Spas in Berks County

"Spa" is doing a lot of work in this category. Under one label you'll find the quiet-room day spa, the nail-and-lash studio with massage tables in back, and the medical spa whose menu reads half like a dermatologist's. Berks County has all three in depth, spread mostly across Reading, Wyomissing, and Sinking Spring.

The review leaders show the range: LA SPA & NAILBAR in Wyomissing runs nails and spa services under one roof, Goldie's Beauty Bar in Reading built its following on lashes and brows, and Lords & Ladies pairs salon work with medical spa treatments at its Fleetwood location.

So decide which spa you mean before you book, then read reviews for the specific treatment you're after instead of the overall score. A great nail room can sit next to a mediocre massage, and the reverse. Once you've chosen, book it, silence the phone, and be gloriously unreachable for an hour.
