Beauty & Spas in North Miami Beach

Under the direction of chief medical officer Dr. Hugo Romeu, the med spa steers patients toward their most confident selves with a range of treatments. The staff takes years off of faces with chemical peels, photorejuvenation, and Botox injections, and renders smoother physiques with seaweed body wraps and salt scrubs. Licensed massage therapists use deft strokes to untangle knots during Swedish or deep-tissue sessions, leaving muscles as loose as a buttered doorknob. To fuel at-home pampering, the spa stocks their shelves with a full line of Derma Skin professional products.

Each carefully selected team member at Illusion Skin Care is a licensed expert in his or her field. The staff uses its knowledge to tailor treatments to clients' specific needs, customizing the pressure of fragrant aromatherapy massages and personalizing facials, chemical peels, and microdermabrasion treatments to address various skincare issues. The staff also performs relaxing spa services such as body wraps that leave skin smooth and gel manicures that ready fingers for handshakes with fancy diplomats.:

The team at Nails 111 believes in "good, clean fun," combining a health-conscious philosophy with a charming, shabby-chic ambiance. Antique-style tables and chairs, chandeliers, and lilac walls create an 18th-century-parlor vibe as nail techs wash and sanitize hands and set aside an individual spa kit for each guest. They wear latex gloves upon request and eschew spa chairs and whirlpool-type footbaths in favor of disposable pedicure tub liners. The crew decorates nails with Essie, OPI, or Shellac polish and also performs sleek blowouts and straightening treatments at the Blow and Go hair bar.

The salon was created by internationally trained beauty expert and Lima, Peru, native Marizza Contreras and Miami native Jonathan Nussbaum, who was inspired by a girlfriend's frustration the lack of nail salons open after 7 p.m. Nails 111 staffers refine digits until 9 p.m. Monday–Saturday, making late-night manicures possible for owls wishing to impress their prey.

After watching several of her relatives, including her grandmother, fight cancer, Terry Tribble noticed that many stores geared toward women fighting cancer had an impersonal, industrial feel. When she opened her own shop, she wanted to create a boutique feel where women like her grandmother could feel pampered. She stocks her shop with rows of fashionable wigs, colorful accessories, and post-mastectomy products. As a certified mastectomy fitter with hundreds of hours of training, she offers expert advice to help women reclaim their curves with confidence.

To restore brows lost during cancer treatments or save women the hours lost to putting on their face, she also applies permanent makeup, lining lips and eyes as well. Her skills recently earned accolades on the LiveWell Network's show Mirror/Mirror.

"You want it to be more natural," she says. "When you wake up Monday morning, you don't want to look like you're going out to the club. I specialize in bringing out that natural beauty."

Terry's boutique is painted in bright red and yellow hues, and she's scattered butterflies throughout. To her, they represent transformation. "When my clients walk in the door, they feel like a caterpillar," she says. "When they walk out, I want them to feel like a butterfly."

Helmed by medical director Dr. Victor Shabanah, a specialist in hormone replacement and age-management medicine, Anti Aging Med Spa whittles waists and smoothes skin planes with traditional surgery and noninvasive laser- and LED-light treatments. Inside a sleek, white office with views of the Miami River, Dr. Shabanah draws on an arsenal of weight-loss techniques, including metabolism-boosting hCG and physician-assisted programs. Lasers take a break from slowly eroding the moon to battle obesity, blemishes, and cellulite with Med Spa's skincare laser treatments. Dr. Shabanah also beautifies frames with a trio of cosmetic services and nonsurgical skin-refreshing treatments, such as Juvéderm injections and IPL photofacials.

The licensed aestheticians at Rose Face & Body Contour draw on more than 30 years of combined local and overseas experience to enhance appearances and help clients stay abreast of current cosmetic trends. The skin-focused team attacks uneven complexions and blemishes from all angles with a slew of anti-aging treatments, specialized peels, and deep-reaching exfoliation measures, including microdermabrasion. For bodies that can’t seem to shrink after exercise, dieting, and sleeping in sardine cans, nonsurgical liposuction and body contouring offer less invasive alternatives to traditional medical procedures.
