At Citrus Salon Spa in Mt Laurel, I was greeted in a bright waiting area by a smiling Danna Rhodes, who led me to a massage chair, placing my feet in warm surging water fragrant with the aroma of citrus.

I flipped the chair’s features on, every one of them: vibration, heat and deep probing massage. What a life.

Soon Rhodes returned to buff my tootsies, which by now were feeling divine. In fact, my whole body was as relaxed as an overcooked noodle. She continued working her magic on my feet, turning winter-rough skin into softness, massaging them with pomegranate and fig-infused cream. The many fragrances were surely meant to be aromatherapy.

It worked. The pedicure would cure most ills, at least those related to stress.

Soon I selected a bright red for my “little piggy” toenails, leaving Citrus Salon with them sparkling, my feet summer ready. Now bring on the sandals and a beach.

Citrus Salon Spa is fresh and airy, with a wide upholstered window seat lined with plump pillows in tropical fruit colors, inviting guests to linger on its sunny locale. Citrus offers service with a smile, great comfort, a relaxing and fragrant experience you’ll long remember.
