Pamper Your Special Man with a Spa Treatment for Valentine’s Day & Get 10% Off when You Bundle with a Little Something Extra for Yourself!

Pampering isn’t just for the ladies. In fact, it’s far from it! According to SPA Future Thinking, 34 percent of men said they think having a beauty regime improves their love lives and 25 percent said it enhances their careers. Plus, a recent KSL Resort-sponsored survey reveals that nearly 75 percent of American men believe spa treatments can ease the tension of business travel.  That finding mimics statistics compiled by the International Spa Association, which concluded that men make up about  30 percent of spa-goers nationally. While most men tend to hit the spa while they’re traveling, there are those 36 (or so) percent of them who make getting spa treatments part of their everyday health and wellness regime.

If your guy hasn’t experienced for himself what thousands of men already know, why not introduce him to the fabulously relaxing world of spa treatments as a Valentine’s Day goodie?

Here at Paul Conzo Day Spa and Hair Salon, we’ve got plenty of spa treatments that will make your honey especially sweet on you, like:

Paul Conzo’s Fitness Facialfor just $85 you can give your sweetie the gift of deeply cleansed pores and high-performance moisture. This relaxing treatment, which is ideal for the rugged sports guy or city-minded professional, will leave his skin in top-performing condition, and it’s great for skin suffering from breakouts or congestion.

Paul Conzo’s Deep Tissue Massagefor just $55 for 30 minutes or $75 for 50 minutes, you can give the man in your life the gift of a deep massage that will target specific muscle groups to relieve stress-related tension and chronic pain.

These are just a couple of options. Visit our website for a complete list of day spa treatment offerings.

And, don’t forget about Paul Conzo’s special going on until the end of February 2012: Get 10% off when you purchase any two of the following treatments—a facial, massage, body treatment or pedicure.

Hmmm…10% off TWO services? So, technically, you could get your honey a wonderful Valentine’s Day gift, plus a little something extra for you—now how sweet is that!

Cupid’s Picks for Relaxing Valentine’s Day Treatments at Paul Conzo’s Day Spa

Valentine’s Day is just two weeks away and that means now is the time to think about what you’re going to get that special someone in your life. Paul Conzo Day Spa & Hair Salon wants you and your loved one to have a fabulous V-Day, so we’ve compiled a list of some of our most romantic and downright fabulous spa treatments that Cupid can’t resist.

Hot Stone Massage—This specialized massage will take that special somone into a deeper dimension of relaxation because our massage therapists use smooth volcanic stones and warm oils to slowly massage the body, melting tension and stress away. The deep penetrating heat of the stones makes this treatment a one-of-a-kind mind body experience that’s the perfect Valentine’s Day gift for just $95!

Can’t decide whether to give your loved one the gift of a facial or a massage. Why should you have to choose! With Paul Conzo’s Fassage your special someone will get the best of both worlds. The treatment starts with a light relaxing back massage to help ease the tension in the neck, shoulders and back. Then, our esthetician performs a Deep Pore Facial, a moisturizing hand treatment with hot mitts, and a relaxing foot massage (also just $95).

Saying “I love you” by giving the gift of a relaxing pedicure is another great Valentine’s Day gift-giving idea. Our Nature’s Pedicure for winter features a peppermint twist or chocolate pedicure. This is a truly amazing pedicure, complete with a foot and leg massage, a relaxing foot soak in our warm whirlpool foot bath where the feet are buffed smooth and nails and cuticles groomed before a warm clay is applied with a layer of warm paraffin to the feet and lower legs hydrated. The rich clay increases circulation as the minerals are absorbed deep into the skin and draws out impurities and toxins from the skin. That special someone will relax while choosing a polish. To further their relaxation, their feet and lower legs will be massaged with hot smooth stones (just $75).

Want to show that special someone just how much you love them by giving them the gift of a full day of pampering? Then, Paul Conzo’s Day of Rejuvenation spa package may be the right gift for you. This total day of rejuvenation will be appreciated for a long time to come because it includes a steam shower, an optimizer facial, a relaxing one-hour body massage, an anti-aging manicure, a moisturizing pedicure, lunch and a shampoo/blow-dry (just $354 for approximately six full hours of utter pampering).

What could be more perfect than having one of Paul Conzo’s award-winning massage therapists lull you and your partner into a state of bliss with a relaxing, stress-busting massage? Our Couples Massage is a great way for you to spend quality time with your significant other. We offer couples massages on request, with advance reservations. Call us for details on pricing and for even more fabulous Valentine’s Day gift-giving ideas.

Don’t forget, too, that through the end of February 2012, you’ll get 10 percent off facials, massages, pedicure and body treatments when you purchase two of those services.

Golden Globes This Weekend: How to Make Your Hair & Makeup Twinkle Like a Movie Star

The 69th Annual Golden Globe® Awards are coming up on Sunday night. We just can’t want to see the one-of-a-kind dresses, the jewelry and, of course, the glamorous hair and makeup. And, we must admit, we’re looking forward to seeing how Hollywood reacts to those clever zingers host Ricky Gervais is sure to deliver!

