Beauty & Spas in Pikesville

Renew’s talented aesthetician Shelley Birnbaum whips up custom visage-pampering treatments that earned her top honors from Baltimore City Paper in 2007 and from Baltimore magazine in 2008. After an initial skin analysis, Shelley will deep-clean skin using a custom crafted mix of organic alpha-hydroxy acid or fruit enzymes and mechanical exfoliation on face and neck. Each Mediterranean facial indulges dry-witted skin with organic herbs such as grape-seed oil, olive oil, and pomegranate-seed oil. Facials finish with extractions and a moisturizing lineup including a hand-mixed mask, serum, and eye cream, allowing spot-on impersonations of dangerously attractive supervillian Dr. Smoothface. A stress-relieving face, neck, and shoulder massage relaxes the body’s second floor, while the anti-aging hand treatment allows clients to bid adieu with youthful goodbye waves. ReNew's green touches are evident everywhere, from interiors lined with eco-friendly paints to its earthy and enthusiastic staff.

Rest your noggin on a pillow as one of Perfect Touch Hair Salon & Day Spa's certified registered nurses skillfully applies medical-grade NovaLash extensions to your lash line. NovaLash's recipe for synthetic strands was developed by physicians and cosmetic chemists and contains only FDA-approved ingredients. If cared for properly, a full set of extensions will keep your batters full and fluttering for up to one month. Perfect Touch is closed Sundays and Mondays; call ahead for an appointment.

Microdermabrasion is an FDA-approved, noninvasive treatment that rejuvenates skin through exfoliation, promoting new cell and collagen production, stimulating microcirculation and lymphatic flow, and balancing oil levels to even out skin tone and texture. Faces Med Spa performs DiamondTome microdermabrasion, a treatment system that has traded in the abrasive crystal and cubic-zirconium particles of yesterbrasion for the gentle touch of diamond wands. With this Groupon, you will also receive a VISIA skin-and-complexion analysis, a computerized scan that will reveal below-the-surface damage in the form of spots, unruly pores, variations in skin tone, and sun damage. The scan's collected data will help your skin specialist devise and recommend a treatment plan to prevent future signs of aging. Watch Dr. Scott Gerrish demonstrate the VISIA skin-analysis system on CBS 13.

FX Studios, a luxurious salon, spa, and fitness facility for men and women, makes visits as comfortable as they are memorable with private salon studios and movie screens showing the latest flicks. After a consultation and a five-minute shampoo and scalp massage, one of FX’s expert stylists will perform an arsenal of follicular special effects on your cranial dome—clipping strands until they take on a chic new shape and draping your face with a hot towel to make skin softer than a baby's kneepit. During a massage, diligent digits untie muscle knots with the skill of sailor for a full hour. Therapists blend Swedish-, myofacial-, and deep-muscle-massage techniques to create a customized unloosening. Call ahead to make an appointment.

Total Body Concept is a full service spa staffed by European-trained professionals with more than 20 years of experience. The 60-minute detox body wrap ($100) is carefully designed with a blend of natural seaweed algae extracts and essential oils to restore the body’s natural rhythmic balance and eradicate impurities. Before the body wrap begins, clients will undergo a special cleansing and exfoliation process, followed by the application of the wrap, which incorporates a massage to intensify the wrap efficacy. Clients will also enjoy ten minutes in a Russian steam cabinet, where billows of steam heal the skin and camouflage you from errant Frisbees.
