Beauty & Spas in Florence

The team of technicians at Cosmetic Laser Institute helps heal damaged skin and beautify complexions with more than 20 laser-powered procedures overseen by University of Cincinnati–trained dermatologist Anthony Mamari, MD. Focused on client comfort, Dr. Mamari and his staff work to banish blemishes and age spots.

A A Touch of Heaven Salon Massage & Day Spa stocks a large inventory of well-respected pampering products. Nail technicians employ OPI and Gelish polish, and hairstylists primp tresses with smart Solutions, Redken, Sexy Hair, and KMS products. An assemblage of massage therapists and aestheticians performs indulgent work at the spa too, allying to relax and beautify their clients. They execute 10 varieties of massage, from the gentle, simple Swedish to the choreographed complexity of the four-handed massage—performed by two therapists or one octopus also juggling four tennis balls. They combine treatments of the body's inner tissues with herbal or peppermint-scented wraps to rejuvenate the outer layer.

Outside of the private rooms lies the salon proper, where stylists carefully ply their craft on the hair and nails of their patrons. They imbue locks with new color, wax away unwanted hair, and even provide spray tans to maintain a summery glow throughout winter's tenure.

Stylists and licensed massage therapists at Kaché Salon of Distinction customize haircuts and whisk away stress within a cream-and-coral-pink salon. Namasté haircare products relax strands and cleanse impurities, leaving hair as lustrous as a diamond accepting the Nobel Prize. Relaxing music accompanies a licensed muscle-melter's soothing kneads, and technicians can slick nails with long-lasting shellac polish or classic shades. Kaché also hosts monthly De-Stress spa parties for men and women featuring special pricing and pampering services.

Medicine runs in the family for Dr. Mona Foad, a board-certified dermatologist who shares bloodlines with experts in rheumatology, internal medicine, and orthopedic surgery. Shaped by the many specializations within her family tree, Dr. Foad oversees the Cincinnati Dermatology Center, where a staff of technicians and aestheticians address patients' medical, surgical, and cosmetic skincare concerns.

The center's arsenal of med-spa technology includes multiple cosmetic laser systems, which can banish unwanted stubble, refine skin tone and texture, or quickly skip through scenes on most DVDs. Among the many services available, the facility also provides chemical peels that resurface cheekbones and dermal fillers that help to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

Servicing clients for more than 41 years, Identity Hair Salon and Spa's menu of services helps them create new aesthetic personas via French pedicures, braided hair extensions, or Latisse lash-growth treatments. Inside, Dr. Marie Meyers enhances appearances by performing a variety of beautification services, such as laser hair removal and IPL photofacials. The multi-faceted salon and spa attracts a range of clients, including men eager to evict renegade hairs encroaching on their backs. Alternatively, microdermabrasion, Botox, and facial fillers can transform faces that are on the run from a sinister cabal of stamp collectors.
