Beauty & Spas in Oneida

With six manicures and seven pedicures in their arsenal, the skilled staffers at FRESH Nail Lounge and Spa lavish hands and feet with treatments that rely on products from Creative Nail Design, Essie, and OPI, and prioritize safety and hygienic practices. But they don’t stop at nail treatments—they call upon botanical ingredients to soothe and beautify faces and bodies. Saint john’s wort aids green and white teas to soothe mugs during the classic European express facial, and seaweed detoxifies bodies and boosts circulation during a wrap, which doubles as means to disguise oneself as a spicy tuna roll.

The aestheticians at New You Skin Solutions and Massage focus on doing one thing, and doing it well: skincare. Their expertise in wrinkles, acne, and sun spots yields custom treatments that range from basic facials to anti-aging masks. In addition to these classic spa offerings, the professionals have embraced contemporary technology. Microcurrent treatments, microdermabrasion, and both red- and blue-light therapies lessen the appearance of laugh lines and frown lines obtained from watching a clown throw a cream pie then realizing that was your cream pie. The experts renew skin amid the soothing taupes and creams of private rooms, which also set the stage for the spa’s massage therapists, who relieve aching muscles with Swedish, deep-tissue, and prenatal massages. Small additions such as hot stones or paraffin hand treatments augment the pampering sessions.

Dermatologist Dr. Jeffrey R. LaDuca and the team at Reflections strive to ensure their clients have all the facts about their cosmetic services. To that end, the beauty specialists offer free consultations to educate and enlighten those interested in injectable, chemical, and laser-driven procedures. Their expertise helps people choose the most suitable way to fight signs of aging on the face or cellulite on the body, and to address medical conditions such as rosacea, psoriasis, or human scales. The clinic's skincare boutique is stocked with pharmaceutical-grade products such as SkinCeuticals serums and lotions, along with mechanized at-home cleansing systems.

Though his mind was filled with skepticism for chiro practice, his sinuses were filled with pollen. Tired of endlessly trying various physician-prescribed medications for his debilitating allergies, young James Dougherty finally turned to a chiropractor and, with the help of a few spinal adjustments, found relief from his allergies.

Now a chiropractic practitioner himself, Dr. Dougherty gives his patients the same care that worked for him. Using the diversified adjustment technique, he bolsters the body's natural healing abilities, helping his patients find relief from headaches, pain, and a wide range of ailments.
