TIME FOR A DIP! It is about that time of year again, time when
your hands and feet start drying, cracking and aching from the cold
winter weather. Well, we have just the trick for that. During this
special we will be offering a complimentary paraffin treatment
with any manicure or pedicure. Paraffin works to improve the skin’s
appearance and feel, as well as relieve aches, pains and stiffness in the
joints. How does this work? It seals in moisture and forces it back
through the skin’s surface with the oils in the paraffin, while warming
the area and improving circulation (oh, and it smells good too). This
all happens as the paraffin is allowed to cool and harden around the
body area being treated. So no matter if you are coming in for a day
of relaxation or to try to make those stubborn pains in your feet or
hands go away, everyone get this amazing deal and beautiful nails to
boot! Just ask for a “dip” when scheduling your next Akasu manicure
and/or pedicure.
IT DOESN’T HAPPEN UNLESS YOU SCHEDULE IT! Like going
on vacation, fitting in any kind of downtime or self-care doesn’t
happen unless you plan it or make it a routine. Everyone loves
getting a massage whether it is for working out the everyday aches,
injury rehabilitation or relaxation, but getting it on your schedule
and treating yourself right with receiving it regularly can be difficult.
Try not to short-change yourself and your health by planning ahead
and working a little massage into your busy schedule. Some of the
health benefits of massage are: decreased anxiety, increased sleep
quality, alleviated muscle soreness and pain, enhanced immunity,
decreased stress, and more! Research shows that even as little as
10-15 minutes of touch a day can have a positive biological effect on
a person’s health and wellbeing. Treat yourself or someone you know
who could use a little timeout and a wonderful boost to get into good
self-care habits by getting or giving a massage this holiday season. It
won’t happen unless you make it! Remember, we also have a massage
punch card. Purchase 5 and get the 6th at no charge!
SMOOTHOUT PERFECTION In order to get you ready for the rainy
months, we are here to give your hair all of the defense, protection
and shine we can from a Smoothing Treatment. As a sweet little
present to you this holiday season we are offering $50 off this highly
effective and beneficial treatment. It will help to decrease styling time,
dramatically eliminate frizz and leave your hair soft and manageable.
Here is what Pravana says about their product! “Sleek, smooth,
manageable hair is now possible without risk. Achieve perfect hair
effortlessly with the Perfection SmoothOut. This smoothing system
is a new patent-pending innovation that instantly and safely
transforms coarse, frizzy, hair to smooth and superbly shiny with
results lasting 8-12 weeks. Perfection SmoothOut employs a
proprietary nano-amino acid complex that virtually alters the internal
textural memory of the hair fiber to transform it to a smoother,
frizz-free state. Why stop at great, when you can have Perfection?”
Do you have unruly bangs, but love the texture of the rest of you
hair? Have a crazy patch that is difficult to style? No problem,
partial treatments are also available. This process is safe to use on
all hair types including those of you with color and it is also safe for
you and your stylist. Struggle no longer, call Akasu and ask for your
