Sandy Hills, UT Beauty and Salons

Whether catering to a girls’ birthday party or delicately pampering a single pair of hands, The NailPort Nail Salon's devout technicians use high-end OPI, CND, and Burt's Bees products to pamper their clients' faces and bodies. During spa mani-pedis, they file ragged edges and push back encroaching cuticles to make room for colorful decorations sealed beneath long-lasting Shellac and gel coats. Chemical peels improve appearance of hands and feet, eyelash extensions add ferocity to peepers, and brow tinting helps standout hairs blend in with underlying skin tones or jungle foliage.

Some high-profile people have trusted their faces to Dr. Drake Vincent of Vincent Surgical Arts. Former Miss USA Gretchen Jensen, for example, asked the doctor to help her curb signs of aging with a minimally invasive SwiftLift treatment—a 90-minute outpatient procedure that helps tighten the lower-face and neck skin. And though you're probably more used to hearing them than seeing them, Fisher and Peggy of Today's 106.5 morning show look more youthful and refreshed after visits to Dr. Vincent's facility. The doctor removed fat from Fisher's upper and lower eyelids and from beneath his chin and performed lifting procedures on Peggy's brow, eyelids, and lower face.

Patients turn to Dr. Vincent because of his charm and genuine warmth, but it's his extensive training that gives them peace of mind. After earning a doctor of dental medicine degree, Dr. Vincent went on to medical school and became dually board certified in full-body cosmetic surgery and maxillofacial surgery. He trains other surgeons via an accredited general cosmetic-surgery fellowship within his cutting-edge center, which is certified by the Accreditation Association for Ambulatory Health Care. The clinic's separate air circulation, HEPA filters, and continuously monitored recovery room keep patients comfortable, though many just come in for outpatient med-spa treatments, such as laser hair removal and skincare services. A regal atmosphere permeates the space, with Roman-style statues and paintings reminiscent of the palace where Julius Caesar's extratight laurel wreath served as the first face-lifting device.

Specializing in noninvasive treatments, Dr. Alireza Falahati and the staff at Lisse Laser and Aesthetics revitalize skin with laser wavelengths and products from SkinCeuticals, GlyMed, ColorScience, and Clarisonic. The facility's chic waiting area greets clients with wooden floors, artwork-clad walls, and black, leather couches that showcase the luxury of hairless arms and legs.

The team at Lash My World focuses on a single task: applying sets of natural-looking eyelash extensions. Using medical-grade adhesive, the lash technicians attach individual synthetic lashes to upper and lower eyelids. Despite their delicate appearance, the lashes are designed to withstand up to six weeks of wear and slap fights. They can be styled on the fly with a special styling brush the team supplies to each patron.

As one of the Top 200 Salons in the United States as chosen by Redken and Pureology in 2011 and one-time Aesthetician of the Year according to the International Association of Aesthetics, The Shirodhara Day Spa and its owner, Eva Mileski, have a trophy case filled with more awards than Meryl Streep's attic. The cozy spa and salon creates a cottage-like atmosphere with creative décor to make guests feel relaxed and welcome for each treatment. New haircuts are born in the salon portion, and, through a pair of French doors, massage therapists and aestheticians wait to relax bodies with deep-tissue, Swedish, and other modalities or nurture complexions with facials. The Shirodhara Day Spa invites all spa guests to take a complimentary trip to the steam room to loosen up stiff muscles, sweat out toxins, and secretly open their neighbors’ junk mail.

The design-minded staff of JL Nails & Lashes adds extra glamour to fingers and faces by building off of their existing beauty. Lash extensions line eyelids with a thicket of faux strands, whose upward arcs bestow eyes with a lusher appearance and errant raindrops with a thrilling roller-coaster ride. Manicures and pedicures douse nails in glitter, stencil whimsical shapes and sports-team logos, or affix durable acrylic tips for added length.
