Beauty & Spas in Superior

Donna Lapetina, owner and head aesthetician at Skin Solutions Medical Spa, has spent the last decade caring for aging skin—including her own. Donna and her team work their age-defying magic under the direction of board-certified dermatologist Dr. Sheila Boyle, whose career includes time as a flight surgeon, a lieutenant commander in the military, and a volunteer speaker on skin cancer. The staff’s specialty services include microdermabrasion, peels, and facials, as well as intensive acne treatments. Dr. Boyle performs all Botox and dermal-filler procedures herself to safely keep crow’s-feet, frown lines, and worry lines at bay. Clients receive their treatments in private, earth-toned rooms that mix the serenity of a spa with the professionalism of a medical office.

Rather than buying leftover potions from local sorcerers, Skin Solutions Medical Spa has developed its own line of products, including cleansers, eye creams, and an exfoliating scrub. The gentle solutions are formulated with ingredients such as green-tea extract, oil of calendula, and cranberry extract.

Over the course of her career, Venus Eyelash Extensions owner Amanda Salas has revamped lashes of every length, thickness, and texture. She uses her ample know-how to give her clients a look that's bold, yet natural in appearance. Using a semipermanent glue that won't irritate the skin or impede flirtatious winking, she attaches extensions one by one, beautifying clients with either synthetic, mink, or color-enhanced varieties.

Within the tranquil treatment rooms at EuroSlim Centre (formerly European Slimming), Angel and her staff use noninvasive, computer-controlled technology to beautify clients' skin and bodies. The team draws upon more than 12 years of experience at its former location in London to recommend treatments, employing infrared-based devices such as the Cellutronic system to melt fat and the Bioskin Las system to resurface skin while promoting collagen growth. The signature Transion machine contracts muscles with a low-level electric current, simulating the effects of a workout without the repetitive commands to "feel the burn."

Twisted Sisters Salon and Spa’s team of cosmetologists and nail technicians beautifies clients with an array of salon services, including haircare, waxing, and mani-pedis. Facials help renew faces, whereas airbrush tanning adds a head-turning bronze finish to customers who spend too much time working in the office or vacationing in a dark cave.

At Cloud Nine Float Center, visitors experience weightlessness without having to leave the earth. They climb into the Tranquility Tank, a chamber brimming with 10 inches of warm water and 660 pounds of epsom salt. The salt’s immediate purpose is two-fold: to keep guests floating on their backs and nourish the skin without causing pruning. The combination of soothing salt and balmy water can also assuage multiple afflictions, which range from stress and insomnia to arthritis and back pain. It’s even believed to help ease anger and boost concentration and energy.

The tank attendant customizes sessions by allowing guests to opt for music or silence and open and close the hatch as they wish. Clients can also use a pillow to keep their ears and the family gems hidden within above water.

Kerstin of Creme de la Creme Face & Body Care runs her spa solo, but, as a certified aesthetician and massage therapist, she has all of the skills that her clients need. She analyzes each customer’s skin to select the proper skincare products from an arsenal that includes Phytobiodermie, Sanitas, and Goddess Garden, all of which are completely natural. Aside from facials, her specialties include mineral make-up applications, soothing eye treatments, and massages in styles such as deep-tissue, Swedish, hot-stone, and Thai.
