Beauty & Spas in Upland

Helmed by Dr. Javier Rios, a physician who specializes in cosmetic skin treatments, Magnolia Skincare refurbishes skin with laser technology, microdermabrasion, and injectable treatments. Spider veins flee following sclerotherapy injections, and bursts of Botox and Restylane soften wrinkles without hanging faces on a clothesline. Cutera lasers penetrate below the skin to remove fuzz and reduce fine lines while leaving the surrounding tissue unharmed, and Fraxel lasers combine the effectiveness of ablative laser systems with the gentleness of nonablative machines in order to shrink acne scars and age spots.

Mimosa Nails exudes style with earth-toned walls enveloping white shelves lined with an array of vibrant nail polishes. As clients rest in pedicure thrones, technicians trim, shape, and polish nails or outfit fingers with faux nails made from acrylic pieces rather than marble slabs. In addition to nailcare, the aesthetically oriented team offers diligent care for the subtlest of features from eyelashes in need of extensions to brows in need of more complementary curvature.

Physician assistant Michelle Garcia-Reyes named her business according to a philosophy of exuberance: the goal of all her medical-grade facials and laser services is to make clients "feel unbelievably new." Long serving as a family doctor in the community, Dr. Joaquin Reyes lends his physician's expertise to the clinic and his collection of trick stethoscopes to waiting patients in need of entertainment.

After delivering packages for FedEx for 13 years, Kelli Robbins suffered a painful back injury. Unable to continue to lift and transport hefty bundles, Robbins had no choice but to flip to her career's next chapter—one devoted to helping others to overcome injuries through massage therapy. Robbins went back to school to study the art of kneading and now customizes many specialized massage modalities to fit clients' bodily needs like a painted-on tuxedo.

Kelli's private treatment room evokes her country-girl upbringing with a framed silhouette of a father and son clad in cowboy hats, propped up by earthy brown walls that enclose the soft sounds of strings, flutes, and flowing waters emanating from a sentient koosh ball.

The friendly technicians at E Nails pamper fingers and toes in their bright, clean salon using only disposable and sterilized tools. They coddle natural and acrylic nails alike while painting them with bright lacquers or French tips, the latter also being what Napoleon called the pointiest part of his hats. In addition, their skilled hands remove unwanted hair with waxing services or add fluttery length to lids with eyelash extensions.

Her Eyes' owner brings 12 years of experience to the salon, including work for the Oscars and Emmys, and leads a team of aestheticians specializing in enhancing lash lines with natural and glamorous looks. Within the spa, a row of private treatment rooms curtained with elegant black drapes stands beyond a chalkboard plastered with lash services, waxing options, and arithmetic problems left by wandering schoolchildren. Staff members also use Satin Smooth waxing products and aloe-vera gel to remove unwanted hair as painlessly as possible.
