Beauty & Spas in Cedar Mill

The Dragontree Holistic Day Spa's collections of at-home treatments have been handpicked by Dr. Peter Borten and Briana Borten to create thoughtful gifts or luxurious personal indulgences. A botanist, author, and instructor armed with a doctoral degree in Chinese medicine, Dr. Borten dispenses a trove of tension relieving remedies, such as the Break that Ache bag, which greets fatigued physiques with a soothing Muscle Melt liniment and a pain-relieving bath treatment made of shredded to-do lists. The Winter Spice Delight collection pacifies seasonally dry skin with a moisturizing honey-milk bath and exfoliating chai sugar scrub, and the Relax by Dragontree package groups nine different stress-dispersing products including Relax soap, whose scent conjures up the exact metaphysical opposite of stress: a sleepy puppy in a bathrobe.

Choose any facial therapy, or add on additional treatments and pay the difference. Bellini's offers countenance cleansers to suit any fatigued face. The Deep Cleanse will sarcastically insult whiteheads until they wither in shame, and the Aromatherapy Anti-Stress facial can smooth and soothe the skin of the most tense of folks, such as one whose 10 fingers are all caught in Chinese finger traps. To water dry patches until they sprout fresh dandelions, opt for the Hydrating facial.

Adorn Body Art’s piercers boast an average of 10 years of experience in providing safe, professional body bedazzlement. All the needle-wielding maestros at Adorn’s sanitarily sound studios are members of the Association of Professional Piercers and are also certified in OSHA Bloodborne Pathogen Prevention & Infection Control. Capable of everything from basic earlobe piercings ($50–$80) to complex Rube Goldberg bodyworks, these masters of derma dressing can perform a vast array of popular puncturing such as navel piercings ($60–$80), nostril piercings ($40–$50), or lip piercings ($40–$50). To ensure that Adorn's welcoming studios remain both stylish and safe, staffers use traditional steam methods to sterilize all instruments, including the autoclaves, which are spore-tested monthly.

The laser hair-enhancement service offered by Oregon's Grand SalonSpa zaps life back into hair thinning due to genetics or stress. Using nonthermal, low-level lasers, the 30-minute treatment saturates scalps with therapeutic red light to help bolster waning cranium-coverings. The treatment is nonsurgical, noninvasive, causes no pain, and allows clients to relax and read during each tress-thickening session. After an initial consultation, customers can partake in two sessions each week during the three-month period, providing ample time to fortify lagging locks before fall fashion shows or Tarzan lookalike contests.

The MVP haircut is reserved for guys who want the brawn of a chiseled cut with the extreme adrenaline rush of a pleasant pampering. Following careful instructions or expert intuition, stylists can clean up the edges without sacrificing any degree of edginess. A thorough shampoo and scalp massage ensures an itch-free walk off, while a neck and shoulder massage with steamed towel leaves cleaned-up batters with the zonal focus to connect on any upcoming office pitch.

Determined to make each client’s visit “feel like a sunlit holiday,” Sunset MedSpa’s friendly staff—led by Dr. Thomas D. Gilberts, an ABIM board-certified internist—aims to make the space a tranquil staycation retreat. Armed with Obagi, Epionce, and Jane Iredale cosmetics, experienced aestheticians give complimentary consultations, help construct daily skincare regimens, and administer custom facials that leave skin glowing bright. Physicians administer all dermal-filler injections, and trained hair-removal techs wield laser systems to remove unwanted sprouts, much like a crime-fighting robot reprogrammed to do the weeding.
