Me, in heaven.

If you want to indulge in the most luxurious shampoo of your life, book an appointment with Calm Waters Spa.

The wellness spa is offering $30 off its 60-minute head spa through the month of October.

Owner Bonnie Almaguer is offering the special as a tribute to her mother who lost her battle with breast cancer on Sept. 6.

MY EXPERIENCE AT CALM WATERS SPA

With origins in Japanese culture, Calm Waters Spa offers services designed to give special attention to the scalp and hair with deep conditioning treatments, facials and upper body massage. 

Bonnie was a hairstylist for many years before transitioning into the wellness side of the business.

She opened the spa last November and it’s now located at 172 S. Belknap Street on the Erath County courthouse square

.

“We live such busy lives – our plates are always full – and we forget the importance of wellness,” Bonnie told Beneath the Surface News.

“I wanted to bring something different to Stephenville that offers a calm, relaxing experience through scalp and hair care.”

My hour-long treatment began with a scalp analysis, which helped Bonnie determine the kind of treatment I needed. 

Then I changed into a robe and slipped underneath a sheet and blanket onto a heated table.

In a dimly-lit room with spa music playing, my eyes were covered with a warm mask and my scalp was gently massaged.

Warm water began to trickle down my head as Bonnie began to wash and condition my hair with high-quality products that smelled like heaven.

Avocado oil was used to gently exfoliate the buildup on my scalp, then a Japanese ring poured warm water down my hair while my shoulders, arms and hands were massaged with hot stones. 

I cannot remember the last time I felt this relaxed.

For an entire hour, I was enveloped in a warm cocoon of steam and pure luxury; I didn’t think about emails or my grocery list or stories yet to be written.

I was fully in the moment; enjoying the overload of pampering I was receiving and focused on nothing but total relaxation.

Calm Waters offers a variety of head spa packages which also includes facials and enhancements like hand scrubs, paraffin treatments, hot stones and blowouts. 

She also offers services for men like haircuts and hot towel shaves.

“I try to make this feel like the world stops for a little while for you,” Bonnie said. “There’s a lot of pampering in this experience.” 

I had a blowout at the end of my treatment and my hair and scalp have never felt better.

Book an appointment for October and save a little money.
