Blu Salon & Spa

Blu Salon & Spa sits on Williams Street in Pittsfield, in the Berkshires, and operates as a full-service salon and day spa under one roof. Services span hair, nails and waxing on the salon side, with massages, facials and a private infra-red sauna rounding out the spa menu.

There's no walk-in day-pass option here; everything runs by appointment, with the salon asking for 24 hours' notice to cancel or reschedule without a fee. A credit card is required to hold reservations, and for multi-service bookings the salon may place a hold on the card. Appointments get confirmed 48 hours ahead by text, email or phone.

Hours run six days a week: shorter Tuesday and Friday shifts (9am–5pm and 9am–6pm respectively), later closes Wednesday and Thursday (9am–8pm), and a Saturday morning-to-early-afternoon slot (9am–3pm). The salon is closed Sundays and Mondays. Services are offered in English.

At a luxury price tier, this is a spot for someone who wants a private sauna session paired with a facial or massage, or who's combining a hair and nail appointment with a spa treatment in one visit, rather than a drop-in bathhouse or communal soaking experience.
