Beauty & Spas in Seven Oaks

"Massage is my passion," says Nick West, a licensed massage therapist who channeled his interest in physiology and his desire to help people into a worthwhile career. Prior to each session, which takes place in a warm, private room filled with soft music and the purr of a thousand kittens, he chats with clients to get a sense of their emotional, mental, and physical needs. This allows him to custom tailor their treatment, whether incorporating soothing Swedish strokes or targeted deep-tissue kneads to achieve the most effective results. Though happy to assuage general aches, Nick finds the greatest reward in helping those suffering from chronic-pain conditions, such as fibromyalgia, arthritis, and cancer.

At Donn’s on Harden, licensed aesthetician Michelle Hopper, a graduate of Esthetics International, delivers custom waxing and facial services to meet the needs of each client's skin type. Her hypoallergenic and sensitive-skin waxes keep epidermises happy as unwanted hairs flee the premises. Hopper, who is also certified in airbrush tanning and makeup, prides herself on being timely so she can receive her clients promptly and not disrupt their plans for attending PTA meetings or camping out by the highway to heckle late drivers during rush hour.

When Eva Skin Care opened its doors in 1987, a team of licensed aestheticians, nail technicians, and massage therapists embarked on a mission to create a relaxing escape for their clients as they enhance their natural beauty. The spa continues this tradition with a full cast of body, facial, and nail treatments, all of which use hypoallergenic products made predominately with natural ingredients harvested from the Earth's best-dressed plants. The classic spa uses LED light therapy to promote a healthy glow, and state board-recommended disinfecting products help the facility maintain its commitment to cleanliness. The staff also lends their expertise and textbooks on the history of lip gloss to the "Look Good…Feel Better" program, which aims to improve the self-esteem of women undergoing treatment for cancer.

Located inside Borreggines Hair Artistry and Day Spa, Doll Face Skin Studio pampers clients with professional skincare and makeup services. Licensed aesthetician Donna Branham uses Éminence Organic Skin Care products to treat clientele ranging from women getting ready for weddings to men looking to clear their complexions after shaving with a greasy butter knife. During each procedure, clients relax on a plush treatment table surrounded by ivory walls and warm lighting.:m]]

Whether they're beautifying locks or whisking away unwanted hairs with waxing services, the staff at Oasis Salon & Wax Studio strives to keep clients relaxed. As a Paul Mitchell signature salon, Oasis's junior and senior stylists bestow a wealth of knowledge upon clients as they cut and coif strands or perform texture services such as the Awapuhi deep-conditioning or keratin smoothing treatments. They perform nail services such as hydrating almond manicures and marine spa pedicures that make mermaids feel jealous and manatees feel just as mopey as they always do.

Cool Artistry Bridal & Spa's licensed cosmetologists and savvy stylists help reduce wedding-day stress by gussying up brides-to-be on location. On-site services include hairstyling, makeup application, and tips for how to avoid water-squirting lapels. Within their salon in Caribbean Suns Tanning Salon, stylists treat visitors to haircuts, waxes, and eyelash extension applications. Their manicures and pedicures pamper appendages with products from OPI and Essie, as visitors slip into relaxed reveries and feet recover from overnight tap-dancing marathons.
