Beauty & Spas in Pleasant Hill

Hair at the Ritz’s stylists join the long-enduring battle to tame wild strands with a one-two combo of frizz-fighting treatments. Clients tired of chasing flyaway strands on a daily basis yield their locks to the Keratin Complex hair-therapy system or the Zerran RealLisse vegan formula, which is packed with wheat, corn, and other crops imported from the moon. Both treatments straighten kinks, enhance shine, and block frizz for months.

Although smoothing topsy-turvy tresses is one of Hair at the Ritz's specialties, the salon can handle far more than a few disobedient curls. Stylists knowledgeable on the latest beauty trends cut, color, and style hairdos for men, women, and children, reimagining manes with the help of Enjoy, Moroccanoil, and Matrix products. Nail technicians, meanwhile, buff and polish fingers and toes, and aestheticians remove unwanted hair with warm wax. Hair at the Ritz’s team also puts the finishing touches on outer appearances with hair extensions, henna tattoos, and even permanent makeup.

Certified and experienced massage therapist Nathaniel Bangs helps relieve stress and tension with his pampering Swedish, deep-tissue, acupressure, and reflexology massages. Nathaniel specializes in therapeutic massage, which combines techniques from Swedish, deep-tissue, and sports massage. He also offers repetitive stress relief for desk-job workers, relaxing tight muscles in the necks, shoulders, and backs of clients, focusing each massage on each person’s treatment goals.

Inside The Beauty Source, aesthetician and Skinsational founder Maddy Schlie nurtures the outer beauty of her clients with meticulous waxing, facials, airbrush tanning, and makeup treatments. Her beauty spa evolved from her passion for the beauty industry and her desire to run a small business not lorded over by a company-issued boss bot. As the spa’s experienced and sole aesthetician, Amanda single-handedly primps patrons from head to toe with body wraps and flirty eyelash applications.

Located within the Beauty Source, Don't Be Pedi Nail Salon, LLC 's owner and licensed nail technician, Mindy Alcutt, enhances hands and feet and adds glam to appendages with nailcare and body-decorating services. Alcutt meticulously grooms nails with a variety of manicures and pedicures and creates longer nails by applying acrylic. She also puts sparkle in lobes with ear-piercing services and adds extra dazzle with body-glitter tattoos of fairies or likenesses of glitter.

Inside My Angel Nails, skilled technicians dote on fingers and toes, shaping and filing nails before removing stray cuticles and applying a coat of color. They also complement traditional mani-pedis with a hand and foot massage, as well as a hot-towel wrap. Deluxe mani-pedis go even further by softening skin with an exfoliating scrub and a dip in warm paraffin wax. The technicians can also dazzle with glitter tips or add length with silk, acrylic, or gel tips. Staffers perform waxing on various areas of the body as well, including the face, bikini line, abdomen, and secret second abdomen.
