Beauty & Spas in Brandon

The staff at SoHo Tan Spa knows there’s no single correct path to getting a glowing tan. To accommodate clients of all skin types and sensibilities, they offer tanning treatments ranging from the classic UV beds to airbrush treatments by trained technicians or the automated jets of a VersaSpa booth. Their three-pronged approach lets clients choose the level of privacy and method best suited to their skin. The VersaSpa spray tanning booths offer three tanning MyMyst shades to accommodate clients who just want a splash of color or those who want to look like they've spent weeks in a close orbit around the sun. Four brands of beds let clients emphasize facial tanning or faster tan times, while spa facials performed in the tanning salon help refresh newly tanned skin.

The glittering chandeliers in Kennedy Salon & Day Spa reflect more than just new 'dos and fresh manicures—they glinted above plumes of smoke in the days when the 1920s bungalow served as a cigar factory and smoking lounge. Original crown molding, handpicked pieces of antique furniture, and cigar posters keep the salon tied to its sepia-toned past, while experienced staff work to keep beauty techniques up-to-date. Today, stylists and aestheticians beautify bods with hand-guided airbrush tanning and makeup to keep customers looking beautiful. Downstairs, continuously trained stylists shear, color, and twist tresses into updos for weddings or tractor pulls, and upstairs, technicians purify pores with wine and mud facials. Manicures and pedicures for men and women buff nails to a natural sheen or daub them with vivid lacquer from OPI, Essie, or Creative, and massages assuage muscle tension with hot stones and aromatherapy oils.

Housed within a medical aesthetic spa, Pretty is as Pretty Does takes a proactive approach to beauty with more than 15 facial treatments that don’t necessarily stop at the face. The spa’s aestheticians scrub the feet, back, neck, and other areas of the body with paraben-free DermaQuest skin-therapy products formulated to exfoliate skin after wrestling in mud or lap swimming in a bog. Aside from their long list of spa and clinical facials, the aestheticians swipe away hair with waxing treatments and soothe muscles with Swedish, deep-tissue, and reflexology massage techniques. To keep their clients in the know, they maintain an FAQ page on their website, along with further information about the benefits of skincare.
