Beauty & Spas in Athens

The Face and Body Place's Robin Poplin liberates faces of daily cosmetic regimens by lavishing eyes, brows, and lips with vibrant and steadfast permanent makeup. The licensed and certified aesthetician calls on 10 years of experience as she carefully and confidently guides an immaculately sanitized probe across the chosen area, imbuing the lower layers of skin with a permanent ink that complements each patient's unique coloring. The makeup, which can not run, smear, or rub off, leaves a natural-looking appearance that can last up to three years before requiring brightening in a refresher session or by napping on a stage actor's pillow. For those with sensitive skin, Robin also offers allergy tests and topical anesthetic before each session.

At Pink Sparkle Spa, young girls can add a dash of glitter to their medley of sugar, spice, and everything nice. These glamorous transformations take place at the spa or clients’ homes—with technicians providing everything from sweet-smelling mani-pedis to fancy makeup and updos. Pink Sparkle Spa also combines these services in an array of packages, with most including balloon bouquets, sweet bags, and a secret decoder ring for deciphering Parent Speak.

Since 1994, the stylists at Techniques Salon have beautified men’s, women’s, and children’s hair with cuts and coloring services, as well as waxing and nailcare. The salon’s tangle-reducing keratin treatments, designed for those with curly hair or a habit of storing half-chewed bubble gum under their pigtails, use four different types of Keratin Complex treatments to tame clients’ locks and create sleek, shiny styles.

Specializing in anti-aging treatments for the face and body, Silhouette Spa’s staff tightens, tones, and lifts skin with nonsurgical facelifts and stretch-mark removal services. The team uses a variety of nonsurgical treatment methods such as microcurrents, LED therapy, and ultrasonic frequencies to reduce cellulite, lift faces, tuck tummies, and crease rigid pairs of khakis. Along with facial and body-contouring treatments, staff members offer spa facials, body wraps, and massage therapy.

Salon La Vie’s stylists—many of whom have trained with professional brands such as Schwarzkopf, Redken, and Dikson—keep up with the latest trends and techniques to provide clients with contemporary looks to fit all lifestyles. Men’s and women’s haircuts, feather extensions, and keratin hair-smoothing treatments are just a few of the studio's specialties, which extend all the way to elegant updos and makeup for special events such as weddings or formal trips to the dry cleaners. A certified massage therapist rounds out the salon’s offerings with 30- to 90-minute massages that draw on Swedish, deep-tissue, and sports modalities.

Studio La Vie at Riverview’s skilled aestheticians pamper clients with rejuvenating salon and spa treatments, applying aromatic mixes to faces, legs, feet, and coiffures. Scented oil slides onto tired legs and feet, engaging the senses with soothing fragrances as skilled hands ease tension from limbs like toothpaste from a box of toothpaste. Stylists' careful fingers guide scissors adroitly over heads, crafting sleek haircuts augmented with highlights and hair color.:m]]
