A Self-Care Day in Ann Arbor, MI
Updated September 24, 2026
This is a day built around three appointments and a lot of walking between them. Book the middle one first.
## Start with movement [Ann Arbor School of Yoga](/places/ann-arbor-school-of-yoga) at 420 W Huron St is the closest studio to downtown. [The Pilates Barn](/places/the-pilates-barn) is in the Godfrey Building at Kerrytown, 410 N 4th Ave, which puts you a block from the [Ann Arbor Farmers Market](/places/ann-arbor-farmers-market) at 315 Detroit St for afterwards.
## Coffee, not brunch [TeaHaus](/places/teahaus) at 204 N 4th Ave and [Comet Coffee](/places/comet-coffee) at 16 Nickels Arcade are the two quietest stops between appointments. [1824 Cocktails & Coffee](/places/1824-cocktails-coffee) at 413 E Huron St Ste C is the one that carries you into the evening.
## Spa [Beach Haven](/places/beach-haven) at 625 E Liberty St Lower Level Suite 20 is the downtown option, on the same block as [Michigan Theater](/places/michigan-theater) at 603 E Liberty St. [Jessica's Apothecary & Spa](/places/jessica-s-apothecary-spa) at 920 N Main St is just north of Kerrytown, and [Spavia Day Spa - Ann Arbor](/places/spavia-day-spa-ann-arbor) at 3070 Washtenaw Ave Ste 101 is the east-side choice with easier parking.
## Nails or hair [Moonlit Manis](/places/moonlit-manis) at 206 S Main St Ste 225 is directly on Main Street. [One Eleven Salon](/places/one-eleven-salon) at 113 E Ann St and [Sparrow Salon](/places/sparrow-salon) at 322 S Ashley St are both a few minutes from there, which makes stacking two appointments realistic.
## Close it out [Spencer](/places/spencer) at 113 E Liberty St is the low-key dinner within walking distance of everything above, and [The Last Word](/places/the-last-word) at 301 W Huron St is the quiet drink afterwards.
