My Plastic Surgeon’s Advice…

Wednesday, June 23rd, 2010

Kimberly Owner/Esthetician, Kimberly SpaMy Plastic Surgeon’s Advice… was for me to get a total and complete blethroplasty!  What?!  Come on, really?!  Okay, let me start from the beginning because I have so many of my loyal clients asking my advice on Facial Plastic Surgery.

I had noticed a small brown spot on my right shin that through up a red flag.  Just to get it checked out, I scheduled an appointment with a plastic surgeon that did a scar revision on my arm a few years ago, and I thought he did a great job.  The doctor was flanked by a pretty young lady standing beside him taking notes.  He sat down in front of me and took a brief look at my suspicious spot and said, “This is nothing, is there anything else I can do for you?”  Immediately my over-active (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.

Quality VS Quantity Vol. 2: The Kimberly Spa Pedicure

Friday, May 14th, 2010

Kimberly Spa PedicureWarm 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…)

Quality VS Quantity Vol 1: The Stress Relief Facial

Thursday, May 6th, 2010

Stress Relief FacialKimberly 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…)

It’s Pedicure Season!

Tuesday, April 27th, 2010

Kimberly Spa PedicureSummer is almost here and it’s time for those cute peep-toe shoes, sexy strappy sandals and heel baring mules! But take a good look at your feet and ask yourself if the skin of your precious feet really look as good as they can? 

Do your feet look old?  Do you notice dry flaky skin? Cracked callus heels and ugly cuticles? Are you STILL going to those “nail factories”?
 
First of all, it’s important to know that the nail is made of a hard protein called keratin. Because of that, the nail is able to protect the ends of the fingers and toes from trauma. That’s extremely important to keep in mind. It’s best to have your nails groomed professionally every 4 to 6 weeks.

Acne… Ugh!

Thursday, April 22nd, 2010

Acne is genetic. Thus when both parents suffer from acne, three out of four of their children are likely to share the same problem… Because acne is a dominant gene. Virtually 100% of boys and 90% of girls suffer from acne, at least occasionally. But men and women of all ages can be affected so that, even if you were among the lucky few who missed the curse of acne as teenagers, you may still run into trouble later on. More than 50% of people over 25 experience acne break-outs well into their 40’s and beyond.

acne facial treatment

There are several different types of acne. 95% of all acneis called Acne Vulgaris. This occurs when a channel from which a hair follicle has emerged, or is about to emerge, becomes blocked. The sebaceous gland attached to the lower part of that follicle continues to produce its oily sebum. But since the clog stops the sebum from emerging, it stays inside the channel and expands into a balloon full of the stuff! Before long, the sebum (warm, oily and nutritious) attracts bacteria and starts to putrefy. The result is a nasty pimple!

Ultrasound may sound familiar to just about everyone, but you’ve probably never heard about the benefits it can give your skin!  Ultrasonic Skin Therapy sends ultrasonic vibrations deep (deeper than any other treatment!) into the skin, breaking up dead cells and oil blockages. The skin can then absorb topical treatment products better, thus increasing (more…)
