Beauty & Spas in Woodburn

Mother of three Hali Owens has been creating artful coifs for nearly a decade and a half, choosing to steer away from a possible career in criminal justice to follow her true passion. A Vegas transplant, Owens prides herself on her ability to listen to clients, honing in on their wants, needs, and personality to shape memorable styles and give each guest the knowledge needed to re-create the look at home. She wields products from local favorite sidlab as well as Paul Mitchell and Kevin Murphy, skillfully coloring, shearing, and styling manes of guests nestled in chrome treatment chairs amid the original artwork of L'Attrait Salon & Spa. Besides standard salon services, Owens also doles out cosmetic packages including Saturday Night Special and Evening on the Town, in addition for giving tips on how to best water sideburns.

Estheticians Karlene Wishloff helps her patrons feel even younger with exfoliating facials, gentle microdermabrasions, waxing, and anti-aging light therapy. Rather than using harmful substances such as petroleum products, mineral oils, and well-aged Windex, the seasoned skin expert removes dead skin cells and reduces hyperpigmentation with plant-based products, fruit extracts, and non-invasive applications of concentrated light. Wishloff operates out of Park Avenue Salon, a space marked by earth-toned walls, leafy potted plants, bamboo, and comfy leather chairs.

Infamous Tattoo’s experienced tattoo artists and piercers artfully adorn their clients’ bodies with custom body art and safe, precise piercings hung with sterile stainless-steel or titanium jewelry. Owners and tattoo artists Mat Casey and Jason Greer channel years of experience into their epidermal art, from hyper-realistic grayscale portraits to lavish word art while skillfully customizing pieces to match clients’ whims or deep love of talking cheeseburgers. Piercer Damian offers a creative variety of piercings, from standard navel bars to any imaginable curve of the ear, specializing in anchor dermals that add an unconventional accent to swathes of skin. His passion for piercing stems from his first puncture at 15, and since then he has performed more than 500 piercings, dedicating himself to ensuring his clients’ healing processes go smoothly. The shop also offers a wealth of piercing-compatible jewelry onsite to decorate fresh or long-healed piercings or body-modification-inclined refrigerators. Before their appointment, pre-adorned people can sink into a plush ebony-hued couch, tapping feet on the sleek ochre floorboards and admiring paintings and tattoo art mounted on the burgundy walls.

Visitors shouldn’t be fooled by the small space that Healthy Look Salon inhabits—it still manages to fit in areas for beauty services from head to toe. A nine-woman styling staff comprises the salon’s hair division, clipping and highlighting locks or adding hair extensions to make it easier for helper monkeys to climb up on clients’ shoulders. Two nail technicians brush polish over fingernails and toenails, and an on-staff massage therapist kneads tense muscles in 30-, 60-, and 90-minute increments. Ever conscious of its community, the salon takes part in such charitable events as Relay for Life.

The team of trainers and aestheticians at Vitality Wellness Center helps guests restore beauty both inside and out with an array of services tailored to fitness, skincare, and mental well-being. Zumba, yoga, and belly-dance workouts take place in an airy studio with wooden floors, colorful murals, and a smoothie bar, allowing students to replenish lost electrolytes and continue campaigns of eradication against perfidious fruit. An on-site infrared sauna revs metabolisms, and body wraps purge toxins by enveloping limbs in mud, aloe vera, and seaweed. Vitality Wellness Center's aestheticians further pursue the center’s relaxing mission by sloughing dead skin cells from faces and dusty masquerade disguises during skin-pampering facials.

Salon Paradise Owner Kim Lewis has devoted her professional life to infusing her clients with a boost of confidence and beauty, spending nearly a quarter of a century in the hair industry and leasing a station at Classic Touch Hair Salon in Keizer Plaza. Today, Kim Lewis owns the salon itself—now Salon Paradise—where stylists and technicians sculpt hair, shape toes and fingertips, and wax skin to a smooth silkiness with a touch of pampered luxury. “There’s a lot of therapy that goes into a pedicure,” Lewis told the Keizertimes. “The massages alone are 10 to 15 minutes.” Lewis applies this full-service ethic to each treatment in the unisex salon’s repertoire, from hair feathering to deep-relaxation hot-stone massages.

As visitors enter the temple to tranquility, a verdant collection of potted flowers and leafy ornamental plants evokes the atmosphere of a distant tropical vacation spot or geographically adjacent greenhouse. Complementary scalp massages cherry top each haircut, and brow waxing, shellac manicures, and antifrizz hair-smoothing treatments produce glamorous makeovers.
