Waxing is among the most economical of non-permanent hair-removal treatments, allowing you to stay smooth but still compete in a playoff legbeard competition when the need arises. Reshape or separate Siamese brows ($15) or clear your upper lip and chin ($10 each) to clear a smooth surface for better novelty-moustache adhesion. Or just skip the specifics and get a full face of water-wicking skin. Migrate away from the mug and take care of overly insulated arms ($35) or a pair of leggy walking arms ($70). Prepare for beach season with a Brazilian ($45+) or its front-sided cousin, the stomach wax ($15+).

With a month's all-you-can-clip-clean-and-trim privileges at The Head Game, you'll be free to turn a bowl cut into a Mohawk into a faux-hawk into a North Pole soul patch, all while enjoying contemporary comforts within The Head Game's classic "1940s barbershop" studio space, complete with black leather recliners, flat-screen TVs, exposed brick, and framed sports photos. If forcefully lopping off your locks every few days sounds impractical, you can instead enjoy weekly touch-ups before summer weekend events such as weddings, barbecues, barbecue mitzvahs, international soccer tournaments, or nights out with a lucky lady.

The coalition of board-certified, award-winning physicians at Sacramento Ear Nose and Throat are experts in those areas, but their care isn’t limited to the eponymous organs. While they provide specialized services that address a variety of conditions, including allergies and tonsillitis, the staff also tends to aesthetic needs. A pair of skilled plastic surgeons performs cosmetic procedures and less-invasive treatments, administering dermal fillers to rejuvenate faces and wielding lasers that remove hair, tighten skin, and distract nearby cats.

Traditionally, the exclamation “ooh la la!” is reserved for moments that blend luxuriousness and surprise. Comments like that often fill the air at Ooh La La Salon and Day Spa, where a team of stylists and technicians delivers pampering treatments that span the entire beauty spectrum. At 14 hair stations, stylists help clients part with unwanted length and say hello to new hues. Treatment rooms provide privacy during massages and facials, and a small fleet of nail stations set in alcoves welcomes the polish-illuminating light of nearby chandeliers. Guests can also top off looks with cosmetic services including makeup applications and airbrush tans.

Behind each door in R U Tan's spa-like facilities lie state-of-the-art tanning beds that vary in strength and style. The tanning center's certified consultants can help bronze enthusiasts select the best bed for their skin type or help assemble a tanning plan that combines sessions in the standup bed, the plush Extreme bed, or the Hydration Station bed that resembles Woody Allen's time-traveling vessel in Sleeper. Experienced spray-tanning techs provide an alternative to UV-ray bathing by instantaneously coating the skin in an even, natural-looking tone.

Supervised by Dr. Efrain Gonzalez, Advanced Medical Spa's two locations offer spa skincare services along with a full card of plastic-surgery procedures.

She makes sure her clients understand the treatments they choose because "people need to be informed as well as taken care of," she says. To that end, Kayla equips clients with thorough understanding of their chosen procedures, aftercare instructions, and handkerchiefs stitched from the pages of Physicians' Desk Reference. Complementing Dr. Gonzalez's body-contouring services, Kayla gives clients pointers on how to maximize their aesthetic results with diet and exercise; after all, looking young and healthy is "a lifestyle," she concludes.
