What is a Hot Stone massage ?

A Hot Stone Massage is a specialty massage which uses smooth, heated stones.
They are often basalt, a black volcanic rock that absorbs and retains heat well. It is a deeply soothing, relaxing form of massage. The heat helps tight muscles release. The various shapes and sizes of stones permit specific work to be done. While the therapist works with particular stones, others rest along your body. The weight and heat of the stones help to unwind muscles, building up overall relaxation that complements the work of the therapist.

What are the steps?
* Before you arrive, the massage therapist sanitizes the stones and heats them water.

* The therapist uses traditional strokes of Swedish massage while holding heated stones. As the stones cool, the therapist replaces them, maintaining continuous waves of warmth.

* The therapist might also leave heated stones in specific points along your spine, or in the palms of your hand, or even between your toes to improve the flow of energy in your body.

* If you have inflammation or muscle injury, cold stones are sometimes used.

* The heat of the stones helps muscles release more quickly than in traditional massage.

• You should speak up if the stones are too warm or the pressure too intense.

A session lasts 90 minutes.

Mini NATURIA dry shampoo

Price is $12 before tax.

RENU AGE DEFY

Because your hair should feel as young as you do and deserves the same care as skin, Atelier Emmanuel has decided to bring in a new line from JOICO, RENU Age Defy, which actively reverses the Aging Process of hair.
With age, hair loses its ability to retain moisture. It thins, and become duller, more fragile and less responsive to styling. Renu products uniquely reverse this process, providing exceptional benefits while replenishing/balancing lipids and amino acids and protecting the hair fiber.

There are 2 product series as well as complementary styling products:

The Softness & Manageability Range enhances moisturization and manageability, smoothes hair, reduces breakage and protects color.

The Fullness & Body Range provides lightweight conditioning to enhance body and fullness, increasing volume, strengthening the hair and protecting color.

The Styling Collection comes with a Bodifying lotion, Volumizing Foam, Controlling Crème and Styling and Finishing Spray.

Also, check out RENU SERUM, a joint effort by Shisheido and Joico. This revolutionary scalp treatment actually inhibits the growth of new gray hair and promotes the growth of healthier, shinier, more youthful hair. We think this is an awesome addition to our Hair & Scalp Spa Treatment menu!

Please ask our stylists for further information.
