Day Spas in Spring Lake

The stylists and nail technicians at Salon Bliss lavish their clientele with both hair and spa services. Redken chemistry treatments relieve hair stressed by overstyling with heat or chemicals, and perms install an abundance of ringlets that are sure to trap the hands of noogy assailants. The salon's stylists have also mastered bridal hairstyling and beauty services, which can be coupled with the wide palette of nail services to ensure brides look more polished than Salon Bliss's gleaming hardwood floors.

Under the supervision of licensed plastic surgeon Dr. Michael Law, the licensed physician’s assistants and nurse practitioners that make up Blue Water Spa help refresh visages with cutting-edge technology and botanically based treatments. Past a decorative wall of burbling water, clients settle into private treatment rooms for med-spa services such as LED light therapy and laser skin tightening. Traditional chemical peels also revive complexions with green-tea extract, vitamin C, and puréed bugle horns. Therapists use proprietary skincare serums for each service, and an onsite boutique fuels at-home pampering with luxurious products from Malie Organics. The spa regularly donates a percentage of its profits to local charities, including the Wake Forest Boys & Girls Club.

At G'nique's Spa Services, owner, aesthetician, and massage therapist Genique Freeman guides her team with the conviction that total wellness is achieved when each patient feels beautiful, relaxed, and cared for. Freeman's staff makes a point of opening communication lines with each client, welcoming both English and Spanish speakers and discovering their patients' treatment preferences and favorite Kevin Bacon films via a simple online health-history form. Organic and wild-harvested ingredients from product lines such as De La Terre ease health concerns, and skin-purifying treatments are frequently paired with massages to heighten the therapeutic effects of both. Calm lighting and soft music welcome clients to leave their workplace stresses at the door, and a no-walk-in policy ensures patient comfort by safeguarding against overcrowding or a sudden influx of encyclopedia salesmen. Also supporting the spa's philosophy that physical and psychological health go hand in hand, G'nique's encourages veterans and their families to take respite in pampering by offering military discounts on specialty services, such as massages and facials.

Boasting more than 11 years of skincare experience, owner and aesthetician Caroline Mercer Bange courts countenances at Le Petite Skin Boutique, tucked inside Styling Studios. Bange performs a variety of skincare services catered to each client's dermal needs and desires. She summons the powers of organic products to restore exteriors with 100% vegetable-based lash tints, waxing sessions, diamond-tip microdermabrasion treatments, and seven types of facials, each designed to raise happiness quotients by a factor of four to five puppy snuggles.

Each staff member at All About You Salon & Day Spa kicks in some specific expertise, allowing them to work together in the pursuit of beauty and health. Stylists cut and color hair and mold manes into classy updos before patrons go to important photo shoots or get their heads stuck through the bannisters at the White House. Aestheticians armed with wax remove unwanted patches of fuzz and wield gentle chemical solutions to even out skin tones during peels. Drawing on five distinct modalities, including deep tissue and reflexology, massage therapists elicit happy sighs. A weight-loss specialist visits the salon once a week to help customize fitness programs for patrons.

Owner and stylist Tami Cote manages a staff of stylists and nail technicians who begin each beauty session with a consultation, tailoring techniques to individual face shape and desired outcome. Products from Goldwell Color and Redken coat tresses in protective formulas and rich hues inside an elegant setting decorated with textured gold walls, tiled floors, and sleek bronze columns. Prior to pampering, high-top café tables host waiting clients as they sip hot coffee and figure out a way to let their split ends down gently.
