Beauty & Spas in Short Pump

In the springtime, pink blossoms hang from tree branches outside of Rhonda's Skin Care to create an scenic entranceway to the peaceful spa. Inside, internationally trained Master Aesthetician Rhonda Carlile brings out the natural beauty of all skin types with techniques she learned in South Africa, France, and the United States. She brightens complexions with fruit-extract masks, smoothes fine lines or scars with gentle microdermabrasion, and applies facial peels that tighten skin loosened by age or by storing acorns in their cheeks to infiltrate squirrel gangs. Guests also sink into relaxation during personalized massages that integrate Swedish, deep tissue, acupressure, and other therapeutic techniques.

Accented by clean lines, Razors of Richmond’s spacious, newly renovated studio features cushy salon chairs that sit opposite full-length mirrors. Skilled stylists perform men’s haircuts and straight-razor shaves, cleanly eliminating stubble without the aid of electric razors or Wooly Willy magnetic pens. They also perform spa services, such as mani-pedis, facials, massages, and waxing, and all services include a complimentary beverage.

Swaddled in plush robes and sipping a cup of herbal tea, the guests at Margarita's Skin Care Center feel pampered before a spa technician even visits their room. The above-and-beyond treatment doesn't stop there—nourishing facials and body treatments often include steam baths, massages, and masks as revitalizing add-ons. The staff caters its skin services to each client's unique exterior and applies European cosmetics to target any blemishes and ailments. After appointments, a full line of retail products and private consultations—which include advice on preventative care—ensure that visitors can maintain their bright visages at home.

Margarita is a certified electrologist as well as a licensed aesthetician. For patrons in pursuit of long-term hair removal, electrolysis zaps follicles to shut down growth, much like how a lightning strike prevents skyscraper antennae from sprouting any higher. The center also offers makeup applications and waxing services.
