Chalco, NE Beauty and Salons

At Smile Labs, the staff is focused on one thing: whitening teeth. To lift stains and discolorations caused by drinking coffee, sipping colas, and chewing crayons, they fill customized silicone mouth trays with a peroxide-based whitening gel, which is water-based to prevent tooth sensitivity. Once teeth have been coated in the gel, they aim their Millennium SL LED lamp at the teeth to accelerate the whitening process. Each treatment takes about 15 minutes, and clients can double up treatments during a single visit.

The staff at Alternative Tan Spa respects all aspects of individuality, from your personal skin type to your musical tastes. They dole out tips for tanning schedules and products that will suit each client, ever mindful of safety precautions for different dermal needs. Inside the spa rooms, clients can load a favorite CD into the stereo before visiting their chosen booth or bed, basking afterward in the breezes from private cooling systems and primping at available vanity areas.

The spa's tanning equipment ranges from Level 1 Tan America beds to standup spray-tanning booths, which take less than one minute to coat bodies in a coppery sheen that can last up to 10 days. As beds increase in level, their amenities become more advanced: Level 3 Starflight beds feature facial lamps, and Level 4 Cayenne and S-Class beds refresh physiques with built-in misting systems. The open Sunboard bed bronzes skin without enclosing customers beneath a lid, finally enabling them to high-five their own feet when they achieve even coverage.

Nail technicians at Nails R Us adorn digits with artistic designs, add acrylic or solar tips, and swap polish hues. In addition to swaddling adult hands in heated mitts with each manicure, the staff also pampers tots under 10 with children's manicures and pedicures, covering nails with complimentary artwork and a glitter topcoat. Away from the nail stations, massage therapists perform Swedish massages as well as deep-tissue and hot-stone techniques designed to soothe skin that has been damaged after days spent lying at the bottom of a cool lakebed.

Helmed by aesthetician-in-chief Jacklyn, JK Skincare & Spa refreshes exteriors with everything from glycolic peels and body waxes to Shellac manicures and permanent makeup. Under Jacklyn’s guidance, specialists restore epidermal sheen with facials and chemical peels, including diamond-peel microdermabrasion, which fights signs of aging such as wrinkles or mouths still frowning about Prohibition.

As soon as aching muscles come into play, the spa’s massage therapists take over, kneading bodies according to Swedish and deep-tissue modalities. When eye fringe needs spiffing up, the spa’s aestheticians break out Reese Robert lash extensions. JK Skincare & Spa also delves into the holistic realm with ear-candling treatments that draw out wax, dirt, and commercial jingles stuck in inner-ear canals.

After several years spent honing her hair artistry, stylist and color specialist Summer took over a corner of Salon Z Studios and founded Summer 110. When she isn’t cutting hair for women and men of all ages, Summer revitalizes looks with color treatments, organic straighteners, and protein-reconstruction treatments that fortify locks against frizz and feral clippers. Though 100% human-hair extensions and decorative feathers round out her styling services, her menu extends to the face with waxing sessions that remove unwanted hair from the lips, eyebrows, and chin.

Since opening for business in 2010, Summer has gradually converted her stock of professional salon products to entirely organic lines—just one example of how she looks out for her clients’ health and well-being. She also offers and array of complementary beverages and hot-towel treatments with every service.

The technicians at Pro Nails & Spa draw from more than 15 years of experience to groom hands and feet. They shape nails, buff away calluses, and apply long-lasting acrylic nails or Shellac polish. Clients can opt for relaxing spa accents such as hot stone pedicures or for a waxing session.
