Many people work hard to earn recognition for having a PhD. For more than 15 years, P.H.D. Salon & Spa has worked hard to help clients get recognition for having a beautiful appearance. Stylists trim, color, and perm hair or add Mega Hair human-hair extensions. The salon and spa also whitens teeth, spray tans bodies, and removes evidence of wrestling on a freshly tarred road from skin. Clients who prefer one-stop beautifying stops will enjoy a selection of packages that pamper heads, hands, and feet with a variety of services, including facials, massages, or waxing treatments.

After spending two decades perfecting her ability to cultivate physical beauty and well-being, Nancy Reagan opened Bella Reina Spa to share her wealth of knowledge with a growing number of beneficiaries. An experienced aesthetician, makeup artist, nail professional, and nutrition expert, she has yet to find a specialty she cannot master, and her all-around savvy may explain the bourgeoning popularity of her boutique, spa, and retail shop.

Visitors to the spa pass through a glistening entryway lit by the reflective crystals of square chandeliers hanging above. Beyond the entrance’s high-gloss black floors and velvet-flecked wallpaper, Nancy and her team of professional aestheticians moisturize skin with facials and brush cheeks with an array of cosmetics. Her relaxing massages nullify aches accrued from day-to-day stresses or collisions with the spa’s elegant and smudge-free floor-to-ceiling mirrors.

On the salon floor, stylists add dimension to locks with highlights backed by haircare products from Davines and Bumble and bumble. Massages come in seven editions, from an aromatherapy version that includes fragrant essential oils to a hot-stone variety that both melts the tension in clients' backs and warms the pies in their overalls.
