Beauty & Spas in Modesto

Joseph’s Hair Designs ensures its stylists stay au courant with the latest techniques for crafting chic new looks to flatter all kinds of faces. Attentive stylist Ashlee begins with a consultation to assess her clients' most fondly held hairstyle wishes before cleansing tresses and artfully shaping overgrown locks into keratin-based masterpieces ($18 for men; $30 for women). Joseph’s mane tamers employ Enzo Bonaffini's Bloom Shear, an exclusive three-bladed scissor that gives tresses a fashionable straight-razor sheared look while decreasing time spent on blowouts and otherwise forcing hair to say uncle. Clients may schedule any additional treatments, including color, weave, or blow-dry services, at a 15% discount, ensuring hair looks its best for your world-record attempt at longest french-braiding conga line.

At Serenity Face & Body, skin-savvy aestheticians have rejuvenated anatomies and their covers for more than a decade, employing an array of coddling techniques amid a floral motif. Designed to address each face’s particular conditions and each pore's desire to visit the Louvre, the one-hour European facial thoroughly cleanses, exfoliates, and steams the head’s bone blanket. If necessary, an aesthetician performs extractions to de-clog pores before assuaging the neck and shoulders with a tension-relieving massage. The facial wraps up with a refreshing mask and a moisturizer that leaves countenances as soft and brilliant as Stephen Hawking in a silk bathrobe.

Salon owner and stylist "Downtown" Laura Brown and her talented staff pamper guests from follicle to foot in a fun, inviting atmosphere in the heart of downtown Modesto. The salon's certified scissor wielders take their time to listen to their client's hairy desires and craft personalized cuts and colors. Prices for a cut start at $45 but vary depending on hair length, thickness, and stubbornness. The salon also offers all-over color ($55+), highlights ($65+), and tri weaves ($95+), although Starlite makeovers remain subject to the availability of rainbow-vapor dye. Get your priorities crooked with a perm ($65+), or drench thirsty tendrils with a deep-conditioning treatment ($30+). For a special night out on the town, ask the ladies at Valin for a blow-dry and style ($30+) with a makeup application ($35+). Though there is no such thing as a perfect shape in nature, brides and prom-goers can have hair sculpted into a sphere that's been calculated by multiplying pi by the cube of the radius then multiplying again by four and dividing by three.

The beauty of little ladies blossoms at Hollywood Princess, a party facility that hosts birthday galas, boutique soirees, and general revelry for girls aged 4–12.

Singer Katy Perry is known for her candy-colored makeup and over-the-top outfits; it only makes sense that her hairstyles should be just as attention-grabbing. One of the hairstyles she favors—peekaboo highlights that show from beneath layers of hair—are a specialty for Katalyn, a stylist at Mane Attraction Salon. Katalyn's other specialties include chic haircuts, ombre color, and microbead extensions. Smoothing keratin treatments keep hair looking sleek between appointments.
