Anew You Body Mods has opened at the Salon & Spa Galleria in Arlington, offering specialized body piercing and tattoo services focused on addressing hair loss, scars, and other skin concerns. Owner Cindy McManus, a trained professional in both body piercing and paramedical tattooing, emphasizes services that help clients feel more confident in their appearance.
McManus specializes in scalp micropigmentation (SMP), a non-surgical procedure that creates the illusion of fuller hair for those experiencing balding or thinning. She also provides paramedical tattooing designed to camouflage scars, stretch marks, vitiligo, and other blemishes. "I wanted to provide a service that would help people feel better in their skin and gain confidence," McManus stated, noting that these particular services often make the most significant impact on clients.
The business owner received training at Fort Worth Scalp Micropigmentation and Cover Up by Jenny Academy for SMP and paramedical work, and at The World's Only Tattoo school for body piercing. She describes herself as skilled at making clients feel comfortable and safe, with particular experience working with children from her background as a youth sports coach and educator.
Anew You Body Mods operates from a private suite within the Salon & Spa Galleria at 7807 South Cooper Street, joining other independent beauty and wellness professionals in the facility. The salon is open Tuesday, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday from 12pm to 6pm, with Monday, Wednesday, and Sunday available by appointment. While walk-ins are accepted for piercing and consultations, appointments are preferred to ensure dedicated service.
For the grand opening in January, the salon is offering promotional discounts including $10 off any piercing and $100 off SMP or paramedical tattoo services for clients who mention reading about the business in the press release. Clients can view service examples through the business's social media presence or book appointments directly through the salon's website.
The opening represents a growing trend of specialized aesthetic services addressing specific appearance concerns beyond traditional beauty treatments. By focusing on conditions like hair loss and scarring that can significantly impact self-esteem, Anew You Body Mods taps into a market seeking non-surgical solutions for appearance-related insecurities. The location within a salon suite facility allows for personalized service in a professional environment while maintaining operational independence.
