Orange Spa and Massage

The experienced staff at Nova Vita Salon and Spa banishes hair from delicate epidermal regions with quick and effective waxing sessions. Clients recline as a skin-smoothing specialist paints skin with warm wax and uproots hair in a fluid motion reminiscent of a segway barreling down newly waxed floors. Post-waxing, smoothed skin can don skimpy bikinis without fear of stubble or straggling hairs making an appearance. Regular waxing can erode and damage hair follicles over time, dispiriting them until they've given up their dreams of future hair growth and admittance into '80s hair bands. Clients must redeem both waxing sessions within 60 days of activation, streamlining the benefits of satiny smoothness.

Latisse is an FDA-approved prescription drug that was developed to treat inadequate eyelash growth; be sure to carefully review the safety information on the Latisse website. If Celibre's experienced medical professionals and beauty wranglers decide after your initial consultation that the Latisse treatment is not suited for you, a full refund will be offered, or you can use the $99 you spent for the Groupon toward another service at the office. Celibre's eyelash consultants can spot a Latisse candidate from across the street—though they conduct a comprehensive exam attentive to your individual needs and eyelash dreams just for the fun of it.

Celebrity aesthetician Leaine Dehmer describes herself as a “skin behaviorist.” Whether crafting her own professional line of skincare products or tending to clients with massages, facials, skin peels, or body exfoliations, she seems to intuitively know the components of a healthy, radiant complexion. You don’t have to take her word for it, though; Leaine’s reputation recently received a boost when her services were included in each of the celebrity swag bags handed out at the 2012 Academy Awards.

Regardless of their box-office draw, guests from all walks of life can indulge in the roster of relaxing services at Leaine’s Skinsations Spa, many of which derive their powers from natural or organic products. Private treatment rooms lull clients into relaxation with such calming touches as scented candles. Cascading waterfalls flood the rooms with amber light, while drifting moisture clings softly to the skin like a baby kitten in wet mittens.

Permanent makeup artist Tahara Asad doesn’t want her clients to be nervous. She realizes the enduring nature of the service can make people apprehensive, so she always performs first-time applications conservatively to ensure that the initial results aren’t too drastic. Her soft, custom-blended colors complement lips, brows, and eyelines naturally, but if clients decide they want more saturation they have a 90-day window to have their makeup darkened at minimal cost.

Tahara, who is also a licensed aesthetician with more than 20 years of experience, takes equal care in administering her skincare treatments, which range from basic European facials to advanced glycolic peels. She urges all brides to schedule the galvanic facial the day before their wedding, as its amino acids, minerals, and mask imbue skin with a mesmerizing glow that causes caterers to forget to ask for money.

Like bonsai trees, eyebrows require loving attention and skilled care if they're to shade a face with beautiful good fortune. The talented brow artists at Vinita's Beauty and Threading Studio won the 2009 honors of Best Cheap Brow Job from Los Angeles magazine. The cleanly kept salon utilizes safe and sanitary threading practices to quickly shape and exfoliate the brow without using chemical solutions or hot wax. Threading is a gently administered ancient art that lasts longer than other shaping techniques and won't leave you with sore side effects such as bumping and redness. Skilled brow stylists rave that the technique gives them more control than waxing and delivers a more precise look.

At Indulgence Day and Med Spa, founder and world traveler Wendy Dye tends to aesthetic needs using experience and knowledge gained from her time spent living in England and Japan and her extensive treks to countries including Egypt and India. Nestled in an Old-World European setting, her spa’s staff includes a registered nurse, acupuncturist, and a handful of licensed skincare professionals and massage therapists who stand ready to perform everything from skin-soothing facials and body treatments to hand-applied airbrushed tans. Before or after treatment, clients can relax with a glass of wine in one of 10 treatment rooms or peruse a selection of professional skincare lines, jewelry, and pocket-sized aestheticians inside the spa boutique.
