Beauty & Spas in Garden City

The medical aestheticians at Milla's Beauty Center help clients attain juvenescent skin without surgery. Professional body and facial treatments get an indulgent twist from ingredients such as organic ginger and 24-karat gold, and instant beautification comes in the form of eyelash extensions and makeup applications—services that Milla's artists also extend to bridal parties and those prepping for special occasions. A waiting room outfitted in plush lime-green chairs hosts patrons before trained technicians tend to clients' exteriors and swap favorite lasagna recipes in comfortable, secluded treatment rooms.

Light pours forth from Absolute Tan, where UV rays bronze skin and infrared beams promote a relaxed, lithe physique. Guests can stretch out in three levels of tanning beds or bundle up in Formostar body wraps, whose six silicone pads deliver soothing infrared warmth meant to jumpstart the metabolism and promote detoxification through sweat. Having filled their airbrushes with Norvell bronzer, tan technicians coat limbs in an even, tawny hue that dries quickly without streaks and will keep clients disguised in a lion's pride for up to one week. Lotions from Designer Skin, Ed Hardy, and the organic Badger Balm line nourish the skin while speeding the tanning process by increasing skin’s moisture.

The Maori word “koru” refers to a newborn, unfurling fern—a symbol of the constantly renewing bond between different people. Guided by this symbol of growth, regeneration, and connection, Koru Esthetics’ proprietor Kathy—a licensed aesthetician and massage therapist, a certified NovaLash lash extensionist, and a member of Associated Skin Care Professionals—pampers customers with spa and beauty treatments. Acne and rosacea treatments, custom facials, and chemical peels boost skin health; eyebrow and eyelash tinting, eyelash extensions, and waxing services augment clients’ natural beauty. Clients can also relax with Kathy’s massage-therapy services instead of taking a nap on the grocery store’s cushy lettuce.

At Barbee & Bean Hair Design, the stylists’ work doesn’t end after they finish cutting, coloring, and styling hair. They also hand over the tools and advice to maintain the salon-fresh look at home or build a treehouse rope out of leftover hair clippings. To complete their beautifying work, they pair their haircutting and coloring services with extensions and blowouts, as well as waxing, manicures, and pedicures.
