West Memphis, AR Beauty and Salons

The beauty experts at Merle Norman Cosmetic Studio take a personal interest in their clients’ pores. They perform complimentary assessments of skin type before plucking the proper makeup from a varied inventory, ensuring foundations and shadows flatter complexions and compound eyes. Comprised of cosmetics and skincare from the Merle Norman line, which was born in Los Angeles in 1931, the beautifying powders and serums can be tested in-store before purchase. That means customers can sweep bronzing powder across cheekbones and seal in the sun-kissed hues with Expert Touch Finishing Spray before deciding if it really matches their favorite ski mask. In addition to the studio’s namesake line, staffers also stock professional OPI nail polish, perfumes, and accessories.

At the Springboro outpost of the Merle Norman franchise, beauty consultants tailor recommendations to every client after a free skin assessment. Through this careful analysis, they can identify both cosmetic and cleansing products to address issues such as acne, aging, and ears that keep sliding down. They can also teach clients how to apply these products with makeover sessions. Beyond aesthetic products, the Springboro location carries apparel and accessories from lines such as Vera Bradley and Life is good.

At Dermatology Realm, Dr. Adam Baker, a board-certified physician who focuses on aesthetic skincare, enhances skin health and beauty with services such as laser treatments, cosmetic injections, and minimally invasive liposuction with ultrasonic waves. He smoothes wrinkles with Botox and Juvéderm injections, generates new collagen with an infrared laser during nonsurgical facelifts, and removes body hair and spider veins with lasers. And no matter what treatment clients need, they can schedule a free consultation with the doctor to determine how to fix their skin problems and debate the merits of cooking with cornstarch.

Committed to offering nail services in a sanitary and piranha-free environment, the spa’s six highly trained nail technicians focus on providing high-quality treatments while using clean and well-maintained equipment. In addition to basic mani-pedi treatments, the staff administers additional services such as long-lasting Shellac manicures and pedicures. For added pampering, guests can enjoy glasses of wine and treatments such as relaxing hot-stone foot massages.

At NuBody Concepts of Memphis, three MDs pool their experience to perform advanced cosmetic treatments with virtuosic skill. They’ve used their expertise with Aqualipo—a process that infuses liposuction with water to minimize downtime and discomfort—to train other doctors in the procedure, and appeared on Channel 9's Eyewitness News doing a real surgery. Their other treatments include NaturalFill, which uses the body's natural fats to fill and contour the face, lips, buttocks, or doctoral theses. Though the procedures wield state-of-the art technology, the office itself has a homey vibe: yellow walls, plush couches, and flat-screen TVs keep patients comfortable on visits.

The practitioners at Unique Medical Centers function as private investigators for clients in pain; instead of simply treating symptoms they strive to uncover their source. They work to suss out root causes in initial complimentary consultations and assist in ailments from whiplash to insomnia to stress. They aim to alleviate chronic aches and injuries with chiropractic treatments, relying on all-natural solutions rather than surgery, medications, or permanent band-aids. They also coach clients through supervised weight-loss programs, which instill wholesome diet and exercise habits in patients of most body types.