If you think those starlets’ looks are unattainable think again. And, remember, these ladies are going to be at the salon all day on Sunday fluffing and buffing in anticipation of their big night. In the every day hustle and bustle of real life, you may not have as much time to devote to getting beautified. Fear not fellow beauty buffs, you can still achieve a glamorous and polished look in a pinch.

Here are some tips Paul Conzo’s Day Spa and Hair Salon swears by to make you twinkle like a star over Hollywood Boulevard day in—and night out.

First, take inventory of your makeup bag—you know the one that travels everywhere with you. If you’ve need to get glamified in a pinch, these three items will be your new BFF:
1) a compact of mineral powder—we recommend Bare Escentuals;
2) bold lip stain that can double as a blush (go light on the blush if you’re going all out on the lips); and
3) highlighter—so you can draw out the natural beauty above your eyebrows and along your cheekbones and show off your sparkling attributes.

Also, invest in some rice blotters—these can go a long way toward taking any excess oil off your skin so you can go from the hectic day to a relaxed and glamorous night in a few dabs!

Now, on to those tresses. Be sure you’ve got a bunch of bobby pins and some elastics in that BFF makeup bag of yours. These will serve you well friend when you must transform to a sophisticated look on the fly.

Consider a chignon updo for medium to long hair.  Make a low side ponytail, grab a section of the hair and wrap it all the way toward your head. Spread it out and, with a bobby pin, tuck it into a roll. Grab another section and start wrapping and fastening the same way. Then repeat until no more sections of hair are left. For those flyaways stop by Paul Conzo’s to pick up some of Paul Mitchell’s products. Hint: Adding a bit of Paul Mitchell’s Gloss Drops® goes a long way toward taming flyaways.

Once you’ve got all the sections securely fastened, add a few more bobby pins to hold your chignon in place. Think of your chignon as a flower: No two are exactly alike, so it’s OK if it’s a little loose or off center. The eccentricity of the design is in part what makes the chignon so beautiful and glamorous.

If your hair is on the short side, invest in some barrettes that blend in with your haircolor (for day) and sparkly barrettes (for night) to compliment a side-swept bang. Also, for nighttime think sleek and try Paul Mitchell’s Slick Works. Make a strong side part; spray that side-swept bang into place; tuck it behind your ear, and voilà you’ve got a Hollywood glam look to take you out for a night on the town!

Now, we’ve been talking a lot about transforming into a sleek and sophisticated look on the fly. But, for “Red Carpet” events, nothing says glam like coming into Paul Conzo’s to get your formal hair and makup done (not to mention making your visit a complete day of beauty, complete with massage, manicure/pedicure…the list goes on!).

From weddings to proms and every other special day in between, Paul Conzo’s expert staff of hair stylists and makeup artists are ready to enhance your natural beauty with that extra oomph you’re looking for when stepping out for your very own Red Carpet nights. And, be sure to check out Paul Conzo’s tips on how to achieve a fabulous hair and makeup trial for those special occasions!

Paul Conzo’s Got You Covered with Pampering Treatments that Made Spa Finder’s 2012 Global Day Spa Trends List

Happy New Year everyone! According to SpaFinder, an online authority on all things day spa, in 2012 hot spa trends include pampering to maintain healthy feet, glamming up your look, wellness and beauty coaching and catering to a multi-generational client base. Paul Conzo Day Spa & Hair Salon is happy to report that we’ve got you covered on all of these fronts!

Pampering Pedicures Are a Must for 2012

Pampering feet may have made Spa Finder’s Global Day Spa Trends list for 2012, but here at Paul Conzo we’ve always known that getting regular pedicures is something that everyone should do year in and year out.

Your feet take quite a beating every day, and it’s no wonder why. The average person spends about four hours a day pounding the proverbial pavement. And with more than 120 muscles, ligaments and nerves in the feet—not to mention the dozens of joints and bones those tootsies have got—it’s no wonder that your feet need some well-deserved attention.

So how about it? Book a soothing pedicure where we’ll soak your feet in our whirlpool footbath before buffing away winter’s dry skin and applying a salt scrub to soften them up before massaging them with your choice of lotions. In addition to our basic pedicure, we offer a special moisturizing pedicure, a shea butter pedicure, and a nature pedicure, which is specially designed for the winter season. Kick your pedicure up a notch by adding a hot stone massage to any pedicure for just an additional $10.  Can’t you just feel the soothing touch of those smooth volcanic stones and warming oils melting your tensions away? Is that the sound of happy, tapping feet I hear?

