Pico Rivera, CA Beauty and Salons

The skin specialists at HNB MediSkin don't compromise health for beauty. Instead, they ally up-to-date cosmetic technology with customized treatments to bring their clients the best of both worlds. As consultations discover the needs of each face, an Omnia Imaging System maps its features to scout for damage and determine the ideal longitude and latitude for a backup nose. Employees can then apply Dr. J SkinClinic products designed to treat a variety of ailments, from acne to wrinkles to pigmentation. Their services adjust their ingredients, which are often USDA-certified organic, to combat both common skin problems and aesthetic issues related to surgery and pregnancy.

Pink and white striped walls and twinkling chandeliers overlook Savvy Chic Nail Cottage as 12 technicians in pink aprons flurry around plush Victorian armchairs, daubing fingers and toes in glossy polish. A feminine and shabby-chic oasis dreamed up by Ebony Bolton and her husband Michael in 2010, Savvy Chic treats guests to tea in vintage teacups and chocolates from See's Candies as they chat with staffers about their favorite shades of OPI and Gelish lacquers or revel in foot scrubs and hot-lotion massages. Acrylic nails in perfect ovals, squares, and dodecagons lend length and strength to fingertips, and children's mani-pedis pamper pint-size appendages. The cottage keeps its equipment spic and span beyond state standards with germicide, UV-heat sanitation, and disposable protective pouches. Savvy Chic also hosts pedicure parties for bachelorettes and birthdays and frees chins, arms, and other areas from unwelcome fuzz with warm wax.

This clinic's licensed skincare technicians specialize in facial treatments designed to rejuvenate and rehydrate the skin and draw out their clients' natural beauty. Staff members harness the power of all-natural dried herbs and plant extracts to exfoliate damaged skin during the herbal A-facial peel, and they ward off pesky skin conditions such as acne scarring, fine lines, and sun damage during microdermabrasion sessions. Terry's also doles out services that aim to smooth and slenderize other parts of the body, including purifying back treatments, Formostar infrared body wraps, and hula-hoop lessons.

Aesthetician Millette San Pedro specializes in turning back the clock. From within Flawless Skin Clinic's sleek confines, Millette welcomes guests of all ages to indulge in relaxing facials and skin treatments focused on granting a time-defying glow. Her services revivify the complexions of both men and women and can be tailored to tackle concerns such as acne or dry skin. She also uses threading to smooth eyebrows and chins, reducing drag in speed-smiling contests. Millette also strives to beautify her community by partnering with a variety of outreach organizations.

At iDeal Spine & Rehab, Dr. Allen Houshiar, a doctor of osteopathy, and Doctors of Chiropractic Joseph Pacelli and Mark Johnson pull from various holistic techniques to treat headaches, body pains, and injuries from work or automobile accidents. Their services include chiropractic work, massage therapy, pain-management treatments, and medically supervised weight-loss programs that vanquish unwanted flab with supplements and injections.

Beyond Beauty Lashes occupies an unconventional space inside a poker supply warehouse, and according to a feature that OC Weekly writer Michelle Woo penned in praise of the salon, a visit to one of their three private treatment rooms can yield big results. That's because the spot's extensionist, who has been in the business for 10 years, meticulously elongates eyelashes using synthetic extensions with the option to upgrade to silk or mink options harvested humanely from live animals, just like the cookies harvested from cookie monsters. Clients can choose from various lengths, thicknesses, and colors to achieve their desired look. The extensions typically last 60–100 days, shedding gradually with natural lashes.
