At Glow Skin Care and Lashes' location inside Felisha's Salon, cosmetologist and aesthetician Melinda Spreng strives to boost patrons’ natural beauty via a slate of skin-smoothing services from waxing treatments to European facials.

In her 13 years of spa experience, Vy Seng has never met a strand of hair that she could not remove with a swipe of warm wax or a nail bed that she could not improve with a brush of vibrant polish. A consummate perfectionist when it comes to all things beauty, Vy calls upon the wisdom she has collected over the years to gently wax faces and bodies or pamper hands and feet with mani-pedis. Stationed inside the stress-free oasis of Your Hair Salon & Day Spa, she works by appointment only to ensure that each client receives nothing less than her undivided attention.

Bursts of bright tropical colors mingle in the lobby of Le Calme, where clients sip complimentary herbal tea as they await rejuvenating massages and organic fresh fruit facials. Le Calme’s massage therapists use volcanic hot rocks, Thai massage stretches, and well-timed doses of chocolate to locate and soothe exact areas of tension. Treatments include princess day spa parties, four-handed massage, cupping, reflexology, facials, and airbrush tanning. Afterward, clients can browse the boutique or request a custom-mixed herbal tea to address specific health concerns.

The aestheticians at Vanish administer dozens of facial treatments that keep skin looking young and healthy. Depending on the client's goals, they might apply one of five chemical peels or one of five facials, such as a gentlemen's facial or deep-clarifying acne facial. For more intense makeovers, they use cosmetic injectables such as Botox. Additionally, Vanish's staff beautifies clients' minds with acupuncture treatments and guided meditation sessions.

Best friends since high school, the three owners of Hush Salon and Day Spa are always excited to head into work. Pops of bright color add a feminine touch to the open floor plan and exposed-brick walls. Thirteen stylists and aestheticians circle the space, snipping hair into posh bobs, painting nails with bright polishes, or decorating faces with professional makeup. Refreshing facial treatments tailor to skin woes, such as signs of aging and acne, and body wraps cocoon limbs in thermal energy, botanical oils, and natural ingredients, such as rice bran and supernovae.

Early on in her career, Stephanie M. Nelson spent three months in China, learning natural healing secrets from the masters themselves and training in acupuncture, traditional Chinese medicine, and massage. The experience inspired her—she realized that most patients were able to receive daily health care, consistent pain management, and free lollipops because costs were low and the spirit of community was high. Now, more than six years later, she channels that same spirit at Lion Acupuncture, Herbs and Massage, where she performs age-old practices such as acupuncture, cupping, and herbal medicine to unblock the body’s flow of chi energy and, as she told TucsonCitizen.com, "help [her patients] overcome obstacles." She also employs more than 16 years of experience in massage therapy to intuit custom strokes for each of her patients, working to dislodge tension and assuage muscular ailments.:m]]
