The chain :10 Minute Manicure has provided miniature nail services in multiple airports across North America for the past several years. However, it appears that more spa-based treatments may soon be ready and waiting to soothe travelers frazzled by delayed flights and packed security lines. Portland, Oregon-based The DragonTree Holistic Day Spa was recently chosen from among various area applicants to open a satellite space inside Portland International Airport.

The new spa locale won’t skimp on The DragonTree’s customary service levels for the sake of space—private treatment rooms will enable travelers to receive massage, facial and waxing services. Meanwhile, a common space will permit clients to receive foot treatments and targeted massage in a relaxing environment. Manicures and pedicures will be added to the menu at some point after the spa’s initial opening.

The products used in both services and on the retail shelves will emphasize bolstering the immune system through vitamins, herbs and other organic means. This may prove helpful airborne illnesses can particularly affect stressed travelers in enclosed spaces.
