Encounters Salon and Day Spa’s master beautifiers harness organic and designer products to spruce up nails and hair, sharing opinions with one another to ensure that each client gets the perfect style and service. During the spa manicure, nail whisperers groom cuticles and shape nails before applying a coat of polish to brighten fingers more effectively than an evening of flicking lightning bugs. Shellac manicures go one step further with a chip-resistant coat of color, cured by a UV lamp, to yield a mirror-finish shine that endures for up to two Earth weeks.

A conditioning treatment seals in moisture before stylists use dyes from brands such as Pureology and Redken to festoon strands with sun-kissed shades or all-over color.
