Beauty & Spas in Clinton

The artistic stylists at Being Salon shear locks according to Rusk professional cutting techniques, snipping tresses into precision cuts that flatter face shapes. Under the maestros’ deft hands, manes transform into sleek, smooth waterfalls or curl into bouncy coils, and hair shades shift seamlessly from one color to another or learn to take on the colors of their surroundings. In addition to tending to head threads, the aestheticians at Being Salon wax away unwanted fuzz and tint lashes, and its manicurists employ polish, gel, or even fiberglass to brighten nails.

Hidden behind an unassuming black awning, Avenue Hair and Nails Salon transforms clients’ style dreams into reality. Its stylists cut, coif, and color patrons’ hair to their individual specifications so that no two ‘dos are the same, much like snowflakes and alibis. The salon’s Pravana Perfection SmoothOut treatment reduces blow-dry time and keeps hair straight and shiny for months. Nail services, on the other hand, zero in on lackluster finger- and toe-tips with colorful polishes.

Vixen Aesthetics arose from a passion for healing people and caring for skin. Medical director Dr. Jerry Greib developed an interest in aesthetics while treating patients in the emergency room. Leann Griffin, a registered nurse and the CEO of Vixen, fueled her passion for skin rejuvenation after caring for patients in the critical-care and burn-intensive-care units. Together, these two helm a staff that beautifies clients with medical and nonmedical aesthetic procedures. Wrinkles relax after injections of Botox or Dysport, and facial fillers such as Artefill, Restylane, and Juvéderm work to restore fullness. The staff rejuvenates complexions with exfoliating microdermabrasions as well as more advanced treatments, such as carboxytherapy—the practice of injecting small amounts of carbon dioxide into the skin to improve the appearance of stretch marks, scars, and lingering marker mustaches. With the assistance of versatile laser systems, they can also remove hair, resurface skin, remove tattoos, and eradicate nail fungus.

Staffed by a highly trained team of physicians, registered nurses, and medical aestheticians, Eastside Skin Care & Laser Center works to keep faces and physiques youthful with a suite of aesthetic services. Each visit kicks off with a personalized consultation before technicians perform Botox injections, spider-vein treatments, and skits about the discovery of laser hair removal by a clumsy CD-drive technician.

Belle Sante Spa’s team of massage therapist and aestheticians helps clients feel confident and relaxed with an array of spa services. For instance, the Neroli body-polish treatment uses products made from the orange tree’s white blossoms to gently exfoliate, massage, and hydrate skin. Likewise, facial treatments range from fast mini-facials to moon-stone facials that combine cold stones with hot steam to rejuvenate skin and reduce sinus pressure. Massage therapists specialize in a variety of modalities so customers looking to relax after attempting to shoot some hoops with a bowling ball can find the perfect treatment to meet their needs.

People use their hands in different ways, which makes it hard to find a single style of manicure that fits mitts universally. That’s why the nail technicians of Thumbs Up To You tailor their service menu to meet a wide range of needs, working around sensitive skin with odor-free fiberglass nails or offering chip-resistant Shellac polish for fingers facing long days of typing, chopping, or digging moats by hand. The shop also caters to busy schedules, offering no-frills fix ups such as quick polish changes or dry manicures to keep tips looking chic between services.