Wellness and Beauty Coaching

Another trend for day spas in 2012 is wellness and beauty coaching. When you visit Paul Conzo Day Spa and Hair Salon we want you to feel relaxed and pampered. But, our commitment to providing you with exceptional service doesn’t end there. Our professional team of estheticians, nail technicians, massage therapists and hair stylists are passionate about what they do, and they keep up with all the trends, attending prestigious trainings, like Hairlines Paul Mitchell System and Redken Exchange. They’re very knowledgeable and can answer your questions about how everyday lifestyle habits can contribute to your overall health and wellbeing. Visit us soon to get some tips of your own on how to look and feel your best for 2012!

Glam It Up for 2012!

Next on Spa Finder’s list: Glamming it up! Of course you want to relax and be pampered when you visit Paul Conzo, but you might also be in the mood for some mega glam. Maybe you’re looking for some added hair flair—good for you if so! Our professional hair salon team can transform your look with 100-percent human hair strands bonded to your own hair without compromising the integrity of your natural strands. Just like your own hair, your new hair extensions can be colored, permed, curled or flat ironed. Talk about glamming up your entire look with some luxurious new locks for 2012!

Don’t forget, too, if you’ve got a special occasion coming up, from a formal dance, a wedding or other truly special occasion, come in for a formal makeup application. Paul Conzo will show you where to put the oomph so you’ll have a va-va-va-voom look people will be talking about the whole year round.

Make Your Day Spa Visit a Family Affair

Last, but certainly not least, Spa Finder reported that for 2012 it’s all about making a day at the spa a family affair. We couldn’t be more pleased to hear that! Paul Conzo’s has always known that nothing makes a visit to our day spa and hair salon more enjoyable than sharing the experience with someone you love.

That’s why we offer a relaxing couples massage specially designed to lull you and your loved one into a state of relaxed and stress-free bliss. We also cater to teenagers, offering manicures, pedicures, eyebrow waxing, specially designed teen facials and our favorite the teen spa package, which includes a relaxing half-hour massage, facial and manicure!

We didn’t need Spa Finder to tell us our services and treatments are hot, but it sure is nice to hear it. We hope to see you all soon so you can look and feel red hot for 2012!

The Winter Skin Blues … or Is It the Greys?

Here in New England our skin goes through many ups and downs. Our climate takes our skin on a roller coaster of changes.  After our short summer months where we try to soak up all the sun we can (hopefully while keeping our skin protected) winter begins! Dry, cold air, heat, wind and sun (yes still that sun) damages our skin even further, The combination of summer and winter damage leaves our skin feeling and looking unhealthy. The skin then takes on a dull grey appearance.

Here are a few simple things to do to care for your skin during these changes:

Always, not only in the summer, but always wear sunscreen. It should be applied to face, neck, chest and top of your hands. Not many people realize how strong the winter sun is. Sun reflecting off snow can be as strong or in some cases stronger than summer causing the same damage. Make your sunscreen a year round habit!

Moisturize, moisturize, moisturize! Apply a good layer of moisturizer to your skin both day and night to help create a barrier for pollutants and elements of the day. At night it promotes healing and helps keep the skin from becoming dehydrated.

Pamper yourself with a facial especially during the winter months. Facials help remove dry dead skin, clean pores, deeply hydrate and speed up the skin’s healing process. Facials can be done every six to eight weeks. They are not only great for your skin; they relax your soul!

How you care for your skin is very important in keeping you looking your very best. While there are so many choices for cleansers, moisturizers, treatments and scrubs, your best bet is to ask an esthetician for product recommendations.

At Paul Conzo’s we offer complimentary skin care consultations. Your skin is too important to leave to chance. Don’t let another winter go by. Begin the healing process now!

Beautiful, Salon-Perfect Nails in Four Easy Steps

When you come in for a manicure and a pedicure, we know that you’re not just looking for nails that will dazzle you for the rest of the day. You’re paying good money for high-quality, professional nail-care services and we want your nails to stay salon-pretty for many days to come. That’s why we’ve compiled our top tips for keeping your salon manicure and pedicure going strong at home:

1) Recognize that Paul Conzo Day Spa and Hair Salon uses the finest nail treatment products and polishes. Cheap polish is known to peel, and with brands like OPI, that’s generally not the case. So, right off the bat, you’ve got that going for you!

2) Try and keep those your perfectly painted fingernails and toe nails away from really hot temperatures, which may cause polish to peel.

3) Make sure your nail technician applies a dehydration solution, like alcohol, before brushing on the base coat (which will help prevent dark enamels or lacquers from staining your nails) and then the nail polish—this will help prevent the oils on your nails from inhibiting the polish’s effectiveness.

4) Apply a new top coat every couple of days, to help your polish last longer. Don’t forget, too, to store your nail polish at room temperature and make sure that the bottle is sealed tightly. Also, keep those hands and feet well moisturized. We recommend applying some cuticle oil after you wash your hands to keep your nails looking salon-perfect until it’s time for your next manicure.

So, there you have it: four top tips for salon-perfect manicures and pedicures.

Ladies, follow these tips, and you’ve got this nailed!
