Anchorage Beauty and Salons

The staff at Sun Solution may ask you to remove your shoes when you enter the shop, but it’s not because they’re concerned about dirt. Instead, they want you to feel the soothing heat that rises from the heated tile floors that cover the entryway. These staffers are experts at using gentle heat and light to their clients’ advantage, relying on Smart Tan certifications to chart the best tanning plan for their skin type and color goals. They then select options from a fleet of equipment that includes lay-down, standup, and upside-down tanning booths, as well as a Versa Spa spray-tanning machine, which administers a full-body spray tan in 46 seconds. Clients looking to ensure a deeper, more even tan can opt to start by hopping in the studio's hydration station, where a 20- to 30-minute session can help promote better absorption of nutrients and products, and also help skin adopt a softer, firmer appearance.

From her private treatment room within Bella Day Spa, trained Novalash eyelash extensionist and aesthetician Mandie boosts and reduces all manner of bodily fringe. Mandie enhances lashes with lash perms, coupled with a darkening tint, resulting in buoyant, curly lashes that retain a dramatic look. Meanwhile, the specialist's waxing services use veteran techniques to help minimize pain as warm wax eradicates every unwanted bristle from both male and female physiques. Once clients are finished, they can saunter back into Bella Day Spa’s contemporary beauty haven, where shelves of Pureology and Dermalogica products make catcalls at hairdos.

BE Salon Studio's chief stylist Branden Elde unleashes her ever-evolving beauty toolkit on everyday clients and brides-to-be, exclusively wielding Paul Mitchell products and mineral makeup. Clients can enjoy the plasma fireplace and complimentary tea and coffee while waiting for their hair to be done in this refurbished warehouse modeled after spaces Branden experienced in Seattle. At wedding venues, she sculpts, pins, and sprays 'dos before dusting makeup on cheeks to keep brides blushing and cover up cat whiskers from pre-ceremony face-painting sessions. Branden and her staff are constantly undergoing training, allowing them to style locks with precision cuts, accentuate hues with color services, or flesh out manes with Ultratress extensions.

Modify Salon and Spa’s fleet of stylists transform manes into shining beacons of style or prim exemplars of neatness. Haircuts in the latest trends can include deep-conditioning treatments or vibrant hue changes. Clients can obtain locks as long as Rapunzel or Chewbacca in his experimental period by way of hair extensions. Eyelash extensions can also complement that aesthetic. Further above-the-neck pampering includes makeup applications and facial-waxing services.

At Prescriptive Facial Aesthetics, a slate of clinical skincare treatments forms an umbrella of care over problematic complexions. A family nurse practitioner or licensed aesthetician incorporates glycolic, lactic, and salicylic acids into custom blends for chemical peels, which join diamond-tip microdermabrasion treatments to draw out rosy color, diminish blemishes, and soften fine facial lines that attempt to resemble their bearer's spirit animal. Obagi and PCA products add nourishing ingredients to the skincare treatments, and Juvéderm and Botox injections leave faces smooth and youthful.

Jessica Pannone first started beautifying faces at age 14. Today, as a licensed aesthetician, she runs a fetching spa and brandishes PCA Skin treatments and products against armies of acne, wrinkles, and dry skin. She prefers PCA Skin because it abstains from synthetic colors, fragrances, and animal testing and develops its finished products with the help of solid medical case studies. When she isn't smoothing epidermises with chemical peels and facials, she uses warm wax to extract unwanted hair and reshape eyebrows that have taken to impersonating Salvador Dalí's mustache.
