Beauty & Spas in Druid Hills

Surrounded by tan walls and rich, chocolate-colored treatment beds, the licensed massage therapists and aestheticians at Facials N Such tend to each body's needs using natural botanical products. Owner Joretta King draws from more than 11 years of experience working in upscale spas in the metropolitan area. King joins her staff in pampering clients with specialty facials such as the Sweet Georgia Peach facial, with peach toner and a rejuvenating fruit mask, or the 24K Gold facial, which is performed with gold powder and silk extracts at the hands of highly trained mink. Full-body therapies include relaxing Swedish, deep-tissue, and sports massages and a unique Zodiac body scrub, which matches aromatic fruit oils and spices to the client's astrological sign.

Spider veins are not only a reason to avoid wearing shorts—they can be a symptom of more sinister circulatory problems. That’s why Dr. Ian Katz, a board-certified physician specializing in phlebology and sclerotherapy, offers three types of vein treatments, all of which help prevent future circulatory problems and remedy the appearance of spider and varicose veins. The first option is surgical removal, which Dr. Katz performs so precisely that patients typically don't even need stitches. Then there's sclerotherapy, the injection of a fluid that causes the vein to collapse and be absorbed back into the body. But perhaps the most intriguing technique—and Dr. Katz's specialty—is the VNUS closure procedure. The heat that this treatment's radiofrequency catheter generates closes off spider and varicose veins, reducing their exterior appearance and rerouting the blood they carry to healthier veins. The recovery process is simple; after the outpatient procedure, patients return to their normal routines within one to two days, and they see results after as little as one treatment. Following any of these treatments, patients may need to wear compression stockings for a time, but fortunately they don't have to resort to extreme measures, such as eating an apple every day.

Dr. L. Jack Cheng—a cosmetic physician and medical director at Atlanta Medical Institute—leads the LifeSpring Antiaging & Aesthetic Medicine team in smoothing skin and turning back facial clocks with a cadre of laser procedures and injectables. With an approach that emphasizes patient collaboration, Dr. Cheng precedes each treatment by listening to patients’ concerns and going over all treatment options. From there, he and the patient devise a regimen that might enlist lasers to remove hair, sun spots, or spider veins, or task Dysport or Juvéderm injections with filling out wrinkles and shar-pei Halloween masks.

By performing services with skill and finesse, Siggers Hairdressers' trend-wise stylists travel the world to stay up-to-date with fashion capitals’ latest trends and maintain Siggers' Intercoiffure membership for highly prized salons since 1977.

Siggers also specializes in balayage, a highlighting method that creates more natural-looking sun-kissed streaks. Stylists accomplish this look by painting each highlight by hand, moving from base to tip in a sweeping motion borrowed from Van Gogh's self portraits.

Individual glowing light bulbs trace the Prima Donna mirrors as they would on a Hollywood set. Above these glamorous vanities are painted ruby red lips, a birthmark, and the following quote by Marilyn Monroe: "Beneath the makeup and behind the smile I am just a girl who wishes for the world". In a way, salon owner D. Moore records her own legacy in the mirror's reflection, crisscrossing her clients cheeks with MAC and Lancome brand makeup. Dye is also licensed and highly skilled aesthetician, beautifying mugs with facials and elegant silk eyelash extensions.
