East Village Spa is my go-to in Des Moines, and I can’t recommend them enough. Their team offers massage, facials, nails, and skincare with a focus on truly welcoming and therapeutic care. I especially love their massages, and I highly recommend couples treat themselves to a couples massage the week of their wedding to de-stress before the big day, especially if you did your own planning.

Salon Spa W is a luxury Aveda salon in downtown Des Moines known for its award-winning team and high-end bridal services. Their artists have styled at New York and London Fashion Week, and they bring that same level of expertise to wedding hair and makeup here. From hair and airbrush makeup to facials and full bridal party styling, Salon Spa W is one of the top choices in Iowa for a refined beauty experience. Ask for Katie Jo for hair and Rian for nails!
