Beatrice, NE Spa and Massage

During Body Nouveaux Spa's 60-minute body wrap, trained practitioners cocoon customers’ corpora in soft, porous bandages that are then soaked in a solution of rich minerals and stardust. Body Nouveaux uses Suddenly Slender body wraps, which allow winsome wearers to perform light exercises such as walking in place, working out on a glider, or caber tossing to increase circulation and enhance tightening results. Successful results can include a firmer body, reduced appearance of cellulite and stretch marks, and a stronger gravitational pull toward swimwear and Earth's binary suns. Body Nouveaux is the only spa located in Lincoln that offers the Suddenly Slender body-wrap system.

Along with graduating at the top of his class at Chadron State College and earning his MD from the University of Nebraska Medical Center, Dr. Justin Misko delved into aesthetic medicine through a specialized training program. At JMisko Surgical Design MD, he now leads a team of registered nurses, a medical aesthetician, and a licensed massage therapist. For skin surfaces, spa services evacuate impurities with body scrubs, UV-free tanning, and facial treatments. A health, wellness and weight-loss sector approaches holistic physical needs with hormone-replacement therapy, cleanses, and nutritional therapy. To round out their medically minded repertoire, the physician supervised staffers can inject B12 to support weight-loss regimes, liquid-lift fillers to obscure wrinkles, or flesh-colored wite-out to redact stray marks from a permanent marker.

Licensed massage-therapist Michelle Findlay evicts aches, pains, and stress from tight backs and muscles at Juniper Massage & Spa. In hot-stone massages, gentle warmth spreads through the body, while cold stones are also available for migraine therapy. At the spa, patrons will also find services such as body polishes, reflexology, and cupping therapy.

Feather boas skirt Spa De Da Skincare's windows, and kiss-mark-shaped wall decals share space with plush sofa chairs. The flirty, pop-art décor showcases coowner and aesthetician Amanda Banghart's ebullient personality but belies her serious beauty chops. A bachelor of biology from Wayne State College augments her aesthetician's understanding of skin chemistry. Amanda complements her formal and experiential education with professional certifications from Image and Bioelements, from which she learned to design effective skincare regimes with their products.

Drawing on this wealth of knowledge, Banghart analyzes each client's complexion to discover the source of and appropriate treatment for blemishes, early signs of aging, or the slow metamorphosis into a young Benjamin Button. Cosmetics for special occasions also inspired her avid scholarship of beauty. Dovetailing nicely with her role as an independent contractor for Chanel makeup, she learned to highlight features with an airbrush and trained her fingers to apply eyelash extensions.

The aestheticians at Eternal Beauty Day Spa tackle wrinkles, blemishes, and other skin troubles during beauty treatments that use both natural ingredients and clinical technology. Facials enlist serums, chocolate-espresso masks, and massages, all of which combine to render skin as luminous as the campfire that ended the Dark Ages. There are two ways to exfoliate the skin, an important process for minimizing the signs of aging: the mechanical scrubbing of microdermabrasion and the reactive solutions of chemical peels. The center also performs full-body waxing and pedicures.

From her post within the stress-free confines of Eve A Salon and Spa, licensed aesthetician and Lincoln-native Lyndsay Stoupa tends to the skincare needs of her dedicated clientele with a menu of spa services headlined by her personal specialty: speedy Brazilian waxing. Though she opened Elle Esthetics in February of 2012 at the ripe age of 21, Lyndsay works with the assured confidence of an industry veteran. Along with full-body waxing treatments that leave skin as smooth as a freshly lotioned basketball court, Lyndsay and her team rejuvenate complexions with custom facials and chemical peels that target acne, age spots, and other blemishes with professional products from Dermalogica and natural lotions from Hempz. Aromatherapy body wraps treat the senses to a fragrant exfoliation, and gentle candling treatments remove wax and incessantly ringing headphones from the ear canal.
