Beauty & Spas in Bellflower

Though Salon Xia exists within a century-old cottage, its interior is nowhere near outdated. And that’s because owner Mark Mayner decided to keep the space airy, bright, and clean through the use of stained wooden accents and large, sun-soaked windows. Such contemporary touches wrap around the salon space, where stylists can often be found coloring and highlighting hair with high-end products including Aveda Full Spectrum and Redken Color Fusion dyes. The stylists also reach for Unite haircare products as they create new 'dos that are further informed by ongoing teachings from the Toni and Guy Academy.

Jabez's staff of professional stylists studies at the Bumble and bumble University in New York City to equip themselves with the most artful and effective tress-taming techniques. The shaggy strands of men's manes surrender to unyielding, razor-edged scissors with a men's haircut, which mellows unruly mops or trims rebellious follicles into a well-kept whole. Clients possessing dual x chromosomes indulge in a women's haircut, relaxing in the high-ceilinged, naturally-lit salon while a professional hair sculptor shears, blow-dries, and shapes follicle sprouts into a face-framing curtain of pure glossiness. Both men and women celebrate the reformation of unruly locks with a scalp massage and a tension-relieving head rub to spoil the skull or ease residual soreness from the competitive ear-wiggling semifinals.

With yellow clapboard siding and a covered front porch, the cottage that houses Y'Sharis Spa puts visitors at ease with its homespun charm. This commitment to calm extends beyond the front door: the spa staff incorporates extra pampering touches into virtually every treatment. In addition to cleansing and moisturizing skin during facials, they soothe senses with aromatherapy oils or soothing paraffin dips; mani-pedis add on everything from warm herbal baths to enzyme scrubs. During reflexology treatments and massages, licensed therapists encourage relaxation more directly by correcting energetic imbalances or loosening tightly knotted muscles. For clients seeking a similar treatment experience at home, Y'Sharis Spa sells its own line of cosmetic products made entirely from natural ingredients and clients' relaxed "ahhs."

AcuSpa pampers patrons inside and out with a diverse array of treatments provided within a soothing atmosphere. A comprehensive health analysis (up to a $75 value) uses Chinese and Western medical approaches to determine the client's health needs and suss out ailments such as respiratory problems, gastrointestinal issues, or muscle and joint pain left over from long afternoons spent trying to knock clouds from the sky with baseballs and discuses. The evaluation is required before acupuncture treatments and is a useful aid in proper treatment.

Like bonsai trees, eyebrows require loving attention and skilled care if they're to shade a face with beautiful good fortune. The talented brow artists at Vinita's Beauty and Threading Studio won the 2009 honors of Best Cheap Brow Job from Los Angeles magazine. The cleanly kept salon utilizes safe and sanitary threading practices to quickly shape and exfoliate the brow without using chemical solutions or hot wax. Threading is a gently administered ancient art that lasts longer than other shaping techniques and won't leave you with sore side effects such as bumping and redness. Skilled brow stylists rave that the technique gives them more control than waxing and delivers a more precise look.
