Beauty & Spas in Watervliet

Donna Lussier got into the skincare business 21 years ago to help busy women like herself attain and maintain healthy, radiant complexions. The owner and licensed aesthetician of Belle Images Skincare is especially adamant about countering the physical signs of aging caused by stress, poor diet, sickness, or excessive time travel. She goes above and beyond one-time facials or microdermabrasion treatments to help clients maintain their results by implementing manageable and effective skincare regimens using botanical products enriched with vitamins, essential oils, and hydroxy acids. Donna is also experienced in oncology aesthetics, which address the specific needs of cancer patients.

The staff members at Studio 1 Hair Designers have a not-so-secret weapon—Redken professional color. For clients who want to try a shade without playing for keeps, they use demipermanent shades, which fade gradually with time. To cover grays, they employ permanent color. Their ombre treatments lend locks an edgy appearance, and color-maintenance sessions keep coiffures well hued. In addition to color treatments, the studio's designers texturize, cut, style, and condition hair, as well as tend to nails and skin.

Kellie Campbell brings more than three decades of experience to her beauty services at Advanced Skin Treatments. Always eager to add to her already vast knowledge of clinical treatments, the certified acne specialist and PCA clinician regularly attends advanced training courses, trade shows, and close-up tours of Mount Rushmore. She also provides waxing services for nearly any area of the anatomy stricken with unwanted stubble.

At New Attitudes Salon, talented stylists and aestheticians pamper clients with a spectrum of hair, skin, and body treatments. To keep hairdos in line and up to date, a CHI master educator can glide her scissors through locks or apply a flattering, ammonia-free color. Facials employ potent ingredients such as volcanic ash and glycolic acid to tighten pores and even out tone, and body scrubs refresh below-chin skin with mixtures of sea salt and organic essential oils. Treatment rooms fill with therapeutic scents of vanilla, lavender, and peppermint during spa appointments, ensuring clients leave with minds as calm as the audience at a snail race.

Inside a stylish space bedecked with posters of Hollywood icons such as Marilyn Monroe, James Dean, and Audrey Hepburn, the nine staffers of Legends Hair Salon revamp their clients' looks with hair, makeup, nail, and waxing services. Zebra prints and red decor help to create a fun, funky vibe as stylists retool 'dos using Redken products and each head's operating manual.
