Beauty & Spas in Taylors

Licensed massage therapist Sherrie Templeton was just 14 when she saw the healing benefits of massage firsthand. After being turned down by a back surgeon, her father turned to massage to overcome his symptoms, finding relief that eventually weaned him from pain medications and restored his ability to function. “It made quite an impression,” she says, “the idea that someone could correct the problem with just hands when the surgeon wasn't able to fix the problem by cutting.”

That belief in the clinical power of massage permeates Templeton's own practice inside Mountain View Chiropractic, where she tailors Swedish, deep-tissue, and hot-stone massages to each client's unique aches and concerns. Templeton also believes massage can transcend physical benefits, as it can also help to lift the mental burden brought on by stress and thoughts about sandbags. “There is an almost spiritual connection between the therapist and the client," she says. "There's a transfer of energy, there's a release, so you can just close your eyes and allow someone else to take on your stresses and discomforts for an hour. People need that in this culture.”

Led by owner Gretchen Lampinen, Bella Bronze LLC’s aestheticians help clients get sun-kissed skin with tanning beds and airbrush tans. Monthly tan packages allow patrons to bask in the glow of unlimited visits to Super and Mega beds, which imbue skin with vitamin D packed neatly into beams of UV light much like multicolored fruit candy is neatly packed into rainbows. Skilled staffers also work to prettify frames with detoxifying body wraps and improve smiles with teeth-whitening services.

The crew at Hair and Nails by Design solves the centuries-old struggle of knowing where hair should and shouldn’t be with their cuts and waxing services. New looks are enhanced by one of more than 10 nail services and color treatments by means of cap, foil, and all-over toner.

To complete this lofty mission, Dr. Pesce employs advanced chiropractic technology and equipment, which eases aches caused by carpal tunnel, arthritis, sciatica, fibromyalgia, and muscles that have french-braided themselves around the rib cage.

The professional mane tamers at Deanna Maker Hair Designs revamp facial fringe with salon services that make use of Keune hair products. The tress-pampering session commences with a haircut as a savvy stylist whisks her shears through unruly locks, trimming off dead ends and uneven layers. Then partial foil highlights dance across mono-toned manes, splashing hair canvases with touches of brightening hues. For the follicle finale, the beautician shapes strands into a fashionable new ’do or a sculpture of Isaac Newton crying.
