Portage, MI Beauty and Salons

Aesthetician Brenda has been repairing problematic skin for nearly 30 years. Her facials—categorized as restorative, replenishing, and normalizing—gently combat everything from excess oil and dry patches to acne. She also has a special, corrective back treatment that exfoliates skin and extracts dirt from pores and wings.

The stylists at Sandy's Hair Design bolster their 25-year track record by continually seeking knowledge from Redken and Paul Mitchell educators. After sitting down with clients for a consultation, they break out an array of luxurious products and services. Pigment experts man the Redken Color Bar, combining art and science as they distill rainbows to create custom hues, and nail technicians pamper hands and feet with spa mani-pedis and OPI polish.

To encourage and pamper women who are fighting cancer, Sandy's Hair Design offers complimentary makeovers through Hello Gorgeous! It also supports Children with Hair Loss by donating real hair for wigs and extensions.

A picture of a serene pond dappled with water lilies seems to imbue the treatment room at Trocoa Skin Acumen with the calm of a woodland hideaway. Candles glow by the floral bedspread and the gray-green walls, chasing stress from clients' minds as aestheticians pamper skin with custom facials that treat a range of conditions. The Urban Renewal facial, for example, uses the powerful antioxidant vitamin C to reverse sun and environmental damage caused by bathing in radiation in order to gain superpowers. Fruit acids shrink blemishes during the Defiant Acne facial, and the sensitive-skin facial likewise channels natural ingredients, including chamomile and green tea.

Though the spa's staff members specialize in these examples of noninvasive skincare, they also administer chemical peels, waxing services, permanent makeup, and teeth-whitening treatments.

Inside this Redken Ambassador salon, a team of beauty pros await to renovate appearances backed by 30 years of industry experience. Prismatic hues from Redken's Chromatics line add light-catching dimension to tresses without ammonia, while those looking for color, length, or volume sans commitment can opt for single strands or straight or wavy wefts from LOX extensions. Special occasion services include elegant updos or makeovers with custom-blended makeup by Motives, and are also available on-location to accommodate busy bridal parties or those still awaiting parole.

The four primary-care physicians and family nurse practitioner at Family Doctors of Vicksburg carry on a tradition of compassionate health care that has been thriving for more than 100 years. In 2006, the office expanded its offerings to include the services of registered nurse Darla. Since September of that year, Darla has been administering treatments that include Intense Pulsed Light and laser skin treatments five days a week.

Clients can await their chemical peel, Botox injections, or laser hair-removal sessions in the skincare center's "serenity room." There, guests lounge on the amply cushioned sofa, listening to the sounds of nature and testing out medical-grade moisturizing cream on the leaves of several nearby plants.
