Palatka, FL Beauty and Salons

De Javu Salon's current staff brings decades of experience to a business that has snipped and styled hair for Jacksonville's men, women, and children for more than 30 years. With continual training and certifications from the likes of Goldwell and Paul Mitchell, the professionals possess the knowhow to revamp looks not only with stylish haircuts, but also color, highlights, and strand-smoothing keratin treatments. To complement their signature salon services, aestheticians tend to the rest of the body by administering facials, tending to nails, and waxing away unwanted hair.

A lobby decked out with leather chairs, stained wood, tiles, and flowers greets visitors to Massage Bliss & Day Spa, preparing them for a spa visit that melts away the stress and responsibilities of the modern workday. Soft, low lights and gauzy curtains hang over heated massage beds, and two candlelit couples-massage suites surround pairs in a sensual glow during romantic anniversaries or ill-advised first dates. Deep-cleaning facials flush out clogged pores and stimulate blood flow with natural ingredients, such as apple pulp and flaxseed, and aromatic salts and coconut oils soothe digits during spa mani-pedis. The day spa's arsenal of sophisticated technologies beautifies and rejuvenates bodies, with its infrared sauna detoxifying and purifying skin and its TriActive laser smoothing out dimpling and cellulite.

Board-certified physician Dr. Carson Bauder helms the trained staff of aestheticians at A New U Wellness Center, all of whom work together to personalize treatments with an integrative approach to health and beauty. Known for an emphasis on noninvasive skincare procedures and a custom approach that never fails to account for individual circumstances, the staff treats the body inside and out with services that range from nutritional counseling to skin rejuvenation. The center’s advanced laser and cosmetic procedures, which include nonsurgical injections of Botox, Dysport, and Restylane, work to erase wrinkles from complexions and shoo away crows nesting in the corners of eyes.

Dr. Quinn leads her staff in boosting clients’ health and beauty with nonsurgical treatments that blend Western technology with holistic philosophies. Whether seeking to slim down or look younger, clients meet with Dr. Quinn to create a plan-of-action that matches their desired goals. This can include dermal fillers to plump up lips, medical diet plans to sleek silhouettes, or lasers to banish unwanted hair and tattoos. No matter the treatment, the staff lavishes clients with personal attention and ensures their safety and comfort.

Bella La Vita Salon's talented tress designers sculpt multifaceted fringe with modern haircuts and vibrant Tigi coloring products. The salon’s haircentric menu includes services ranging from upkeep cuts to retexturizing treatments to formal updos, ensuring patrons always maintain a carefully coiffed visage. The salon's colorists can also enhance shine and brighten locks by introducing hair to Tigi coloring and highlighting formulas, which employ amino acids to encourage growth and the development of proper study habits.

The professional nail technicians at Artizon Hair Studios decorate digits with an array of manicure and pedicure services. After patrons remove jewelry and scuba flippers, a professional nail technician lengthens lifelines with a full hand massage. Feet and hands steep in a relaxing soak before a foot exfoliation smoothes away the top layer of dead skin. To finalize the digit makeover, cuticles are shaped and buffed to a high shine in preparation for an application of polish in the patron's choice of color.

Alternatively, a French luxury mani-pedi supplements all the amenities of the express mani-pedi with a slew of additional cuticle-coddling treatments. A foot massage places hot stones between the toes, invigorating the senses without the unpleasant burns associated with vacationing in a volcano. A longer hand and foot soak in special, premium oil cultivates healthier skin, and an exfoliation treatment scrubs away dead cells. To complete the roughly 80-minute treatment, a French polish caps nails with a longer-lasting layer of color.
