Week continues through Sunday, so New Yorkers still have the opportunity to try one of hundreds of full-length health, wellness, and beauty treatments, including massages and facials, manicures and pedicures, microdermabrasion, peels, waxing, laser hair removal, cellulite reduction, and more, for $50. The appointments went faster than ever this year, but there are still spas offering deals on spaweek.com, including an oat milk facial, enzyme peel, or massage at KUR Skin Lab; Skin Spa’s wonderful OxyTrio face treatment, which twi-ny enjoyed last year; and perennial favorite Essential Therapy’s two massage options (deep tissue or Swedish) or blueberry detox facial. And if there are any spots left, grab one of newcomer Q Flatiron’s Infinity Float sessions, a revolutionary experience in which participants enter their own private cabanalike changing room complete with an Infinity Float pool, then lie down to remain suspended in warm ten-inch-deep water infused with a thousand pounds of Epsom salts for up to an hour. Floaters can regulate the light inside their spacious pods (mini-rooms, really; one can stand up in them), but the best experience comes with the lights off, after ten minutes of relaxing music ends, in silence, resting in perfect balance, senses blissfully at rest. (NOTE: It’s important to remember not to schedule a treatment via the spa’s website; you must register on the official Spa Week site and book from there in order to receive the special deals.)
