Chelsea, MA Beauty and Salons

Within a bright salon decorated with hardwood floors and billowing curtains, the stylists at Bella Hair shape locks into dazzling coiffures. Goldwell dyes transform strands with streaks of red or platinum blond during single- or multiprocess colorings, and Keratin Complex treatments tame frizzy manes, leaving them shiny and smooth. Bella's beauty experts also wax away unwanted hair—from fuzzy upper lips to handlebar unibrows—and prepare clients for special occasions, such as weddings and proms.

Stylists, aestheticians, and massage therapists make up the staff at Raymar Day Spa, each tasked with creating a serene and tranquil experience for every client. In the salon, hairstylists call on Moroccanoil products to hydrate dry or damaged strands alongside cut and color services, and they use formaldehyde-free keratin treatments to smooth curls and block frizz for months. Meanwhile, aestheticians and massage therapists tag-team in private spa suites, where they dole out blissful massage, facial, and mani-pedi spa packages. In addition to pampering workaday Janes, Raymar Day Spa caters to bridal parties with wedding-day packages and makeup applications that make your maid of honor look just like the Scarlett Johansson you never had.

For the past two decades, Laser Spa’s owner Karin E. Flynn, C.L.T. has been honing her skills as a certified laser technician and permanent-makeup artist, while working alongside notable plastic surgeons. When she's not refreshing brows and Grover Cleveland mustaches with cosmetic tattoos, Flynn is enhancing patients' appearances with the latest laser technology including the Cynosure Smooth Shapes XV for body sculpting and cellulite treatments. Specialized beams work to banish body hair, unsightly veins, and tattoos, while the Cutera Titan boosts collagen production to tighten skin.

Center founder Victoriya Arakelyan and her small staff of aestheticians, laser technicians, and yoga instructors dedicate themselves to bolstering clients' confidence with treatments to rejuvenate bodies inside and out. As the center's medical director, Dr. Joseph Russo uses his expert eye and years of experience to oversee technologically enhanced aesthetic services that range from advanced laser treatments that remove hair or stretch marks to Ulthera-brand noninvasive sound wave anti-aging treatments and Botox injections. Traditional spa services such as facials and more than five massage modalities can be tailored to meet clients' specific needs, including tight muscles or acne. To further bolster a relaxing experience, vibrant yellow walls line Brookline's spacious office, complemented by burnished hardwood floors that lead to private treatment rooms outfitted with advanced aesthetic equipment.

At FrancesRay Jules Salon, stylists shear, color, and straighten tresses, polish nails, and pamper skinscapes, earning laud as having Boston’s Best Waxing by CityVoter in 2009. Expert hands style manes into elegant updos and brush Jules Makeup over eyes and cheeks before wedding ceremonies or bouquet-toss cage matches. Epidermises rejuvenate with facials, waxing, and body treatments such as an exfoliating body glow with sea salts and essential oils. FrancesRay Jules Salon's aestheticians wield professional products as they transform exteriors, treating nails to OPI polish and locks to Farouk BioSilk and Moroccanoil to leave locks stronger than a bodybuilding grizzly bear.

Jason B William Salon’s expert tress tamers wield Kenra hair products when snipping locks into fresh silhouettes and Inoa and Matrix coloring products when imbuing them with vibrant new hues.

Deft fingers brush Mirabella cosmetics over eyelids and cheeks to enhance natural beauty and Balmain Hair extensions send locks cascading down backs.
