Converse, TX Beauty and Salons

As a recruiter, Elizabeth "Elle" Ferrari routinely asked job candidates, "If you didn’t have to work, if money wasn’t an issue, what would you do?" It took 25 years before someone turned the tables. After pondering the query, she replied, "Open a day spa and spoil people." This moment of enlightenment catalyzed a career change, leading her through cosmetology school and onward until she opened Junellia Skin & Body Care, a beauty haven focused on treatments for men, women, and young adults. Prior to administering facials, chemical peels, and body scrubs, Ferrari often analyzes skin and designs custom treatments that make it glow like a Lite-Brite with radioactive pegs.

Gentleness is king at Shelly’s Art of Nails. The salon’s nail technicians specialize in crafting groomed heels and hands for older clientele and those suffering from diabetes, ensuring every patient receives a comfortable, caring treatment when they take a seat in the salon’s pedicure chairs. Technicians can augment their signature mani-pedi treatments with a range of add-ons, incorporating options such as reflexology and aromatherapy to throw off pursuing bloodhounds. The shop flaunts its free-spirited side with its housemade scrubs and soaps, as well as artisans who decorate skin with henna tattoos, body art, creative face paint, or makeup applications.

Flickering candles, intricate metal mirrors, and cozy treatment-table bedding demonstrate Jenn’s attention to detail. This painstaking care is an asset for the licensed aesthetician, who specializes in cleaning tiny pores. Using PCA Skin products, Jenn polishes mugs with an array of treatments, including microdermabrasion, ultrasonic facials, and procedures for men and teens. In private rooms, she also uses wax to carefully remove unwanted hair from the root, leaving skin as soft and smooth as a caterpillar emerging from a spa.

The silhouette professionals at Zespa enhance physiques with non-invasive, FDA--approved Zerona laser treatments and the Venus Freeze skin-rejuvenation system. Comprehensive body-contouring plans encourage healthier habits and lasting inch loss by harnessing Zerona’s cold-laser technology, which liquefies lipids at the cellular level, allowing the fat to run screaming from the body like a donut that mistakenly ends up in a health-food store.

A series of treatments can shrink the circumference of the waist, hips, thighs, or other target areas. Venus Freeze, which Zespa compares to a hot-stone massage, works to tighten skin, reducing wrinkles and cellulite and making skin appear as youthful-looking as a puppy wearing pigtails.

A consulting plastic surgeon, a medical director, and an aesthetics nurse specialist walk into a med spa. They take off their coats and begin their day. Skincare is no joke at Skin Diva Medical Aesthetics med spa, where the dedicated team works one-on-one with clients to enhance natural beauty with advanced, nonsurgical skincare treatments. The center’s technicians begin services by ID-ing each client's beauty needs, from aging skin and sun damage to rosacea and acne. Once a plan is in place to address these issues, the specialists employ every skincare tool in their metaphorical bag of tricks, including five types of dermal fillers, Asclera sclerotherapy, chemical peels using AHA, or TCA or the Cutera Xeo laser, which is designed to erase unwanted veins, hair, and birthmarks shaped like Carrot Top.

The aestheticians, wellness specialists, and laser technicians at Blue Diamond MedSpa help patrons harness health and beauty, looking to the fountain of youth for inspiration. Blue Diamond’s team battles the effects of aging and amplifies clients’ existing beauty. They’ll lengthen lashes, remove body hair, assist clients during weight loss quests, and taunt wrinkles until they run off of your face, crying.
