North Little Rock, AR Beauty and Salons

Bulging blue eyes hover above a growling mouth and drooping nose. Though SkinStar Laser Med Spa caters to all types of patients with various laser treatments and spa services, this face isn't actually there for a treatment. It belongs to one of the colorful cubist paintings hanging around the office. Along with Zebra-printed accents, this fun and funky decor backdrops four technicians as they restore complexions and silhouettes with laser hair, vein, and tattoo removal, fractional laser skin rejuvenation, and Lipo-Ex treatments. Dr. Karen Kozlowski leads the comptent team of technicians which include Lipo-ex specialists, Angela Lawrence and Sabrina Smith, their on-site massage therapist, Sissy, and Nurse Hazel who administers botox and dysport injections.

Raye & Company Salon's tight-knit team of five stylists and one manicurist tend to the appearances of their clientele. During a preappointment consultation, a stylist explains any home maintenance or open-air convertible rides that a hairstyle may require. The coiffure artists favor products by Matrix, Biomega, and Coppola Designer Hair Care and use the styling aids to smooth hair texture, add highlights, or craft classic styles.

Waxing services keep pelts smooth, and mani-pedis keep nail beds healthy and sculpted. Men can also stop by to have their manes and mustaches trimmed or fluffed. Outside of business hours, the quintet of beauty specialists participates in charity events. Recently, the group appeared at a Race for the Cure function and facilitated a donation to the Humane Society.

The beauty experts at Statement Salon, Spa and Fitness create a bustling sanctuary where clients can enjoy a host of relaxing services. As hairstylists snip and color strands, aestheticians man private spa rooms, where they dole out seaweed facials and microdermabrasion treatments and enhance peepers with eyelash extensions or brow waxes. Nail technicians pamper fingers and toes with indulgent manicures and pedicures, and tanning technicians spray clients with a bronzing mist to prepare bodies for the beach or a career as a human trophy. Separated from the beauty mayhem in the salon, experienced instructors host personal-training sessions and group Zumba, boot-camp, and yoga classes in Statement's spacious, wood-floored fitness studio.

Body Contour Boutique, a physician-supervised med spa, stocks its treatment rooms with the latest beauty-boosting technology. Its highly trained staff specializes in fat reduction and body contouring. Among the staff's favorite systems, the FDA-approved Zeltiq CoolSculpting treatment freezes fat cells to banish hard-to-shed pounds or beat the summer heat. The team also caters to exteriors with wrinkle-smoothing Botox injections, chemical peels, microdermabrasion, and light therapy.

Galvanic Spa & Tan helps bodies glow with a combination of infrared heat, light therapy, and tanning treatments. Its Formostar infrared body wraps burn calories and contour curves, and its red-light therapy smoothes fine lines and wrinkles produced by aging or letting your face air dry. Bodies glow further with the center’s tanning beds or spritzes of Magic Tan 3000 formula—which bronzes without sun exposure—as well as teeth-whitening services.

At Prevail Day Spa, Amanda Yarbrough calls on more than six years of experience and gentle, natural beauty serums to revitalize her clients’ skin. She treats pores to products from Éminence Organic Skin Care, a line that avoids harmful chemicals and animal byproducts in favor of fresh fruit pulps, exotic spices, and a hug in every bottle. A lineup of facials addresses nearly any skin concern, helping to tighten sagging skin or lessen hyperpigmentation. In addition to restoring skin cells, Yarbrough purges unwanted hair with a 100% natural sugar serum, and she gives eyes an aesthetic boost with lash and brow tinting. Many of the products that Yarbrough uses are hypoallergenic and chemical-free so that the most sensitive skin can benefit from her services.
