Suissa Salon has been crafting individual head fashions for more than 20 years through the skilled hands of talented stylists.

Start off your transformation with the luxurious lathering of a warm shampoo treatment. Then a series of fancy maneuvers motivated by your own unique follicle vision fancify mere hair into a slick 'do for any occasion on the town, in the town, or casually circumnavigating the town before the admiring eyes of others.

Dr. Pat Palumbo marries an artistic eye with advanced aesthetic technology to lead BodySculpture Nova's board-certified staff in restoring patients to natural looking, more youthful versions of their former selves with customized, minimally invasive cosmetic procedures. Clients pad along hardwood floors through the newly renovated haven, passing plush furnishings and contemporary décor on their way to comfortable private treatment rooms. Each patient receives a complimentary consultation, where the doctors listen to medical history and aesthetic concerns before packing patients' noggins full of info on possible treatment options and the scientific history of lasers in flash-card form. Visitors can opt to renovate facades with non-invasive medspa treatments, including dermal fillers and professional-strength chemical peels, or achieve more dramatic results with skillfully executed advanced procedures, such as liposuction or laser removal for tattoos, hair, and nail fungus.

When hands and feet are treated at Present Nail Spa, they aren’t just buffed and polished. They’re soaked in red wine or smothered in a watermelon, baobab, and banana mask as clients breathe in exotic or fruity scents. Of course staffers also shape and polish nails, but that's just the beginning. They also treat clients to pomegranate sea-salt scrubs to fight aging, milk and honey to soften and moisturize skin, and green- and white-tea masks to make a gingerbread man’s hands taste better. Other body parts grab the spotlight during the nail spa’s face- and body-waxing services and applications of eyelash extensions.
