Beauty & Spas in Five Forks

Though clients flock to licensed massage therapist Dana Randall to experience the soothing effects of her hands, they soon come to realize that her eyes have the same calming powers. Before asking them to recline on the plush massage bed, Randall gets to know her clients face-to-face. Through these informal chats, she comes to identify which modalities might best help them shake off soreness and anxiety from trudging through long workdays or arm-wrestling boogie monsters nightly.

Randall’s breadth of knowledge is as extensive as the range of ailments she can treat: during each massage, she may draw on techniques that span Swedish, deep-tissue, trigger-point, sports, and prenatal modalities. Through this integrative process, she zeroes in on trouble spots and endows physical and psychological benefits that range from easing lower-back pain to promoting an overall sense of calm. When she isn’t soothing muscles with her nimble fingers, Randall draws out built-up wax and other impurities from the ears with gentle ear-candling therapy.

Inspyre Health's doctors and fitness instructors follow the formula for successful health plans and buddy-cop movies, combining the time-tested wisdom of naturopathic medicine with the by-the-books confidence of cutting-edge procedures. Chronic fatigue, obesity, and thyroid imbalances may be alleviated by personalized toxin-targeting plans even after conventional techniques fail. Though the umbrella of services encompasses laser lipo treatments, infrared-sauna therapy, and nutritional supplements, the clinic's holistic philosophy is founded on the principle of a healthy, all-natural diet.

Like many young girls, Haley Parrish dreamt of one day living in Hollywood. But unlike other girls, Haley didn't want to be a star—she wanted to be the one behind the scenes, making the stars beautiful. She hardly wasted a moment pursuing this dream. After enrolling in a cosmetology program at age 16, she earned her license to style before she even earned her high-school diploma. Once that diploma was in her hand, she made the long trek across the United States to Los Angeles, where she basked in the warm breeze of blow dryers while attending MKC Beauty Academy.

Throughout her studies, Haley enjoyed the tutelage of world-renowned makeup artist Margaret Kimura as well as instruction from celebrity photographers Patricia De La Rosa and Ash Gupta. With her thirst for Hollywood glamour sated, she returned to the East Coast, where she worked as a stylist as well as a freelancer on photo shoots, commercials, and print work. Despite her return home, she hasn't lost her wanderlust; as a member of the Charleston Fashion Week hair-and-makeup team, Haley travels from coast to coast making people beautiful. Her home base is now a salon chair at Edge Salon and Boutique, where she pampers clients with products from Paul Mitchell, Temptu, and Keratin Complex Treatment.

Having studied skincare with prominent specialists such as Dr. Zein Obagi and Jan Marini, licensed aesthetician Suzanne Godbout pours a wealth of knowledge into each treatment she offers at Suzanne’s Esthetics. Though she’s a firm believer in achieving healthy skin by using sunscreen daily or simply becoming nocturnal, Suzanne gives complexions an added boost with facials, peels, and other services aided by professional products from SkinCeuticals and Jane Iredale. She works with clients to develop individual treatment plans and shows them easy ways to inject nourishing doses of vitamin C and retinol into their daily skincare routines.
