Beauty & Spas in Plainfield

The gurus at Colorific Hair Color Salon believe that in order to successfully transform looks, you need a plan. Before any strands shift hues, a director colorist meets with new clients to craft an attack strategy based on their hair type, facial features, and desire to camouflage themselves in a field of wheat. A dedicated technician then custom blends a mix of Schwarzkopf color products, deftly painting and using foils to create the desired look.

Although their products are high quality and their services are indulgent, Colorific’s crew keeps costs low. To do this, they let patrons blow-dry and finish their own look at a self-styling station. But for those seeking a full-service salon day, they also offer precision cuts, styling lessons, and makeup applications using the natural, preservative-free bareMinerals line by Bare Escentuals.

Earth Mama Esthetics owner and aesthetician Karen Ley understands that the success of a skincare regimen hinges on the quality of the ingredients, which is why she stocks her spa exclusively with Dermalogica skincare products. As a Dermalogica certified skin therapist, Karen and her staff nourish and hydrate faces with three client-customized facials, a custom chemical peel, and microdermabrasion treatments. Robe-clad men and women can also partake in full-body waxing and ear piercing using Studex products.

The interior at this strip-mall spa is likewise changed with warm red and cream hues; four newly built and remodeled treatment rooms filled with high-quality aesthetic machines greets guests with the promise of imminent transformation.

For more than a decade, the technicians at Spray of Sunshine have been safely darkening skin using FDA-approved airbrush-tanning techniques. During 30-minute airbrush-tanning sessions, techs spray micromists of DHA bronzer, which bonds to skin to produce the appearance of a natural, even tan without the labors of lounging on a beach chair strapped to a sun-bound rocket. Tans typically last up to 10 days, depending on upkeep and maintenance practices.

The efficient tanning team can also perform mobile services at the home or office. The technicians arrive with all necessary equipment, carefully coating bodies in bathrooms or garages to avoid giving tans to already-entitled housecats.

Eterna MedSpa's dedicated staff of doctors and beauty specialists provides clients with an array of customized, medically-based services. The treatment will begin with a skin consultation in which an experienced face mechanic checks epidermises for compatibility with the treatment and worn down fanbelts causing nasolabial folds to squeak with every smile. Faces continue to garner attention with the dermaplaning service (a $100 value), which exfoliates dead skin cells lounging along the outer layers of the skin. Utilizing a sharp blade and a steady hand, the pain-free process is designed to shave off dull skin cells and fine hairs while requiring no downtime. To complement newly silkified complexions, skull blankets are finished with a sunscreen application infused with liquefied compliments on your newly glowing visage.
