Wellbeing practitioners: offer something different with warm bamboo massage

Monday, October 31st, 2011

Calling all therapists : you may have mastered massage and be at home with hot stone therapy, but are you familiar with warm bamboo techniques? This relaxing treatment uses natural products to release tension, stimulate circulation and relieve stress. We’re desperate to give it a go…

If bamboo instantly makes you picture a panda, you may be surprised to discover that Stonehenge Australia, suppliers of a variety of massage kits, grow their bamboo organically in Australia’s beautiful Byron Bay. With a sub-tropical climate and a long history of farming, Byron Bay is the perfect place to grow this calming crop – and there are no peckish pandas to get in the way, either. Phew!

Want to add warm bamboo massage to your treatment menu? Stonehenge Australia’s kit contains 8 bamboo canes of different length and width, along with a cup and tapotement sticks. Combine these professional products with a variety of massage techniques to give your customers an exceptional experience that will leave them blissfully relaxed.

Think bamboo is best left to pandas? Stonehenge Australia (www.massagekits.com.au) also stock massage stones, seashells and crystals to help you carry out therapeutic and healing treatments. Why not browse our list of massage therapies to see what other therapists are offering?

Zen Lifestyle to open new Edinburgh salon

Thursday, July 7th, 2011

Beauty junkies will be excited to learn that Zen Lifestyle are due to open a skin clinic and beauty salon on Edinburgh’s Hanover Street in August. The new salon will cater for the needs of the busy yet beauty-conscious, with time-saving treatments designed to leave clients well-groomed, refreshed and rejuvenated. Sounds good to us…

The new salon has been personally designed by the owners of the Zen Lifestyle group and will have a sleek, modern feel. With contemporary white furniture, modern art and a light installation by British designer Tom Dixon, the salon will be a treat for the eyes as well as for the skin.

Clients will be able to choose from a menu of anti-ageing skin treatments, non-surgical cosmetic procedures, manicures, brow and lash treatments and spray tanning. The salon will welcome both people looking for a day’s retreat and those who want a lunchtime beauty fix, giving everyone the chance to indulge in some pampering. We think a team trip to Edinburgh may be on the cards…

Saks to open beauty-only salons

Tuesday, March 15th, 2011

The UK’s leading chain of hair and beauty salons, Saks, have revealed plans to open some beauty-only salons. Known predominantly for their award-winning hair services, managing director Stephen Kee is interested on developing the beauty side of the salons, saying:

“I want them to have only beauty imagery in the windows and a different look inside but still with colours and messages that make it clear they are part of the Saks brand. Most franchisees that approach us will be specialist in either beauty or hair; few have trained to specialise in both. If the managers have dedicated their lives to beauty therapy it makes sense for us to allow them to focus all their time on that.”

The move gives Saks the opportunity to promote both hair and beauty equally, something which is difficult on one site. They currently have 140 salons nationwide – and a few international branches on top of that – and are looking to open four beauty-focused salons in 2011. After riding out the recession, Kee insists that it’s now all about growth.

Franchise opportunities are currently available, so apply online – then let us help you get your new business booming!

Calling all mobile therapists…

Wednesday, March 2nd, 2011

Urban Retreat at Home – a new franchise model by Harrods and Harvey Nichols – gives you the chance to offer clients a premium salon experience in the comfort of their own front room.

George Hammer, founder of Urban Retreat, stated: “We’re building on the experience of having been at Harrods for 10 years and this franchise opportunity is open to all mobile therapists.

“Up to now, mobile therapists have often been considered second rate, badly trained and inconsistent. What we’re doing is harnessing all the good parts about being a mobile therapists and creating an up-market offering rather than a discount, cheap offering.

“Most mobile therapists work on the basis that they are cheaper than a salon – we’re working on the basis that At Home treatments will be either at salon price, or above, by making it a premium experience.”

Urban Retreat has been voted 2011’s Best UK Day Spa and they’re known for being at the forefront of the luxury beauty industry. They pride themselves on offering the finest selection of hair and beauty brands – and they’re now giving you the chance to be a part of their prestigious business.

Becoming a franchisee costs £12,000 and comes complete with a fully equipped Audi A3 car, MP3 player, candles, robes and scented tea. You’ll get full, specialised training at their Urban Retreat Beauty School – all you need is an NVQ Level 3 qualification or a Cidesco certificate. Sound like something you’d be interested in? Fill out a registration form on their website and once you’re up and running, we’ll give you a helping hand in roping in those all-important clients.
