H2O Salon and Spa: While it is understood from the moment you walk into H2O salon that hair is the main focus – the spa side is not to be taken lightly, as it is by far one of the best I have experienced in New Orleans. beautyThe friendly, professional, highly trained and drop-dead gorgeous staff is there for one purpose only: to pamper you beyond belief. A wide range of services are offered both a la carte and in specialty spa packages to fit your needs and budget. I opted for “The Great Escape” package, and at the end of a luxurious afternoon I was beyond relaxed and ready for my close up! Truly unparalleled service and a warm inviting staff makes an H2O spa package a great pick-me-up gift for yourself or a wonderful Mother’s Day surprise for mom.


I recommend the signature facial with Jessica Klein, who has worked at H2O since 1997. It was the ultimate in skin care and relaxation; I fell asleep and my skin glowed for days after. Definitely a treat.

Beauty Fact
Five hundred milligrams of Vitamin C twice daily will help promote collagen in the body, in addition to repairing cell damage and strengthening the moisture barrier. So do as your mother always told you, and take your vitamins!

Product Fact
Don’t throw away those thin plastic covers that come under the lids of some creams. They protect the active ingredients and help make them more effective.
