Beauty & Spas in Merritt Island

In the comfort of their cozy Perfectious Tatu studio, Cheryl and Gayle use a safe pigmentation technique known as hairline stroke to mimic the appearance of eyelashes and eyebrows. Both women are licensed and certified, adhering to the strict hygiene and sterilization guidelines set forth by OSHA, as well as the CDC. Clients may also request a permanent lip-liner application or solicit the studio's all-natural saline-based solution during a specialty tattoo-removal session.

Complexions Center for Clinical Skin Care and Permanent Makeup revitalizes wearied faces with chemical peels, microdermabrasion, and dermaplaning. The center's repertoire of services includes chemical peels designed to treat acne or age-related blemishes. Specially concocted to the unique color, oiliness, and acne proclivities of each client’s skin, the acne peel bathes epidermises in alpha- and beta-hydroxy acids to usurp transgressing layers of skin and eliminate surface pimples. The anti-aging peel's glycolic acid exfoliates skin and stimulates new collagen growth, thickening skin and banishing pigmentation and fine lines caused by sun damage, and requires no recovery time or sacrifices of pricey organic produce to the sun. Microdermabrasion exfoliates skin's surface with microcrystals and promotes cell growth while treating enlarged pores and age spots. Dermaplaning carefully shaves away skin cells that, like a mall Santa still accepting wish lists in July, have overstayed their welcome, resulting in a smoother, tighter appearance with fewer wrinkles and clearer pores.

A dual-function facility, Lady Jay’s Tanning and Boutique bronzes bodies with spray- and UV-tanning services. Its four reclining and standup tanning beds imitate the sun, gently infusing the skin with a controlled amount of UV waves to create an even tan. Similarly, Mystic spray tanning gives the skin a golden glow, but with an artificial formula designed to last up to one week. A choice of four colors can turn the skin up to five shades darker and aloe vera moisturizers keep it smooth and supple.

Dr. Christopher Meyer deals in two worlds—the cosmetic and the medical—and he draws from both when treating problem veins. He used to become frustrated when he heard that people with varicose and spider veins were having difficulty finding treatment, as many caregivers deemed the problem a purely aesthetic one. So he took up work at Florida Vein Care Specialists, where he now administers treatments such as VenaCure EVLT, a laser-based procedure, to eradicate veins in the interest of his clients' health and confidence. The noninvasive treatment sends laser energy through a small fiber that heats and seals off the vein. Each session takes about 30 minutes, and requires no downtime for the patient, who can walk around immediately after the appointment.

Natural light floods through the salon's floor-to-ceiling front windows, reflecting off of hardwood floors, elegant silver mirrors, and soothing taupe walls. Amid these cozy accents, skilled hair stylists do everything from snip away split ends to engineer flattering color highlights. Guests may also slide into a comfortable leather chair for a facial wax, or retreat to a private room for a one of the specialty anti-aging facial treatments.
