What could be more refreshing on a sweltering summer day than an ice cream sundae or super-cool cocktail? At the newly opened
Park Avenue Salon and Spa in downtown
Hershey, you can have your body slathered in sherbet-scented sugar, your hands and feet soothed in an ice cream “flavored” soak and your tootsies tricked out in ’tini-inspired tints.
Park Avenue’s Ice Cream Body Exfoliation ($80) begins with a Chocolate (left), Strawberry-Kiwi, Neapolitan, Pomegranate or other delicious-smelling sugar scrub enriched with jojoba oil and Vitamin E, topped off with a same-fragrance frosting of shea and cocoa butter lotion. The Ice Cream Manicure ($40) and Pedicure ($60) start off with similar sweet-smelling soaks.
For the nail painting part of your mani/pedi, you get to be your own beauty bartender by concocting cocktails of colors with polishes from Nailtini. You can take your color (think Mai Tai, Kir Royale, Pina Colada) straight up, customize it with Espresso, Cream or Simple Syrup hues and finish with a top coat of the high-gloss Vodka, shimmery Crushed Ice or multi-colored Sugar Rim.
(All of the Ice Cream treatments feature 100% natural paraben-free products from ME! Bath. You may have seen these products on “The Today Show” as well as in such prestigious national publications as “O,” “Cosmopolitan” and “Self” magazines. The Ice Cream Pedicure was named “one of the most luxurious treatments” by “Allure” magazine.)
Park Avenue also creates group “Ice Cream Socials” for bridal showers, birthday parties or anytime girls-night-out fun.
