Beauty & Spas in Palm River-Clair Mel

All About Beauty Salon & Spa clear-cuts the tangle of impediments that stand in the way of women feeling beautiful. In the salon, stylists work out frizz and curls with keratin treatments and lengthen locks with weaves and extensions. But the bulk of salon’s services are trained on improving a sense of self worth beneath the surface with fun, sultry pole-dancing exercise classes. Ladies indulge their inner divas, whether they are beginners or more advanced pole-swingers, and they flaunt and fine-tune their moves in a group setting, private sessions, and fitness classes that combine pole work with Pilates and stretching. Party packages offer a fun respite from sneaking into the local fire station on the weekends when it’s closed, and participants receive party favors and pole names before two-hour pole or chair sessions.

Brenda Alfonso and the friendly staff of The Pamper Stop improve patrons' appearances in a relaxed setting. Skilled technicians tend to nails with a variety of manicure and pedicure services, offering add-ons such as long-lasting Shellac polish, paraffin-wax treatments, and the option to file nails into the outline of a favorite national monument. The salon also reigns in bedraggled eyebrows and rids other body parts of hair entirely with waxing services.

Stylists at True Colors Hair Salon add shape and tint to washed-out tresses with products from GKhair, Paul Mitchell, and L'Oréal Paris. After conferring with clients to determine hair dos and don'ts, mane managers snip strands into face-flattering angles, voluminous layers, or imposing Greek columns. Hair-gloss treatments add shine to hirsute halos, and partial or full sets of highlights set indigenous hues aglow. For complete head makeovers, double-process color lightens dark locks several shades without brassiness. Frizz-prone clients may opt to cosset curls with a GKhair treatment's special blend of proteins, called Juvexin, which penetrates the cuticle to tame flyaways and rabid sun visors for up to five months.

T&D Nails & Spa's attentive staff of technicians calls upon years of experience every time a staffer brushes a vibrant coat of polish across nails or swipes away a strip of unwanted hair. Deluxe manicures and pedicures lavish extremities with skin-smoothing masks, paraffin waxes, and sugar scrubs that gently peel away dead cells and expired candy bracelets. The team can also beautify nails with soak-off Gelish and pink-and-white manicures. Their expertise extends to the full body with waxing treatments that swiftly remove hair from the face, limbs, and bikini area.

Before opening Salon Jack, owner and head stylist Chad Malm spent most of his professional life working with a diverse clientele and had his work featured in fashion publications such as Allure and Harper’s Bazaar. He also traveled extensively as an educator for Bumble and bumble, learning the latest styling trends along the way. Now that he’s settled down, Chad continues to bring the same level of commitment and energy to his work with all kinds of customers and insists that his stylists do, too. As he says on his website, the salon hires stylists "who are inspired by what they do and are on fire for it." All stylists have undergone extensive training in the latest hair trends and are well versed in professional products such as Wella hair color and GKHair keratin hair-smoothing treatments.

The staff at Premier Cosmetic Solutions know that looking one’s best takes a lot more than a quick swipe of mascara in the morning. That’s why they help clients cut down on time in front of the mirror with organic permanent-cosmetic applications. Unlike other types of permanent cosmetics, the organic inks that Premier uses contain no metals, so they leave more vibrant pigments and are ideal for those with allergies, contact-lens wearers, and busts made out of fruit. The inks are available in more than 200 shades and last up to nine years.

The staff also specializes in several shorter-term beauty solutions, including waxing, microdermabrasion and facials with Rhonda Allison products. Silk mink eyelash extensions are feather-soft and come in a variety of lengths and thicknesses, so the look can be customized to fit each client’s eye shape.
