S. Salon & Spa, Coral Gables

Experienced aesthetician Esther Losada anchors S. Salon & Spa. Coming from a professionally trained background in Redken Exchange, she pampers bodies from head to heels in environs adorned with abstract murals and modern art. After patrons receive a warm greeting, a skilled beautifier ushers them off for the hair, skin, or massage service of their choice. Facials packed with beneficial ingredients, such as amino acids, essential minerals, and peptides, soak into faces, forging increased circulation and a reduction in fine lines. Tense muscles find relief in massages, which harness Swedish, acupressure, or chakra-aligning techniques to dissipate tension that accumulates while working out inside a human-size hamster wheel. The expert nail beautifiers treat digits to refining mani-pedis crowned in OPI or Essie polishes and backed by pampering extras such as hot-towel treatments, hand massages, and softening oils and creams.
