Beauty & Spas in Redford

Laser Duet corrects a variety of bodily imperfections with its laser and spa services. Armed with Zerona noninvasive lasers, staffers skim inches from the body by emulsifying adipose tissue for later removal through the lymphatic system. They create hair-free surfaces with the LightSheer Duet laser, and use the DiamondTome skin-resurfacing system to exfoliate and vacuum away dead skin cells. Laser Duet also creates a calming atmosphere with facials and massages, designed to put the mind, body, and permanent pantsuit at ease.

Straight locks or lush ringlets can both come from different genetics. The styling team at Salon 360 draws on skills accrued in continuing education courses and an arsenal of products from Moroccan Oil and Redken to recreate the looks naturally bestowed by Mother Nature. Aestheticians there are also well equipped. Their shelves brim with seaweed and mineral-rich elixirs as well as Botox and Juvederm products designed to let patrons seem young without carrying fistfuls of gummy candy everywhere. As patrons sigh happily, the soft purr of emery boards drifts from chairs amid shelves of traditional polishes and long-lasting shellac.

With two locations and a slate of the latest hair, skin, and waxing treatments, Glory Salon is keeping things chic in both Farmington and Livonia. Stylists combine their skills with products from Purity Design and Aquage to create updos with staying power, correct botched at-home color jobs, and smooth frizz. When they're not styling or coloring hair, the staff is likely to be found removing it from the brows, bikini area, and anywhere in-between, or fawning over complexions with cleansing and rejuvenating facials. Options include everything from microdermabrasion and oxygen-rich treatments to basic European facials, which are just like American facials, but without the mask made from eagles' tears.

Under the shear-wielding guidance of owner Tracy, stylists at Barbee & Bean Hair Design redesign coifs at teal stations stenciled with delicate white flowers. In addition to face-flattering cuts, they also revamp manes with rich single-process hues, frame features with highlights and lowlights, and add volume with hair extensions and industrial-strength bicycle pumps. Smoothing keratin treatments combat frizz semipermanently, leaving hair silky and manageable. Extending the pampering to other keratin-based areas, nail technicians gussy up appendages with manicures and pedicures.
