Reasons to have a manicure.

*One, our hands take a beating. Our fingers grab, grasp, push, poke, prod and tap away on keyboards. Our fingernails are especially vulnerable. They are at risk of breaking, splitting and tearing. When that happens, sharp edges are created that get caught, often painfully, when the live area of the fingernail gets damaged as a result. A manicure will help protect your nails from damage.
**Secondly, people do notice your hands. Well groomed, polished, manicured nails do get seen and are admired. It creates a non verbal statement about you, that you know you have one chance to make a great first impression, and manicured nails will go a long way to help form a great first impression. For the men reading this, that applies to you as well. Women are very impressed with men who have well manicured fingernails. PEDICURES;

Do and Dont's of having a pedicure :

*Shaving is not recommended before a pedicure. If you choose to shave, please shave at least 8 hours prior to your service. An invigorating leg & foot massage is part of the experience in the full pedicures.

**Maybe you enjoy having a pedicure every few weeks and consider it necessary for the good health of your feet. Or maybe you've never had one before and are a little nervous at the idea of letting someone get that close to your feet. Either way, you may have some questions about how the whole process works.

***There are multiple reasons to indulge yourself in a pedicure -- for beauty, for healthy feet, for relaxation, for pampering. Since our feet carry us everywhere, it's especially important to care for them. Regular pedicures are great for the removal of dead skin and calluses. They also help prevent nail diseases and disorders like ingrown toenails and onychorrhexis (longitudinal ridging of the nail). In addition, reflexology, a specific type of foot massage that an increasing number of salons are offering, can be used as a form of pain management.

****All products that are used in our spa are all homemade by one of aestheticians.

DO...

*Take two Advil one 1/2 hour before your appointment. Consult Mother Nature before booking your first waxing appointment. Schedule an initial waxing appointment several days after menstruation, when you are less sensitive to discomfort. Return every three to four weeks and book appointments in advance. Allow 7-10 days of hair growth. If hair is 3/8" to 1/2" long, there is less tweezing and more effective hair removal from the wax. Limit caffeine intake on the day of your waxing service. Caffeine stimulates the nervous system which increases sensitivity. Consider a topical numbing cream 35-45 minutes prior to the service. This can be purchased ahead of time from Shoppers Drug Mart. DONT'S

**NEVER wax a new area for the first time right before a big event. You can't always anticipate your skin's reaction and you wouldn't want to spoil an important day. DON'T shave between waxing appointments. This makes the hair more resistant to future waxings. DON'T touch freshly-waxed skin for 24 hours. Hands carry bacteria which may lead to an infected area. DON'T expose skin to sun or tanning beds for 24 hours. DON'T take a hot bath/shower for the first 24 hours. A shower with cool water is ok. TINTING:

Do and Donts of getting a Facial:

** Do make an appointment at a day spa.
** Don't get your hair done prior to your appointment. Schedule a salon visit after your facial.

** Don't hesitate to notify your therapist if you experience ANY discomfort during your service.
** Do remove all of your jewelry prior to your service, including earrings and nose studs.
**Don't make your bed after your treatment! All linens have to be changed after each client.
