I'm planning on getting my wife a "spa day" preparatory to an upcoming European trip we're taking, but have absolutely no idea of spas in or near TV that would suffice. I'm looking for the whole ball of wax (complete package?) of things that women would deem important for something like this: manicure/pedicure, hair trim, massage, etc. etc.

She is also talking about getting some kind of an eyebrow treatment that makes them permanent. I have absolutely no idea what she means by this. Do spas offer this too?

All feminine advice, plus names of spas that could fit this bill, will be GREATLY appreciated!

I would consider off site spas instead of in the bubble. Brownwood hotel has a beautiful spa, however, there is no guarantee on your treatment person. Have been there 3 times a pedicure starts at $80 plus tip. First time person was in full conversation with the other employees. Not relaxing. Second time, I asked for a more peaceful environment, again the employees were full on gab fest. Third time it was so quiet, until the person doing my pedi complained for 40 minutes about how much she hated working. She needed to find a way to retire and do nothing like everyone else here. She was 24, so good luck with that.

I would recommend waiting until you got to Europe and give her a treat with a European flair.

I am not a spa girl, but I have heard some great things about the Brownwood Hotel Spa from my friends and it’s close. I was in Ocala the other day and the World Equestrian Center had a spa: CALLUNA SPA AT WORLD EQUESTRIAN CENTER – OCALA. I can’t imagine the cost but man oh man, it was a beautiful place.

Totally agree. Buy her a mani-pedi at Bellagio Hair and Nails - Nail Salons Nearby - The Villages, Florida so she can get to Europe looking great. And get her a spa-day in Europe to make her FEEL great.

My neighbor does micro blading, she gets hers done regularly - permanent eyebrows. Usually done in a similar way to tattoos. But after a year they turn grey or sometimes green, you can see it at the pool on some ladies. And it takes a month for the scars to heal and eyebrow to fade into the color they were meant to be.
