Tag: Best of Atlanta 2017
Refresh: Sabot
In its new Powers Ferry Center digs, Sabot is as chic as ever, with established cool-kid lines like Loeffler Randall and Rachel Comey, along with niche lines you can’t find anywhere else in Atlanta.
Toughest new workout: Solidcore
This athletic, full-body workout—which takes place primarily on a souped-up resistance-based machine and taps into slow-twitch muscle fibers—is always challenging, never boring, and wholly unrelenting.
Niche perfumes: Neiman Marcus
Atlanta may not have Le Labo, but Neiman Marcus offers our best selection of niche perfumes.
Rising fashion designer: Abbey Glass
This Atlanta native has been on the rise in recent years, but 2017 marked her first brick-and-mortar retail store.
Foot rub: Yini Massage
This lesser known Buford Highway massage parlor is giving nearby H-Massage a run for its money.
Body treatment: Jeju Sauna
Lots of spas offer services that promise a “new you,” but Jeju’s traditional Korean demadi (or body shampoo) makes good on that.
K Beauty: Tony Moly Cosmetic Store
Korean beauty has officially hit the Western mainstream—and with their wide selection and ultra-helpful staff, Tony Moly’s Johns Creek store is the ideal place to experiment.
Upper-body workout: Pole La Teaz
To give you a sense of just how challenging pole dancing is, consider this: One of the instructors at the Brookhaven location of this two-studio chain quit CrossFit in favor of the workouts here.
Hometown beauty brand: Little Barn Apothecary
With two sleek brick-and-mortar shops and an ever-growing pile of accolades from beauty editors, this small-batch beauty line has blossomed into a brand sold coast to coast.
Antidote to modern stress: Spa at Mandarin Oriental
The new O2 Awakening Facial is a breath of fresh air. Aestheticians use products with concentrated oxygen molecules to decongest and detoxify skin, as well as a pleasantly tingling glycolic acid treatment that exfoliates and evens out skin tone on the face and neckline.
