Beauty & Spas in Benbrook

From her base inside Legacy Salons & Day Spa, experienced cosmetologist Candice Harmon approaches beauty from every angle with treatments that primp hair, nails, and skin. Her work at Hair by Candi centers primarily around custom hairstyles, and she draws on her expertise in organic color to paint highlights on men and women, sew in feather extensions, or flatten out curls with formaldehyde-free Chi Enviro keratin treatments, banishing frizz back to its rightful place on the Cowardly Lion's stunt mane. Her tranquil salon space also hosts aromatherapy pedicures and waxing treatments for brows, chins, and lips.

Every day clients stream into Barbara's on Main Salon with tired-looking, unkempt hair, and others stream out sporting straight locks, creative braids, and stylish Texas teases. These new hairdos come courtesy of Barbara's staff of stylists, each of whom takes classes to stay abreast of the latest cutting techniques, styles, and jokes about the ends of hair strands amicably divorcing. From haircuts to the Ultimate Treatment—a three-step deep conditioner that contains the customer's choice of moisture, strength, and volume additives—the salon treats hair to numerous beautification services.

Upon first meeting licensed massage therapist Charles Hannington, one can be forgiven for not taking note of his smooth and dexterous hands. His bright smile draws the eyes upward and reflects his uncommon enthusiasm for life—much of which he derives from meeting new people and sharing his skills with them. Charles uses massage techniques to achieve his goal of bringing others closer not only to physical health but also to a profound acknowledgement of their own humanity.

At Charles’s eponymous Hannington Massage, 16 distinct modalities assist him in achieving this admittedly ambitious goal. From the firm and focused pressures of deep-tissue massage to the high-speed knuckleballs thrown at backs during sports massages, he finds unique ways to communicate the benefits of massage to diverse clientele. When his own nimble fingers are not enough, Charles enhances the efficacy of their treatments with heated pebbles, soothing aromatherapy, and hot towels. He prides himself on customizing treatments to each client’s individual needs and even dispatches outcall services to those who prefer the serene ambiance of their own Batcaves.

CMG Med Spa takes an intimate approach to medical-grade aesthetic services by operating out of a studio rather than a large spa or doctor’s office. Inside the studio, various lasers work to reduce the appearance of spider veins, remove unwanted hair, liquefy fat cells, and thwart the diabolical plans of James Bond's greatest enemy—aging. FDA-approved prescription services, including injectable treatments and lash-growing serums, also enhance natural beauty by warding off wrinkles and building lush defensive lines along the eyelids.

Under the direction of Dr. Taylor, the certified laser specialists at Vanish Laser Tattoo Removal help patients return their skin to ink-free states. Using Astanza Trinity laser technology, they disassemble ink particles that make up tattoos or birthmarks that spell out "Charlie Forever" so that the body can naturally absorb the unwanted pigment. The treatments are effective on black and color inks, although certain hues, such as yellow or white, require more sessions to remove. The specialists also aim their laser beam at age spots or other naturally occurring skin discolorations to leave complexions clearer.

Licensed skin care specialist Sherry Vitek keeps clients beautiful with personalized services for the face and body. Sherry helps hide evidence of aging with microdermabrasion treatments designed to boost collagen levels, making faces more plump and less prone to wrinkling, and glycolic peels that further exfoliate for a more youthful glow. Oxygen, anti-pigment, and intensive cleaning facials cover a spectrum of additional dermal concerns. Waxing treatments deftly banish unwanted hair, and lash extensions draw attention to the eyes in case you need to blink a message in Morse code.
