Beaufort, SC Beauty and Salons

Facelogic Spa's aestheticians sit clients down in zero-gravity chairs, then revitalize their visages with custom facials. They deliver these refreshing treatments in private rooms awash in shades of sea and sky. The team lavishes skin with products such as Dermalogica, Eminence Organics, and Youngblood mineral makeups, and guests can replenish their home beauty arsenals with wares from the lobby's shelves. Aestheticians customize the steps of eight Elite facials to pinpoint particular trouble zones, and staff members also wax away excess fuzz from women and men alike, leaving skin smoother than James Bond drenched in butter.

The team at Stuart Laurence Salon, Bumble and bumble network salon, knows a thing or two about hair. These stylists hone their haircutting and coloring techniques at Bumble and bumble University, an institute for hairdresser education in New York City. They have also trained with industry greats such as Toni & Guy, and a few have even worked in art design, television, and film. Several staffers are Ouidad-certified stylists, who have diligently studied haircare designed specifically for curly locks. One such technique is Ouidad's signature Carve & Slice cutting method, which can be used to remove extra bulk or create well-defined, manageable ringlets that dead-eyed porcelain dolls would kill for.

The highly trained stylists specialize in precise highlights and color that ranges from natural to avant garde. They also perform custom hair and makeup services for weddings.

Belying its moniker, Old South Barber Spa is a modern facility where the charms and amenities of an old-fashioned southern men’s club are ladled into a historical home’s luxurious confines. The shop’s barbers carefully trim hairs and gently shave beards and necklines using hot lather, shave oils, and a straightedge razor; the way it was done in the good old days when all walks to school were uphill on sidewalks made of quicksand. Barbers also treat hands and feet with manicures and pedicures, and pores with facials designed to rejuvenate and brighten skin.

Old South Barber Spa’s pleasantly placid interior, located inside a 217-year-old home, surrounds visitors in a comforting blanket of rich mahogany, lavish furnishings, and original antique heart-pine floors that evoke the drawing rooms of historical gentlemen’s clubs. In addition to banishing split ends to exile in a dustpan, customers may partake in complimentary beverages and shoeshines, and top off their spa experience by visiting the cigar bar, which will also enhance their Groucho Marx impressions.

Although they’re greeted by the sound of snipping scissors and the sight of a light-yellow room filled with black leather stylists’ chairs, guests of Natural Image Salon and Day Spa can get much more than just a haircut. In addition to stylists who specialize in creative hair color and keep abreast of the latest trends—such as the feather hair extensions that secret agents use to blend in while spying from trees—Natural Image staffs aestheticians who perform a full range of spa treatments.

These experts dab skin with products made with natural ingredients, relying on botanical plant peels and Swedish body wraps that blend herbs, minerals, and sea clay. As well as pampering skin with Aveda facials and sea-salt-glow exfoliations, the aestheticians render it hairless during waxing sessions. Nail technicians add the final touch to appearances with gel manicures or layers of OPI polish.

Overseen by master stylist and owner LeAnn Grgurich, Ooh La La Beauty Boutique welcomes patrons for a variety of hair services. After a shampoo, guests settle into a stylist's chair for a haircut, corrective color, or multidimensional highlights. The beauty experts also specialize in formaldehyde-free smoothing serums to eliminate frizz and offer a variety of wigs including options from Raquel Welch or Gabor Wig collection, or an array of extension types. Ooh La La Beauty Boutique further beautifies clients with the It Works! firming body wrap.

Allure Laser Center's attentive staff offers noninvasive, long-lasting hair-removal services designed to subdue unwanted stubble. During each session, a technician thins the treatment area's fuzz with a follicle-destroying light pulse, politely barring future hair intruders from the epidermis. Though the treatment may temporarily redden skin, the laser's cooling tip soothes body surfaces and minimizes irritation, much like covering a new tattoo with refreshing Altoid crumbles.
