Individual Services

We are excited to announce that we have introduced individual & couples spa services Monday-Thursday from 9 AM- 7PM! This service is ideal for busy singles or couples who find it easier to enjoy spa treatments at their home or office, couples looking to bond over a relaxing couples treatment, stay at home moms who want to squeeze in a service during a nap time, home bound individuals or people who just want to experience a relaxing, convenience spa treatment in the comfort of their own space- at their own time. (Nothing like not having to get in the car and drive anywhere after a great massage, facial or pedicure!)
 At home services were once a luxury available only to high profile celebrities. Now, you too can take advantage of this unique service- without a ridiculous price tag. Our staff is great at what they do, are passionate, fun and professional.
 We also offer great perks to our on-going weekly, bi-weekly & monthly clients such as a free pedicure in their birthday month etc. We also offer discounted rates to massage clients committed to ongoing care. (Standing appointments) We love our clients and we look forward to inviting you into our spa family! Our addition of Individual Services is just one more way we are evolving to better serve you.

Have a great weekend!

April Showers Bring May Flowers

 With summer around the corner it seems as if everyone is expecting or announcing the arrival of a new little one. We thought we would share some great ideas for a Spa themed Baby Shower or Baby Sprinkle. A spa themed shower may just be the perfect idea to help the mommy to be relax and find some comfort & relaxation before her little bundle of joy arrives. She probably can no longer reach her toes and could probably also benefit from a good prenatal massage for neck and back pain. So where should you start? Here are some inspirational ideas to help your creative juices to flow! You can hire professional therapists to come treat your guests to luxurious spa services or you can set up stations for guests to try out different DIY spa services.

          

DIY:
Set up spa stations with things that you already have at home. Paraffin Wax station, nail painting station (make sure you set out a variety of polish colors, cotton balls and nail polish remover so that guests can take turns painting each others nails) A pedicure station with a basin for water, plenty of towels and you may want to consider small pebbles or stones in the bottom of the basin for guests to massage their feet with. You may also have an electric massaging footbath that guests can take turns with, depending on the size of the group. If you have a massage pad, set up a station where guests can take turns sitting in the "massage chair". Another great option to have is a facial station. There are plenty of great websites online where you can find homemade facial scrub & mask recipes. Just advise guests to do a patch test first, before applying it to the face- to avoid any allergic reactions- especially for guests with sensitive  skin. Another fun station would be to set up a Yoga (or Prenatal Yoga) DVD and encourage guests to get involved!

                 
Another option is to hire a professional staff to come in and treat your guests to professional services. This will cost anywhere from $20 per person (including gratuity) to $150+. The advantage to hiring a professional spa company is they will usually provide spa robes for massage and facial services, spa music, light spa decor such as rose petals and candles and they bring all of their own products and equipment. Professional services can range from nail services to facials, body treatments, massage, spray tanning, yoga, make up, hair etc. For more information visit: Spa Events NY

                                                         
If you want to cut costs, but still do something special- consider making your own stations, but hiring a massage therapist to come and treat each guest to a 10 or 15-minute chair massage. Chair massage is a very inexpensive option, costing $1/per minute (before travel & gratuity). Spa Events NY
Do not forget:
Soothing Spa Music
Rose Petals
Plenty Of Candles
Magazines for Guests To Enjoy
Robes- Greet each guest with a robe as they enter the party. Depending on your budget, these robes can serve as party favors for guests to take home or you can also advise guests to bring robes/slippers to the party of their own to wear.
Spa snacks- fruit, light horse’ devours, wraps, tea sandwiches & hot or cold soups are just some ideas

                                         

                    

If weather permits, consider hosting your spa soiree outdoors! Poolside, Garden or Back deck or patio set a great scene for a spa themed shower or event.

Favors: Flip Flops, Spa Robes, Manicure Sets, Lotions, Nail Polish, Candles, Bath Salts, Bubble Bath, Individually wrapped cookies shaped as different spa items (i.e. nail polish, woman with a green face mask and cucumbers on her eyes, lipstick, hands etc.)

Spring 2011 Nail Trends

So we have finally entered the blogging world! We are excited for this opportunity to bring you amazing DIY party ideas, beauty tips and so much more. If there is something in particular you would like to see on our blog, please feel free to send us an e-mail at info@spaeventsny.com with your ideas.

 With spring upon us, you are probably thinking about pedicure appointments to get your tootsies into tip-top shape before flip flop weather is here. (Although hopefully you have gotten a few maintenance pedicures at least throughout the winter to manage dry skin and calluses that come with our wonderful Upstate, NY winters) Some of you may be interested in what the newest spring colors & trends are for 2011. Well we are here to tell you!
                        
                                   

 Nudes are big! Above is manicurist Josephine More working behind the scenes at Fashion Week 2011 holding up one of our personal favorite shades: Innocence by China Glaze. Designer and industry veteran Tadashi Shoji chose this sheer, pale, pink polish for his renaissance-themed Spring Collection. Nude nails were a favorite, without a doubt at the Spring 2011 Fashion Week in New York and it works well with all skin types for virtually every season.

  Other similar nude colors we love: Diva Bride & Heavenly by China Glaze or Bubble Bath by O.P.I

                                     
                                         Lady Gaga
                                   

                                                   Beyonce

Fashion Week 2011

  Another trend that is huge right now are Metallics! Various metallic polish shades and minx nails are all over the runway this year A lot of celebrities, including Jessica Lowdens, Beyonce, Lady Gaga & Rhianna have been spotted sporting trendy metallic polish colors as well. We think that the key to keeping these nails looking chic and sophisticated is keeping the nails short. Go too long and they may get a little funky!

   We all know Pastels are inspired by the pallet of a flowerbed and what a perfect way to inject a pop of color into our spring look! Pastels are HOT for spring! We especially love this particular shade by China Glaze called Refresh-Mint. Blues of all shades seem to be popping out everywhere this season as well; so how appropriate is this light pastel blue color for spring! We love it.
 Pastels such as peachy pink also look fabulous with a great tan and Lavender is another one of our favorites that look stunning with every skin tone. While pastels seem to always be "in" for Spring, lavender and peach seem to be jumping out from the rest for 2011.
