Spring Reflections...

It seems like only yesterday I sat down to write about Mother's Day, upcoming specials for the month of May and the grand opening of our brand new green facility at 221 Wolf Road. Spring has always been an exciting time of year at Complexions, and this year is certainly no exception - but it does feel different. The poet e.e. cummings described Spring as being "like a perhaps hand / arranging and changing placing /  carefully there a strange / thing and a known thing here)and / changing everything carefully".

Reflecting back on all the 'new things', 'known things', 'old things' & 'strange things' we've so carefully arranged, changed and added to Complexions this past year, I can't help but smile at how perfectly this poem captures the spirit we've applied to our own thoughtfully considered innovation these last 12 months. So while there's certainly no shortage of improvements & updates to enjoy and treasure within the new Complexions, quite a few features remain that will never change or break, like our commitments to our clients which include (but are certainly not limited to) sublime service, premium products, pure ingredients and making sure that every minute you spend at Complexions is as pleasant as can possibly be.


Mother's Day Gift Ideas and Our First Facebook Contest!

For all the special ‘moms’ out there in search of a little more harmony & balance... we present to you a few of the most relaxing and rejuvenating gifts in the whole wide world:

  • Na Lotus Flower Organic Facial
  • Hot Poultice Massage
  • Kai Chin So Herbology Body Scrub & Facial
  • Mom & Daughter Side by Side Massages
  • A Super-Mom Revitalizing Retreat
Click here for pricing and treatment description. As for the Facebook contest, here's how it will work:
  • There will be 20 ‘winners’ total.
  • The first 5 people to post their favorite ‘thing’ about Complexions on our Facebook Page Wall will receive a coupon for 20% off any single service we offer.
  • After the first 5 posts/people, everyone else who writes down their favorite thing about Complexions on our wall between then and 12 pm Sunday will have their name put to paper and added into our contest hat. (In other words, if you don’t open this email until, say Saturday, don’t worry, because you still can win :)
We’ll accept entries until 12pm sharp, Sunday (i.e. Mother’s Day).  At 12:30 pm, we’ll bring the Hat into the middle of the shop and pick out the final 15 winners (who each get a 20% off 1 service coupon too).  For this contest, your favorite ‘thing’ can be just about anything Complexions related (specific treatments, certain products, favorite room, whatever :).  In order to write something on our wall you do have to be a “fan” of Complexions, so if you’re not one already, just click “Become a fan” underneath our picture in the top left of our page and enter in your post.

This is only the first on many Facebook contests we’ll be having over the next several months so have fun, enjoy and most of all, good luck!


Introducing Master Barber Zack

We are pleased to introduce our newest member to our hair care team, Master Barber Zack.  His clean, precise technique comes from over 8 years of hair styling experience. As for the quality of his hot-foam shave, my husband Bill had this to say:  “Besides the extra smoothness a top-notch straight-razor shave offers, what I really enjoyed most of all was how relaxing the 30-odd minute procedure was. There’s just something intrinsically peaceful about the smells and sounds and processes involved in an old time barber shop shave.”

We certainly agree, which is why we’d like all of the husbands and men receiving this to consider thinking of our old-world Barber Spa as not just a better haircut, but a better value as well. In fact, we’re so confident that you’ll love everything about the way we handle haircuts at Complexions that for the entire month of May, select either two cuts for the price of one or, if you prefer (as Bill does), simply come in for a master barber cut and receive a complimentary traditional hot shave on us. We are offering this limited special as an introductory offer so you can meet Zack and experience his brilliant technique first hand. To lock in this offer, simply mention this special when you call to schedule your first appointment with him. :)


Wake up Wednesdays with Metta on the Mat

Can you think of a better way to start your day than with a gentle Thai Yoga Class? We can’t either! Which is why we're so excited about the new morning classes in our Serenity Relaxation Lounge. Metta (meaning Loving Kindness) is a wonderful way to set your day’s intention in the right direction. Thai Yoga Massage stimulates and balances the flow of healing energy within the body, opening the areas which are blocked bringing the person deeper into balance and harmony for health, happiness and wellness of being. This system creates a powerful release of stress and tension, an increase in vitality and well-being and it deepens the connection between mind, body and spirit in both the giver and receiver.

After class, there will be fruit, muffins, wheat grass beverages, juice & organic tea for you to enjoy. Full access to spa amenities including steam, sauna, and shower facilities (always) included ;).

Classes are every Wednesday morning, from 7:00-8:00 am. They are led by Randi, our certified Thai Yoga Instructor with enough years of experience to assure you’ll take away the most rewarding benefits. Registration is a must for each and every class. Single sessions cost $20.00 while a package of 10 costs $180.00. 24 hour cancellation notice is required. See you there!


Closing Comments

The past 12 months have been our most rewarding in all of our 21 years in business.  Listening to your suggestions and comments as well as your support of our services, products and new eco friendly facility has made a world of difference.  You have helped us create a spa for you.  I, along with all of the wonderful team of professionals at Complexions Spa & Salons would like to thank you for that support this past year. We appreciate each and every one of your comments and will continue to listen closely so that we can more easily succeed in providing you with the most soothing space to relax, rejuvenate and restore yourselves within.  We look forward to seeing you soon and wish you all a beautiful spring.

Sincerely,
Denise

Spring is like a perhaps hand


Spring is like a perhaps hand
(which comes carefully
out of Nowhere)arranging
a window,into which people look(while
people stare
arranging and changing placing
carefully there a strange
thing and a known thing here)and

changing everything carefully

spring is like a perhaps
Hand in a window
(carefully to
and from moving New and
Old things,while
people stare carefully
moving a perhaps
fraction of flower here placing
an inch of air there)and

without breaking anything.

- e.e. cummings
