Under the trained guidance of a board-certified surgeon and a registered nurse, the specialists at Discover Allure Skin Centre take a well-rounded approach to skincare that emphasizes both in-office and at-home attention. Every facial they perform incorporates sun protection to ward off UV damage, retinoids to keep skin firm, antioxidants to slow the signs of aging, and dermal growth factors to kindle cell renewal. As clients begin their appointments, medical aestheticians size up their skin types in order to devise comprehensive plans for keeping skin looking youthful, including daily care products from Obagi and SkinMedica and Saturday-morning cartoons. Periwinkle walls and chocolate wood floors lead visitors into private treatment rooms, where anxieties dissolve with the help of soothing music and suffused lighting.

As a child, Michael Cremar would watch, rapt, as his mother––a hairstylist of 28 years––enhanced a person’s natural beauty using nothing more than a pair of scissors and a little creativity. Inspired by his mom's magical touch, Cremar decided to follow in her footsteps, leading him to undergo rigorous training at the Aveda Institute, where he earned his cosmetology license. Today, he performs his own small miracles inside Shear Beauty, making dead ends disappear with a simple flick of his wrist and transforming frizzy, rebellious locks into smooth, straight strands with keratin treatments. Not content to limit his styling expertise to hair, he also offers waxing services to leave skin looking smooth and soft, as well as manicures and pedicures to soothe digits left stressed after a long week of typing, texting, or scratching the backs of itchy statues.

At Amazing Grace Productions, owner and licensed aesthetician Amber Preston brings her training from Aveda Institute Columbus to help clients achieve their most striking iterations through a full menu of salon services. Amber likes to keep things personal, devoting full attention to each person who walks through the door or rappels through the skylight. Before administering each custom facial, she thoroughly analyzes clients’ skin and whips up a tailored blend of ingredients sensitive to their issues. Amber’s flexible hours cater to devout nine-to-fivers by keeping flexible hours most weekdays—staying open until 11:45 p.m. Thursday and Friday—and always opening her doors on weekends.

Erin Rush wears a lot of hats. Aside from doling out highly customized facials and waxing services for both men and women, the licensed aesthetician is also certified in skin and cell rejuvenation and the use of professional-grade chemical peels. She's a licensed manicurist, excelling in creative design for gel and acrylic overlays, but equally adept at classic mani-pedi services for those who just want to relax. She also outfits bare faces during professional makeup applications and offers several styles of eyelash extensions, including lashes that are applied individually or by strip or tab.

Rather than rubbing their teeth with chalk, clients can come to Lucy Noelle for quick and easy teeth whitening treatments.
