Essential Oil Essentials...

It's a medically proven fact that essential aromatic oils benefit mental awareness, vision, memory, and even other people's perceptions of you (so if you want to make a better impression...listen up)!;)   Here's a run down of some popular essential oils and their benefits.

Lavender has been proven to slow down brain waves and promote relaxation, can also help soothe sunburned or irritated skin, minor scalds, and even insect bites.  Light a lavender spa candle and place it on top of your desk and sniff your way to stress management; apply lavender to your temples before you go to bed; or spray it in your house.  Recommended products:  Scandle's Calming or Tranquility Blend Massage Lotion Candles (infused with lavender essential oils).

Citrus oils such as neroli, lime, and grapefruit help clarify, uplift, and are excellent alternatives to caffeine.  Use these essential oils to energize your mind and body before driving, working out, or going online.  Recommended products:  Scandle's Uplifting, Rejuvinate, or Fresh Blend Body Oil Candles (infused with citrus aromatherapy oils).

Rosewood is a balancing, soothing scent that promotes inner peace, focus, and attention.  Sprinkle two or three drops in your bath or use as part of an at-home relaxation or meditation ritual.  Recommended Products:  Scandle Relaxation Blend Aromatherapy Spa Candle (infused with rosewood essential oils).

Other recommended uses for aromatherapy essential oils are sprinkling a few drops of your favorite oil on your dryer's lint screen to scent your sheets, towels, and clothing. Or dab a few drops on a tissue and pack it in your purse, computer bag, or luggage.

Couples Massage for Valentine's Day and Beyond

Couples Massage for Valentine's Day could mean more future bookings! Couples massage is a great way to introduce a partner who has never gotten a massage before in a way that makes them feel more comfortable the first time. Some men are apprehensive about getting a massage and sometimes it makes it more comfortable to have their wife or girlfriend there. Men usually discover that therapeutic touch is very relaxing and restorative. Once they experience a couples massage, they are more willing to book a massage on their own.

Some of our therapists offer a Couples Body Candle Massage which incorporates The Scandle Massage Candle .  The Scandle combines the ambiance of a aromatherapy candle and soothing warm massage oil in 1 unique spa massage treatment!

What other promos have you used to entice couples to book Couple Massages for Valentine's Day and beyond?

Enhance Nail Profits with Add-ons

With the changing of the seasons...dry hands, brittle nails, and hang-nails can be a real problem for your clients.  If you're looking for a way to lend a helping hand to your spa profits, try adding these top manicure services to your lineup!

 

 

1) Massage by the Minute:  Offer a relaxing massage for the arms and hands.  Check out our blog post on "Helping Hands for Manicure Profits" for ways to incorporate a warm, soothing Scandle Lotion Candle massage to your nail services along with hand massage techniques!

2) Nail Design/Bling Fingers: Add to either a specific finger or to every nail. Charge either per nail or $1.00 per minute for more time consuming art.

3) Hand Facial: The face isn’t the only skin that should get a facial, enhance any service with a hydrating or anti-aging mask for extremely dry hands.

4) Anti-Aging Hand Treatments: Invest in a serum to fight brown spots, wrinkles, or even a vitamin C bleaching serum—the hands on a woman show their age more.

5)  Paraffin Dip

6) Nail Whitening Treatments: Offer a nail soak in whitening solutions to get rid of yellow nails such as polident, or water mixed with baking soda and scrub with a nail brush.

7) French Manicures: Offer this manicure in a different way by reversing the smile line and creating a white moon at the cuticle area.

8) Waxing: Offer to remove extra hair on your client’s hands and/or knuckles.

9) Custom Blend a Nail Polish Color: Invest in empty polish bottles and blend a couple colors to warm or cool a polish to match their skin tone. Just by adding a drop of blue will cool or yellow will warm.

10) Mini Spa Treatment Service for the Client On-The-Go: Massage in an intense moisturizer treatment and place the hands in heated mits. Massage the clients’ shoulders while their hands are being treated.  Many of our spas use our Scandle Massage Lotion Candle in Warm Vanilla Sugar to create a fall themed spa mani/pedi treatment with other complimentary products like our Scandle Dead Sea Salt Soak and Scrub or Scandle Turbinato Sugar Scrub.
