Beauty & Spas in Saint Charles

Lynette Trares, Flawless Permanent Cosmetics' licensed permanent cosmetic technician, highlights clients’ features with makeup that's as natural looking as it is certain to stick around. Under the supervision of a medical doctor, she enhances eyes and lips with permanent liner, and fills in uneven or sparse brows. Lynette and the rest of the Flawless team also provide less eternal solutions such as waxing, and give lessons on how to bring out the eyes with nothing more than regular makeup.

A commitment to using natural products, such as vegan nail polish, guides the staff at Serene Scene Morning Spa as they unfurl services by appointment 24 hours a day. The natural essential oils used in the spa manicure and other treatments fill the air with aromatherapy scents and zero airborne chemicals. Dessert-themed services such as the Cupcake pedicure or the foot spa Sundae paint appendages candy colors to match the pastel walls of the spa's private rooms.

Salon Edge owner Richard O’Connor works each day to achieve his goal as a hairstylist: to boost his clients’ outer beauty and inspire confidence. Richard’s supporting staff includes a hair sculptor, two aestheticians, and a master stylist with 30 years of experience. The team works to bring its customers’ visions to life with precise cuts, fully custom color treatments, and skin-type-specific spa treatments. The two aestheticians can perform a diverse range of services, from waxing, massages, and facials to hoof care and nailcare. And as if all these services in one place weren't convenient enough, Salon Edge has free parking.

By completing an extended course in the treatment of hair loss and scalp disorders, Jessica Dalton earned herself a certificate from the Hair Loss Control Clinic, an international provider of laser hair-loss treatments. She puts her credentials to work at Clayton Aesthetics, located in Tymm's Place, using the MEP-90 laser on men's and women's thinning pates in an attempt to re-grow lost strands and add volume to existing manes. This high-tech form of biostimulation has been found to be safe in more than 3,500 medical papers and one disappointed mad scientist's diary.

Throughout his 20-year career in hair, makeup, and photography, Robert Govero has instructed stylists as an educator for Vidal Sassoon and Aveda and styled models for print and television. Now at the helm of Robert Govero for HAIR, the seasoned pro leads his own team of hair and nail experts. Stylists modify manes with cuts for the family and texturizing treatments that range from perms to Brazilian blowouts. They also imbue strands with color by L’Oréal and INOA, which uses an oil-based formula to hydrate hair as it deposits odorless, ammonia-free pigment. Meanwhile, nail treatments can strengthen fingers with shellac polish, acrylic tips, or tiny chain-mail vests.

Inside the brick storefront of Tuscan Sky Salon, esthetician Jule Jablonowski repairs careworn skin with professional spa services. Restorative facials restore moisture and whisk away gunky environmental damage while treating nagging acne and blemishes. Her chemical peels take the healing to skin's deeper layers, with therapeutic acids kickstarting new skin growth while targeting issues ranging from hyperpigmentation to rosacea. Julie also frees faces from fuzz with waxing services, and can defoliate other areas of the body affected by hirsute surfaces or localized lycanthropy.
