Beauty & Spas in Mountain View

At Salon Fantasy, guests unwind at hair stations equipped with LCD TVs and free WiFi. Haircare services cultivate up-to-date coiffures with spiral-wave treatments and japanese thermal straightening. When arm hair loses its novelty, aesthetes can permanently dock locks by means of electrolysis in 15-minute increments. A menu of luscious skincare services encompasses quick facials, an anti-aging treatment, and body waxing.

The aesthetic professionals at Salon Elizabeth treat skincare as an art as well as a science, wielding advanced products from Repêchage, Cellex-C, DermaQuest Skin Therapy, and glo therapeutics. Over the span of two decades, the staff has cultivated a peaceful environment in which to perform skin-revitalization treatments and break the news to their parents that MTV no longer plays music videos. In private treatment rooms, they help clients erase signs of aging with medical therapies such as IPL photo-facials, biosonic microdermabrasion, and alpha-hydroxy acid peels, as well as spa therapists such as European, herbal-enzyme, and vitamin C-infused anti-aging facials. They also tone whole bodies with seaweed wraps, tangerine-lavender scrubs, infrared sauna sessions, and therapeutic massages.

As purveyors of all-over wellness, the staff at Mind Of Beauty Day Spa divides their attention between relaxing massage therapy and rejuvenating skincare treatments. Therapists soothe sore muscles with rhythmic pressure during acupressure and shiatsu sessions and target specific points on the feet during reflexology massages designed to promote health throughout the entire body. The spa’s aestheticians also keep busy, nourishing complexions with a variety of facials that include microdermabrasion treatments and nonsurgical facelifts. A full menu of facial and body waxing treatments keeps skin surfaces free of hair and parasitic barnacles thanks to the swift work of a warm resin wax.

The stylists at Salon Vie Jehe—overseen by owner Rezi Zare, an internationally trained master stylist—draw upon their up-to-date schooling to design hairdos that mirror each client's unique image. Each haircut appointment begins with a consultation, during which stylists outline a fashionable style based on the client's features. From there, they bring the style to life with the help of Privé organic haircare products, scissors, and skeins of yarn. Inside the modern-minimalist salon, where angled ceilings apex above dangling globe lamps and chic furnishings, the staff also performs coloring and straightening treatments, makeup applications, and nail services.

For more than 27 years, California Skin Care & Day Spa owner Elena Aleteanu has navigated the world to collect Russia's, France's, Germany's, and Dolly Parton's best-kept cosmetic secrets for use at her own spa. Elena lavishes her clients with beautifying body wraps and nutrient-laden body masks, and her spa's spray tans give bodies a healthy glow. Elena's team also applies permanent makeup, doles out massages, and administers eye-catching manicures and pedicures.

Attention to detail separates Le JJ Belle Pedicure from its fellow salons and spas. The staff understand the power of peace of mind, so they use glass sinks without any of the standard spa fixtures in which bacteria might establish footholds, such as jets, filters, tubes, and petri dishes. With that same sense of cleanliness, they carry out an array of manicures, pedicures, and waxing services. For instance, during deluxe chocolate mani-pedis, technicians soak feet in a warm milk-and-honey blend. They then apply hawaiian chocolate body sand to eliminate dry skin before finishing with a dark-chocolate moisturizing cream.
