Women think Brazilian wax and then immediately think, “Ouch!” Men think Brazilian waxand think, “Oo-La-La!” We think we’ve bridged that gap between the “ouch” and the “oo-la-la”.
Settle down guys, women don’t go to their waxing appointments for the sole purpose of your happiness! Women who wax say they feel more comfortable and clean. It also beats out the competition for ease and convenience on a daily basis. You’re not left with sandpaper stubble, nicks and cuts, and you don’t need to worry about it EVERY day! Waxing is usually done every 4-6 weeks depending on the rate of an individual’s hair growth. When your re-growth starts to appear, you notice that it’s softer and less noticeable! Regular waxing clients usually see a gradual regression in the amount of hair they have in the area. So if you start waxing now, by next summer, you might just see a little “barely-there” hair!
Ok, so let’s address the “ouch” factor to Brazilian waxing. Your initial wax will be uncomfortable, we can’t lie. Here are some tips that will help with your first visit:
#1 Try to relax. If you are tense the experience will be made even more uncomfortable.

Warm water bubbling around your feet, a sweet aroma in the air, a leather massaging chair gently working out your kinks, soft surround sound music, and an hour to yourself just to relax. This is what women WANT from their pedicure appointment. Unfortunately, we have seen the American pedicure be industrialized down to a quick anything but relaxing half hour that leaves us with painted toes and not much else.
It’s a great thing that foot and nail grooming has become so socially standardized, but it causes concern about how quickly these pedicures take place in other salons and spas. Everyone has heard on the news about nail salons getting sued and shut down over the spread of fungus and disease. Remember Paula Abdul’s fight against California to toughen up the sanitation regulations of these “quickie” nail spas?
As part of Kimberly Spa’s “quality vs. quantity” mission, we are proud to say we created the Spa Pedicure that is quite (more…)

Kimberly has made it her personal mission to deliver quality services at a fair price since the first day she opened the door of her little esthetics studio. Now as a spa, we strive to collectively meet Kimberly’s quality and customer service standards on a daily basis. We are proud to offer the best value in the spa industry in our area!
Some spas have crafty schemes to book ‘em, buff ‘em and boot ‘em. Who wants to be herded in, hardly get a moment to relax and rushed out the door while the next person practically bowls you over on their way in? We know we don’t like to be treated this way, and we NEVER want to see our clients treated this way!
A great example of our “quality vs. quantity” mission starts with a little history about our now famous Stress Relief (more…)

Not a regular spa-goer? Nervous to make your first appointment? Have questions you don’t know how to ask?
We understand the anxiety a person can have before trying out a new spa, or even trying out a spa for the first time. Always keeping our newest clients in mind, we have decided to make it a little easier for you by adding this question and answer forum to our blog. All the questions are typical of a first time client, and are taken directly from our phone calls from people like you.
Q: “Kimberly, what kind of experience would a new client expect from Kimberly Spa?”
A: “They can expect high level customer service, comfort, and knowing that this spa knows what they are doing!”
Q: “What should I do to prepare for my first facial?” (more…)

Ah yes, the glazed look on a man’s face when he stops in to buy a gift certificate is priceless. Some people have just never been to a spa before and don’t quite understand what it is we do and how we do it. We blame this on movies and television that show a group of four girls lined up on massage tables in a wet room with a big bathtub of mud to sit in after. Places like this do exist and yep, they’ll clean out your wallet. These types of spas are relaxing, but they don’t tend to offer lasting results, and you won’t find too many in little ‘ole Nebraska!
