Spa Review: Michael's at the Cove
Michaels Day Spa #1

Michael's at the Cove Day Spa

It was with great anticipation and a little bit of anxiety that I went to Michael's at the Cove for a spa review. I was scheduled for a one hour organic facial and a 75-minute European Rose Clay Mud Treatment which starts with the salt glow treatment and ends with a "light massage with warm smoothing massage butter." My apprehension came because I had only had 3 hours sleep the night before and I was sure I was going to fall asleep during all this pampering and embarrass myself!

Not to worry--Leslie Hall, one of two massage therapists at Michael's at the Cove Salon & Day Spa, assured me that most people do fall asleep on the table and she considered it a compliment. I was determined, however, to stay awake as long as I could to take notes and observe for this review. It was the least I could do!

Michael's at the Cove opened in Hampton Cove at 131 Old Highway 431 South on November 1, 2002. To find out more information or book an appointment, you can call Michael's at the Cove at 256.533.4464.
