Princeton Meadows, NJ Beauty and Salons

Stylists and aestheticians at The Face & Body Spa cultivate coiffures and nourish depleted skin using products with an organic, vegan focus. Scents such as coconut lime, vanilla lavender, and pumpkin suffuse 45-minute hydrating body polishes as custom potions rid the epidermis of expired skin cells and poorly applied tattoos. Radiancy FSD facials refurbish façades with gentle pulses of light designed to stimulate collagen and reduce the appearance of wrinkles and other blemishes. The hair studio's masters subdue unruly locks with cuts and high-quality products from Pureology and Kevin Murphy. Single-process coloring sessions reinvigorate fading hues, instilling clients' tresses with looks loud enough to keep them up at night. Lime-green walls and jaunty angles surround clients as they unwind in serene chambers. To buttress its emphasis on eco-friendly products, The Face & Body Spa promotes an eco-friendly philosophy and donates proceeds from several spa services to charity, making pampering sessions both enjoyable and altruistic, like volunteering at Willy Wonka's soup kitchen.

Quaint, Victorian-style confines await guests at 40-One Salon & Spa. Stylists trained by the likes of Irvine Rusk, Graham Webb, and Goldwell International revamp coiffures with razor cuts, perms, and keratin treatments. In addition to mending the frazzled manes of customers who used toasters as pillows, stylists primp nails, offer massages, and rejuvenate skin with spa treatments. To help clients who are battling cancer, 40-One Salon & Spa also services wigs.

Like many med-spas, Advanced Laser Center uses lasers to combat unwanted hair and beam away wrinkles. But unlike most, the facility's lasers are also calibrated to help patients quit smoking or lose unwanted pounds. Medical aestheticians help lift sagging faces sans surgery with IPL skin-tightening treatments that inundate collagen with waves of infrared light, causing tissues to contract and faces to appear more youthful. Injections of Botox and Juvéderm also smooth and shape facial contours, and chemical peels with glycolic or salicylic acid dislodge dead skin by accelerating the natural process of exfoliation. To ensure patients leave healthy from head to toe, they also aim the cosmic technology to conquer toenail fungus, preparing feet for display in flip-flops or glass clogs.

Medical Aesthetics of New Jersey's staff conducts a wide range of services, including those that use lasers and other advanced technologies. Registered nurses zap body hair with pulses of light, resist encroaching facial lines with injections of Botox, Juvéderm, and Radiesse volumizing filler, and accent complexions with permanent makeup that will outlast the earth. Medical Aesthetics of New Jersey also boasts endermologie machines that can contour torsos and reduce cellulite.

The staff, which includes a certified laser specialist, at Gentle Light Laser Center’s three clinics harness beams to address clients’ needs, inside and out. They specialize in aesthetic services, from resurfacing laser and photo facials to spider-vein- and hair-removal treatments. Teeth are also spotlighted during whitening services, which use LEDs to eliminate deep-set stains or graffiti from vengeful tooth fairies. The Center’s scope goes beyond cosmetic services as well, offering laser acupuncture and cold-laser therapy to relieve pain and assist healing.

The vivid violet walls at New Attitude Hair Design reflect the upbeat charm and feminine sophistication the salon staff brings to its work. Owner Meera’s passionate team of stylists, colorists, and waxing technicians take pride in crafting custom looks. The salon's forte is special-occasion updos; the stylists wind curly tendrils for prom, weave loose braids for beach weddings, and mold beehive dos for weddings held on honey farms.
