Diversify Your Menu Of Services

Posted on by

SPA_IMG_1694-1872

It has been said that “People who do more spa services tend to spend more money. They will buy the better tanning packages and lotions. They are looking for a high caliber experience.” Incorporating spa treatments into your menu will help strengthen your bottom line by encouraging your customers to visit your salon year-round for a unique experience and selection of products.

When salon owners think of spa treatments, they most likely envision an army of employees that will need to come on board – as well as additional inventory that would need to be stocked. The truth is there are many self-service machines that fit well into the limited staffing that a tanning salon traditionally follows. Many of the after-care products also fall in line with the tanning brands available today. Yes, you might want to offer additional selections to your product shelves but there is no need to go crazy.

One thing to keep in mind, high traffic tanning days would not be the ideal situation for calming spa services, try to keep a rotating schedule so that the noise and aromas of heavy tanning will not interfere with the experience that many clients are seeking.

When you are marketing your add-on services, you will be best served by highlighting them separately from your tanning ads. Targeting to your spa customers specifically will help draw in customers who are not looking for that perfect golden glow, and vice-versa. HOWEVER – once any customer enters your salon give them a tour of your entire facility and let them know that you incorporate a full range of ways to help them look and feel beautiful!

You might be asking yourself “Exactly what sort of services should I add?” The answer to that question actually depends on a few things: how much space do you have to work with, have your customers been asking for anything in particular, do you want to add additional employees and what is your overall budget?

RedLightBed_09SQ24RSP_indigo_Sunquest

Are clients talking about wanting to improve the wrinkles and fine lines of their skin? Do they know people that would benefit from Red Light Therapy? Taking up no more space than an existing low-pressure tanning bed, you could easily re-lamp the bed for red-light bulbs and offer a non-tanning option for improving the appearance (and natural functions) of the skin. You do need to be aware of compatibility and area regulations, however, this is probably the easiest service to add into your existing menu.

Ionic Foot Bath

The Ionic Foot Detox is a great way to increase services and improve the health of your customers. No certification is required. You set everything up, explain the process to your customer, then you are free for the next 30 minutes. After the session, you perform a quick foot-rinse for the client, clean up and get ready for the next session. You could easily set up 2 or 3 units in the same area, maximizing your space, time and budget!

ML_JustPads

Men and women of all ages would benefit from inch-loss technology. With a machine like the LED My-Lipo, you could add a powerful draw to your menu. Once you demonstrate how easy it is to use, your customer places the paddles and operates the machine, leaving you free to tend to other business. Inch loss is safe and effective AND it takes a relatively small space to set up (just need a small equipment stand and a massage table, plus space to change).

At All Hours, your success is our success! We can help guide you down the road of service diversity. With our own wellness center in operation, we offer experience that others simply cannot. Don’t wait, call us today! 1-888-468-0098

LED Fine Line Facial Treatment

Posted on by

FINE-LIGHT: RED LIGHT FACIAL

The use of red LED light is the most powerful & effective way to stimulate the production of collagen & elastin in the skin.

Fine lines and wrinkles result through the lack of collagen and elastin in the skin. LED light penetrates into the dermis layer of the skin, energizing the cells, thereby helping to create collagen and elastin, much the same as when you were younger. Collagen helps to plump up the skin, while elastin helps to firm the skin thus diminishing fine lines and wrinkles. It’s that simple!

ML_Fine-Light-MaskwithBox

What is LED Photo Rejuvenation Light Therapy?

Photo Rejuvenation or Light Therapy is the use of light to create an anti-aging effect on the skin and is quickly becoming recognized as one of the safest, fastest and most affordable ways to achieve younger, more vibrant looking skin.

Fine-Light uses 635nm wavelength.

Why use LED light therapy?

It’s non-invasive, requires no surgery, no harsh chemicals, no lasers, there is no downtime or recovery time, it’s safe for all skin types, and most importantly it works. It is today’s natural skin care at its finest.

HOW IT WORKS

Photo Rejuvenation
Your Skin is made up of 3 layers: the Epidermis, the Dermis and the Subcutaneous.

The Epidermis is the outer layer made up of non-living cells that form your body’s protective cover. These cells are constantly being shed and replaced by new ones. The new cells are made in the lower part of the Epidermis. These are called Keratinocytes which produce the tough, fibrous protein called Keratin
The next layer is the Dermis. It is thicker and contains blood vessels, nerves and connective tissue.

There are two main proteins in the Dermis or second layer of skin:

  • Collagen, approximately 3/4 of the Dermis is made up of this protein which is responsible for the strength and plumpness of the skin.
  • Elastin, which is responsible mainly for the elasticity of the skin.

The next layer is the Subcutaneous, it is the layer that contains the fatty tissues and stores energy, provides warmth and a cushion etc.

People need certain wavelengths of light similar to the way plants need sunlight to thrive.

Photo Rejuvenation produced by LEDs translates the process of plant photosynthesis into the workings of human skin cells; stimulating the body’s own cells to build new proteins the same way plants use Chlorophyll to convert sunlight into cellular building blocks.

Your skin and other body tissues have the ability to absorb light and use it as a source of energy to stimulate cellular regeneration. The light rays that are emitted from the Fine-Light are beneficial for your skin, as they contain no UV rays. The problem with getting these same light rays from the sun is that you also get the harmful UV rays. These harmful rays can do more damage to your skin than good. With LED Light Therapy, when the correct wavelengths of light are closely and intensely flowed into the body, some pretty startling things start to occur:

Collagen and Elastin are produced in cells called Fibroblasts. Inside these cells is a smaller cellular structure called Mitochondrias.  Mitochondrias are responsible for converting nutrients into an energy carrier known scientifically as Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP). This (ATP) fuels the cell’s activities; it basically gives the cells the needed energy to do their job. This is the reason that Mitochondrias are frequently referred to as the powerhouse of the cell.

The LEDs sends light rays into the Fibroblast cells, which in turn excite the Mitochondrias into producing in some cases up to 10 times more ATP, but usually 2 to 4 times. This fuels the cell’s activities, which causes more of the needed Collagen and Elastin to be produced, as well as other needed materials for the skin.  The Collagen plumps up the skin to fill in fine lines and wrinkles while the Elastin helps to firm skin that has began to sag. This whole Photo Rejuvenating process results in skin that appears more youthful, smoother, healthier and more radiant!

ACU-CLEAR: BLUE LIGHT ACNE THERAPY

What is Blue Light Acne Therapy?

 The FDA has approved the use of high-intensity, narrow-band blue light to treat mild to moderate acne. This pain-free light is safe and uses no ultraviolet (UV) light or lasers. When blue light is used as a treatment for acne, it kills p. acnes, the acne-causing bacteria that can form within the sebaceous glands and cause break outs. Continue reading →
