Beauty & Spas in New Baltimore

When patients enter Dr. Mary Sue Stonisch’s office, she can give them straight, white teeth within minutes—or at least the appearance of straight, white teeth. Her Smile Now technology creates a custom covering that looks like a row of teeth, which she then places over patients’ real teeth to show the potential results from her many cosmetic-dentistry services.

Equipped with such inventive tools, a degree from the University of Detroit Mercy School of Dentistry, and an accreditation fromthe American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry, Dr. Stonisch beautifies teeth at Faircourt Dental Smile Enhancement Studio. She and her staff whiten enamel, treat TMJ, and vanquish bacteria during laser cleanings. Their office resembles a spa, with complimentary beverages and aromatic scents that complement heated neck pillows—a more achievable way to warm one’s neck than getting put in a headlock by the Human Torch.

Chili Pepper's Tanning Inc. Megastores’ trophy case is getting full—in addition to being named one of Detroit’s best tanning salons three times in a row by CityVoter, it has acquired accolades from Local 4 and CBS Detroit, which commends its spray tanning. Its growing awards reflect Chili Pepper’s growth; since opening in 2002, Chili Pepper’s has expanded to 15 locations, spreading across Detroit like the buffalo pox.

In every location, five levels of tanning beds turn skin a sun-kissed gold or deep bronze. Mystic Tan sessions let customers avoid things associated with booth and outdoor tanning—UV rays and pool lifeguards who push you in the water to practice saving you. No matter which option they choose, patrons can turn to knowledgeable Smart Tan–certified staff members who help clients decide what is best for their tanning goals.

The team at Miracle Browz has one objective in mind: to help clients enhance their beauty naturally. They specialize in eyebrow threading, but also provide treatments such as organic sugar waxing, traditional henna tattoos, and therapeutic facials that incorporate antioxidants, grape botanicals, and saffron. Facial treatments are customized to target each client's needs, treating skin ailments that range from acne and hyperpigmentation to signs of aging and stress-induced second noses.

Staffed by a highly trained team of physicians, registered nurses, and medical aestheticians, Eastside Skin Care & Laser Center works to keep faces and physiques youthful with a suite of aesthetic services. Each visit kicks off with a personalized consultation before technicians perform Botox injections, spider-vein treatments, and skits about the discovery of laser hair removal by a clumsy CD-drive technician.

Dr. Bhanu J. Shah helps men and women to improve their looks with Ageless Spa Medica’s full menu of cosmetic services. Her team of aestheticians rejuvenates skin, removes unruly hair, and sculpts bodies using lasers, injectable fillers, and minimally invasive liposuction. For home skincare regimens, Ageless Spa Medica sells dermatologist-formulated cleansers, exfoliators, anti-aging products, and anti-growing-up serums.

People use their hands in different ways, which makes it hard to find a single style of manicure that fits mitts universally. That’s why the nail technicians of Thumbs Up To You tailor their service menu to meet a wide range of needs, working around sensitive skin with odor-free fiberglass nails or offering chip-resistant Shellac polish for fingers facing long days of typing, chopping, or digging moats by hand. The shop also caters to busy schedules, offering no-frills fix ups such as quick polish changes or dry manicures to keep tips looking chic between services.
