Beauty & Spas in Sussex

In a sleek, modern space, alternating red and brown walls provide a bold backdrop to pastel-yellow seats and hanging teardrop-shaped ceiling lamps as Anton's Salon & MSpa's talented staff greets customers. Looks are transformed and bodies receive potent doses of relaxation via a full slate of services, including haircuts, massages, makeup applications, laser hair reduction, and Botox injections. Stylists happily snip off 9 inches of patrons’ ponytails or pet ponies’ tail hair so strands can be donated to Locks of Love before offering a trendy haircut free of charge. Additionally, the team of trained professionals helps churn out tomorrow’s beauty pros in Anton’s Academy, which features an apprentice program and workshops.

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.

Aesthetician Sara Bohlmann has many tools at her disposal for making skin look its best, from the Image skincare products she uses to create custom facials to the cosmetics she applies during special-occasion makeup sessions. Sara often follows facials with advice on maintaining a proper skincare routine, a practice that helps clients get the most out of Sara's services and stops them from removing their makeup with paint thinner. Sara's successful practices have been noticed by Shepherd Express Best of Milwaukee 2012 as she was nominated "Best Aesthetician" in the online publication's medical category.

A licensed and board-certified physician's assistant, Sandra Woods has more than 20 years' experience in women’s health and dermatology under her lab coat. The skin expert brings laser technology to her spa-like oasis, where she battles an array of skin conditions such as signs of aging, acne, and pores that won't shut up. Treatments at Smooth Skin begin with thorough consultations and can involve anything from resurfacing peels to laser hair removal. Sandra and her staff also smooth away wrinkles with help from Botox and plump up lips or biceps with fillers.

Having undergone extensive training, the staff at Salon Nova knows that the art of eyelash extensions amounts to more than "stick and go." They meticulously affix lids with LiquiFan lashes, achieving lengthier looks that range from subtle to glam. They also offer fill options that include future appointments to prevent gaps.

Expanding their services beyond the boutique's namesake, cosmetologists also wax away unwanted hair or flatter faces with makeup applications. For medical-grade skincare, a registered nurse softens wrinkles with dermal fillers and medical-grade skin peels.

When not relieving stress, she beautifies—her several body treatments include a detoxifying SeaSource wrap and a cocoa scrub designed to win favor with the partner you forgot to buy Valentine's chocolates for.
