Springfield, OR Beauty and Salons

Art of Nail Salon’s technicians pamper nails into states of beauty with manicures, pedicures, and acrylic-nail services. High-five tournaments amp up with manicured hands, whether soft from a paraffin dip or elongated with a set of acrylic nails. During deluxe spa pedicures, feet unwind in a soothing bath of essential oils before a scrub to remove barnacles, a clay mud mask, and a massage. Some of the salon’s skilled techs are also experts in specialty nailcare, including caring for ingrown toenails or the feet of people with diabetes.

Hair Today's Jamie Lloyd harnesses her 17 years of experience to transform manes with stylish haircuts and color treatments. As an Aveda-trained educator, she uses the lines’ botanical-based products to restore hair from the duress of environmental aggressors and head pats from strangers. When not revamping ‘dos, Jamie is revealing luminous skin with waxing sessions and hydrating facials. All services are complemented by soothing extras such as hot towels and botanical conditioning treatments.

A real passion for her job is what makes Barbara Silvia look forward to coming into work every day, she explains on her website. She has worked as a nail technician for three years performing mani-pedis. Most recently, she relocated to a booth inside Sunflower Salon, where she specializes in acrylic nails and elaborate nail art. Barbara works hard to keep abreast of current trends, from using long-lasting gel polish to decorating digits with portraits of popular CEOs.

B3 Salon and Spa is a joint venture of owners Sabrina and Vanessa, who pooled their years of beauty experience and industry knowledge. The three Bs in the salon's name stand for their credo in three languages—bella, bonita, beautiful. Similarly, though their services may have different names, they all accomplish the same goal: making each client as stunning as possible. Whether guests sit down for a cut, color, and style or kick back and let the nail technicians groom their fingers and toes for a big day at the podiatrist's office, they leave looking stylish enough to invite compliments in any language.

Kendra gently removes unwanted hair in the privacy of personal treatments rooms. She begins by spreading Cirepil wax, which is gentle enough for sensitive skin, onto fuzzy patches. She then deftly shapes brows or waxes off fake mustaches. Kendra also attaches lash extensions to existing fringe for a more defined flutter. Further face-pampering services include facials and makeup applications.
