The next generation salon

Science and technological advancement affect everything. With new ways of doing things, we begin to look at everything around us with a different perspective. One new idea can create a ripple that changes how we do things every day. Style, fashion, beauty and image are all feeling that ripple right now. From computer-inspired pixelated hair color to skin-breaking invasive techniques that augment a person’s features or change their shape entirely and many other varied procedures that fall somewhere in between, medical and spa treatments are reaching a new era of quality and convenience.

A person usually has to drive all over the city just to have a few things done. Hair at one place while getting nails done at another. Maybe a nice massage? Or how about having those teeth whitened? Do you need to have a small brown spot removed? There are so many things to choose from, so many appointments to make and so many different places to visit. Well, not anymore! At least not in Las Vegas anyway.

With so many of today’s cosmetic procedures becoming far less invasive or completely noninvasive, specialized medical facilities aren’t always required. This new perspective has led beauty to move from the head, hands and face to total body immersion. In this era of quick information and instant gratification, the next logical step would be to gather the best professionals and put them in one place. Doesn’t sound possible? Well, that’s exactly what Body Spa did.

To understand the concept, your best bet is to stop by one of the two main salons. The recently opened Henderson location (2490 Paseo Verde) next door to the Green Valley Ranch resort and casino is the first Body Spa salon built entirely to specification. The energy-filled reception area and the expansive salon floor accommodate every type of stylist and work space. Whether you prefer to be on the floor or in a cozy private room, there’s a stylist guaranteed to fit you perfectly. On the other side of the building is a med spa that is second to none with a wide variety of procedures, including new and exciting stem cell treatments.

But if you live in the west valley near Summerlin, you must visit Body Spa West (8751 West Charleston). At more than 40-thousand square feet, it is one of the largest salons and spas you’ll find anywhere on the planet. With more than 200 different professionals from every field in the beauty industry, it’s easy to lose a whole day pampering yourself before a night out on the town. There’s everything from Botox injections to laser skin treatments, and even a tailor on staff! You might also catch a Las Vegas celebrity or two if you show up at the right time.

I’ve been to salons all over the country and many in Europe, but none compare to Body Spa for its variety of treatments and ability to customize services from head to toe. It’s also open 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. You can’t beat that! And since it’s Vegas, don’t forget to ask the concierge about the VIP and limo service packages.
