With 11 salons / day spas scattered across the city, it only makes sense that the local company which employs 450-ish hair, makeup, nail, skin care and body treatment experts would open a school to train others in the business. The beauty of Gould's Academy (get it??) is that all those trainees need practice, so you can arrange for anything from a haircut to an up-do to a blow-out to nail services...the list seems endless. Pricing starts at $5 for a beard trim and haircuts start at $12, while nail services start at $12 and facials at $40. Across the hall from the main Academy is the Express Massage, our favorite spot of all.

Germantown Day Spa opened in 2001, and although it's located in the popular Memphis suburb, plenty of Memphis residents make the trek east for the pampering services GDS offers.
