I Feel Pretty, Oh So Pretty

Sometimes you just need a manicure. Based on time, budget, or personal preference, some people would rather pop in for a quick, practical treatment than spend the afternoon getting a mud wrap, massage, and water therapy session. PrettyCity.com allows visitors to search for day spas and salons in 33 destinations ranging from New York to Hilton Head Island, with a write-up of each facility. Although PrettyCity.com can find you a masseuse, the site has a heavier focus on salon treatments than others of its kind. The site also provides information on spa trends such as Japanese hair straightening and eyelash extensions and details on where to buy products in major cities—if you need M.A.C in Chicago, Bath & Body Works in Detroit, or Bliss in San Francisco.
