There will be some changes to my treatment menu and a price increase to facials, nails and some waxing treatments. I will also NO longer be offering Full body massages or Reflexology from November 2012.

From January 2013 im going to be cutting down my hours, as im just not getting time to do the personal activities I love, and my poor thumbs have been taking a lot of strain resently and I need to give them a break every so often too.

Skincare Routine for Winter

Skincare Routine for Winter

Winter is definitely more harsh and drying on the skin and even with an oily/combination skin type one should and needs to still increase the moisture levels in the skin Feeding the skin with moisturizers should be seen in just the same way we feed our bodies.

Ask yourself this:
How often do I drink water and feed my body with nutrients in a day? Generally we drink up to 8 glasses of water a day, yes in winter we do tend to drink less as we think we don’t need it.

Now ask yourself:
Does my body hold more toxins and skin feel drier in winter? If you answered yes, do you think it has something to do with the amount of water we DON’T take in in winter? You should still try and keep up the water intake in winter, maybe in another form – Tea, Soup or warm water even DE-caf coffee!

With that said our skins also need to be fed and nourished just like our bodies, it is our biggest organ and does the most protecting.

During winter we need to give our skins more moisture and nourishment and most skincare products if best suited for your skins will absorb quickly and effortlessly no matter what time of the day we apply. Foundation should also allow transparency with regards to moisturizers and nourishment.

Annique Products that will help keep moisture levels up:

1. Revitalising Cream twice a day

2. Day cream(depending on your skin type)- up to 8 times a day

3. Skin detox twice a day

4. Miracle tissue oil twice a day

5. NEW moisture Serum twice a day

6. Lifting neck and bust cream- up to 4 times a day

7. pH Freshener or Liquid Skin Nutrition- up to 8 times a day

Exfoliation should be done every 4-5 days to help remove dead skin cells and improve blood circulation.

Beauty Spot Newsletter June 2012

Dear Ro’s Beauty Spot Customer

Hope you are doing well? Can you believe we are in June already, soon the longest night will be upon us and then we can look forward to longer days, and hopefully the feeling of a little more time to get things done!

Thank you so much for taking the time to fill in my customer service feedback form, I really do want to hear from you and how you feel about coming to my salon, where I can improve my service and if I can give you a better, more personal experience and more helpful advice.

If you are a regular customer to the salon you will know that I sell Annique too and I’m always try to talk about the new products being launched and focus on some old favourites too. Today I would like to talk about the new Crème de Nuit(night cream for mature, dry skin types) and the Moisture Serum(for anyone), just recently launched in the Annique product list.

The New and improved Crème De Nuit is now a member of the Forver Young group of the Annique Products. It now contains a superior vegetal serum that helps nourish and repair aged and dehydrated skins. This means it helps feeds the skin and keeps it’s hydrated for longer during the day but at the same time fights the signs of aging. It comes in a new packaging and is still going to be one of Annique’s top 15 sellers.

Then launched this month is the new Moisture Serum. It helps boosts hydration in the skin, restoring the skins protection levels against sensitivity, dryness and dehydration. It also contains Rooibos oil and Vitamin E(like Anniques Miracle Tissue Oil) so it locks in moisture, helps repair damaged, uneven skin tones and leaves the skin soft and smooth. This product is part of the Essence Range which means it’s a treatment product, and should be used in conjunction with your day and/or night cream. Please note this is different to the Skin Detox, which helps improve the skins appearance but preventing blocked pores, improving the protection against free radicals.

The Annique Happy Tea is back by popular Demand, but more then likely for a promotional time, so don’t forget to stock up on that either. R39 a box.

Then the Miracle Tissue Oil Lip Therapy has now finished its promotional life but maybe I can get one or two, so if you would like to keep one for future use then let me know.

Last but not least I have made up a really nice Gift Set for someone special, with a Miracle Tissue Lip Therapy, Body Butter, Hand Lotion, Travel Soap and Body Wonder Sponge. I have it on Special For R170, valued at R220.

Treatment Specials

  • Rose Facial with Mini Manicure R200
  • Hand Exfoliation and Paraffin wax dip (add on to ANY treatment) R30
  • Receive 2 Loyalty circles with any treatment of R250 or more

Valid 13 June – 13 July 2012

Days OFF until End July

  • Friday 29 June I am closing at 14h30
  • Saturday 30 June 2012
  • Monday 2 July 2012
  • Saturday 21 July 2012

Just to remind everyone that I do work on a Cash or EFT basis, if you need my banking details please just let me know. Also Saturday appointments are very limited and I’m often booked 1-2 weeks in advance, please be aware of this as I would like help someone else if you do not wish to come or have something on but please try cancel 24 or more in advance so I can let my cancellation list know. I totally understand life does happen and there are some things we cannot change but it works both ways and I wish to help all my clients as soon as I can.

Keep warm and I’m looking forward to seeing you this month.
Love lots Rowena

Beauty Spot Newsletter May 2012

Hey everyone

I’m so sorry that I haven’t sent out a decent news letter in a while but I hope this one makes up for it.

I can’t believe what beautiful weather we’ve been having and that it’s still so beautiful outside. Let’s hope we can have a few more days of it before the cold sets in!

So its mothers month and wow have there been a few new moms in my salon. Definitely was something in the spring winds last year 🙂

For those of you who have met my mom, she often helps with product delivery, entertaining clients while i’m still busy and helping in the background. Her name is Denise and I’m so very grateful to have her. Thank you for being easy on her, patient and helpful especially when booking treatments is involved. She often just takes the initiative and is not always 100% sure but she does a great job.

I think 2012 is definitely a Moms year and so I wish all my moms a Happy Mothers Day and Month, may you be spoilt and appreciated more than normal.

