Open Up and Say Spa

Ardan Opening

The world of beauty and skin care may seem simple. But, in fact, it’s pretty vast and labyrinthine.

For starts, there are the glossy mags — each reporting the exact same thing about a completely different product every month. (How many “greatest” lipglosses, “foolproof” mascaras, and “only-one-you-need” face serums can there be?)

And things get even more complicated in the medi-spa world. Bio-colo-marine-pepto-oxy what? You practically need Latin fluency or an advanced biochem degree to navigate a treatment menu.

No longer. Husband and wife Elie and Helena Cohen, owners of the brand new Ardan Spa in Wellesley, are taking the sci-fi out of skin care. They bring decades of experience (the equivalent of a doctorate in all things beauty) to their revamped and relaunched state-of-the-art day spa just outside of Boston. They’ll address any of your beauty quandaries with easy-to-comprehend services — from all-organic body treatments and facials by some of the country’s best to normal but expert hair styling.

You may never feel lost again.

Unless, of course, you mean lost in bliss.

Ardan, 72 Central Street, Wellesley (781-235-7788 or ardanspa.com).
