Beauty & Spas in Dania Beach

Aesthetician and Brazilian waxing specialist Jen Rutledge of Le Beau Salon & Spa uproots bodily brier patches with a slate of fuzz-plucking services. The small, tranquil salon and spa in which she works affords customers a private setting to make the magical transition from furry to smooth or from Clark Kent to Superwoman.

Their titular waxing services can keep clients hair-free for several weeks, and because of their hard-wax blend, the discomfort is far less pronounced than it is with other varieties. Adding a touch of bronze to waxing comes in the form of an all-over spray tan. This 45-minute procedure leaves exteriors as golden brown as a Thanksgiving turkey without the distracting smell. Safer than UV tanning, spray tans can be customized to individual skin pigmentations for a seamless dermal transformation.

While working a cruise ship, holistic doctor and acupuncturist Ahuva Gamliel treated a passenger complaining of digestive issues. Impressed by how fast she found relief, the patient said she would send her husband so that Gamliel could treat his shoulder pain. But the woman added, "My husband is not going to tell you this, but he has erectile dysfunction and I want you to treat him for it." Noticing the man didn't mention erectile dysfunction on his intake form, Gamliel proceeded to treat him for it anyway, along with tending to his shoulder. A few days later, the woman stopped by and said, "What did you do to him? I feel like we are on our second honeymoon." Dr. Gamliel thrives on hearing such patient testimonials. Knowing since she was 5 years old that she would become a doctor, Gamliel began working as a phlebotomist in high school. But her first experiences with conventional medicine—which she recalls as "cold, callous, and impersonal"—left her disenchanted. After completing undergraduate study in psychobiology, Gamliel discovered the field of natural medicine and went on to earn a doctorate in naturopathic medicine and acupuncture from Bastyr University. Today, Gamliel pursues her vision of bringing natural healthcare to the masses through MiBaSo, an acronym for mind, body, and soul. Gamliel hopes to turn MiBaSo into a franchised, membership-based practice that increases the visibility, accessibility, and affordability of natural medicine.
