Beauty & Spas in Los Alamos

Stylist Nina Aragon grew up in a family of five cosmetologists and has carried on the tradition for more than two decades. With cuts and styles featured in American Salon magazine and extensive training from seasoned stylists as well as from Bumble and bumble, she aims to enhance the natural beauty of her clients in sessions that are both productive and soothing.

At La Piel Medi-Spa, vampire therapy isn’t a program to help you cope with life amongst the undead; instead, it uses your own blood to give your face a more youthful appearance. The procedure begins as a staffer draws your blood and separates it with a centrifuge. The resulting fluid is then used as a natural filler to address the telltale signs of aging: brows covered in wrinkles, eyes ringed by dark circles, and lips that still say “gams” and “sock hop.” All of La Piel’s treatments⎯including laser hair removal, Botox, and microdermabrasion⎯serve this same aesthetic purpose and are overseen by certified family nurse practitioner Carla Franco. Carla has more than 26 years of nursing experience, having worked in such fields as cardiology, urgent care, and clinical research.
