You’ve come through the busy holiday season, and winter months are settling in (for a short while -  come on, it’s Alabama!) It’s a perfect time to treat yourself to a reset – a spa day – to kick off 2024!

By Grace Beauty & Wellness is owned by Kayra Everett and Jen Woodard.

“Our business venture started a couple of years ago through joking conversations. We have always been obsessed with anything beauty and aesthetics. We both went through some hard life changes in 2020 and 2021. Jen lost her mom and I lost my dad,” said Everett. “Shortly after that it just seemed like God kept opening doors for us to make this happen. We are so excited to help people build their self-confidence and give them that boost so they can be the best version of themselves. Our mission is to empower our clients to improve their overall health and wellness. We want to help them feel just as beautiful on the outside as God made them on the inside. We want to demonstrate the love of Christ by providing an encouraging, uplifting and compassionate environment where all feel welcome, and blessed when they leave.”

By Grace offers everything from facials, chemical peels, micro-needling, micro-blading, brow laminations, and tints, lash lifts and tints, and a blow dry bar that is just wash, dry and style.

“Our most popular services are our body/facial sculpting treatments and our urinary incontinence treatment,” Everett explained.

“Emsella is the only FDA-approved device for urinary incontinence treatment. It uses electromagnetic impulses to contract the pelvic floor. The contractions are called ‘supramaximal’ because they are not possible to achieve on your own. In under 30 minutes, the pelvic floor is contracted 11,000 times," she said. “The results have already been life-changing for so many since this can be such a debilitating problem. It is approved for men and women."

She continued, “Emsculpt Neo is a body sculpting treatment that is FDA-approved for 10 different parts of the body. It uses two different mechanisms to simultaneously contract muscle tissue for growth and heats fat cells up to cause programmed cell death. With Emsculpt Neo you can lose up to 30% of subcutaneous fat tissue, and it is also the only treatment in the world that also targets visceral fat, which is the dangerous fat around the organs that can cause major health issues. Muscle growth is an average of up to 25%. By the end of one Neo session, the muscle is contracted 20,000 times. For example, if you are treating the abdomen that would be equivalent to 20,000 crunches! This is the treatment used to tackle those stubborn pockets of fat you just can’t get rid of no matter how much weight you lose, or those areas you work out daily and still can’t get that muscle definition you are looking for.”

By Grace’s facial sculpting treatment, Emface, has been branded a “non-surgical facelift,” without the need for needles, surgery or anesthesia.

Said Everett, “This treatment uses the same two mechanisms as Neo except in the face. The connective tissue in the face is connected to the skin unlike any other part of the body. As years go by the connective tissue gets weak and starts to ‘sag’ or ‘droop.’ Emface contracts that tissue 75,000 times in each session. Radiofrequency is a type of heat that is used to stimulate collagen and elastin production which are the two key skin enzymes that make us look youthful. We can’t stop aging, but this treatment reverses the clock! It’s also an amazing preventative skin treatment for the younger population. If you need some lift and volume to fill in fine lines and wrinkles, but want to avoid an invasive procedure, this is for you!”
