Best of Milwaukee 2019: Services

You can’t be expected to do everything yourself.


Hair Salon & Mani/Pedi

Neroli Salon & Spa

Whether it’s balayage or hair therapy add-ons like a scalpe balancing treatment, Neroli has you covered up top. And for the extremities, Neroli’s manicure and pedicure services can come with a mask tailored to the client’s needs.

Massage

Well Spa + Salon

Well’s seven types of massages – from hot stones to Hammam steam shower to a special prenatal massage – are “about affecting people oneon- one from the outside in,” says salon director Elizabeth Walsh-Zimmermann.

Editor’s Pick

Best New Idea

Helium

Think of this local startup as Uber for library books. You use Helium’s website to choose which books you want, and the service checks them out from a network of local libraries, delivers them to you and even picks them up when you’re done reading – free of charge, for now at least. Founder Ian Buchanan is aiming for a launch early this month.
