1745 South 19th Avenue, Suite 1, Bozeman, MT 59718; (406) 551-2772

A visit to Canyon River Spa, Bozeman’s only Aveda Lifestyle salon, is truly an immersive full-body experience. Treat yourself to a detoxifying seaweed, rosemary mint or French lavender aromatic body treatment that relaxes and exfoliates, leaving you feeling lighter and brighter.

Remove impurities with the Deluxe Hydrafacial, minimize pores with a Dual Exfoliation Peel, or refresh dull skin with a honey and rose-infused facial. Massages can feature coconut oil, hot stones, reflexology, acupressure, and Ashiatsu—a technique originating in Asia that involves massaging with feet. 

Spa amenities include a eucalyptus steam room, a tea and espresso bar, a quiet room to relax by the fireplace, and Bozeman’s only Vichy Shower, which mimics a tropical rainstorm for a cleansing post-exfoliation and massage experience. 

Ceremony Salon & Spa

515 W. Aspen, Suite 200D, Bozeman, MT 59715; (406) 551-2211

Ceremony is a modern spa and salon that has attracted praise from Montana Bride and Rocky Mountain Bride magazines. The spa experience is designed to balance beauty and self-care, creating space for patrons to enjoy consistent rituals that make them feel and look their best. Its warm, customized experience begins with an intake form that helps your spa specialist tailor treatments to your goals. 

The menu of services is fairly simple including haircare, hair styling, facials, and massages, all supplemented with products made from clean, sustainable ingredients. Ceremony’s facials are designed to cleanse, brighten, and eliminate toxins and acne-causing bacteria and its signature Go2Facials use oxygen exfoliation to gently enhance circulation and promote collagen production.

Its three standard massage options can be enhanced with body oils, hot stones, and dry skin brushing depending on your preferences. 

Hibernate Day Spa

208 N. 11th Street, Bozeman MT, 59718; (406) 404-1345

Hibernate Day Spa invites guests to embrace the spirit of Montana, creating space for you to slow down, relax, and enjoy a cozy cabin aura. One of the best examples of this is the Hike, Heal, and Hibernate body treatment specifically designed to target dry skin and sore muscles from hiking using a cactus toning gel, scalp massage, and citrus grass foot scrub. Other body treatment options can involve aromatherapy, dry brush exfoliation, body mousse, and honey and lavender scrubs, depending on your preference. 

Deepen the benefits of a body treatment with one of Hibernature’s massage offerings. After a conversation with your specialist, the massage is tailored to your needs and can include hot stones and bamboo poles to help soothe muscles. Or target the legs, feet, scalp or shoulders with a specialized massage that focuses on areas that need a little extra attention. 

Book a deep cleansing facial that includes a scalp, shoulder, and foot massage or choose from specialized facials that promote anti-aging or acne healing using vitamin C, extractions, and moisturizing treatments. Each Hibernate Day Spa visit includes access to the sauna and an aromatic foot soak.
