Oro Valley, AZ Beauty and Salons

Women can easily maintain both the shape and shade of their mane, starting with a haircut ($40–$50), followed by a single-process color ($50–$60), full highlight ($85–$90), or partial highlight ($70–$80) using products such as L'Oreal Professional. Men can also transform their mop tops, with haircuts ranging from $30 to $35. For a more holistic head renovation, pair a follicle treatment with a luxurious facial, such as the 85-minute Rhonda Allison facial, during which one of Style 7's trained pore purgers will methodically lure your best face out of hiding ($75). If you're in a hurry, choose to accelerate the action with a 30-minute express facial, the epidermal equivalent to shouting, “olly olly oxen free” ($45).

Advanced DermaCare's owner, Diane D. Lowery, earned a CIDESCO certification in aesthetics while studying at the venerable Clinique La Prairie wellness retreat in Montreux, Switzerland. Although her European education evokes a low-tech, layered approach to facials, Lowery—approaching 40 years as a skin therapist—specializes in the opposite. Her gentle facials promote firm, even tone with pulses of LED light and electro-microcurrents, and exfoliate rough areas with tiny diamond chips or water jets enriched with antioxidants. She attended courses in naturopathic medicine at Bastyr University to develop a holistic view of skin health, and studied ways to turn back the body's clock without triggering early daylight-saving time at the American Academy of Anti-Aging Medicine.

At Savanna MedSpa, aestheticians combine a wide range of non-invasive therapies to refurbish ageing skin. The team’s repertoire includes treatments for a wide range of specific aesthetic concerns – including lasers for reducing hair and sun damage, acne-clearing facials, and skin-exfoliating chemical peels.

The light from glittering chandeliers sets a romantic scene as clients practice new come-hither looks at The Lash Lounge. The ethereal glow also lights the way for the studio's aestheticians as they bolster sparse lash lines with synthetic extensions by Lavish Lashes. Using a specially formulated bonding agent, they partner each synthetic strand with an indigenous lash and, like any two best friends, the lashes stay bonded together until the natural lash falls out with its growth cycle or accidentally flirts with the other lash's ex. To give new blinkers an equally lush backdrop, the staff also freshens faces with skincare treatments including deep-cleaning facials, waxing, and lactic peels.

Tucked inside Quality of Life Medical & Research Center, a 7,800-square-foot medical facility, Quality Aesthetics' certified laser specialist Ana Grace Valdez draws on 22 years of beauty-industry experience as she revives worn complexions. Valdez aims to help clients reclaim youth by using clinical-strength skincare products as well as all-natural, vitamin-infused DeVita Rx products and laser technology in a menu of skin-tightening services, micropeels, and acne treatments. Whether performing a photo facial rejuvenation, tattoo removal with an UltraLight-Q laser, or Zerona body-contouring treatment, Valdez begins with a free consultation and ends by having her magic mirror revise who it considers the fairest of all.

The licensed specialists at Bella Vita Salon pamper clients with hair, nail, and waxing services. As they cut and color new styles, they strive to match each patron's desired aesthetic, relying on products from Pureology and Redken to complement their manual finesse. As the hosts of private spa and beauty parties, they primp guests with new 'dos, mani-pedis, and one complimentary noogie for each of the birthday girl's years.
