Beauty & Spas in Point Pleasant

In addition to owning her own studio, Face to Fase, celebrity makeup artist Leigh Ann Borrelli also stocks it with Vanity 101 products, which she also owns. In her 12-year career as a self-taught makeup artist, Borrelli worked for different cosmetic companies before finding one in 2006 that she believed in enough to make her own. She affords the same service to every patron as she does to her celebrity clientele, consulting with clients before each treatment to determine their faces' problem areas and explain their makeup desires, as well as offering brides-to-be facials, waxing, and jewelry. Leigh Ann's specialty serums can help reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines, or they can minimize shine to create mat skin without the hassle of bathing in flour.

Before opening Believe Skin Care Studio, owner Lauryn Allen spent two years at the John Barrett Salon at Bergdorf Goodman in New York City. She learned much while tending to her base of big-city clients, and she brings all of that knowledge—as well as 10 years of general spa experience—to her own charming studio in Oakhurst. Lauryn and her staff cater to all skin types with facials that flush dirt from pores and waxing services that swipe away unwanted fuzz. Various makeup wands summon cherry-red lips, tinted lashes, smoky eyes, and orange hopscotch courts on the studio’s floor. Skilled therapist Jeannine plies her nimble fingers during massages in modalities ranging from soothing Swedish to penetrating deep tissue.

As clients lounge in leather-backed chairs, the stylists at Chop Chop Bang Bang trim locks into alternative styles, modern pixie cuts, and long layers that garner second and third looks from passersby. Using color as an antidote to everyday 'dos, the stylists are known for their use of strategic pops of sun-kissed highlights or bold hues, which can include bright blues and fuchsias. Each professional's cache of tools includes Enjoy haircare products and Bio Ionic brushes and flat irons, which the salon also sells for at-home or at-jury-duty styling on the go.

When stylists at A Touch of Class meet new clients, they work one-on-one to customize looks that mirror both current trends and customers' needs. Stylists augment hair services with extras such as deep-conditioning treatments with indulgent scalp massages. As Matrix specialists, they can also add highlights and full color. In addition to hair transformations, the staff whisks away stubble with waxing services, tidies up nails with mani-pedis, and readies individuals for special events with professional makeup applications. Like The Electric Slide, A Touch of Class accommodates bridal parties both large and small.:m]]

At Laser Aesthetic Medical Center, Dr. John Young, a certified physician, administers a range of cosmetic treatments designed to keep bodies looking youthful. Noninvasive slenderizing treatments such as VelaShape work to slim physiques, and Botox, Juvederm Ultra Plus XC, Restylane, and Perlane injections address unwanted wrinkles. Massage services help relax, and hydra facials smooth visages. The center's procedures benefit from the expertise of its staff, who together boast great training, years of experience and enough heads to collectively think better than one.

Although most people want a glowing tan, no one wants burnt, painful skin. That’s why the Smart Tan-certified professionals at Bronze Couture Tan & Spa guide clients through the tanning options available in their salon, ensuring clients select the tanning method and lotion that will best darken their individual skin type. The staff members desire to help clients reduce the negative effects of tanning, and thus educate them on how to enhance tanning sessions with accelerating lotions, chocolate syrup, or the salon’s higher-tiered UV beds. The Level 3–7 Ergoline beds build up tans over time, whereas the salon’s high-pressure Magic 636 bed condenses eight hours of sunshine into 12 minutes.

As an alternative to UV tanning, certified airbrush artists offer custom spray tans that last for 5–10 days. The salon also offers complementary services such as teeth whitening, tan-prolonging hydration treatments, and red light–therapy facials.
