ML40 17-32_Layout 1 9/28/13 6:48 PM Page 32 LIVING Freshen Up for Fall Enter Myra & Company Salon & Day Spa and leave refreshed Words by Marta A Oppenheimer There is a world of magic just around the corner –a place where relaxation, happiness, and bliss are reality and not a figment of the imagination. For a few minutes, hours or an entire day, women become pampered princesses and men are transformed into handsome princes. In this beauty kingdom, there are no oversized mice in red pants, pirate rides or flying carpets, just talented professionals, state-of-the-art equipment and the best and trendiest beauty products. This is Myra & Company Salon & Day Spa. The magic began in 1979 with dedication, talent, hard work, professionalism, wicker furniture, and Myra Porter. Everyone who patronized the salon (left looking and feeling gorgeous) knew it was there to stay. Twenty years later, Myra added daughter Erica to the equation, offered additional spa services, got rid of the That 70s Show furniture, and the South Miami Premier's Day Spa was born. The first Spa in Miami, now boasts salon services, a café, a gift boutique packed with jewelry, fancy flip flops, hair accessories, and clothes, make-up area for lessons, spray tan booth, movement center, and more. Enter beneath a large canopy labeled MYRA, in green, into a world of beauty. Bustling with movement and conversation, manicure and hair stations are alive with happy customers. Oversized chairs with elegant floral patterns, beckon to be settled into, and rows of beauty products adorn multiple shelves. Cross to the other side of the salon, where massage rooms and private manicure pedicure stations await and soothing silence is embraced. I'm here to relax. I want to do it all, can be heard from women wrapped up in plush white robes with delicious Mango Bellinis in hand. Take a deep breath and let out a sigh. It's time to sit back, relax and be pampered. Hungry? Healthy bites are served in their café-- from fresh salads and wraps to frozen fruity frappes. Working nine to five? Store the portfolio 32 MIAMI LIVING in the salon's full locker room and attend early morning Pilates personalized classes, with a maximum of 5 people per class, at the salon's Integrative Connect Movement Studio. Start the workday balanced and energized. How about some Yoga Vibrations? They offer that too. Who says a manly man can't enjoy a buff manicure and pedicure, massage, or a Gentleman's Facial? Metrosexual is in. Not a metrosexual? No problem. After a rosemary oil massage from a licensed therapist and hot packs, grab a beer at the café. Tim Allen would approve. Kim Carnes sang it best, "Her hair is Harlow gold, her lips sweet surprise… She's got Bette Davis eyes…" Makeup lessons are available from Classic, Theme, and yes, Bette Davis eyes. Get eyelash extensions, handcrafted brows, or purchase Myra's Connect Colour cosmetics to get the coveted Bette Davis look at home. Hair color experts, precision cuts, and Myra's own line of conditioning and styling hair products are available. Couples services are offered and make the ideal anniversary gift. Schedule a massage or scrub for two at no extra cost. Teenagers will finally think Mom is cool when she suggests one of their young adult services: Teenage Tension Massages (Hey! High school is hard these days), facial care, Acne Combat Program or Miss Mini Makeover. Myra's is the perfect setting for mother-daughter bonding time. Become part of Myra's family. This mother-daughter team is waiting. Myra & Company Salon & Day Spa offers complimentary parking with valet. "Bringing beauty to South Miami for 30 years." 7313 SW 59th Ct.
