All Beauty & Personal Care Services

Hair Highlights
Foil highlighting technique lightening selected sections of hair to add dimension and contrast. Partial highlights cover the top and crown while full highlights cover the entire head. Processing time, foil count, and hair length all affect total cost.
beauty-care
Hair Extensions
Addition of natural or synthetic hair to add length, volume, or color without chemical processing. Methods include tape-in, sew-in weave, micro-link, fusion bond, and halo extensions. Maintenance appointments are required every 6 to 10 weeks.
beauty-care
Basic Facial
Classic 60-minute facial including cleansing, steam, exfoliation, extractions, mask, and moisturizer. Addresses basic skin concerns and provides deep cleaning of pores. Estheticians customize the product selection based on skin type. Recommended monthly for best results.
beauty-care
Chemical Peel
Application of a chemical exfoliant (AHA, BHA, TCA, or phenol) to remove damaged outer skin layers and stimulate cellular turnover. Superficial peels have minimal downtime while medium and deep peels require days to weeks of recovery. Treats hyperpigmentation, acne, and fine lines.
beauty-care
Microdermabrasion
Mechanical exfoliation using a diamond-tip wand or fine crystal spray to remove the outermost layer of dead skin cells, improving texture and tone. No downtime. Treats sun damage, mild scarring, and dullness. A series of 6 to 8 treatments is typically recommended.
beauty-care
Full Body Waxing
Removal of hair from the full body including legs, arms, underarms, bikini, back, and chest using hard or soft wax. Multiple body zones priced individually or as a package. Results last 3 to 6 weeks as hair regrows from the root.
beauty-care
Basic Manicure
Traditional nail service including nail shaping, cuticle care, hand massage, and application of regular nail polish with a base coat and top coat. Basic manicures chip within days without a gel or dip powder finish. Price includes tip in many salons.
beauty-care
Basic Pedicure
Foot care service including foot soak, exfoliation, nail trimming and shaping, cuticle care, callus removal, lower leg massage, and polish application. Premium spa pedicures add paraffin wax, extended massage, or specialty masks at higher price points.
beauty-care
Gel Manicure
Manicure using UV or LED-cured gel polish that dries instantly and lasts 2 to 3 weeks without chipping. Removal requires acetone soaking or foil wraps. Frequent gel manicures without proper removal technique can cause nail dehydration and thinning.
beauty-care
Swedish Massage (60 min)
Full-body relaxation massage using long gliding strokes, kneading, and circular motions on the muscles at light to medium pressure. The most widely requested massage style. At spas, price includes use of locker room, shower, and relaxation area.
beauty-care
Deep Tissue Massage
Targeted massage using firm pressure and slow strokes to reach deeper muscle layers and connective tissue. Addresses chronic muscle tension, knots, and post-injury recovery. More therapeutic than Swedish massage with possible 24- to 48-hour soreness afterward.
beauty-care
Laser Hair Removal (per session)
Laser energy targeted at hair follicles to permanently reduce hair growth over a series of sessions. Works best on dark hair with light skin contrast. Typically requires 6 to 8 sessions for 70–90% reduction. Areas treated include legs, underarms, bikini, face, and back.
