Columbine, CO Beauty and Salons

When the staff at Expert Waxer named their business, they didn’t do it to brag. They did it to acknowledge their specialty in the most complicated of all waxing treatments—the Brazilian. The deft technicians can swiftly depilate both male and female clients below the waist, using techniques that lessen pain while maintaining the highest level of hygienic practices. Outside of their signature service, the waxers also can rid clients of hair from both body and face to leave skin smooth and stubble-free. The salon’s estheticians also turn their hand to the face, offering hand-applied lash extensions and peels and microresurfacing treatments that remove signs of fine lines and acne scars.

The team at Colorado Hair Institute works to help patients reclaim full, lush heads of hair through a variety of procedures, both surgical and nonsurgical. In addition to detailed grafts performed with the aid of dissecting microscopes, the institute also offers laser hair therapy, which helps to spur the growth of hair through use of a laser comb.

Outside of scalp-related activities, the staff deploys a noninvasive Zerona low-level laser technology to assist its patrons in the quest to shed inches from abs, thighs, love handles, and tails.

Licensed nurse Barb Galinsky perfected her healing touch and gentle bedside manner across nearly eight years spent working in the ER. Today, her nurturing spirit permeates her spa located within Dolce Vita, where clients are made comfortable and cared for with one-on-one attention and complimentary wine, beer, coffee, or tea. Bearing advanced training in all dermal fillers, including Botox, Juvéderm, and Restylane, Barb spends most of her days softening fine lines and wrinkles from her clients' faces, allowing them to reclaim lost youth and finally gain admission to the ball pit at the local fast-food joint.

Margarita Pinkhasova—a.k.a., Rita of Rita's Nail—pretties up fingers and toes from the comforts of Arbach's Goodhair Salon. With long-lasting beauty in mind, Rita artfully applies traditional and shellac polish that can remain chip-free for up to two weeks. She also tames unruly brows and smoothens out other facial areas with swift yet gentle waxing sessions.

Lisa knows that natural-looking nails are often the most elegant. She creates this subtle aesthetic by applying sets of thin acrylics, whose pink and white hues mimic nails that have never been painted or used to pry open a bank safe. Lisa also wields CND shellac to brush on chip-resistant coats of color, and brightens nails with OPI gel and polish. She enhances her pedicures with exfoliation and massages.

At Lanata Advanced Skin Care, owner Amie Hawks and her staff of aestheticians refuse to use synthetic products that—in Amie’s experience—only exacerbate skin problems. Instead, they rely on eco-friendly products and progressive technologies, helping clients maintain youthful-looking skin by stimulating the body’s natural production of collagen and other proteins and chemicals designed by the cells’ teams of tiny scientists.
