At Rethink the Ink, certified laser specialists help clients forget about deep-set skin stains by breaking down unwanted ink with highly concentrated pulses of pure light. Prior to taking on the task of removing body graffiti, each technician receives thorough training from Lorenzo Kunze, M.E., who was a pioneer in the advancement of aesthetic and medical laser treatments. During each 10-minute treatment the team collaborates with an advanced Quanta DNA laser system, which features a large spot size to treat multiple ink colors at once. The treatment—the feeling of which is often likened to being snapped by a rubber band—also maximizes comfort by applying chilled air to the skin courtesy of a Zimmer Cryo 6 cooling system. The body's natural immune function gradually removes broken-down ink after each treatment, eventually leaving skin free of scars and out-of-date shopping lists.

Whether it's a manicure in advance of a big date or a pedicure that caps off a "me day" at the spa, Gina has seen it all. With more 25 years of experience as a nail technician, three years as an OPI educator, and a stint as the owner of her own successful salon, she beautifies fingers and toes with treatments ranging from traditional mani-pedis to treatments involving acrylic add-ons and shellac polish.

When it comes to a good manicure, experience counts. That’s why all polished tips point to Elite Nails owner Elisa Garcia, who has spent the last 19 years perfecting her nail-polishing technique. Beyond basic polish changes and mani-pedis for both men and women, she specializes in acrylic enhancements, which come natural, French tipped, capped in colorful glitter, or rolled in fresh powdered sugar. To prevent lifting, she uses acrylic products from Creative Nail Design, which also guard against yellowing to keep nails looking new for longer.

Smooth Skin Centers' staff rejuvenates skin with a variety of youth-inducing services. Technicians harness the therapeutic light waves of FDA-approved lasers to remove bodily hair and spider veins and smooth the skin of all skin types. Nurse-practitioners, meanwhile, reduce facial wrinkles with quick injections of Botox or fill out slackened skin or deflating bounce houses with Juvederm.

When the staff at Expert Waxer named their business, they didn’t do it to brag. They did it to acknowledge their specialty in the most complicated of all waxing treatments—the Brazilian. The deft technicians can swiftly depilate both male and female clients below the waist, using techniques that lessen pain while maintaining the highest level of hygienic practices. Outside of their signature service, the waxers also can rid clients of hair from both body and face to leave skin smooth and stubble-free. The salon’s estheticians also turn their hand to the face, offering hand-applied lash extensions and peels and microresurfacing treatments that remove signs of fine lines and acne scars.

The team at Colorado Hair Institute works to help patients reclaim full, lush heads of hair through a variety of procedures, both surgical and nonsurgical. In addition to detailed grafts performed with the aid of dissecting microscopes, the institute also offers laser hair therapy, which helps to spur the growth of hair through use of a laser comb.

Outside of scalp-related activities, the staff deploys a noninvasive Zerona low-level laser technology to assist its patrons in the quest to shed inches from abs, thighs, love handles, and tails.
