Beauty & Spas in Arlington

Nailing a job interview, taking a spiritual retreat, and heading out for a night with friends—these disparate activities all work to boost one’s Oola. Fun to say and satisfying to achieve, you attain Oola when several core factors of your life are thriving. Oola might mean that you’re feeling good about your fitness level, finances, career, faith, or relationship with your family, friends, and ant-farm residents. The folks at Oola hope to boost Oola levels nationwide by helping their clients map out their life’s goals and how they will go about achieving them. The service also boosts Oola quotients by introducing their members to cool businesses and offering discounts on services including massages, fitness, and mani-pedis.

Gilded mirrors and ornate cabinets directly face the stylists as they spritz over newly crafted hairdos. Beyond custom cuts and colors, they can improve strand manageability with keratin smoothing treatments and accent tresses with feather extensions. Staffers also aim below the permanent top hat with golden airbrush tans or shellac and traditional nail polishes.

Committed to offering nail services in a sanitary and piranha-free environment, the spa’s six highly trained nail technicians focus on providing high-quality treatments while using clean and well-maintained equipment. In addition to basic mani-pedi treatments, the staff administers additional services such as long-lasting Shellac manicures and pedicures. For added pampering, guests can enjoy glasses of wine and treatments such as relaxing hot-stone foot massages.

Joyce's Hair Salon has been making over clients since 1988. Master stylist Joyce E. Blount and her staff continue to transform hair into the perfect look with services such as cuts, hair extensions, highlights, and deep-conditioning treatments. They also cut children's hair.

The Den’s licensed massage therapists use their adroit digits to loosen muscles made rigid from stress, strain, or a century-long stint in a cryogenic freezer. Each one-hour Swedish massage is tailored to repair specific physical afflictions and induces a state of deep mental relaxation with deliberate synchronized strokes and occasional outbursts of "Bork." Lying supine amid comfortable accommodations, men, women, and snowmen let their accumulation of anxiety melt away until only serene carrot noses, charcoal smiles, and discomfort-free twig appendages are left behind. Massage's benefits on each patient's health include streamlined circulation, mass production of endorphins, and a more positive self-image.

Clients at Southern Rays take control of their skin shades by using customizable UV- and sunless-tanning systems. Beds and booths come in six levels of UV intensity (up to a $25 value/session) so that clients can gradually prepare for the day when humans migrate to the sun. The Mystic Tan HD system (a $30 value/session) applies spritzings of UV-free tanning solution in the privacy of an individual chamber, and airbrush tanning paints pelts in each client’s most suitable shade. Southern Rays’ knowledgeable staff is always on hand to answer questions, provide tanning tips, and console useless sunbeams.
