Beauty & Spas in La Grange Park

Although the hair, makeup, and eyelash-extension services that Lati and her team of stylists perform at The Bridal Beauty Salon are geared toward blushing brides, they’ve also gone beyond the aisle to grace the glossy pages of ChicagoStyle Weddings and Inspire magazines. Whether in preparation for a wedding or a just-because service, the staff crafts their media-worthy styles in an elegant studio surrounded by dappled taupe walls and gold-framed mirrors, giving clients a more relaxing beautification session than napping in a butterfly preserve while doused in nectar. True to their bridal focus, the team also emerges beyond the salon walls to perform on-location beauty services. Each appointment serves a greater purpose, as the business donates a portion of all proceeds to PAWS Chicago, a no-kill animal shelter.

The technicians at TG Nail Salon can dress up nails with nearly any type of manicure, including french, acrylic, and no-chip versions that resist wear and tear for up to two weeks. During pedicures, they massage legs with an exfoliating scrub before applying colorful coats of OPI or Essie polish to toenails. Additionally, hot-towel massages and waxing services keep skin smoother than a silk pillowcase stuffed with Kenny G.

Founded by the Jackson sisters—Meredith, a cosmetologist, and Sara, an acupuncturist—Mera Natural Hair & Body was built on the philosophy that beauty and health blossom from the inside. Both Jacksons’ skill sets are showcased inside their earth-toned spa, where crystal chandeliers and potted plants create a luxe backdrop for natural and organic beautification treatments. Media outlets such as Time Out Chicago and Popsugar have praised the spa for its services, which include holistic remedies such as eastern bodywork and cupping as well as cosmetic acupuncture, salon services, and facials that employ ultrasound, microcurrent, and herbal therapy.
