Massage Therapists! Save Your Hands with Thumbsavers!

Posted on by Tara Esnes

The holidays are almost over and everyone is going to be looking to “De-stress, De-toxify, and Relax.” Myself included! The Holiday Season can be such a wonderful time of year, but can also be very stressful and taxing on our bodies. For this reason, January is an excellent time to run massage specials….invite your clients to help re-cover!

Massage Therapy is a very arduous job, and can be psychically challenging as a full-time profession. A lot of upper body strength is required to do a good job. Day after day of performing massages can lead to arthritis, aching fingers, and wrist pain. To help make your job easier, I learned from a client that swears by, and highly recommends the Thumbsavers!
Thumbsavers can be used a crutch to save your fingers. They can be worn on either hand or both, to provide even pressure to the client while minimizing the effort required by your fingers. They are interchangeable with the thumb, middle finer and index finger for a wide variety of massage applications.
Thumbsavers are available for both men and women. Check them out on Pure Spa Direct, by clicking on the links below, and start saving your fingers right away!
Have you you tried and loved the Thumbsavers before?

Eyebrow Rehab; Huge Profits for Brow Gurus in Spas & Salons

Posted on by Rebeca Cardenas

Recently, my girlfriend circle has been a buzz with, “Please excuse my eyebrows, I’m currently undergoing brow rehab!”. They are apologizing for their crazy, un-plucked, grow-out around their brows as part of their “eyebrow therapy” with a well know brow artist here on Long Island.

High Brow Clients
Will Pay Big Bucks for
Beautiful Brows
The idea is they are being strictly instructed to grow their over plucked brows by conditioning them with Castor Oil and in some cases even growing them with Latisse (though Latisse is for growing lashes, some find it useful for brows too). They are under strict orders not to pluck a single hair while under the “regrowth phase” of their brow rehab. During this time they meet with the brow guru every 4-6 weeks for minor tweaks until desired growth is achieved and then real sculpting can begin. Mind you, each appointment is $90. Yep, NINETY BUCKS! And you will need approximately 3 appointments before you get to sculpting phase. The guru can either teach you to do them yourself, or you can become a “lifer” and just come in ever few weeks for brow maintenance. WOW!
Brow artistry has been a growing trend for sometime, and I never thought my brows were bad – UNTIL I saw one of my good friends that had just completed a six month stint in eyebrow therapy. She looked AMAZING! So amazing, I booked my own $90 appointment, and got schooled on brow rehab. This is how the referral cycle begins… brilliant.
I like this topic because adding a “brow specialist” to your salon or spa a few days a weeks can really draw in clients you never expected. Clients that can afford these specialty service prices are typically “high brow” and may be open to trying other services your business offers. This LI guru is associated with a skin care center that offers facials, lasers, lifts and fillers. The perfect compliments to anyone willing to pay $90 for eyebrow grooming.
Brows are big, literally. Every one I know is trying to escape their over-plucked skinny brows and get a fuller, more youthful look with the perfect arch and symmetry. Looks to me to be a desirable and profitable specialty ideal for aesthetic focused businesses.

Baby Got Class – 5 Stellar Spa and Salon Services for Back to School Season

Posted on by Tara Esnes
As much as I hate to admit it, summer is just about over. School is starting, children everywhere are crying, and parents….well I have a feeling there are some excited parents out there. Personally, I always have mixed feelings about the start of a new school year for my kids. But what does this mean for spas and salons? Parents who have some free time for themselves again! Check out one family’s hilarious response to this time of year below:


On a more serious note, though, spa and salon owners – STOCK UP NOW! For many parents, it has been a long, hard summer….for your business, bank on their desire to take some time for themselves! Whether they take advantage of this new-found “alone time” by getting a massage, a facial, or even a manicure, now is the time to run “School-Day Specials” or “Pampering Packages” and reel those parents in!

Pure Spa Direct is here to help you cater to your clients. Check out our 5 favorite Spa and Salon Services for the Back to School Season:

#1: Turn Back Your Hair
Is your clients’ hair looking bedraggled after months of chlorinated pool water, sand and salt from the beach, and hours upon hours of sunbathing….or chasing the kids through the park? New Fall hair cut and color are definites!

#2: Keep That Summer Glow
Just because summer is over doesn’t mean skin can’t glow! Sunless tanning is perfect for the Back to School crowd who is not quite ready to let go of summer!

#3: Extend The Relaxation a Little More
Add-on a profitable and relaxing face and scalp massage to any body massage purchased. Your clients are probably a bit tense with the prospect of school starting, and nothing feels better than having your scalp massaged!

#4: Cool as a Cucumber Facial
Your clients probably spent too much time in the sun this summer, and now is a great time to calm that skin down! Offering a calming facial featuring June Jacobs Cucumber products is a great back to school special!

#5: Day of Indulgence
Invite your clients to come spend a school day with you, getting pampered of course! You can create packages however you like, but we love ones that start with a facial, followed by some scrubbin’ and lovin’ (body scrub and massage, of course!), and ending with a mani and pedi to make your clients feel extra-special!
