Greenlawn, NY Beauty and Salons

The experienced aestheticians at Vaira's European Holistic Skin Care pamper the epidermis with European spa treatments and a natural harvest of soothing herbs and scrubs. Exfoliating facial creams brim with natural ingredients such as collagen, essential oils, and vitamin C enzymes, all of which team up to imbue skin with the softness and sleekness of a laminated teddy bear. Aromatherapy calms the senses as aestheticians buff away blemishes and expired skin cells during herbal body treatments and revitalizing sea-salt scrubs. Vaira's uses HydraFacial products to resurface and tighten skin with a multi-step process.

Clients stepping into any one of Connecticut's six Kennedy's locations are transported to a simpler time when men were gentlemen and a trip to the barber was a relaxing social experience. The polished wood-trimmed décor and vintage leather furnishings echo that bygone era, and the smell of after-shave and sounds of scissors clipping away locks complete the portrait. Barbers offer cold beverages and hand-selected music before trimming hair or cleaning away stubble with the almost-forgotten art of the straight razor.

To render this atmosphere social, most locations sport a lounge with saloon tables, billiards, and more modern appurtenances such as flat-screen TVs and butler robots. This spirit of old-school personal service showcased amid elegant, throwback décor has helped Kennedy’s win a number of accolades, including the Best Barber Shop award from Orlando Magazine five times, most recently in 2011.

Led by physician and trained surgeon Dr. Ihsan I. Jabbour, the medical staff at PureSkin—which includes a registered nurse and two physician assistants—strives to make wrinkle reduction as convenient as possible. Working out of several locations, the skilled clinicians administer cosmetic injections to calm crease-causing muscles, and they diminish facial lines for up to one year with dermal fillers such as Juvéderm, Restylane, Perlane, and Radiesse. The crew will even travel to deliver a custom Night of Beauty, allowing groups of friends to enjoy age-reversing treatments in the comfort of their own home or favorite unlocked mansion.

Chief aesthetician and therapist Yamil Sarabia employs a mixture of gentle techniques – largely founded in Eastern medicine – to help her patients manage pain and lead healthier lives. When a patient first arrives, she takes time to explain how each of her primary treatment methods – acupuncture, cranioscral therapy, and massage – held the body in different ways. This helps include patients in the treatment, as they are able to prescribe themselves treatments once they understand the goals.
