This was probably the closest. I agree with Ocell about the "institut" but in this case it was a counter within a dept. store, not a separate establishment. Thanks to all

Explanation:
I guess the term for makeover here refers this. There is another term (much more coloquial or antiquated) emfarafullar-se which has the same meaning in English: retouch.

per a que em maquillèssin


Explanation:
Hola,

Les noies es poden maquillar a les perruqueries o als centres de bellesa o de tractament d'estètica. També hi ha "esteticiennes" (sempre ho he vist en anglès) que fan tractaments de bellesa i poden tamber maquillar.
