Beauty & Spas in Jenison

La Bella Hair Studio's salon floor buzzes with a lively symphony of blow-dryers and chatter as the team of stylists works diligently to weave extensions, design haircuts, and paint in color to suit each clients' needs. Before laying hands on hair, the stylists consult with clients to determine hair's type, condition, daily routines, and number of chewing-gum incidents. The stylists then set about meeting beauty goals with the help of haircare products from Redken, Paul Mitchell, Biolage, and Pureology. For clients prepping for a wedding, La Bella’s staff also offers customizable packages that can be performed in the salon or on-location.

Nestled inside Eclipse Salon Suites, Just Teasin' Hair Studio owner Leanne Hawley pulls from American Crew styling products and tea-tree shampoos to update 'dos for men, women, and children. After getting to know her clients and determining their style and preferences, she deftly snips locks to flatter each face. In addition to cutting coifs, Leanne also douses strands with a fresh coat of color or adds dimension and depth with highlights, lowlights, and black lights.

The Nail Room’s Ellen Idema has beautified thousands, maybe even gazillions, of nails over her 24-year career. Working from inside the Healthy Life Spa, Ellen slaps shellac polish onto fingernails, coats toenails in brightly hued OPI polishes, or covers keratin sheets with acrylics. She also hand files each nail for a natural thin appearance similar to a light pole flattened by a bright pink anvil.

The team at Michigan Beauty Institute, which is affiliated with Clyde Park Chiropractic, focuses on noninvasive therapies that leave skin looking younger. Microcurrent facials stimulate muscles and surrounding tissues, and ultrasonic and radio-frequency liposuction treatments break down fat and cellulite. The crew also offers elastin-infusion therapy, a cosmetic procedure that was originally used to help wounded soldiers heal more quickly and with less scarring. The cell-renewal therapy is designed to turn back the hands of time by up to two years, or the average duration of a microdermabrasion treatment on the Statue of Liberty.

As a high-school student, Nicolle would regularly host girls' nights that led to her lending out the latest shoes, accessories, and clothing from her personal closet. After spending years styling friends, she reignited her passion for beauty in the mid-'90s by starting a mobile boutique that would roll up to clients' homes on evenings and weekends. After about a decade of leading a double life—she was still an executive administrative assistant by day—Nicolle put all her eggs in one basket and opened Style Me BeYOUtiful by JNicolle & Company in 2005. The beauty multiplex encompasses numerous separate suites, each of which features fixtures, tools, and music specifically designed for services ranging from hairstyling to nail treatments to massages. Staying true to its owner's roots in onsite beauty services, JNicolle & Company also sends out a mobile style team to bring beautifying skills and nods of approval to events, weddings, and homes.
