Beauty & Spas in Indianapolis

Judging by the invigorating decor, which pairs lime- and teal-accented walls with a checkerboard floor, the people and poodles that visit Air Tan in search of a makeover feel refreshed before their treatments even start. The spa specializes in using a natural, organic tanning solution to apply a healthy-looking glow to skin. Its hair-salon menu includes cuts, color, and texturizing services, and spa treatments pamper skin, nails, and even ears.

A family-owned company, Family Tans, Inc. helps bronze bodies inside its spacious facility with custom spray tans and high-end tanning booths, and further primps exteriors with body wraps, hair treatments, and nail services. Private rooms host a range of different beds and amenities, from the SunDash Gold Series equipment to powerful Avantgarde 600 booths—which feature facial tanners, cool air, and a built in radio for listening to music. Premium UVA bulbs grace the upright and upgraded beds, delivering rays that penetrate deeper into the skin. Hides can also gain some color with custom airbrush spray tans, which are applied by hand to deliver an even, UV-free sheen. The staff also provides teeth whitening, massage treatments, and body wraps. For an additional fee, parents can leave their clan at the onsite childcare while they partake in spa and salon services.

From the moment guests step into Panache Day Spa's tranquil reception area, decorated with sleek leather couches, green plants, and warm earth tones, the staff works to help guests relax and ignore any stressors from the outside world. Nailcare, massages, facials, and spa packages are geared toward couples, like SUVs with two steering wheels. Body treatments such as the salt-glow body polish exfoliate and moisturize the skin with soothing essential oils, and a Mud Moor body wrap heals and hydrates skin to decrease cellulite and boost circulation. After getting pampered, clients can rinse off in the hydrotherapy shower to complete the skin-softening process.

At No.7 Salon and Spa, a fleet of stylists and aestheticians lavish hair and nails with time, attention, and artistry. The stylists shear locks before adding highlights or shifting overall color to a summery blond, a deep black, or a green that camouflages heads amid forest foliage. They can also banish frizz with smoothing treatments or add life with curls. The salon’s nail technicians take over to adorn fingers with OPI polish, and skincare professionals tackle blemishes with facials incorporating vitamin C and banish unwanted fuzz with waxing. Clients in need of even more relaxation can visit the spa’s massage therapists, who knead away stress with the gliding strokes of Swedish massage or focus on chronic pain with deep-tissue massage.

Shannon Dill named her business Serendipity's Hair Care & Nail Salon because she relishes her good fortune of meeting new customers each day. Though she keeps busy tending to fingernails and trimming hairdos to match celebrity styles, Shannon always finds time to share a story or positive message with her clients. She’s such a natural confidante that her manicures often end with a pinky swear and a reassurance that the CND Shellac polish will last up to two weeks without chipping.

Certified massage therapist Christine Tenpas maintains open lines of communication during her massage treatments in order to best serve her clients. She is proficient in five popular modalities thanks to her 700 hours of training and a nimble third arm. Her Swedish sessions combine oils and lotions with a mix of rolling, kneading, and percussive strokes in order to improve circulation. Both hot-stone-therapy and deep-tissue sessions can help alleviate buried back pain, and prenatal massages focus on relieving the specific aches experienced by mothers to be.
