Plano Beauty and Salons

Located in Salon Republic and operated by Erica Arancibia, The Beauty of Waxing is a professional skin care studio.

Massage therapist Maribel Rodriguez has dedicated more than 10 years in the industry to bolster her healing powers and curate a tranquil treatment facility. Spa services are performed by Maribel and her staff of aestheticians and massage therapists and include specialty treatments that incorporate mechanical exfoliation, organic creams, and chemical solutions. The 50-minute organic facial combines steam and an organic fruit cleanser to open pores and clear them with paprika exfoliation, and hot stones glide across backs during gentle-healing massages. The team also specializes in peels, microdermabrasion, ear candling, and waxing services that remove hair more humanely than industrial-strength flypaper.

The Eyelash Diva wants to sit you down and give you some seriously fancy fringe by applying a full set of eyelash extensions all around your pretty peepers.

Helmed by medical director Dr. Reza Izadi, Avanti Skin Center of Willow Bend’s team of technicians, medical aestheticians, and registered nurses helps clients look and feel their freshest with facials, injectable beauty bolsterers, and cosmetic laser treatments. Strict sanitation policies, up-to-date laser gear, and an autographed picture of C. Everett Koop add an air of clinical trustworthiness to the epidermal oasis, where potted plants ornament an earth-toned interior and lobby splashed with light from floor-to-ceiling windows.

KoCo Powell showcases her mastery of cosmetic techniques in Lashes and Makeup’s lavender-toned studio, as well as on her biweekly CBS 11 segment, Let KoCo Try It Before You Buy It. Her staple service consists of the individual application of pre-curled Xtreme Lashes extensions, which enhance eyelids for up to two months despite showering, swimming, or trying to see what’s inside a sprinkler. Additionally, KoCo can enhance thinning brows with teeny wigs made from natural hair or artful stenciling, giving brows a dark, even appearance in a shape that best suits each client's face. Strands aside, KoCo also uses her eye for style to help glamorize clients with makeup and airbrush-tanning sessions.

Dr. Calderon, owner of Elite MedSpa, takes a forward-thinking approach to laser skincare technology. First impelled to pick up a laser more than a decade ago when a member of her family was diagnosed with melanoma, Dr. Calderon has sought to spread awareness of cancer prevention through laser technologies, as well as the cosmetic benefits of lasers on sun-damaged and aging skin. Dr. Calderon and her team enact more than 25 beautifying services, including laser-centric tattoo and hair removal, as well as Cool Lipo, which uses minimally invasive lasers to dissolve body fat and tighten skin. The med spa also treats acne-prone skin with FDA-approved lasers and prescriptions, and offers dozens of beauty products from its online store.
