Beauty & Spas in Grass Valley

Alainn Tu is stocked with a staff of friendly and experienced stylists and aestheticians, and the salon and spa's commitment to eco-friendly business practices shows a worldview beyond the keratin fences of customer's toenails. Customers can get smoother than a freshly buffed professional bowler with waxing options, including brow ($18–$35), lip ($7), and chin ($10–$15) treatments, or increase the drama of their eye accessories by tinting their lashes ($25) or brows ($15). For skin showing signs of stress, forget direct injections of soothing elevator music and instead opt for the 60-minute 302 Signature regeneration treatment ($75), which includes cleansing, extractions (as necessary), and an enzyme mask. The quickie break-time treatment ($50), men's signature treatment ($75), or flash treatments replenish the skin better than repeatedly dipping frontispieces into bowls of punch.

Waxing is among the most economical of non-permanent hair-removal treatments, allowing you to stay smooth but still compete in a playoff legbeard competition when the need arises. Reshape or separate Siamese brows ($15) or clear your upper lip and chin ($10 each) to clear a smooth surface for better novelty-moustache adhesion. Or just skip the specifics and get a full face of water-wicking skin. Migrate away from the mug and take care of overly insulated arms ($35) or a pair of leggy walking arms ($70). Prepare for beach season with a Brazilian ($45+) or its front-sided cousin, the stomach wax ($15+).

With a month's all-you-can-clip-clean-and-trim privileges at The Head Game, you'll be free to turn a bowl cut into a Mohawk into a faux-hawk into a North Pole soul patch, all while enjoying contemporary comforts within The Head Game's classic "1940s barbershop" studio space, complete with black leather recliners, flat-screen TVs, exposed brick, and framed sports photos. If forcefully lopping off your locks every few days sounds impractical, you can instead enjoy weekly touch-ups before summer weekend events such as weddings, barbecues, barbecue mitzvahs, international soccer tournaments, or nights out with a lucky lady.

Specializing in all aspects of hairstyling, Canvas Salon’s talented staff of hair tamers is led by Cherry Doran Johnson and Lorraine Blanco, who boast decades of follicle-forming experience. Visitors can get a look-rejuvenating haircut and a volume-boosting style that will accessorize any outfit better than a pair of road-flare earrings. While customers wind down and relax, away from noisy traffic and marauding city invaders, the friendly tress-masters will swaddle your locks in a conditioning shine masque ($15–$20) that penetrates each strand to soften and add a lustrous shine.

Minx Salon and Spa’s owner, Maddison Bell, stockpiles nine years of experience as a stylist and colorist and shares that knowledge through her work as an artistic educator for Matrix Professional haircare. Maddison and her talented, professional team perfect hair, massage, skincare, and nail services within the comforts of a charming home. The two-story building was made in the early 1900s in the American Craftsman style, an architectural movement that lost steam in the '30s after the Great Depression triggered the Hooverville fad. The modern furnishings and contemporary interior décor follow a sleek black-and-white color scheme with elegant chandeliers hanging over hairstyling stations, luxurious pedicure chairs, and six spa-treatment rooms.

From styling celebrity hair to revitalizing complexions with relaxing facials, the team at Willo Aveda, an Aveda concept salon, aims to fill local mirrors with visions of beauty. Stylists of five different experience levels wash and rinse hair before breathing new life into languishing strands with a tailored cut and blow-dry. Alternatively, hair artisans can deploy Aveda's 97%–99% naturally derived formulas to refresh hair with a single-process color or nourish locks with conditioning plant oils that leave hair shinier than a freshly licked ring pop. Aestheticians address hyperpigmentation or acne with skin-specific facials, and nail techs can upgrade the signature manicure with durable Shellac gel polish that lasts up to two weeks.
