Cutlerville, MI Beauty and Salons

The technicians at New Image Lipo Laser help deflate fat cells with noninvasive laser energy from the Lapex BCS LipoLaser. Each 20- to 40-minute session can help streamline the physique by spurring the release of water, fatty acids, and glycerol from spot areas of unwanted flab. The fat-fighting center also houses Whole-Body Vibration machines that help tone muscles with rapid-fire movements, much like playing red light/green light with photons.

The stylists and aestheticians at Echo Salon snip strands into trendy styles and shift hair shades to produce completely new looks. Team members shear off layers for flirtatious bobs or feather bangs to hide third eyes, and they tame manes with relaxers, thermal straightening, and keratin hair-smoothing treatments. The stylists also shape and tint brows into elegant arches and craft classic updos for special events such as weddings, proms, and staring contests with the fairest mirror on the wall.

As her salon’s name implies, Tamara doesn’t like to limit herself. Stationed within the stress-free confines of Sola Salon Studios, the stylist and nail technician draws on her wealth of experience to bolster her clients’ looks and self-esteem with a variety of treatments. When she isn’t imbuing strands with color or fashioning them into cute pixies or durable rock-climbing ropes, she turns her attention to nails. Among Tamara’s specialties is chip-resistant Shellac, which keeps nails shiny and protected for up to two weeks.

When the time came for Vickie and Victor Bennett to name their new day spa, they simply reached for an English-to-Italian dictionary. Vasaio, which means ‘potter’ in Italian, captures the Bennetts’s commitment to revealing the untapped beauty in each of their clients, much like a potter uncovers the beauty in wet clay or uncooked cookie dough. Using organic lotions, scrubs, and muds created in-house, as well as Keune Haircosmetics products imported from the Netherlands, Vasaio’s stylists, massage therapists, and nail technicians sculpt, soothe, and pamper their patrons amid a luxurious spa setting.

Dr. Laura Tinning leads Vasaio’s med-spa arm, administering and overseeing rejuvenating procedures such as microdermabrasion, chemical peels, Botox and Juvéderm injections, and laser treatments. Armed with the Cutera laser system, Dr. Tinning and her team battle nail fungus, acne, unwanted hair growth, visible veins, and the body’s internal asteroid belt.

Within her sleekly designed studio—replete with eggplant-hued walls, distressed floors, and metal counters—Beth Wagner leads an experienced team in helping clients look and feel their best. Stylists pull from paraben- and sulfate-free Kevin Murphy products to snip and style tresses, while nail techs top fingers with OPI polish. Inside a private room, massage therapists alternate between soothing and concentrated kneads to squash out tension.

Tropi Tan does something the sun can’t. It tans bathing- and- birthday-suit-clad bodies throughout the year and keeps the golden glows coming until 9 p.m. or later on weeknights. Inside standup and lie-down tanning booths, clients relax as warm rays penetrate the skin and build a natural bronze in up to 20 minutes; a collection of lotions helps speed up the shade-shifting process and keeps skin looking healthy and moisturized. Those who prefer UV-free tanning can opt to hop in one of the studio's spray-tanning booths, which swap bulbs for a sugar-based solution that leaves skin golden and more kissable to horses for up to five days.
