Beauty & Spas in Sylvania

Drawing on 10 years of experience, owner and expert airbrusher Kathryn Swope lends bodies a rich tan without UV lights using all-natural tanning solutions at her new store location in Perrysburg. During a personalized consultation before each session, Kathryn chats with visitors to determine the most suitable hue for each skin type. She'll then swathe epidermises in a nourishing pretanning elixir that hydrates skin for optimal color and an even, all-over tone devoid of streaks, splotches, or unintentional pentagrams. Wielding her airbrushing equipment, Swope bathes bodies in a mist of aloe-based solution that reacts naturally with skin to create a convincing glow.

Stylist Ashlee Griggs zips throughout the Toledo area to glamorize gaggles of women in their own homes or carefully trims and tints tresses within the mint-green walls of her home base, Texxture a Salon. Before sculpting strands, Ashlee consults thoroughly with the client, poring over hairstyle photos and taking stock of each strand's tendency to curl during awkward first dates. An experienced Tigi colorist, Ashlee carefully calibrates highlights or all-over color, adding depth and shine to monochromatic hair. After color has set, Ashlee snips hair into a face-framing shape and locks it into place with a blow-dry and style. With help from new partner Erica Miller, Ashlee also whips out styling tools and makeup brushes to glamorize faces with an armada of liners and powders, which embellishes facial features for demurely posed wedding photos or showdowns with facial-recognition software in nearby grocery aisles.
