Rye’s mainstay for laser hair removal and facials offers an eponymous private skincare label, and its moisturizer is a must-have. Packed with antioxidants like resveratrol (the antioxidant found in red wine), caffeine, and polyphenol isolates (found in green tea), this tried-and-true powerhouse moisturizer guards against free-radical damage, reduces redness, and improves skin texture and tone.

CBD Beauty Products

Come Back Daily White Plains www.comebackdaily.co

Last year, Steven Phan and Waseem Ghattas opened Westchester’s first location of the New York City-based Come Back Daily to educate and share with the county the benefits of CBD (the non-psychoactive cannabis derivative). The shop provides an upscale educational experience and offers high-quality and luxurious CBD-infused products for the beauty buff, like face masks, balms, and toners.

Innovative Beauty Concept

Hair Saloon

Owner Danielle Settembre’s unique idea for this new Scarsdale spot is to “Come for the haircut; stay for the cocktails.” The location includes a luxe full-service hair salon and spa, and a café that serves craft coffee and bites, so you can relax and enjoy an espresso or martini while having a top-quality stylist tend to your locks. Outdoor saloon services available, weather-permitting.

Glowing skin? I’m in. The quaint Skin & Laser Lounge, which opened right before the pandemic, offers myriad skincare treatments, and its DiamondGlow facial is a standout.

Owner and founder Laura Giardullo knows the business in and out and takes plenty of time to explain all services, to make clients comfortable.
