Bellanina Day Spa

Bellanina Day Spa has been a Kerrytown fixture since 1999, owned by Kathryn Myers, a University of Michigan graduate and former Borders executive who’s steered the spa to more than 45,000 clients served and a long run of “Best Day Spa” wins from local readers’ polls throughout the 2010s. The space is feng shui-designed, with a private Crystal Suite reserved for couples or small parties, individual steam showers, a side-by-side manicure and pedicure setup, and a dedicated Quiet Zone and Zen Garden for between-service downtime.

The signature Bellanina Facelift Massage — a specialized facial massage technique aimed at lifting and toning with regular use — is the house specialty, alongside the standard menu of massage, facials, organic spray tans, and nail services. The spa recently relocated within Kerrytown but kept its identity intact, along with its own line of Bellanina and Epicuren skincare products sold in the attached gift boutique.

On our radar for Kerrytown regulars who want an award-winning local original, or for a couples visit that actually gets a private suite instead of adjacent chairs.
