East Pensacola Heights, FL Spa and Massage

Calling upon her advanced training and a slew of professional-grade serums from Edimi, Clarisse, and Bio-Therapeutic, aesthetician Kitty Hendershott renovates complexions with a bouquet of treatments that cater to specific skin types. The mild currents of Kitty’s microcurrent facial stimulate underlying muscles and increase collagen production for added firmness, and her ultimate facial’s blend of vacuum massage, microdermabrasion, and light therapy cultivates a youthful glow. Other body parts step into the spotlight during full-body waxing treatments that swipe away unwanted hair and clingy cardigans. Body wraps ensconce skin in soothing aloe, essential oils, and mineral-rich Dead Sea salts that gently flush dirt from pores.

Waxing therapist Simmi Taylor at Eimaj Spa & Salon, who mastered hair removal during a stint at the Aveda Institute and through speed-waxing classes at the International Dermal Institute, depilates skin with a pain-minimizing technique that prevents hairs from weeping.

In 2004, husband and wife duo Monica and David Spencer had a vision for an upscale, yet casual salon and realized their dream in Monica's Nail Salon and Day Spa. Their clients can order services ala carte or opt for a package, to let staffers revitalize their entire bodies with a combination of stress-relieving facials, mani-pedis, and massages, which can soothe them in a way only treasured stuffed animals can. The salon also offers a variety of products from brands such as OPI, China Glaze, and CND.

The beauticians at Le Posh Salon & Spa use fully organic products to soothe skin, faces, and muscles, deploying vegan nail polish in a sunlit, spacious facility. Guests can luxuriate in a bright lounge replete with couches, comfy chairs, and a flat-screen TV or drink a glass of champagne as a resident DJ spins tunes. The hair lounge's cluster of indoor birch trees builds a tranquil atmosphere as birds fly down from boughs to place bows in guests' hair.

Fresh off her achievement of becoming the valedictorian of her graduating class at Dudley’s Beauty College, Hope D. Hannibal wanted to test her mettle. She signed up for a duo of competitions, snipping and cropping her way to a second- and third-place finish in the Bronner Bros. Student Rising Star and Student Mannequin competitions. Springboarding off those victories, and undergirded by her bachelor's in business management, the aesthetics go-getter started her own salon.

In 2009, she flung open the doors to Bella Cheveux Salon and Spa, where she and her staff treat clients to an array of prettifying services. As a national educator for Dudley’s haircare products, Hope ensures that her team is up on the latest beauty innovations. She harnesses continuing education and training to outfit her patrons with the latest trends, sprucing up coifs with cuts, highlights, and relaxers or accenting nails with colors more dynamic than a rainbow seen through a prism.

The specialists at Nail & Hair Studio domesticate wild nails and manes. They detach split ends on heads and trim unwanted length on fingernails. Further mani-pedi pampering includes hand massages, French tips, and taking the time to play “this little piggy” with patron’s feet.
