• Book ahead when you can. Many providers, especially nails, lashes, and massage and several salons may only book by appointment, and weekends can fill up fast.
• If you’re traveling with kids, barbershops and family salons are often the quickest path. You may aim for earlier in the day to avoid waiting, or call to set the appointment.
• For road crews and long-shift guests, consider scheduling massage on an off-day or early evening, especially during busy seasons. For feeling good, heading out refreshed and in great shape.
• If you’re here for a wedding, photos, or a big event, you can choose a salon that lists styling and add-ons (waxing/lashes/nails) so you can coordinate everything on one timeline, if you need and prefer. 

A quick note from The Jeffreys Hotel

Osceola is the kind of town where people build relationships with their barbers, stylists, and therapists. If you’re staying with us for a while, that’s a real advantage: you can find “your” place, get exactly what your need and want and set a routine that works for you while staying with us or just visiting, out "on the road."

If you discover a favorite spot while you’re here, tell ours. Our goal is to keep this local guide as current as possible, and updated for current and future valued guests.

Just getting packed and ready to travel or thinking about an extended stay? Read our post on "packing right," for a stay. In addition to pro housekeeping and pro laundry services available at the hotel, we have also come up a brief list of local options for laundromats in the area, and ideas for setting up your room and taking advantage of spacious quarters for storage.

We are more than just an extended stay hotel. We help make transitions easier, providing information and pointing to where additional resources may be helpful when guests are in for a longer stay away from "home," or looking to get settled in to "real living, affordably," fast.
