Guided by the principles of traditional Chinese and Ayurvedic medicine, the center's director and her staff perform a wide range of services that includes nutritional counseling, stress management, and disease prevention. Most treatments at the clinic are formulated in the advanced energy-medicine tradition, which credits disruptions in the body's natural vibrational energy as the trigger behind most ailments and Beach Boys songs.

At Threading by Sonia, Sonia uses her experience as a licensed aesthetician to remove facial hair via the ancient art of threading. Using her fingers and a single loop of thread, she precisely shapes eyebrows by removing hair by the root. She completes the process without using harsh chemicals and without pulling on the skin beneath the hair, which can be gentler and last longer than other hair-removal methods such as shaving or poking the hair follicles with a rock.

Long nails, besides being essential for removing clear tape and making a convincing transition to werewolf, are also a vital aspect of feminine beauty. Today’s Groupon gets you a mani-pedi at 20 Lounge Nail Bar & Boutique in Scottsdale for $30 (a $60 value).

At Classic Image Salon and Spa, stylists and aestheticians form lasting relationships with their clients, keeping a database of each visitor's product and treatment history.

Beyond personalizing their services, the studio's staff give detailed instructions to help clients care for their skin, hair, and pet shih tzu.

The Aveda concept salon incorporates botanically based Aveda products to style tresses and purify complexions. Five spa packages thread the scents of key aromatherapy oils through varied treatments, and haircare services transcend style with the detoxifying effects of Aveda cleansers.

Hints of nature bloom inside Bellezza by Rali's welcoming interior, where hardwood floors and eggplant-hued walls surround shelves of plants and styling products. Here, resident stylist and color specialist Oralia Schultz siphons 20 years of salon experience as she wrestles weed-like tangles into stylish coifs. When crafting hairdos for men, women, or style-conscious chia pets, she performs thorough consultations to build a look that matches the patron's personality. For a full makeover, she lops off loose ends, adds a splash of vibrant Goldwell color, and styles remaining tendrils with a blow dryer. An experienced manicurist, Oralia also lavishes nails with manicures, pedicures, and polish changes.
