Beauty & Spas in Kingston

When beautifying the heads and bodies of his clientele, Yetmir Keqa of Salon Yetmir draws from eastern European roots, an apprenticeship at James Brett Coiffure, and a natural stockpile of dry wit and sincerity that helps to ease minds. During hair services for men, women, and youth, Mr. Keqa caters to his subjects' personalities and penchants for auditioning for shampoo commercials, using products by Davines and colour infused with milk protein. Facials and massages soothe away stress and brighten countenances, and mani-pedis leave extremities ready for first-impression handshakes. While clients admire glossy black treatment chairs and full-length, thick-bordered mirrors, they sip a complimentary macchiato that lightens the mood and keeps hair awake long enough to say goodbye to its split ends.

Tucked away inside the Limestone City Sport & Spine Clinic, Viola European Esthetics Studio chases a single, simple mission—to make clients feel better. With a 20-year industry veteran and staff beautician Violetta Dudek at its helm, the studio performs an extensive list of rejuvenating services, including deep-cleansing facials, Japanese manicures, eyelash extensions, and electrolysis. Each begins with a consultation in order to tailor treatment to the client's needs, and the studio can even use a high-resolution computer skin analyzer to pinpoint collagen quality and check skin for spyware.

The shear-wielding team at Studio 7 trades in bedraggled 'dos for chic, stylish manes tailored to their clients' faces and lifestyles. Their portfolio speaks to their love of shaping on-trend cuts and staying abreast of modern fashions, including the same feather extensions that spies use to infiltrate pigeons' nests. The professionals happily tackle the tangled tresses of men and children, covering grey with colour rinses or adding a little grey to help kindergartners look a little more distinguished.

The skin therapists at Solace Tanning & Esthetics cater to clients' beauty needs with advanced products, from body sugar for hair removal to Dermalogica facials free of dyes, fragrances, and fillers. Their strict adherence to proper health-care and cleaning practices leave clients to relax at ease.

Within the calming green walls at Soothing Oasis Spa, a team of certified aestheticians maintain a tranquil oasis in the midst of a hectic world, helping clients reduce stress and refresh bods with head-to-toe pampering services. They nix unwanted patches of hair with the help of warm wax, festoon nails in brilliant hues during mani-pedis, and help faces regain long-ago looks via anti-aging facials.

Agape Day Spa blends the serenity of traditional spa services with the cosmetic punch of med-spa treatments. Swedish, deep-tissue, and hot-stone massages soothe muscles, while Glo chemical peels tend to the layers of skin or duct-taped garbage bags that cover them. The spa's Glo makeup dresses faces in the pigments of pulverized minerals augmented with pharmaceutical-grade ingredients designed to protect skin.
