When ragged cuticles and knotty shoulders cry for attention — and your schedule leaves no time to luxuriate in a spa — try a mini treatment.
For stress relief in less than 30 minutes, book the Refresher Massage, $50, at Bergamos Spa Retreat (713-529-2444). It’s 25 minutes of intensive Swedish massage, catering to aching shoulders, neck, and back.
If travel has taken its toll above the neck, brighten up in half an hour with a personalized medical express facial, $75, at Persona Medical Spa (713-630-0772) or a Pareti micro-mini restorative facial, $70, at Sanctuary Spa d’Sante (713-622-7722).
Have even less time? The Instant Radiance facial at Bliss Nail Spa (713-864-8787) is made “for those on the go.” It’s 20 minutes of cleanse, buff, and glow for $35. Or go for the waterless Fresh ’n’ Go Mani (even the name is shorter!), $20, which takes half the time of a traditional manicure with soaking.
Look tan-fast-ic without logging time in the sun’s harmful rays. All it takes is a few minutes spas of “hueing” at Throwing Copper (713-859-1085), an intimate treehouse-like salon devoted to organic spray-tanning that looks incredibly natural — and smells better than traditional sunless tanners. One full-body application is $55.
Walk away with enviable eyebrows in minutes at Just Brows (713-868-6234), where it’s $35 for shaping and $10 for tinting.
Pull off an entire evening-out look within an hour at Solution for Hair + Makeup (713-526-4545), which has an on-the-town special trio of blow dry, style, and makeup for $100.
For hotel-room service, Andrea Schutter of Fabulous and Flawless Hair & Makeup (832-816-1000) and Blush and Glow (832-545-1650) make house calls for airbrush makeup and hairstyling.
Need a mini escape? Book a 60-minute session at Float Houston (832-661-7009), where guests are treated to total tranquility inside an Epsom-saltinfused tank that helps weary bodies to disconnect from the daily grind.

Through floatation experiences, guests can replenish mental and emotional reserves from within a tranquil, Epsom-salt-infused tank. Each floatation tank drastically reduces outside environmental stimulation — gravity, temperature, touch, sight, and sound. The effects of the tank significantly reduces tension on the muscles, nervous system, sense organs, and brain, allowing the body and mind to enter deep levels of relaxation in a short amount of time.
