Beauty & Spas in Granite City

Polish Me Pink Salon and Day Spa's skilled digit transformer, Ebony Barrett, spruces up hands and feet with resilient polishes from brands including OPI, Minx, and Shellac. The spa's interior, awash in natural light, welcomes patrons with an expansive storefront window, spacious salon stations with individual mirrors, and a polished floor that doubles as a handy mirror for admiring one's favorite heel. In addition to upholding standards of beauty, Polish Me Pink Salon and Day Spa maintains a BYOB policy, and will furnish glasses for clients who bring their own alcohol.

The skilled nail technicians at Polish Me carefully groom digits with a wide array of mani-pedi services and in vogue colors from brands that include OPI, Zoya, and Orly. Clients can pick up a complimentary refreshment before taking a seat at one of the nail stations, where artists create symmetrical, vivid digits by applying classic or Shellac polish. On-the-go customers can opt to protect polishings with a specialty pair of toe-less pedicure socks—ideal for teasing piranhas during future aquarium visits.

Within her serene, secluded studio, skilled aesthetician Dora Peters leads her staff in tailoring skincare regimens to clients' specific needs. Aestheticians outfit patrons with youthful glows with services such as acid peels and microdermabrasion facials. High-tech skin-tightening sessions harness the collagen-boosting prowess of radio frequencies. Also included in the beauty arsenal are electrical microcurrent tools, which stimulate skin cells to dissolve such signs of aging as fine lines, sunspots, and grinning incessantly while watching Matlock.

A commitment to using natural products, such as vegan nail polish, guides the staff at Serene Scene Morning Spa as they unfurl services by appointment 24 hours a day. The natural essential oils used in the spa manicure and other treatments fill the air with aromatherapy scents and zero airborne chemicals. Dessert-themed services such as the Cupcake pedicure or the foot spa Sundae paint appendages candy colors to match the pastel walls of the spa's private rooms.

Imagine someone approaches with a smoothie made of organic peaches, blueberries, or mangoes, but instead of offering you a taste they gently spread its contents across your forehead and massage the sweet aromas into your skin. This surreal daydream happens daily at Pure Elegance Spa, where aestheticians devoted to organic skincare nourish complexions with their six signature fruit-smoothie facials and other treatments designed to nurse skin to optimal health. Oxygen therapy revives dull skin in tandem with parsley and cucumber, and microdermabrasion promotes cellular turnover deep within the dermis using an exfoliant of pears and poppy seeds. Beyond edible ingredients, many services also blend in products by Éminence Organic Skin Care—a Hungarian line that heals signs of aging and ushers toxins from the face and body without relying on chemicals or additives.

Those who prefer to save their appetite for later can skip the chocolate and margarita manicures in favor of airbrush makeup or waxing services that clear away fuzz on the face and body. Ocular enhancements include Xtreme Lashes eyelash extensions that add natural-looking drama, as well as an eye rescue treatment that aims to save peepers from puffiness, crow's feet, and madcap pokes from nearby Stooges.
