Shimmer Spa

Shimmer Spa is a full-service salon and spa in Strongsville, Ohio, known for facials and head spa rituals from independent specialists.

The head spa menu is built around a sensory experience the spa describes as warm, cold and tingly. The Awaken Ritual Head Spa (60 minutes) is offered by founder Melanie, with gift certificates starting at $115. The Jade Ritual Head Spa adds a Gua Sha facial treatment and facial masks. Angel, a licensed massage therapist, offers the Heavenly Head Spa, a massage-based version with a 75-minute option, but only on select weekends. Afterward, guests can sit under the dryer, and hair styling can be arranged with a stylist on site. Facials include dermaplaning, resurfacing peels and the H2Glow hydro-peel.

Reviewers describe a clean, quiet space with soothing music and friendly staff. Several say Melanie's facials leave them relaxed with great skin.

Each provider runs their own business and sets their own hours, so you book directly with the specialist you want, online or by call or text. It suits anyone who wants head spa, skincare, hair or nails with a provider they can see regularly.
