>> White (Lotus): If you’d like to celebrate the birth of our country with luxuries our forefathers could only dream of — hair highlights, a bikini wax or a facial — White Lotus Salon and Spa in Gilbert has you covered. Kelli Watson, receptionist at White Lotus, says there aren’t too many places where you can get everything from hair coloring to makeup application to Swedish massage to ear candling. “We do everything here,” says Watson. “You don’t have to drive from place to place, which is nice with gas prices how they are.”
