Beauty & Spas in Memphis

At Extravaganza's airbrush boutique, artistic technicians gently mist physiques with a bevy of services including tanning, makeup, tattoos, and hair coloring. Handheld devices spritz skin with botanical-infused and antioxidant-rich tanning solutions, bronzing bodies sans UV rays or trips to a beach filled with catcalling seagulls. The natural-looking glow lingers for up to 10 days and is concocted to complement each client’s skin type. Airbrush makeup sits evenly on the skin to cover blemishes and even out complexions for more than 18 hours, whereas airbrush tattoos pay temporarily homage to recently flushed goldfish.

Memphis's premier body-art studio and its resident artists can transform any plain-old stretch of skin into a magnificent mural upon man or the equivalent of fashion-forward permanent designer jeans and unremovable aviator sunglasses. A tattoo is not only a creative way to remove freckles by turning them into stars, but also a chance to commemorate milestones or express your individuality.

Dr. Mike Foster, a board-certified surgeon, keeps cool-headed watch over the team at DeSoto Laser Aesthetics as it delivers a roster of rejuvenating med-spa services. Brandishing late-model lasers and Victorian-era laser cozies, the medical aestheticians blast away all manner of blemish, from spider veins and body hair to tattoos and nail fungus, to treat every shade in the skin-tone choir. Nonlaser treatments include crease-fighting injectables and chemical peels, as well as ultrasonic Vaser liposuction. Patients relax in the clinic's olive-toned treatment rooms, admiring the framed floral prints on the walls as their physical flaws melt, vaporize, or crabwalk away.

Chandra Wilson frames eyes and enhances winks with NovaLash semipermanent extensions. Using medical-grade adhesive, she applies synthetic lashes to instantly amplify your appearance and the frequency of come-ons from companion-seeking butterflies. Semipermanent lashes can last for up to four weeks without a touchup; Chandra can also give eyes a different kind of confidence boost with cluster lashes that last two to three weeks. She works with hair, too, spreading beauty with cuts and color treatments.

Professional aesthetician Santricia Brownlee increases the smoothing effect with an array of waxing services. Thirty-minute French or Brazilian waxes evict fuzz from bikini lines for up to three weeks, and treatments on small areas tend to conclude in a scant 10 minutes.

The licensed nail technicians at Karina's Nails primp fingers and toes with name-brand beauty products from OPI, Orly, and Essie. Inside the salon, posters and a flat-screen TV splash black and white walls with subtle color as nail technicians cradle hands on comfy black cushions. During pedicures, bodies melt into plush upholstered chairs, each furnished with a whirlpool tub and a miniature lifeguard to prevent hazardous toe splash fights.
