Beauty & Spas in Truckee

North Lake Massage & Skin Care taps the talents of Kristen Cocca Pepin, a former certified athletic trainer, and Bethany Lambrecht, a licensed aesthetician, to create an oasis for relaxation and rejuvenation. Kristen, Michelle, and Corina offer a variety of massage modalities, which range from Swedish and deep tissue to ashiatsu oriental bar therapy—an ancient Eastern Asian treatment that utilizes bars, creams, and oils that target inflammation and initiate pain relief. Bethany, Roxy, and Kris offer Bioelements facials that are customized to each client’s skin needs and include a retinue of cleansing and rejuvenating applications. Other services at North Lake Massage & Skin Care include airbrush tanning, infrared sauna, and waxing.

Led by a stylist with more than two decades of experience, m Studio’s expert aestheticians trim tresses and whisk away unwanted hair with high-quality products and able shearsmanship. In the hands of careful waxing technicians, Cirepil Blue wax, imported from France and formulated to forefend irritation, encapsulates undesirable hairs, preparing beach-bound bodies for unbeatable skinny-dipping relay-race times.

The skin savants at Allure Medspa harness DermaQuest products and a diamond-tipped baton to beautify façades with face-restoring treatments. The roughly half-hour procedure begins with a facial cleansing to clear away pore-clogging dirt, oil, and footprints from loitering butterflies. After scrubbing skin, the visage wizards wave a handheld wand over epidermises to magically remove worn-out skin cells and unruly wrinkles with a gentle stream of particles. An affable aesthetician then applies a cooling mask to chill skin and maximize comfort before infusing mugs with a vitamin-rich cream that welcomes wide-eyed skin cells to their new home. After visages shed the blemish-ridden upper layer, pure lower layers emerge, revealing newly tightened and toned skin. Slight redness may occur, and downtime generally lasts for several hours or as long as it takes a fairy godmother to answer her pager.

With dozens of locations sprinkled around the sunshine state, California Sun makes it easy for tanners to bronze without fear of sunburn. As sunless bathers daydream within two levels of Ergoline beds, melanin rises to the skin's surface at the beck and call of a high-pressure cooling system or adjustable face tanners, leaving bodies with a golden glow in just 10–12 minutes. For those who prefer the misty kiss of a sunless spray tan, formulas by VersaSpa, Mystic Tan, or Norvell grace guests with new shades that can last from four to seven days and won't leave skin looking unnaturally orange or supernaturally blue.

The highly trained medical staff of Aesthetics Medical Training & Spa levels out crinkled brows to produce a smooth, youthful appearance with FDA-approved Botox. With a series of miniscule injections, Aesthetics Medical Training & Spa's specialist freezes the muscles that trigger fine lines, wrinkles, and bulging forehead biceps. The spa's licensed doctors and registered nurses also use the facility to teach other professionals the art and science of aesthetic procedures, so patients can relax in the adept care of a teacher's teacher. Botox treatments require no downtime and results last for up to four months, or about the amount of time it takes to annihilate an everlasting gobstopper.

A brushed metal sign atop a cabinet of top industry products sets the stage for the experience at Pacific Sun Tanning Company—a contemporary tanning salon rated No. 1 by the readers of Reno News & Reviews for the last five years. The salon's UV specialists undertake Smart Tan's comprehensive certification before bending the sun's radiation to their will, learning the ins and outs of ray exposure, selecting ideal skincare products, and discerning which compliments will coax Helios into sharing his private stash of solar beams. They can also eschew the sun entirely and bestow beachy glows through custom spray-tan services. The popular tanning facilities and the staff's enthusiastic demeanor have expanded into six locations throughout the Reno and Sparks.
