El Coco Aveda Salon

On the menu of facial offerings at EL COCO AVEDA SALON is something called the “Elemental Nature Facial,” a 30-, 60-, or 90-minute process in which they examine your skin’s “elemental nature condition,” and create a customized facial (or, if you’re extra-daring — and have deep pockets — a head-to-toe skin treatment), which will rid your skin of any demon that plagues it. Dryness, sensitivity, oiliness — no foe is too great for their calculated combination of massage, made-to-order skin products, and pressure-point “drainage.” If all of this sounds a bit out there, and maybe a little not-fun (drainage?), trust in the Phoenix readers who picked this as their favorite. Plus, it’s provided by the mostly organic, nature-favoring Aveda Corporation, so you can’t really go wrong.
