Beauty & Spas in Bayonet Point

James M. Scholes, the lead staffer at Amache Day Spa and Wellness Center, has trained for more than 1,200 hours in massage and body treatments. His services may enhance athletes’ performance or ameliorate injuries, including knee injuries and eyelash entanglements. Scholes treats aches with a variety of massage modalities—helping to release accumulated muscular tension with deep-tissue massage, and rejuvenating the corpus with relaxing strokes and an application of heat during Swedish massages with hot stones. In addition to massages, Scholes issues body treatments such as a Dead Sea salt exfoliation treatment, which removes defunct cells and leaves bodies smooth and glowing.

Founded in 1998 at 209 North Magnolia Street, Salon 209 moved through three locations—including a former bank, vault and all—before settling into its current storefront. There, owner and master stylist Laura Burgoon and her team revitalize clients' looks among blond wood floors and apple-, rose-, and honey-colored walls. Nail technicians, aestheticians, and a massage therapist comprise the staff, who fight against beauty's arch nemesis—a perpetually foggy mirror—with a full menu of salon services using professional products from brands such as Redken and Pureology.

Along with a license in massage therapy and a certification in personal training, Julie Hollwedel has practiced chiropractic techniques for more than three years. Julie is trained in medical massage, active isolated stretching, deep-tissue work, and structural energetic therapy. Her wide range of expertise allows her to combine different techniques when catering to the needs of each client. She also offers relaxation, therapeutic, prenatal, and hot-stone massage to relax and balance the body. Additionally, she sloughs off dead skin and living dead skin with salt scrubs, nourishes appendages with paraffin treatments, and delights olfactory systems with aromatherapy as supplements to massage sessions.

The stylists at Sands Salon revamp patrons’ manes using bowls of hair dye and gleaming scissors. They also add pops of color to fingernails during manicures and remove unwanted fuzz with warm wax.

For more than 30 years, this family-owned salon has invited clients of all ages to recline in comfortable chairs and catch up on gossip as experts update their 'dos. The team of hairstylists specializes in razor cutting, which creates the rugged texture and shape seen on the heads of celebrities and pennies that went through the washing machine. GoldStar’s stylists also stay abreast of the latest techniques in cutting and taming curly hairstyles, seeking out up-to-the-minute methods to boost volume and add shape while eliminating frizz and limpness. As stylists reshape manes, resident nail artist Jessi Boyd grooms hands and feet before brightening talons with nail art or extra-durable no-chip polish.
