Beauty & Spas in Lealman

Helmed by Dr. Eddie A. Ariss, Fresh Vitality's team of med-spa specialists coddles clients with a diverse slate of image-enhancing services. With a background in anti-aging, bariatric, and aesthetic medicine, Dr. Ariss individually assesses each client before advising a treatment plan and personal theme song. Ariss and his practitioners then tend to silhouettes with procedures ranging from medical weight loss and hormone therapy to massage.

The stylists and aestheticians at Metro Hair Salon and Spa call on years of training and acclaimed beauty brands such as Sadoc, Alfaparf Milano, and Shellac to refine appearances from head to toe. Inside one of three cozy studios, staffers rejuvenate damage and smooth down frizzled follicles with deep-conditioning recovery treatments and Brazilian straightening techniques. Coif artisans carefully steer scissors through strands, cutting and styling hair to frame faces or bypass highly ticklish shoulders. The spa also indulges other bodily regions by dipping hands in silky paraffin, infusing facials with renewing caviar, and unearthing tension with focused deep-tissue massages.

Helena Sheeley has been beautifying clients for more than 16 years, developing a special passion for manicures and pedicures. Her signature cookie-dough pedicures treat feet to a sweet rubdown that includes a soak in a milk bath and a snack of milk and cookies. Clients emerge from appointments with stunning pink-and-white acrylics, bold designs, or basic but beautiful nails. Helena coats nails in OPI polish or Shellac gel shades, which last up to 14 days without chipping due to daily activities or temp jobs at the Scratch-'n'-Sniff factory.

Hardwood floors and pastel-yellow walls highlight Salon Pearl's charming beautification space, inside of which a team of stylists and colorists work closely with clients to design well-suited hairdos. In addition to basic cuts, Salon Pearl spiffs up hair with treatments such as Brazilian blowouts, perms, and special-occasion up-dos. Patrons can pop over to a color-experts chair, where all-over color, touchups, and special multidimensional highlights make strands pop like a punching bag filled with soda cans.

Strawberry margarita, key lime pie, and morning coffee—at In'Dulgence Nail Spa, the nail technicians serve these sweet treats to feet in a soothing array of spa pedicures. They also tend to hands with acrylics, gel fills, and CND products, including shellac polish, which stays chip-free for up to two weeks. Many of the manicures and pedicures harness the restorative powers of essential oils, and technicians can add-on extras including exfoliating scrubs and paraffin treatments. Though they're mostly focused on hands and feet, the staff also waxes away unwanted hair from faces, bodies, and overgrown bear-skin rugs.
