Beauty & Spas in Jackson

From the outside, Social Agenda Salon and Boutique looks traditional. It's housed in a white bungalow marked with a wide picture window and bright-blue awning, surrounded by trees and greenery. But inside, a team of professional beautifiers ardently pores over the latest trends. Stylists coil and cut locks into diverse looks, from edgy pixie cuts textured with crimped pieces to vintage-inspired dos and intricate braids. Nail techs brighten fingertips with no-chip Shellac and a rainbow of OPI shades that make hands stand out like a penguin at a nightclub for polar bears.

Inside the studio, the team keeps things homey and relaxed. While they wait, visitors indulge in a handful of freshly popped popcorn, a mug of coffee, or a cold Coke, or stroll around the back patio to enjoy complimentary views of the sky.

Led by Leslie Jetton Tullos, 1994's Miss Mississippi USA, Beautiful Image of Jackson's skilled technicians help clients to maintain a youthful look with fusions of microcurrent technology and elastin therapy, free of the pain associated with surgery or injections. Treatments infuse the skin with gentle microcurrents—set to a level similar to the body's natural electrical current to keep from tripping cellular fuse-boxes—that work to improve circulation, hydrate skin, and draw an elastin-boosting serum to the deepest layers of the epidermis.

Each session helps to lift and tone muscles and aid in the reduction of fat, cellulite, and stretch marks. Unencumbered by any downtime, patients bound back home or to the office without any redness, ready to flaunt amplified loveliness in their next snapshots or family daguerreotypes.

Those looking for custom color perfectly suited to their skin tone will feel right at home within Sun Gallery, which won Jackson Free Press' "Best Tanning Salon of Jackson" in 2010, 2011, and 2012. At either of their impeccably clean studios, friendly tanning experts help clients attain their best-ever bronze thanks to a unique rotational method that guides them through three levels of beds with differing intensities. When used in a specific rotational pattern, the method helps build a longer-lasting, natural-looking glow that builds gradually, creating an even suntan, avoiding burns, and increasing the natural production of Vitamin D.

Airbrush services lend ephemeral shading for special events or the UV-shy. Unlike some studios where the spray tans are performed by machines, Sun Gallery's are performed by real airbrush experts who spray it on by hand, ensuring a glow that is streak-less and customized to each customer's contours in only 30 minutes.

A phoenix that rose from the ashes of two former spas, Breeze Day Spa and Airbrush Tanning unites these aestheticians in a new home where they continue to pamper clients with a full array of spa services. The experts renew visages with microdermabrasion treatments, gussy up nails with bright coats of polish, and employ airbrush tanning to help clients acquire a golden hue before heading to the beach to challenge crabs to a crab-walking race.
