Staying Warm = Staying Healthy

Thursday, December 1st, 2011

As adults we take great care in keeping children safe from harsh winter elements.  Do we take the same care for ourselves?  For most of us…probably not.  We have many people that depend on us to be fully functioning, especially during cold and flu season.  Most of us “know” how to bundle up, but here are a few suggestions that may make bundling up almost enjoyable!

One important choice in gearing up for winter is snow boots.  I know, I know…they are cumbersome and messy, but necessary.  Once trick I have learned over the years is to keep a pair of neutral colored shoes at work…that way I can head out the door in my boots and not worry about grabbing another pair of shoes to change in to.  Hats and gloves are also important when gearing up for winter.  90% of our body heat escapes through our head and extremities.  Keeping our head, feet, and hands covered is crucial.  These items will allow your body to retain that ‘lost’ heat.  Your body won’t have to work as hard to keep you warm.  I have also found that in harsh weather, messy hair is acceptable…so long as it is due to “hat head”.

My favorite winter accessory… (more…)

Save A ‘Grinch’!

Saturday, November 12th, 2011

Holidays are so much fun for me!  But not everyone feels the same way I do…imagine that!  Sometimes the comments from those who feel “Bah-Humbug” around the Holidays can really take the fire out of you when you’re feeling so jolly and happy.  Maybe it’s the impending weather, the lack of time and money for gift shopping, or the fact that they’ve been invited to be with family that doesn’t always get along when they’re together.  Whatever the reason, most of us have run across a ‘Grinch’ or two during the Holiday season.

I find myself trying to do that little something extra for people, especially around the Holidays.  Those I know, some I don’t…even a Grinch!  Random acts of kindness can really go far.  You may not get to see the result of those acts the moment at the time, but they do make a difference!  (more…)

Flexibility!

Saturday, October 29th, 2011

Flexibility… a lot of life’s schedule just doesn’t afford us such a comfort.  We all, at some point, have wished that things in life could be more flexible.

I get it!  I make it a priority to understand the value of flexibility when it comes to our clients.

I’ve thought long and hard about what clients have told me they want in their skincare and massage services! I’ve taken it to heart…and here are just a few of the flexible options that we offer:

- the flexibility of the services we offer! We are able to accommodate a multitude of skin issues, budgets and lifestyles!

-on-line booking… gives you a chance to book at your convenience!

-reminder calls the day before appointments…allows you to reschedule your appointment if “life” has gotten in the way again, and you are unable to make it. (more…)

Guys, You Have Never Been To A Spa?

Tuesday, October 11th, 2011

Maybe you should try it!   Whether you are looking for hair removal, acne treatments, rejuvenation, anti-aging or just plain old stress reduction, at Kimberly Spa we take pride in addressing your individual concerns.

My own father was very reluctant to get spa treatments when I became an esthetician 15 years ago.   He is an “old-school” kind of guy…raised in an era when men never got these types of treatments.   At first, I had to talk him in to it…but now he is not only comfortable getting treatments, he actually looks forward to them!   He leaves feeling refreshed, with unclogged pores and with  younger, healthier looking skin.

A first-time male client (age 50+) who had never been into a spa before describes his experience…”I had a good feeling as soon as I walked in to Kimberly Spa.   It was luxurious, and comfortable…while still being clinically professional.   They earned my trust.”

Ladies, if you have a boyfriend, brother, father, spouse or just a good male friend who is curious about what a “spa experience” is all about…share our “Look Good~Feel Good” secret and send them to Kimberly Spa!   They will love it just as much as you do, and it will be an experience they’ll never forget!

Massages: How Long Is Long Enough?

Monday, August 15th, 2011

Sometimes just looking at a spa menu can cause stress and since that defeats the purpose of ‘treating’ yourself, I would like to help make your massage decision stress free!  

So…How long of a massage should you get?  As a massage fanatic myself, I can honestly say that a half hour has never been long enough.  However, a half hour massage, if you are in a serious time crunch, have a specific issue, or scheduled at the end of a long day…may be just right for you.  The one hour massage is about right for relieving the “everyday” stresses.  In that time frame, your therapist should be able to get your whole body relaxed.  A ninety minute treatment is great for relieving those everyday stresses plus allowing a little more time for work on one or more specific areas.  Clients that have increased or intensified work out schedules are great candidates for the ninety minute Therapeutic Sports Massage.   Your therapist can also adjust the intensity of your massage based on your bodies response to the treatment, so make sure to let them know.

Want to add a little ‘boost’ to your massage? Make it an Aromatherapy Massage and choose from the Aroma ‘Mood’ that suits you best…Stress Relief (for relaxation and balance), Enlightening (for meditation and clarity), Energizing (for cleansing and uplifting) or Clearing (for respiratory and muscle relief).

Once you have committed to spending the time with us, help us to help you receive your best massage ever!!

Treat Summer Skin with a Pevonia RS2 Facial

Thursday, August 12th, 2010

“Summer really jacks with my skin! I stay out of the sun as much as possible…wear a hat… use a high SPF Sunscreen… I’m always searching for shade! My skin feels really rough and dry… I mean really sandpaper-like. And I always feel like my nose is so red and is ready to explode off my face! I’ve tried to cover it with make-up but it just isn’t working. I need help!”

Pevonia RS2 LineThis is a scenario I put together from the many different clients that have come to me with this typical summer skin problem. The answer is skin treatments and nutrition. I’ve done a lot of research pertaining to irritated skin and I can tell you with great certainty that the Pevonia RS2 Facial Treatment will calm down, sooth and cool off your hot, swollen, aching, acne skin.

Finding the Perfect Spa Package

Thursday, May 27th, 2010

Kimberly Spa Packages and Gift CertificatesAh 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!

If you’d like to book a “spa day,” here are some great things to consider:

1. What is your budget? We offer a number of packages that range from about $70 for a Foot Detox Package, all the (more…)

Quality VS Quantity Vol. 3: The Brazilian Wax

Friday, May 21st, 2010

Kimberly Spa Brazilian WaxWomen 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.
