This week, we've thought about dedicating this space to women. It’s a scientific fact that the world would stop spinning and fall out of orbit without their steady presence in all our lives. There’s never too many ways to say thank you, so this week’s Patch Picks are meant to help the women we all know and love kick back and relax. What better way to do that than a trip to the salon, or better yet a spa day?
