Face & Skin Care in West Raleigh

Inside Destination Tans' mint-green, highly sanitized salon, knowledgeable staffers work with clients to tailor tanning regimens. UV-tanning sessions take place while reclining on Ergoline beds or practicing celebratory touchdown dances inside a standup booth. Alternatively, a trained technician is on hand to create an even, natural-looking bronze using the Norvell spray-tanning system.

The licensed aestheticians at Oochie Coo beautify bodily exteriors with waxing, spray tanning, eyelash extensions, and other skin services such as microdermabrasion. The team also adheres to the belief that cleanliness is next to goddessliness, remaining sure to never reuse waxes or other delicate materials after a service is complete.

Leah Magner knows how to keep faces smooth, healthy, and glowing. At Adara Spa, she works with a team of beauty professionals who provide a wide selection of specialty aesthetic services, including nailcare, massages, and waxing. Leah uses the help of top-shelf products from Éminence and Image to remove dirt and oil from pores and exfoliate dead skin cells. Her facials control acne, promote cell turnover, and firm the skin. Facial peels and microdermabrasion are also on her repertoire. She doesn't just work with visages, though. Her targeted services address clients’ problem areas, including a back facial to purge skin congestion.

Treating tense muscles is like bargain hunting—it can conserve a lot of money in the long run but shouldn’t be done with the aid of a shady character in a dark alley. Amid soothing décor featuring earthy tones and violet hues, clients of Massage Envy begin their session with an initial consultation that determines which customized massage will provide the best results. For example, a sports massage provides treatment specific to the athlete’s sport, reflexology targets points on the extremities to balance the nervous system, and deep-tissue massage unties knots while relieving chronic muscle tension. Trigger-point therapy alleviates tight areas within muscle tissue through cycles of isolated pressure and release, while a Swedish massage relaxes the whole body with long, gliding strokes. The professional massage therapists at Massage Envy will apply the necessary muscle treatment with pinpoint precision and buttery smoothness during convenient hours, including evenings and weekends.

The staff at Full Face & Fabulous have a knack for makeup. Take owner and lead aesthetician Danielle Billingsley, for example. Though she originally worked behind a Bobbi Brown counter at Nordstrom, Danielle’s career skyrocketed when she became a freelance travel artist. Her work has since appeared in magazines and on the runways at fashion shows.

Full Face & Fabulous is more than just a makeup bar, however. There are plenty of other aesthetic services to choose from; clients can relax while they receive one of five different facials, add length to their lashes with eyelash extensions, or get rid of a persistent bunny tail with a waxing treatment. Danielle and her staff can also work with clients to set up bridal makeup services, waxing parties, and even life-coaching sessions.

A new tanning salon in the Raleigh area, Coral Reef Tanning provides a welcoming atmosphere where visitors can darken their pelts for hunting season and acquire an alluring shine for fishing season. The helpful melanin-manipulating experts at Coral Reef help customers assess their skin types and provide instruction on how to maximize each tan without leaving the Earth’s atmosphere. One month of unlimited tanning includes the use of a traditional low-pressure bed, a high-pressure stand-up booth, and a powerful anti-gravity bubble chamber that harnesses the lava power of Mount Vesuvius. Low-pressure beds allow tanners to relax in a cocoon of brilliance, while high-pressure booths deliver deeper tanning in a quick and convenient stand-up scenario. The skin designers at Coral Reef will help you choose the best method to achieve your desired results. Additionally, body-bacon broilers will enjoy a convenient location that’s near Raleigh’s colleges and spontaneously accumulating crowds of pasty-skinned admirers.
