Beauty & Spas in North Miami

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.

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.

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.

Exclusively Men's is an upscale salon that specializes in the cutting-edge aesthetic of the Y-chromosome. Dapper, style-seeking gents are invited to sit back and relax as their faceparts are pampered and follicles are expunged by a skilled, razor-wielding professional. The Royal Shave includes a hot-towel shave, royal mask, and facial massage to leave your skin as soft as a baby's silk diaper.

During a variety of services, the technicians at West Kendall Aesthetic and Laser Center employ the latest cosmetic technologies to revitalize clients’ skin. A Candela laser glides over the surface to remove unwanted hair and reduce the appearance of unsightly spider veins, and the Selphyl system stimulates the production of natural plasma throughout the bloodstream, helping to trigger the increased production of new collagen. The staff also can treat conditions such as acne and rosacea and customize microdermabrasion treatments and peels to slough away the wallpaper obscuring the face’s natural shine.

Esthetique's technicians employ a battery of noninvasive devices and solutions to enhance beauty by smoothing and resurfacing skin. Aestheticians administer alpha-hydroxy-acid peels to remedy brown marks or deeply exfoliate with diamond microdermabrasions that even facial texture and fade fine lines. For cheeks battling sieges of blemishes, LED blue-light acne treatments gradually banish clusters of stubborn pimples back to the sinister oil dimension from whence they came. Laser hair removal defoliates follicles from the upper lip to the legs, and VelaShape treatments provide subterranean smoothing by eliminating cellulite and tightening sagging skin on the thighs and buttocks.
