I have been a regular buyer at the same salon for nearly twenty years, and while there’s been a changeover of some of the aestheticians, new services introduced and several price increases, I remain loyal! I keep a sitting appointment every other Sunday and look forward to it! There have been times in my life when I struggled to afford the treatments or find the time for them.
I think that taking good care of myself makes myself and others ecstatic.
Taking a few hours to be selfish, relax and enjoy some pampering puts myself and others in a better state of mind. I occasionally schedule a manicure and pedicure that feels good and is ideal before attending an event, then knowing my nails are neat, tidy, clean and polished gives myself and others a bit of extra confidence, once per week, I schedule a split and color for my hair. The stylish covers the gray in my roots, gets rid of any split ends and applies treatments that improve the shine, strength and silkiness of my hair. I consistently have my eyebrows shaped at the same time. I prefer the sugaring process over waxing and plucking. It’s totally natural, much easier on my skin and less painful, but at least once per week, I sign up for an intensive, hour-long massage session. There are all unusual types of massages available, depending on whether I’m targeting relaxation or particular aches or pains, and every trip to the salon includes a facial. I absolutely love getting a facial. The process opens up my pores, removes toxin, exfoliates and combats blemishes and discoloration, but my skin is softer, brighter, more supple and clear.
