Beauty & Spas in Ladson

At Polished 2 Paint 2 Nails, nail artist Pleshette melts away stresses and strains from hard-laboring digits with soothing manicures and pedicures, made all the more indulgent with extras such as a gentle massage or exfoliating sugar scrub. Her detailed and prismatic nail designs outfit digit hats with colorful tips, jaguar spots, and jewels, while basic coats of color can be made impenetrable by Gelish or Shellac polishes, which leave nails resistant to chips, fading, and late-night infomercial pitches. Pleshette is also joined by Teka, a nail technician and skin specialist who specializes in back treatments.

Upon entering the salon, newbies receive a tour of Tanning Oasis's relaxing environs, where a fleet of modern UV tanning beds and VersaSpa spray-tan booths forges bronzed bods. VersaSpa booths spritz clients with three different solutions to leave skin golden and hydrated without exposing it to UV rays. Physiques receive a triplet of treatments from a movable nozzle, which first distributes a skin primer to prep cells before setting limbs aglow with a bronzer and finally injecting each pore with a moisturizing formula. Level 1, 2, and 3 beds employ varying quantities of bulbs to darken skin in 10–15 minutes, whereas Level 4 beds cloak corpuses in a uniform sheen in about 60 seconds. Tanning Oasis's friendly staffers happily answer questions about tanning goals, skincare products, and how the themes of Macbeth relate to the current political climate.

Ohm Skin Care ushers relaxation seekers of both sexes into a soothing spa environment. The staff specializes in ancient Egyptian sugaring as a gentle means of hair removal, plucking unwanted fuzz from entire pelvic regions with Brazilian treatments for men and women. The spa's facials, peels, and LED therapies unveil the radiant sides of clients' kissers, and package appointments pamper bridal showers and sorority parties before weddings or high-stakes jewel heists. Free consultations, arranged with a preappointment phone call or telegram, ease any lingering concerns or questions.
