Since being founded in Dallas in 1963, Mary Kay has become a multi-billion dollar company and continues to play a profound role in the beauty industry. Others, like Renee Rouleau Skin Care, have followed suit, leading Dallas into a thriving era of beauty and business, whether it be on large-scale levels like beauty brands with a multinational reach, or strictly local businesses offering beauty services like spas, hair salons, and nail studios.

Homebuyers interested in living in areas where a manicure or a quick massage is only a few minutes away may want to consider one of these six Dallas neighborhoods.

Downtown Dallas

Downtown Dallas

There’s a lot of fun and culture on offer in Downtown Dallas, making it easy to understand why million-dollar deals happen frequently in this central neighborhood. So it should come as no surprise that there are plenty of beauty care options for residents and visitors. The Adolphus, The Joule, and the Omni Dallas Hotel provide guests and locals with beauty care needs from salons to spas. Salons in this area include Studio 1514. Housed in some of the grandest high-rise buildings the city has to offer, the beauty businesses in Downtown Dallas are usually posh and upscale.

Northwest Dallas

Whereas Uptown and Downtown Dallas cater to upscale clients in need of beauty care, Northwest Dallas is far more affordable and offers a wide range of multicultural beauty care providers. The area directly above Bachman Lake is especially teeming with hair salons. Also, the famous King Spa and Sauna offers body scrubs, facials, and massages, plus a wide array of saunas and pools.

Uptown

Uptown neighborhood of Dallas

Full of condos and historic homes, Uptown provides plenty of beauty care, much like Downtown Dallas. You could potentially walk to a hair salon on McKinney Avenue, across the street to get your lashes or eyebrows done, and then down the street to get a manicure. But Uptown’s not limited to just hair salons, nail studios, or spas; Uptown has high-end beauty care places that perform plastic surgery or take care of skin problems with professional medical procedures.

Preston Hollow

Directly in the center of the Dallas corridor sits Preston Hollow, a lovely residential neighborhood that’s known for its elegant, historic homes. West Northwest Highway is home to quite a few beauty spots that range from spas like Alivio Spa to medical beauty services like Bella MD Laser Vein & Aesthetic Center. Royal Lane and Preston Road also have a large selection of beauty services including waxing centers, massage studios, and the Anti-Aging Center of Dallas.

Oak Lawn

Oak Lawn neighborhood of Dallas

Oak Lawn is a charming residential neighborhood with condos and historic homes. It’s also the place to enjoy the city’s bustling nightlife and shopping scene. Nail and hair salons reign in Oak Lawn, though you can definitely find plenty of spas too. There are multiple shopping centers on Oak Lawn Avenue that house a variety of beauty care places. Lemmon Avenue and Cedar Springs are similarly overrun with beauty care providers. With Turtle Creek Park located between Uptown and Oak Lawn, you’ll most likely find some of its residents taking advantage of the Oak Lawn beauty scene.

Highland Park

Next to Southern Methodist University, Highland Park is characterized by wide streets, grand historic homes, and a relaxed yet refined atmosphere. It’s one of Dallas’ most sought-after neighborhoods, and one of its thriving business sectors is the beauty industry. Riviera Spa and Green Lotus Spa are some of the most popular spas. MiniLuxe Highland Park takes care of nail needs, while Drybar Dallas Highland Park is a good option for salon services. Also, Kiehl’s has a store location in Highland Park.
