Alpine Aesthetic: Spring pampering in private

Five mobile self-care services to try at home

While Aspenites still don’t have access to app- friendly lives like in Los Angeles, Miami or New York City — where glam squads are as easy to schedule as tapping your iPhone screen — the pandemic brought the popularity of mobile appointments to an all-time high. But Aspen has long been ahead of this trend with the beauty and wellness set catering to clients at home (or in-room). Whether you’re looking for an offseason staycation treat or planning ahead for the summer soirée schedule, here are the best local options for pampering in private.

HAIR

Beyond its longstanding, full-service salon (now located on Spring Street), Full Circle also specializes in extensive in-home options of not only hair care from its roster of stylists on-call but also can coordinate massage and skincare treatments along with fitness instruction. To complete your experience, the team also presents a “Beauty Bar” menu of beer, wine, champagne and cocktails, plus healthy treats and beverages from JÜS.

NAILS

Longtime local Mara Murphy is the one-woman-show behind Manicures By Mara, an at-home- only nail service that offers manicures and pedicures with curated collections of traditional and gel polish. The freelance nail artist first got her start in Chicago in 1987, and for the past two decades has painted countless one-of-a-kind creations for a loyal list of local clients.

When not providing her expertise on the floor of the beloved beauty emporium Cos Bar, makeup artist Paris Seekatz-Hayner also does house calls. Her personal cosmetic case is stocked with the store’s premium brands and pro-tools; she recently added Reiki to her repertoire and also does lash lifts and longer-lasting extensions in the comfort of your own home.
