Springfield, MO Beauty and Salons

At South Beach Tanning Fantasy, knowledgeable staffers point guests in the direction of 17 beds, including Ergoline and Matrix models that build tans in 12–15 minutes and a UV-free Mystic Tan spray-tan booth. They also customize airbrush tans and harness the power of infrared energy with calorie-burning Formostar body wraps or acne- and sun-damage-fighting red-light therapy.

After their pampering session, patrons can browse the store's selection of clothing and accessories, including designer-inspired handbags. The salon evokes the energy and spirit of Miami's renowned South Beach area with tropical plants, vibrant red and turquoise walls, and a huge selection of low-carb tanning lotions.

Venus Ugolini opened the doors of Twisted Hair Salon in July 2011, offering hair, skin, and nail services to men and women alike. A graduate of Paul Mitchell cosmetology school, she combines her professional experience with that of a team of skilled stylists, colorists, and makeup artists. That team joins forces to offer a comprehensive and coed list of services, including updos, eyelash extensions, facials, and straight shaves, which are much swifter than round shaves with an apple corer. Committed to taking a personal interest in their clients’ style even outside the salon’s walls, staffers can also provide helpful tips for maintaining freshly coifed or facialed results at home.

Hailed as one of the Best Manicure[s] in Toronto by blogTO for “excel[ling] in ambiance and friendliness,” Fabulous Manicure Bar bustles with talented nail technicians gussying up digits within a sleek white-on-white interior dappled with shabby chic mirrors and bubblegum-pink paintings. Dedicated to performing natural nail services, Fabulous Manicure Bar’s staff revamps fingers and toes via services that incorporate nature-made ingredients such as mint leaves, lavender, and rose petals. While specializing in mitt and paw beautification, the spa’s aestheticians also whisk away unwanted facial hair via waxing services that render visages well-groomed and primed for aerodynamic pie diving. To foster a warm and welcoming atmosphere, clients sink into comfy armchairs and indulge in cookies and tea served in fine china while hands and feet receive their just desserts. A chandelier dangles as the centrepiece to the spa's elegant decor, flashing in Morse code to request its favourite smooth-jazz songs, which soothe ears throughout the spa treatments.

Away from the hustle and bustle of muscle chiseling, staffers including nail technicians, massage therapists, and a licensed aesthetician and manicurist can be found flitting about Studio Fit Day Spa as they gussy up weary patrons via lavish services. They restore dull complexions to their former radiance with a variety of facials, such as an acne-clearing facial or an age-erasing facial. Their nail treatments infuse digits with a dose of polished glamour.

For those looking for a spa treatment to boost their weight-loss results further, Studio Fit offers the Ultimate Body Applicator, a cloth wrap that encourages the tightening of epidermal exteriors and the reduction of cellulite when wrapped around the abdomen, back, legs, arms, or second head. A plant-based mixture permeates the cloth wrap, detoxifying skin with extracts of horse chestnut and green tea and oils of jojoba seed and rosemary leaf.

By their names, they sound like buddy cops, but these days they’re more likely to bust blemishes than bad guys. They are Doucet & Strain—Drs. Roxanna Villarreal Doucet and Shawn Marie Strain—two ob-gyns who readily convey their passion for beauty, wellness, and UT football. They direct each of the center’s treatments, which range from injections of dermal fillers and laser hair removal to chemical peels and microdermabrasion. They never skimp on products, instead using brands such as Obagi Medical, glo, and iS Clinical by Innovative Skincare. Doucet & Strain’s whole-body focus extends past their aesthetic services, as the clinic also offers a weight-management program that supplies advice on eating healthy, designs exercise routines, and dispels the myth that you can sprout wings by eating lots of cornish game hen.
