Pawtucket, RI Beauty and Salons

With doctors on staff, the medically supervised team at Agapé Medical Spa performs a range of modern beauty treatments, including chemical peels, laser hair removal, and weight-loss regimens. Clients can also fill the 25th hour during the last day of daylight-saving time with a soothing spa service such as a massage, ear-candling treatment, or salt glow scrub.

At Bella Piel, licensed aesthetician Debbie Cunha cossets the epidermal canvas with aesthetic services that rely on the beautifying powers of light. During light-focused services, Debbie beams each different shade of the visible spectrum onto the skin to treat corresponding skin problems. Red light helps reverse sagging skin and promote fat burning, blue light saves sensitive skin from acne and inflammation, and green light helps reduce under-eye circles and gives the body the ok to move forward with its TV pilot. Aside from color-coded cosmetic treatments, she also cleanses, exfoliates, and massages visages during facials and uses a diamond-tipped microdermabrasion wand to slough dead skin, lighten scars, and increase collagen production.

At Chrissy's Hair Salon, Chrissy and her team use products from brands such as Rusk and Joico to offer cuts, foils, corrective hair coloring, and smoothing treatments. These master colorists and experienced stylists take special pride in their consultations. They meet with customers to assess their complexions, making sure to match hair colors with facial tones and accounting for the current season and fashion. This approach results in eye-catching 'dos that correctly frame clients' faces and stop dream thieves in their tracks.

Licensed aesthetician Nicole Lyons opened Seven Layer Skin to treat clients with private, one-on-one sessions to fortify and repair their skin. By appointment only, she restores the epidermis to its youthful vigor with facials, microdermabrasion treatments, and paraffin dips for the face and hands. Her chemical peels harness the power of lactic, glycolic, or salicylic acid to slough away dead skin cells and old Dukakis for President bumper stickers still plastered across foreheads. Nicole also performs specialty services including waxing, ear coning, and eyelash-extension application. The only time she eschews one-on-one attention with her clients is when she plays host to spa parties, during which groups convene to snack on appetizers while lathering their faces in Dermalogica products.

The certified and skilled staff at Lux Cosmedic Spa invites visitors in to relax, spruce up their hair, and treat their physiques to permanent beauty upgrades. Within purple-hued walls, techs wield noninvasive hand pieces for microdermabrasion and IPL laser hair-removal treatments, which can slough off unwanted fuzz without damaging patient's surrounding tissue or tattoos of grocery lists. For permanent makeup, skin artisans deposit coloured pigments beneath the upper layer of the dermis to shape brows and accent lips. Mani-pedis and soothing massages anchor a cast of traditional spa services, and Lux's full-service salon can transform a head's lacklustre locks and undercooked spaghetti noodles into a stylish new 'do.
