Beauty & Spas in Arnold

At Starla's Salon & Spa, more than 20 beauty professionals dedicate their talents toward enhancing natural beauty. They each possess a rich backlog of experience. Owner Starla Zarbo, a stylist with more than 20 years of experience, sets the example by continually enrolling in educational seminars. Aesthetician Judy Kohlberg has accumulated more than 1,000 hours of additional training in London, and integrates technology into various treatments, using a mechanical wand to resurface skin and a cold-light laser to diminish signs of aging such as crow's feet and eagle talons. These women join other specialists who work in a sunlit salon with black, red, and white walls.

An autumnal color palette warms the expansive interior of IV Seasons Tanning & Hair Studio, where stylists snip strands at stations in the glow of bright vanity lighting. Employing an arsenal of Redken and other top-shelf hair products, they trim, color, and style locks based on a thorough consultation with the client and every one of their head snakes. Meanwhile, technicians tucked away in private suites remove unwanted hair with warm wax and bronze bodies with airbrush tans.

Glamm Studio & Spa's staff bolsters their salon bona fides by participating in ongoing training to stay abreast of hairstyling trends. They beautify clients with hair and spa services for men and women. Along with facials, waxing, and nailcare services, they also pierce ears—the best way to get a hole in your ear without making your ear the plot of Bio-Dome. The salon has been at it since 1982, and it animates a dedication to the community by contributing to several causes, including Hats Off 4 Cancer and the St. Baldrick's Foundation.

Haircuts don't have to be a bore. At The Guys Hair Shop, clients can manhandle a TV remote while watching modern sports games or Jeopardy! lightning rounds. The stylists in the shop pamper dudes without resorting to unnecessary froufrou, instead reaching for straightforward, stainless-steel shears and steamed towels. Though they generally focus on haircuts for men of all ages, the staff also enacts a few other grooming services, including hair coloring and beard trimming. They use high-end products from brands such as Crew, Tea Tree by Paul Mitchell, and Nioxin, which envelop the skin in warm embraces that are more pleasant than hugging a fireplace. Within the salon, gleaming wood floors span the salon’s sparkling surroundings, which host vivid signage, plush red furnishings, and a vintage Coke machine.:m]]
