Beauty & Spas in North Decatur

At Impulse Salon, stylists take the art of hair coloring to the next level with hydrating, ammonia-free Inoa color products, which they can use to paint freeform balayage highlights. Their range of color treaments reflects the team’s commitment to continuing education, which has kept the stylists abreast of the latest styling techniques and trends for more than a decade. With these skills in their respective repertoires, their handiwork has a modern feel, whether they are transforming looks with chic cuts or with straightening treatments more effective than commanding each strand to “make like a ruler.”

Touches of high-contrast décor create a chic boutique atmosphere at Platinum Currents, where aestheticians perform noninvasive treatments that produce Botox-like effects. As a preferred reseller of Image Skincare products, aestheticians use the line's IPeel chemical peels and paraben-free skincare regimes to restore faces' youthful luster. Each service comes with a complimentary zone-specific skin consultation, ensuring that all treatments have gentle, restorative effects on dry, oily, or paintball-smeared skin types.

Surrounded by tan walls and rich, chocolate-colored treatment beds, the licensed massage therapists and aestheticians at Facials N Such tend to each body's needs using natural botanical products. Owner Joretta King draws from more than 11 years of experience working in upscale spas in the metropolitan area. King joins her staff in pampering clients with specialty facials such as the Sweet Georgia Peach facial, with peach toner and a rejuvenating fruit mask, or the 24K Gold facial, which is performed with gold powder and silk extracts at the hands of highly trained mink. Full-body therapies include relaxing Swedish, deep-tissue, and sports massages and a unique Zodiac body scrub, which matches aromatic fruit oils and spices to the client's astrological sign.

Spider veins are not only a reason to avoid wearing shorts—they can be a symptom of more sinister circulatory problems. That’s why Dr. Ian Katz, a board-certified physician specializing in phlebology and sclerotherapy, offers three types of vein treatments, all of which help prevent future circulatory problems and remedy the appearance of spider and varicose veins. The first option is surgical removal, which Dr. Katz performs so precisely that patients typically don't even need stitches. Then there's sclerotherapy, the injection of a fluid that causes the vein to collapse and be absorbed back into the body. But perhaps the most intriguing technique—and Dr. Katz's specialty—is the VNUS closure procedure. The heat that this treatment's radiofrequency catheter generates closes off spider and varicose veins, reducing their exterior appearance and rerouting the blood they carry to healthier veins. The recovery process is simple; after the outpatient procedure, patients return to their normal routines within one to two days, and they see results after as little as one treatment. Following any of these treatments, patients may need to wear compression stockings for a time, but fortunately they don't have to resort to extreme measures, such as eating an apple every day.

Dr. L. Jack Cheng—a cosmetic physician and medical director at Atlanta Medical Institute—leads the LifeSpring Antiaging & Aesthetic Medicine team in smoothing skin and turning back facial clocks with a cadre of laser procedures and injectables. With an approach that emphasizes patient collaboration, Dr. Cheng precedes each treatment by listening to patients’ concerns and going over all treatment options. From there, he and the patient devise a regimen that might enlist lasers to remove hair, sun spots, or spider veins, or task Dysport or Juvéderm injections with filling out wrinkles and shar-pei Halloween masks.

By performing services with skill and finesse, Siggers Hairdressers' trend-wise stylists travel the world to stay up-to-date with fashion capitals’ latest trends and maintain Siggers' Intercoiffure membership for highly prized salons since 1977. When they aren't cutting, tinting, and straightening coifs, the team members sculpt elegant updos for weddings and primp hands and feet with mani-pedis. Siggers also specializes in balayage, a highlighting method that creates more natural-looking sun-kissed streaks. Stylists accomplish this look by painting each highlight by hand, moving from base to tip in a sweeping motion borrowed from Van Gogh's self portraits. Clients longing to boost their beauty quotient further can take makeup lessons with Suni, a makeup artist and educator who has spent 25 years working with celebrities and whose resumé boasts features on commercials, films, magazines, and TV’s Extreme Makeover.
