In a clean and relaxing environment, Ava Nails transforms nails into miniature masterpieces with professional polishes and odor-free product options. During the pedicure, a green-tea foot scrub evicts unwanted skin cells and softens trotters, and complimentary hot tea keeps mouths from getting jealous. A Thai reflexology foot massage blends the ideas of Chinese reflexology and Thai pressure points, invigorating, soothing, and relaxing the whole body. Said to help stimulate blood circulation and bestow benefits similar to acupuncture, the treatment may relieve pain and stiffness, help flush toxins from the body, or inspire clients to rekindle an old affinity for playing connect the dots.

The Spa of Pravana pairs its popular tanning services with spa treatments to help clients look and feel great. Visitors can use one of the spa's UV-tanning beds for a sun-kissed glow in as little as 8 minutes or step into a Mystic Tan standup booth for some quick spray-on color. Airbrush technicians are also available in the spa or on location to give clients a sunless tan with an FDA-approved solution instead of prune juice. Pravana also enlists the help of a board-certified doctor, licensed aesthetician, and certified massage therapist, so clients can supplement their freshly tanned physiques with youthful complexions, clear and soft skin, or relaxed muscles.

A Paul Mitchell signature salon, Creative Cuts is owned by Paul and Kathy Moseley, who lead a team of 10-plus stylists in service of a single goal: to provide expert hair services in a relaxed, family-friendly environment. As stylists trim hair to clients’ specifications, apply color or texturing products, and create stunning updos, aestheticians wax or tint eyebrows to beautify faces or support claims of Vulcan descent.

Dedicated to supporting their community, Kathy and Paul are also founding members of the Meet The Needs ministry, which provides food, clothing, and home goods to people in need. To that end, the couple donates 20% of the proceeds from all Paul Mitchell products sold in the salon to this cause.

Licensed aesthetician Debby Runner helps whisk away wrinkles and blemishes using advanced skincare techniques. One of them, the HydraFacial system, was featured on an episode of The Doctors. It can purge dirt and dead skin cells from the pores and hydrate the skin, which helps reduce the appearance of blemishes and fine lines. Beyond basic skincare, Debbie also performs professional makeup applications for women and teens to bring out their natural beauty or jump-start their careers as mimes.