So not much news in the Salon, I have a few Annique Products that are still on Special, so don’t forget to have a look next time you in the salon.

Bio Sculpture Colours are now R40 so don’t miss out on buying some fabulous colours for winter, I have a catalogue and that you can order from, they have over 150 colours and I cannot keep all of them in stock but I can order.
Top coats are also R40 for the Month of May, normal Price R50

I am also continuing to grow my Gel colour stock so if you wish to have gel colour overlay R140 then please don’t be shy to ask what colours I have or if you keen on a specific colour then I can get for you.

GREAT WINTER ADD ON TREATMENTS

I know winter is a time that we wish to keep as much of us covered as possible but don’t forget that we shouldn’t neglect out toes, feet and hands either.

Mini Pedicure and mini Manicure are a great way to keep them soft and still looking good, and at R50 each they can be added to any treatment or done on there own.

Paraffin dip can also be added to any treatment for R40, and includes a scrub, rich cream application and the dip.

PLEASE NOTE:

I have limited space on a Saturday, as i’m not open every Saturday, and if by any chance you do need to cancel your appointment, I may not be able to help you the following Saturday, which means you may need to wait a few weeks in order to get another Saturday appointment!

Also this means that you need to book well in advance for a Saturday.

Voucher redemptions will no longer be accepted on a Saturday either.

Days that the Salon is closed:
Saturday 12 May
Sat 2 June
Tuesday 12 June
Friday 29 June
Sat 30 June
Monday 2 July

I use the Depiléve Wax system for legs and arm waxing and have also started selling their Intimate Folisan – a roll on gel that works wonders with ingrown hairs in the bikini and under arm area.

I have received great comments and happy results.

The 10ml roll-on gel is ON SPECIAL FOR R40 and needs only to be used until the hairs have started to push through the skin (roughly 10 days). As soon as the hair has appeared through the skin, stop usage until after your next wax.

Please enquire about the product when you visit.

For those extra dry and neglected skins, the ANNIQUE Miracle Tissue Oil is a great add on product for winter and any time. It’s a light oil so absorbed so quickly into the skin, leaving it feeling nourished, soft and hydrated. It’s great for uneven skin tone, stretch marks, and scars. It’s an excellent hydration product adding extra nourishment and moisture to the skin.

ON SPECIAL THIS MAY FOR R219 with a FREE 10ml Roll On

So have a super Month of May, I hope you are blessed and kept safe.
Look forward to seeing you and sharing some good laughs.
Thanks for all the support.

Love
Rowena

Beauty Spot Newsletter March 2012

And so Autumn is officially here! I hope that you are making the most the beautiful evenings and gorgeous mornings that we’ve been having as soon the icy blue skies will be here.

Now is a time to start increasing that vitamin C and anti-oxidant intake to keep the bugs away. Remember green tea is one of the highest natural sources for anti-oxidants. Guavas, sweet red peppers and kiwis are high in Vitamin C.

Thank you for all who have been accommodating with my hours that have changed. It seems to be filling up the Saturdays I am open and the evenings too. Please just remember that Saturdays are now becoming fuller a lot sooner, so if you do need a Saturday appointment book way in advance.

I do only offer Bio-Sculpture gel as an artificial nail enhancement system. I do not unfortunately do acrylic or silk. Bio-Sculpture offer a whole lot of other products besides gel so it’s more versatile for me.

They do nail varnishes, base coats, top coats, files, toe separators and much more. If you wish to see there full catalogue just ask when you next visit, as they have great gifting ideas too.

I will soon be putting up a notice board in the salon, with current in-salon specials, advertising for those who run business or would like extra exposure and some news, so please take a look next time you visit and let me know what you think.

For those that have been for a facial with me, you know I use a machine called high frequency during the treatment. I just wish to talk a little bit more about it, so that you can be more aware of the effects, and reasons I use it.

High frequency has been around in the health industry for over 30 years, and was first used in the hair dressing field to treat scalp disorders.

The current of the high frequency machine moves a rate of 100,000 and 250,000 vibrations per second over the surface of the skin, thus the tingling sensation that is sometimes experienced during the treatment.

The Effects of High Frequency:

  • Warms and relaxes facial tissue
  • Improves skin texture and moisture balance
  • Calms sensory nerves
  • Produces ozone: anti-bacterial and germicidal removing the impurities on the skin
  • Due to the stimulation of the fine nerve endings, an astringent effect occurs, reduces pore size and the appearance of fine lines.
  • Improvement of circulation and thus the lymphatic system, reducing toxin and waste accumulation which in turn can reduce puffy, sluggish areas of the skin
  • Due to increase of circulation product absorption is increased.

Reasons for High Frequency:

  • Reduces oil and congestion on/in the skin
  • Aids healing of the skin
  • Destroys bacteria
  • Stimulates rebalancing of the moisture levels
  • Reduces inflammation and sluggish looking skin
  • Gives the skin a radiant, clear and toned appearance

I also use the machine as it’s safe and effective with the Annique Products

I use the machine in all of my facials, except the Pressed Rose Facial in which I use my DermaLift machine, so if you haven’t already experienced it, Come give a try.

Please don’t forget to bring your loyalty cards to your treatments and if I haven’t seen you in Jan/Feb and you are a regular customer, don’t forget to get yours.

I will be closed on Wed 21 March (Human rights Day) as well as the following Saturdays so please take note and book ahead.

  • Saturday 10 March and 24 March
  • Friday 6 April, Saturday 7 April and Monday 9 April

Then also PLEASE PLEASE NOTE:
I did make a mistake with Sat 28 April (apologies), I will be closed but I will be open Friday 27 April (Freedom Day) from 08h00-14h00

But I look forward to seeing you this next month and please if you have any comments direct them to info@beautyspotsalon.co.za

Thanks
Keep smiling
Ro
