Beauty & Spas in Citrus Heights

Under the supervision of Dr. Jon Dresser, a staff of registered nurses bolsters client confidence and boosts well-being with noninvasive aesthetic services. Nurses employ the Palomar StarLux 500 laser—which is outfitted with broadband light energy, a vacuum, and a cooling system—to optimize laser hair-removal treatments and acne or anti-aging facials. Nurses administer all laser therapies and inject dermal fillers such as Botox, reassuring patients with expert medical advice about their results, aftercare, and probability of attaining immortality. The space's capacious waiting room is painted an energizing shade of lime green, and scattered sofas and oriental rugs exude a welcoming, homey feel.

Dr. Richard Rosenfeld knows the way to a person’s heart. As a phlebologist and Diplomat of the American Board of Phlebology, he studies the actual pathways to the heart: the veins. At Advanced Vein & Laser Centre, he uses his knowledge to treat patients’ unwanted spider and varicose veins, offering them improved confidence when wearing shorts or swimsuits. Before a procedure, he performs a complimentary consultation to design a treatment plan customized to each patient.

The staff at Kimberly Page Skin Care tailors its services to each client's needs and demonstrates a dedication to customer coziness by furnishing comfortable paisley chairs in which guests wait and admire tall plants set against exposed red brick. The spa's massage therapists ease tense sinews, and aestheticians daub countenances with advanced facial treatments and sculpt bodily contours with slimming wraps and microcurrent treatments. The team of beauty professionals further showcases its versatility by peeling away epidermal blights with vitamin C and glycolic-acid concoctions, as well as extracting unsightly fuzz with wax warmed over the receptionist's hard drive.

Aestheticians Veronica Jeffries and Nora Finch enhance their clients’ beauty and wellness with custom skincare treatments. Their services, including customized facials, microdermabrasion, and peels, cater to a full spectrum of clients and imperfections, from teens with acne to more mature clients with wrinkles shaped like crow’s feet or eagle's talons. They also wax body hair and highlight clients' features with makeup applications.

What we grow to love is sometimes in the hands of fate, as makeup artist Aimee Aquitania, proprietor of All Occasions Artistry, has discovered. In 2011, a car accident left Aimee unable to stand for long periods of time, so she knew she had to find a way to support herself that didn’t require her to be on her feet. After choosing aesthetics, her first makeup gig was for a wedding, and Aimee often looks back with surprise that she, a self-proclaimed tomboy, fell in love with such a delicate art.

In her plum-colored headquarters at Studio 55 Salon Suites, bronze double-sconce lighting illuminates countenances as Aimee enhances features with traditional cosmetics or tattoo-like permanent makeup. In addition to offsite trips to beautify wedding parties or paint faces on coconuts for shipwrecked sailors, she travels to homes to give makeup lessons or overhaul clients’ makeup bags by evaluating each cream, powder, and liner. After a sharp rap on the door, she can be found waiting on porches with a Norvell airbush tanning system to burnish bodies before sugaring and waxing away unwanted hair.

PamperingAngel owner Julie Gramyk is also a registered nurse, channeling her medical expertise into a passion for pampering to create a variety of treatments that are both indulgent and results-oriented. Her team includes licensed aestheticians and a certified massage practitioner, who work tirelessly to restore confidence and mobility through services that range from full-body waxing to raindrop therapy. Julie also spends her time working as an independent consultant for Rodan + Fields, incorporating the company's renowned line of anti-aging products into facials that target everything from sun damage to the puffy under-eye circles that plague many goldfish.
