Beauty & Spas in Chambersburg

FX Studios, a luxurious salon, spa, and fitness facility for men and women, makes visits as comfortable as they are memorable with private salon studios and movie screens showing the latest flicks. After a consultation and a five-minute shampoo and scalp massage, one of FX’s expert stylists will perform an arsenal of follicular special effects on your cranial dome—clipping strands until they take on a chic new shape and draping your face with a hot towel to make skin softer than a baby's kneepit. During a massage, diligent digits untie muscle knots with the skill of sailor for a full hour. Therapists blend Swedish-, myofacial-, and deep-muscle-massage techniques to create a customized unloosening. Call ahead to make an appointment.

Linda Seidel is a long-time beauty expert who strives to subdue a wide array of dermal irregularities and discolorations. As the brain behind Natural Cover products, she understands how to analyze skin types, accommodate sensitivities, and vivify visages with a few strokes of the brush. Whether consulting with clients or guiding them through the application process, Linda encourages all guests to ask questions and explore their options, from trying new products and tones to abandoning old habits such as putting on lipstick while riding a pogo stick.

When founding Park Avenue Salon and Spa, owner Lynne Zsido assembled an experienced staff of licensed professionals, many with decades of experience. With an eye to environmental responsibility, the beautification crew assesses an armory of products by Bare Escentuals, CND, and Marcia Teixeira. Beyond the spa's emerald-hued door, smooth stones steep in warmth in preparation for romps across tired muscles or bank vaults carved from butter. Sweet nothings drift from massage sessions for couples, and soothing and cleansing elixirs wrought from Hershey's chocolate, jojoba oil, and almonds broadcast a dulcet bouquet.

LA Bronze Ultra Luxe Tanning Studios service tanners on the go and provides a respite for those looking to relax. Inside stand-up booths, clients remain on their feet while up to 60 bulbs create a 360-degree tan. Clients may also choose to stand up for a twelve-minute session inside a warm capsule or choose a bronze hue to have misted on their skin and settling into a sun-kissed glow in three hours. Those looking to enhance their tans can purchase power lotions, bronzers, accelerators, and cooling lotions from the salon’s collection of tanning products.

Trend Setters Hair Salon's owner and captain stylist, Jen Palmer, calls on more than 18 years of experience and specialization in cuts and coloring as she leads her staff. The team's comprehensive menu runs the gamut from keratin treatments and perms to facial waxing. In time slots doled out by appointment only, they discipline rowdy locks with products from Moroccanoil and Nioxin and brighten nails with artful french tips or resilient shellac gel that guards against chipping so that clients don't have to wear oven mitts to work. Surrounding the stylist's beautification chairs, muted, green walls hung with photos of flora and fauna craft a woodland-like environment.

Children's toys, brightly colored mirrors, and coloring easels delight little ones at Salon 36 Kids, and patient stylists pamper them with kid-centric beauty services. During a first haircut, stylists carefully snip baby and toddler hair, saving a lock for the parents and also providing them with a photo and keepsake certificate afterward. Along with kid cuts, Salon 36's team is well versed in highlighting teens' manes, flatiron straightening, trimming parents’ locks, and dolling up digits with mani-pedis for all ages, which also are featured in the salon's birthday-party packages.

In addition to services tailored to kids, the staff also uses high-quality, kid-friendly beauty products. Fairy Tales products keep bugs at bay with a lice-repellent formulation. The salon also stocks their shelves with eye-catching hair accessories, from barrettes to headbands, as well as specialty toys, including floating bath toys and picture puzzles of Einstein's first mohawk.
