Cover Story: Beauty on a Budget
Posted 2009-04-02 13:31:44 by BY THE IN STAFF

Sure, the other guys may promise "$1 down" to start, but they can't beat the $10-a-month gym membership from Planet Fitness (324 S. State St. in Salt Lake City; 801-521-9400; www.planetfitness.com). I must tell you that I'm a member, and there truly are no hidden fees -- the basic package is honestly just $10 a month (plus tax). Plus, the updated gym sits right in the heart of downtown, and offers all the amenities (tanning, cardio, weight training) of more expensive gyms (short of a pool and spa), with the welcome bonus of free personal training. (AC)

Even though UV rays are a big no-no for your skin's health, we have a hard time saying no to Hollywood Tan's (283 E. 3300 South in Salt Lake City; 801-463-9800; www.myspace.com/hollywoodtanslc) $3 Thursdays. Yep, just three bucks to "tan your can" in a wolff or platinum bed. If you're more of a spray-tanning kind of cat, Hollywood Tan offers packages starting at $26. (AC)

Sign up at Got Beauty (904 E. 2100 South in Salt Lake City, UT in Salt Lake City; 801-474-2090) to get on their e-mail list, which makes you privy to the salon and boutique's monthly specials. Last month, Got Beauty gave people on their mailing list a 20 percent off coupon, and an invite to their $9 shoe and clothing sale. This month? Check this out: A free haircut with any color service, as advertised in IN. (AC)

Stressed and strained but drained of funds? Get a budget-friendly massage from the students at Utah College of Massage Therapy (25 S. 300 East in Salt Lake City; 1-800-617-3302). Offered from 8 a.m. - 5:30 p.m. on Saturdays and Sundays, these hour-long massages are only $25 each. (AC)

For $12, you get a 40-minute manicure that includes a hand/arm massage, nail treatment and hand masque from Skinworks School of Advanced Skincare (2121 S. 230 East in Salt Lake City; 801-530-0001). But that's not all, they also offer $10 eyelash tinting, $12 eyebrow tint- and shaping, and $35 hot-stone facials. (AC)

It's like happy hour for hair: Shear Ecstasy (981 E. 3300 South in Salt Lake City; 801-485-4247) offers cuts for $10 every Tuesday. (AC)

At Paul Mitchell The School, you can get a haircut from a Phase I student for $8, or a Phase II student for $12. (1969 E. Murray Holladay Road, 801-266-4693, www.paulmitchelltheschool.com). (KA)

While your average manicure in a salon tends to run about $20, Sky Nails offers them for only $12. (719 E. 2100 South, 801-466-3677). (KA)

Every Tuesday, Whole Foods Market (visit www.wholefoodsmarket.com for locations) takes 15 percent off their entire selection of Health & Nutrition selection. While you are getting your multi-vitamins pick up your copy of "The Whole Deal," an guide to specials. My favorite section is the "Three Under $3." (AS)

Try out a yoga class for free at Kula Yoga Studio (823 E. 400 South, 2nd Floor; www.kulastudio.com). Every Saturday at 9:30 a.m. and Monday at 6 p.m., they offer a free class for locals -- but only the first class. (AS)

The Yoga Center (4689 S. Holladay Blvd.; 801-277-9166; www.yogautah.com) is offering Frugal Yoga to help your stretch your body and stretch your dollar. Enjoy one hour of yoga for $4 on Tuesdays at 4 p.m. Or try the Pilates Hour every Tuesday at noon -- all classes are free in April. (AS)

Shirodhara Day Spa (2122 E. Ft. Union Blvd. (7000 South), 801-943-3840; www.shirodharadayspa.com) has a coupon page on their Web site. Currently you can get a massage and relaxing cellulite treatment for $119 or get 10 percent off spa parties, haircuts, color or hair extensions. (AS)
