Brentwood Estates, TN Beauty and Salons

There is no follicle too wispy or fuzz too peachy to avoid Rochelle Pappas, Brooke Sweet, and their professional waxen maidens at Wax Nashville. As they like to chant in unnervingly deep Latin during their pre-day huddle: if it has hair, it can be made bare. A sleek visage is easily acquired with a brow wax, cover, and fill ($35), or lip and chin wax ($12 each). Remove cumbersome hair weight in time for the Tour de France with a full leg wax ($70), underarms wax ($25), or full arm wax ($50). Or prepare for a toasty poolside afternoon with a bikini wax ($40) or Brazilian wax ($75). Dudes, meanwhile, can de-scraggle their back, neck, or shoulders ($65), streamline their chest ($50), or find out how the other half lives with a BROzilian ($125). Wax's careful and pleasant skin-slickers will target each area's overgrowth and diligently weed it out in a calm, serene environment that puts the mind at ease. This relaxed mind translates into a relaxed body right down to the tips of each follicle—loosening hair's viselike grip on the skin and making it easier and less painful to pluck out.

Clad in clean, white lab coats, the licensed aestheticians at Skin Renew Laser & Vein Clinic use lasers to target tufts of body hair, spider veins, and wrinkles. Dermal fillers firm the face, and blue-light photodynamic therapy destroys the bacteria that exacerbate acne. Medical aestheticians and nurses also proffer pharmaceutical-grade skincare products from Obagi to maintain healthy skin at home or on planets where the atmosphere is too thin to dampen the sun's rays.

Brentwood Salon & Day Spa pampers skin and nails in its clean, plush, purple-hued storefront. Spark a glow in your face that will stun friends and mail carriers with a classic facial. Even if you follow a rigorous skincare routine, you likely lack the tools necessary to really probe into your pores and de-clog them from all the makeup, dirt, and die-cast toy cars trapped inside. The friendly veteran employees at Brentwood Salon & Day Spa come in like foamy, sweet-smelling fighter jets. Beginning with a skincare analysis and professional recommendations, they lock their sights on deep pores, cleansing and moisturizing to knock out imperfections.

The Ritz Salon's stylists cut and trim the locks of men and women, often using balayage, a French hair-painting technique, to tint strands. Aestheticians completely remove hair during facial waxes and slough off dead skin with microdermabrasion crystals. They further rid your body of unwanted entities with ionic footbaths that detoxify and reduce the need for family members to wear hazmat suits around you.

Although he had already been a successful stylist for years when it took place, the thing that solidified John Nelson as a top-notch professional was a training stint he spent in Rome, Italy, where he absorbed European techniques that he brought back to his own salon in the United States. Now guests of John Nelson Salon and Spa enjoy the benefit of these and other techniques—such as Global Keratin treatments and color services—within a workspace where lime-green accents punctuate slate-gray walls and floors. Chocolaty hues coat the spa area, where licensed technicians unpack pores with Alleia skincare products and drive away cellulite with herbal detoxifiers and repurposed breakup speeches.

Bearing extensive training and certification from Lavish Lashes, Ooh La Lashes’ Candis expertly applies each synthetic lash to eyelids for plump, full lash lines that last for up to four weeks. Using the same gentle bonding agent that doctors use to suture wounds, Candis adds subtle length to natural lashes or creates flirtatious winks powerful enough to alter the jet stream of a paper plane's flight path. Partial sets add a hint of length to eyes for a glamorous cat-eye look, and one- to two-week touchups fill in lashes that have naturally shed since the full application.
