Salons in Wantagh

The certified muscle magicians and epidermis invigorators at Gerard's The Spa soothe both skin and senses with a line of all-natural Italian products. Gerard's Signature Facial deploys classic European facial techniques, which delightedly open pores like cash-filled birthday cards. Gentle exfoliation and a facial massage precede the skin-swathing customized mask, and a final element of nourishing moisturizer adds vivification to complexions. A symphony of oils, creams, and lotions make beautiful music throughout the Swedish massage, which uses long, connective strokes and kneading to improve blood flow, stimulate the lymphatic system, relieve physical tension, and melt stress into a puddle of biodegradable papier-mâché. A glass of wine puts the cherry on top of the relaxation sundae.

The wellness professionals at Inside Out Beauty Bar know that healthy bodies are beautiful, so they nourish clients with botanical tonics that are either edible or topical. To enhance overall physical health, they offer juice-cleanse programs that "hydrate, alkalize, energize" bodies for a leaner figure. They also whip up à la carte smoothies and beverages with fruits and veggies freshly harvested from Peter Rabbit's knapsack. To enhance skin, they carry organic, all-natural, cruelty-free product lines that deliver customized results: some products moisturize and replenish vitamins; others boost proteins and correct skin damage. Staff members complement health-based treatments with cosmetic services including makeup applications and eyelash extensions.

With Glo Natural, you don't have to go to the beach to get a tan, but you also don't have to go to the studio. Glo Natural's technicians travel to clients' homes to bronze skin on-location with a vitamin-enriched, hydrating airbrush-tanning solution that boasts the ability to stave off signs of aging and diminish the appearance of cellulite. Customers can also luxuriate in a 45-minute facial wrap, which produces a lifting effect to firm and invigorate the skin and soften fine lines and wrinkles.

To stay abreast of all the changing fashions, Styling Haircutters’ expert staffers educate themselves on the latest hairstyles and coloring techniques for women, men, and children. They put this razor-sharp knowledge to use in other arenas besides the traditional cut and style, performing waxing, threading, and even teeth whitening services. They also offer perms, relaxers, hair feathers, and extensions made from real human hair.

Each membership level offers a distinct set of benefits, ranging from the simple tonal bliss of the basic bronze-level experience to the top-tier transformative power of lounge-chair tanning with the diamond package. Depending on the individual level and bed, guests can enjoy on-board amenities that may include the use of climate control, cool misting sprays, aromatic fragrances, and MP3 player inputs. Certain beds even have an open-air design to help alleviate feelings of claustrophobia and burritophobia, the fear of appearing delicious.
