Beauty & Spas in Wilton Manors

Linda Alfieri has been working in the hair-replacement industry for more than 30 years, but her destiny in the field was first forged even earlier. Her father, Charles Alfieri, was a renowned industry expert who developed a signature lace-front hairpiece. Now an expert in her own right, Linda has appeared on NBC 6 Miami and CBS 12 News to discuss her life-changing hair-replacement services and has worked with plastic surgeons, oncologists, and patients with alopecia and lupus.

Inside her salon, Linda and her team can custom design a kosher custom human-hair wig or recommend an appropriate salon treatment for thinning tresses. Alfieri has also created her own line of haircare products, including a silk-protein shampoo that helps rebalance the hair’s pH level and a holding spray that can help hair resist humidity and hold its favorite yoga pose for hours.

Since 1985, Guys & Dolls has been balancing an effort to cultivate a happy clientele with an unrelenting effort to give back to the community. The staffers render a varied slate of hair and nail services, but they've also raised funds for HIV organizations and fought cancer. Management and ownership have shifted somewhat in the salon's quarter century of business, but a holdover from the era of the original ownership—Francisco—carries the proverbial baton forward with the same dedication to conscientious work for customers and local organizations. The salon itself offers decorative splendor in the form of abundant green plant life, vibrant orange, green, and white sponge-painted walls, and shelving units that look like canoes pointed toward the ceiling. There are also some beautiful mannequin heads perched atop mirrors, reminding clients that if hair can look good on a lump of plastic, it can also look good on a real human or Pee-wee Herman.

A veteran of the Yale University School of Medicine and Memorial Healthcare System, Dr. Timothy Exarhos works to combat the effects of aging alongside his expert staff. Progressive technology and proprietary methods anchor Dr. Exarhos' cosmetic treatments, which include spider-vein removal, Botox injections, and dermal fillers. Along with its anti-aging procedures, the center also clears skin of unwanted hair, tattoos, and government-mandated barcodes using the industry's most innovative and safe laser treatments.

South Florida Skin Care Systems' resident medical aesthetician, Denise Yopp, draws from more than 30 years of experience to beautify faces, fight wrinkles, and repair skin damage using products with active antioxidant ingredients. Denise meets with each client for a complimentary consultation, during which she designs custom treatments that can target issues such as acne scars, sun damage, and sagging skin. Noninvasive photofacials smooth out wrinkles, and permanent makeup eliminates the need to befriend clowns for their lipstick and eyeliner while tolerating one too many honking sounds. When not making over visages with other services, including chemical peels and microdermabrasion treatments, Denise educates and lectures across the country.

Image Medical Spa’s team of doctors and aestheticians fights the effects of time’s ceaseless march with customized skincare treatments, medical-grade procedures, and vitamin-infused facials. Facials restore overly dry, oily, and glow-in-the-dark skin, while heavy-hitting Botox injections intimidate wrinkles, keeping them from foreheads and mouths for months as a time. To purge furry patches, aestheticians wield medical lasers or warm up waxes that whisk away hair to leave behind more shapely eyebrows or mysterious crop circles.
