At The Vista, residents enjoy many premier amenities and conveniences, thoughtfully curated to deliver a resort-inspired lifestyle defined by elegance and ease. From state-of-the-art fitness to a stunning performing arts center to elevated on-site dining, everything residents need to live vibrantly every day is just steps from their front door.

The Shine Salon and the Spa at Shine offer residents luxurious beauty and spa services, including hair services, manicures, and massages, without having to ever leave the building.

“The salon may seem like just a nice amenity at first glance, but for many residents, it becomes one of the most appreciated conveniences of community living,” said Teela Ferriola, Resident Services Coordinator at The Vista.

Having a salon and spa located right at home is more than just a convenient perk: regular access to these services boosts confidence, promotes wellness, and provides opportunities for social connection.

Beauty and Wellness Just Steps From Home

The Shine Salon at The Vista is a full-service salon dedicated to providing residents with much-deserved pampering in the familiar comfort of their community. The spacious, luxurious studio features large mirrors, comfortable chairs, and an elegant design, providing a relaxing and upscale space for self-care.

Services include:

• Shampoo, cut, and style
• Updo or flat ironing
• Color services, including highlights and foils
• Beard cut and shaping or mustache trim
• Manicure (Gel or regular)
• Pedicure
• Waxing

“Living at The Vista means everyday conveniences are built into your lifestyle,” said Teela. “Having on-site professional hair and beauty services makes it easy for residents to look good and feel their best. “

Residents simply take the elevator or walk down the hall to get to their appointment: no transportation or worrying about weather required. “They’re able to spend less time running errands and more time enjoying the vibrant community life,” said Teela.

Confidence Begins With Self-Care

Looking your best has a meaningful effect on confidence. Whether it’s a fresh haircut, a new style, or a colorful manicure, taking time for self-care helps our residents feel polished, refreshed, and ready to enjoy each day in the community.

Before an evening concert, happy hour, dinner with friends, or an off-site trip, residents can conveniently freshen up their look and boost their confidence.

“We have a vibrant calendar of events, outings, and dining experiences, so it’s a nice perk of being here at The Vista to have the salon right here at your fingertips,” said Teela. “Our goal is to bring together services that make daily living easier and more enjoyable.”

A visit to the Shine Salon makes it simple for residents to feel their best and most confident as they fully embrace the vibrant social lifestyle that defines The Vista.

Creating Connections Beyond the Chair

At The Vista, friends are around every corner: dining together at the community’s on-site restaurants, relaxing on the patio, playing a spirited card game, exercising at fitness classes, and mingling at various socials, activities, and performances.

The salon also offers great opportunities for social connection, as residents develop meaningful bonds with the salon staff and enjoy chatting and catching up during regular appointments with the hairdresser or nail technician.

“When you find a stylist in your community that you trust, you stick with them,” said Teela. “There’s that social aspect of just connecting with somebody that you see on a regular basis.” The ease of visiting the same salon frequently helps residents develop that connection and loyalty, as familiar faces become friends.

Fran Ferrara, a five-year Vista resident and regular salon customer, values the relationship and trust she has with her Shine stylist, Lisa. “She knows me now, so she knows exactly what I like,” she said. “The atmosphere and people here are great. I love it.”

The Shine Salon’s flexible scheduling is also accommodating to residents, who can either make an appointment on select days or walk in based on availability. Staff members are even willing to extend hours, come in on different days, or stay later to meet resident needs if they are able.

The Spa at Shine: Massage Therapy for Health and Relaxation

Behind the Shine Salon, the Spa at Shine features relaxing massage services one day a week to promote physical and mental wellness. For residents of The Vista, access to on-site massage therapy makes it even easier to incorporate the healing nature of massage into their wellness routine, with a familiar therapist who can tailor treatments to their individual needs and comfort levels.

Massage services offered include:

• Chair massage
• Full-body massage
• 30-, 60-, and 90-minute massages

Joan, the certified massage therapist at the spa, also visits The Vista regularly to teach classes where residents learn self-massage, relaxation, and breathing techniques to improve pain and tension, promote stress relief, and enhance overall well-being.

Whether unwinding with a full-service massage or learning practices to use at home, residents benefit from another feature of The Vista designed to help them invest in their health, wellness, and quality of life.
