Salons in Kalamazoo

Perfect Image Salon, an Aveda Concept salon, is concerned with taking that extra step to ensure that patrons feel pampered and are able to decompress from the outside world. That's why guests sip cups of complimentary tea, infused with peppermint and licorice root, as they wait for a waxing service or settle in for a shampoo, conditioning, and stress-relieving Blue Oil neck massage. The salon's custom facials, which utilize Aveda's plant-based products, always begin with a footbath, and their makeup products are made from ingredients such as Brazilian nut-seed pigment, cinnamon from Madagascar, and the tears of ripe berries with pure hearts.

To make each experience truly relaxing, Perfect Image Salon lets guests pick a complimentary service to enjoy during their visits: a soothing neck and shoulder massage, a hand massage, an aromatic steam towel during their shampoo, or a makeup touch-up at the end of the reservation

A picture of a serene pond dappled with water lilies seems to imbue the treatment room at Trocoa Skin Acumen with the calm of a woodland hideaway. Candles glow by the floral bedspread and the gray-green walls, chasing stress from clients' minds as aestheticians pamper skin with custom facials that treat a range of conditions. The Urban Renewal facial, for example, uses the powerful antioxidant vitamin C to reverse sun and environmental damage caused by bathing in radiation in order to gain superpowers. Fruit acids shrink blemishes during the Defiant Acne facial, and the sensitive-skin facial likewise channels natural ingredients, including chamomile and green tea.

Though the spa's staff members specialize in these examples of noninvasive skincare, they also administer chemical peels, waxing services, permanent makeup, and teeth-whitening treatments.

Aesthetician Brenda has been repairing problematic skin for nearly 30 years. Her facials—categorized as restorative, replenishing, and normalizing—gently combat everything from excess oil and dry patches to acne. She also has a special, corrective back treatment that exfoliates skin and extracts dirt from pores and wings.

Blue 302 transforms stressed skins and coifs with its rejuvenating salon treatments, all administered by a friendly, experienced staff. Those looking to tame wayward tresses without the expense of international boarding school can book a session with one of Blue 302’s skilled mane mavens, who expertly command strands into stylish shape with a sleek haircut and strand-relaxing Gregorian chants. Those looking to combat fine lines and wrinkles can opt for the ultrasounic facial, which uses a deep-cleansing treatment of high-frequency waves to smooth out face cracks, fissures, and active fault lines.

The stylists and nail technicians at New Reflections Salon operate on the premise that everyone deserves to feel beautiful. That’s why they don’t limit their menu of services to any one gender or age group—men, women, and children are equally welcome to sit down and relax amid the salon’s gauzy purple tapestries.

In addition to their basic hairstyling services, the staff waxes eyebrows and lips and further enhances complexions with natural mineral makeup. Not to be outdone by their counterparts, nail technicians tend to natural and acrylic nails with specialty treatments such as Shellac manicures and chocolate pedicures, the latter of which includes a chocolate body-butter foot massage and a soak in gooey fudge.

Befitting its name, Glow Skincare Studio strives to restore clients' youthful radiance with specialized spa treatments that reinvigorate aging skin. Customized facial treatments use aromatherapy oils and a gentle massage to create a thoroughly indulgent experience while the aesthetician cleanses, exfoliates, and hydrates the client's skin. Chemical peels dramatically improve tone and texture by unmasking the healthy layers of skin just beneath the surface, helping reduce the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, sun damage, and Sharpie mustaches. During body wrap treatments, clients rest within a cocoon of salves and balms that infuse skin with vital nutrients and minerals.
