About

LOOKS opened in 1999, founded by Marilyn Petersen after about twenty years working as a stylist. In 2011 the salon moved into a 10,000 square foot space in Columbia, where it now runs its hair, nail, makeup and facial services under one roof.

The salon's stated aim is a polished but relaxed feel, so that clients leave feeling pampered in an attractive setting. The spa side is set apart from the rest of the floor, with four treatment rooms and a quiet tranquility area for relaxing before or after a service.

Curly hair has its own cut with a personal curl care lesson, and first-time curly clients book by calling the front desk. Bridal and special occasion upstyles are offered, and the salon recommends a trial upstyle before a wedding day.

Facials range from a seasonal option and a 60-minute signature facial to a men's facial, a seaweed-based treatment, a 75-minute hydrolifting repair facial and collagen-focused options. Add-ons such as LED light therapy, microcurrent, a clinical peel and an eye treatment can be combined with a facial.

Other services include waxing and tweezing for face, body and bikini areas, a head spa treatment, massage in Swedish, pregnancy, hot stone and Reiki styles, nail manicures, pedicures, gel and acrylic work, and makeup for events, bridal days and lessons. A monthly Wellness Program lets clients book a 60-minute spa service each month with $10 off each visit.

The salon's stated approach centers on comfort and polish in a pleasant setting, with services meant to leave clients feeling pampered.

A secluded spa area with four treatment rooms and a tranquility space sits within the larger salon.
