Though the cool aqua tones of Saroli Chocolat’s create the atmosphere of an elegant European-style chocolaterie, one barely notices the decor when confronted with shelves bursting with bricks of fudge, chocolates, and jars of confections. The shop’s artisan chocolatiers hand-make each of the small-batch treats, from the old-fashioned confections to the European truffles, which can be emblazoned with custom logos for a wedding or a warning to a rival dentist. Staffers use Belgian chocolates in most of their confections and import different varieties of licorice from around the world. They can package the treats up for clients to take home or array chocolates or gelato.

The brick storefront that houses Salon 162 has been a destination for style since the 1980s, when it first earned repute as a popular barbershop. Things have certainly changed since then, but not so much as they might appear. Star-shaped lamps, bright yellow furniture, and local artwork have replaced the peppermint barber pole, but owner Nancy still holds fast to the longstanding tradition of good grooming. She and her team of stylists cut, color, and highlight hair with professional products from Pureology. A firm believer in keeping up with the times, Nancy enrolls in yearly trainings to learn the newest techniques for smoothing hair and ushering confused bees out of beehive hairdos.

There is no cowlick too cunning or lock too lackluster to escape the expertise of Coco Fringe's team of stylists.

Utilizing the newest techniques in haircutting, the scissor shamans at Coco Fringe snip, sculpt, and style follicles atop women's ($43–$55) and men's ($30–$38) noggins to create shapes of which Picasso only dreamt. To start accessorizing every outfit with a fresh autumn hue, opt for an all-over color ($80+). Or, add some caramel highlights ($100+ when added to full color) to sweetly accompany earmuffs made of hollowed-out green apples. Call ahead to schedule an appointment.

Floating Feather provides a full menu of spa services in a soothing, upscale environment. Over the course of approximately 30 minutes per treatment, your opposable knuckle sticks will be equipped with shiny new finger helmets and toe chapeaus worthy of a Costanza hand model. Put your digits where the skilled aesthetician can see them, and you'll be rewarded with a neat trimming of fingernails and toenails. Perfectly symmetrical tips will take the place of formerly unruly edges, and cuticles gently groomed into a more sightly disposition. Lotion application and a foot soak leaves handlebars and kickstands feeling buttery and spry. A deliberate polishing finishes up your transformation from hand abandon to extreme extremity envy.

To Dr. Michael A. Duncan, one thing is clear: the body is no mere machine. It may consist of working parts such as the spine, brain, heart, and lungs, but it is so much more than the sum of these parts. Whereas traditional medicine focuses on treating each part of the body individually, Dr. Mike takes an inside-out approach that respects the body's capacity for self-healing. The chiropractor checks and adjusts the spine during routine exams, gently easing any blockages that might affect the body's innate ability to control its own systems. He's so convinced of the lifelong benefits of chiropractic that he's even devised special care for children and newborns.
