MEMBERS ONLY

HIATUS SPA

H-Circle members get credit for one service a month, ranging from injectables to massages, and a discount on in-shop makeup and wellness products from brands including SkinCeuticals, Dazzle Dry and Aveda. hiatusspa.com

ALL IN ONE

MILK + HONEY

Stroll into this day spa/salon/medspa and float out all abuzz. Few places in Austin can help clients achieve so many head-to-toe self-care goals, all under one roof. milkandhoneyspa.com

COUPLES’ HAVEN

VIVA DAY SPA

Unlike many gender-segregated spas, Viva invites couples to have a shared experience in its Duet Rooms with side-by-side massage tables. Stay for the sauna, scrubs and steam. vivadayspa.com

HOT DEBUT

SPA SWAY IN WESTLAKE

Clients already love Spa Sway’s Domain location, but now they are also checking out the new Westlake spot for an expanded menu of medical-grade services, including laser treatments like broadband light (BBL), Moxi and SkinTyte, plus a variety of injectables. spasway.com

MASSAGE MASTERY

AUSTINDEEP

If a fascia-focused, restorative full body massage sounds appealing, consider making an appointment—pronto. All therapists here are trained with the same method, and many were licensed through the brand’s school, The DEEPACADEMY. austindeep.com

CUTTING CRAFTSMAN

ALLEN RUIZ

Certainly you can trust your tresses to a four-time winner of the North American Hairstyling Awards. Ruiz is also co-owner of Ruiz Salon and global style director for Aveda, FYI. ruizsalon.com

MAJOR BALAYAGE

MELANIE JACOBS

This co-owner of Deep Roots has a celebrity following because she knows how to masterfully “paint” hair so natural roots are blended and highlights are where they are supposed to be. deeprootsatxsalon.com

NAILED IT

NAIL ART HOUSE

While it is true that Russian manicures, with their precise cuticle removal, are not for everyone, no one can argue with the impressive results. (And once-monthly service is a no-brainer.) nailarthouse.salon

MAKEUP GURU

BILLY MERCER

If you think Brené Brown, Sutton Foster, Kate Bolduan, and Jared and Gen Padalecki naturally possess that fresh-faced beauty you crave, it might just be that this pro is behind the glow. billymercer.com

EYEBROW EXCELLENCE

REAGAN HART

There is a reason Hart’s nickname is The Rhinestone Brow Girl: This licensed medical esthetician and brow artist has tweezed and trimmed many of Austin’s A-listers. therhinestonebrowgirl.com

FAB FLUTTER

PRETTY NICE CO.

Whether clients want a lift and tint for a soft, natural look, or fills and extensions for va-vavoom appeal, this fantastic small business does it all in the blink of an eye. prettyniceco.com

CHEEKY TECHNIQUE

BUCCAL FACIAL

While it might seem strange to have an esthetician’s gloved hand inside your mouth, Belver Studio says that is the best way to access and manipulate deep facial muscles. The reward for opening wide is a list of benefits that result in a more lifted, contoured and radiant appearance. belverstudio.com

BEST QUICK FIXES

FACE FOUNDRIÉ

Even workaholics have no excuse here. This fabulous spa has 20-minute facial treatments designed to be accomplished over a lunch break, like dermaplaning and reparative masks. facefoundrie.com

BIOTECH WONDER

GENESIS ßSTEM6 MOLECULAR SERUM

A quarter century of stem cell research went into Michal Morrison’s serum, designed to repair and renew skin to look healthier, firmer and clearer. michalmorrison.com

DELUXE DERMS

WESTLAKE DERMATOLOGY

Besides the fact that this group has more than a dozen locations citywide, making it easy to stop in for everything from a quick shot to full-on plastic surgery, the talented team of doctors and chic environs make each visit worthwhile. westlakedermatology.com

SUNKISSED CHIC

ORGANIC BRONZE

When there is no time to bask by the pool, head to The Domain for vegan-friendly, gluten-free, naturally derived and paraben-free airbrush tanning. Mobile tanning services are also available if you really can not escape the house. organicbronzetanning.com

BEARDED BOSS

BEARDBRAND

When whiskered gents need to keep their faces looking fresh, they look to this local brand for grooming kits, styling pastes for mustaches, and beard washes, softeners and oils. beardbrand.com

GROWTH OPPORTUNITY

REFINE AESTHETICS

Clinical studies show that exosomes derived from stem cells may fuel hair growth, and clients of this new injectable treatment are seeing results here. refineaesthetics.com

BOTTLED BLESSING

BODY TONIC RX

Forget the scalpel—Body Tonic RX has a nonsurgical Light Eyes treatment nicknamed “bleph in a bottle.” Bye-bye dark circles, expression lines and tired-looking eyes. mybodytonic.com

MALE TUNE-UP

DAVID DELLINGER, DO, FACOS

Sure Dr. Dellinger has plenty of female patients, but the guys also trust him for procedures like hair transplants and rhinoplasties. He also is skilled with “down there” enhancements and FUPA (fatty upper pubic area) reductions. elysianplasticsurgery.com

SAVING FACE

BUCKINGHAM CENTER FOR FACIAL PLASTIC SURGERY

It is not easy for the masses to tell when someone had a facial aesthetic procedure done here—which is exactly is the point of it. buckinghamfacialplastics.com
