Get Festive with Cranberry Products

Tis the season! Now that Thanksgiving has passed, the start of the holiday season has officially begun. But is your spa prepped for the holiday craze? Why not start with cranberry products? Hopefully you and your clients aren't sick of it by now! Don't worry, the below products are most certainly not the edible type. Cranberry is great for the skin! Aside from having nearly every vitamin in the alphabet (well, at least A through D!) these delicious berries are also high in anti-oxidants - perfect for hydration and anti-aging. If you haven't heard of June Jacobs yet, you're missing out! They are an amazing skincare line, and a few of their products feature the beloved cranberry! I guarantee your clients will fall in love with these products. Their attractive packaging will look amazing on your retail stand - just in time for the holiday season! Check them out below.

To start, get your clients hooked on this delicious smelling Creamy Cranberry Cleanser. This ultra-hydrating cleanser provides moisture to the skin during the cleansing process and imparts a bouquet of fresh cranberry - umm, yummy!

After using the cleanser, be sure to have your clients follow with the Cranberry Hydrating Toner. Enriched with cranberry extracts, this toner will feel refreshing. A couple of sprays is all it takes! I use the June Jacobs Elastin Collagen Toner everyday, but this is becoming my new seasonal favorite!

Did I mention their products are paraben and preservative free? To complete the set, the Cranberry Pomegranate Moisture Masque is definitely a client favorite! This luxurious masque is combined with extracts of shea butter and sunflower seed oil to replenish the skin.






Be sure to stock up on these items, as I guarantee they will be selling out fast come December. You can even create your own retail package to include all 3 items!

Beat The Winter Blues With Desert Themes!

Maybe it's the cold weather here in New York, but my mind is on warm sunshine, ok more like desert heat but that could be my popsicle hands speaking :)

One idea that I always like and have seen clients have great success with, is incorporating treatments that are the opposite of what the weather is. In the summer, focus on arctic, cooling treatments. In the winter, think warm!

Client's are used to seeing tropical/island theme's however, desert themes (depending on your location) can be an unexpected hit! You can dedicate one treatment room for the theme, if you have the space. Bring in some small cactus plants, use "desert" colors like coral, tan, sage, reds etc, pick out some agave, lime or aloe infused products - even mojitos!

Here are some ideas to get your creative juices flowing!

Desert Mineral Detox Body Scrub - this is a no brainer! Our best selling scrub across the board for use in services and for retailing.

Sedona Mud - facials, body wraps, hydrotherapy - from the Southwest, red in color and chock full of minerals to detox in prep (and recovery from) for the holidays!

Desert Rain Incense Sticks 
Aloe Vera Products
Hot Stones - perfect for winter!
Polar Fleece Blanket - Camel 
Chocolate Sheets
Sage Sheets

Be sure to have a quality table warmer like the Samadhi-Pro by Earthlite available to ensure clients are nice and toasty!

Trending Now : Essential Oils!

Essential Oils are a great way to help your clients with allergies,stress, headaches, and more! 

Adding essential oils to your treatments, hot towels, and diffusers will stimulate your clients senses! A drop of lavender, or chamomile will bring their stress levels down, and help clear their minds. Chamomile can also be used during massage treatments as it is known to suppress muscle spasms! 


Eucalyptus is one of mother natures amazing natural remedies! This oil is perfect for the winter months when our clients come in with sinus pain, and inflammation. Before any treatment, add a few drops of this oil to your palms, and ask the client to breathe in deeply to help relieve their sinus pressure.



Looking to add some uplifting fragrance throughout your spa during the gloomy months of winter? Add a few drops of NOW's Cheer Up Buttercup to a spray bottle, and spray away! This is a An uplifting blend of bergamot, orange, lime, lemon and grapefruit oils.

Check out the complete selection of Essential Oils from NOW!

Movember Is Here!

And in it's peak at that! November is drawing to a close, but does your Spa celebrate the Movember movement? Not familiar? Movember, or No-Shave November, is an annual event involving the growing of moustaches and beards during the month of November to raise awareness of various cancers. I'm sure you see many of your male clients sporting new facial hair that they haven't had all year to support this wonderful cause. It might be a great time to incorporate specials for your clients during this month!

Need some ideas? How about retail items to support their efforts such as Beard Oil, Conditioner, and even Moustace Wax? We carry Clubman products for men that would be amazing to have on your retail counter during this month. Check out some popular products below:

Clubman Beard Oil is super hydrating and provides a light shine. It also has Macadamia Seed Oil that conditions the beard and skin underneath, as well as prevents irritation due to new hair growth. 

They even make beard conditioner! This conditioner by Clubman works as a moisturizer and conditioner for your clients who need extra hydration.

Do you have male clients who are living true to the Movember name, and only growing out a moustache? Make sure their 'staches are perfectly groomed with our Clubman Moustache Wax!





How about offering your first time male clients a free shave once Movember is over? We have large selection of male grooming supplies. Be sure to check out all of our male grooming products here!

Take your body treatments to the next level!

Offer your clients something new and exciting! 

Far Infared (FIR Therapy) is an ancient technique that uses waves of energy to slightly elevate the surface temperature of the body. Using FIR therapy can help a client loose fat, eliminate chronic fatigue, water retention, skin disorders, as well as aide in the elimination of heavy metals, poisons, and carcinogenic material from our bodies.

The sweating quality that comes from Far Infrared Therapy truly helps us detox from the enormous levels of pollution in modern times! This treatment is perfect for the winter client who is looking to detox after all the holiday gatherings, turkey dinners, and one to many holiday cocktails.

Add this detox treatment during any facial, or body treatment service!
The Meishida Far Infrared Slenderizing Sauna Blanket will leave them feeling light and free of unwanted toxins!

Soaking In A Winter Wonderland!

Have you been thinking about your winter menu, or bringing something new and exciting to your services? Here is one that I wish I could take advantage of today on this cold, rainy day in NY!

All you need to do, is come up with a clever name for the service! This is a great soak to relax sore muscles, clear up congestion and drift off into deep relaxation. The essential oils in this also make it a great treatment for your male clients.

Here are a few reasons this makes an excellent addition to a winter menu:

• Bilberry is great for exfoliating the skin and increasing skin elasticity.
• Eucalyptus is excellent for clearing up congestion and easing sore muscles
• Himalayan Salt (my favorite!), is amazing for detoxifying and relieving sore muscles!

Clearing Winter Soak
Mix together 3 tablespoons of eucalyptus leaves with 3 tablespoons of bilberry leaves in a mixing bowl. Add in 4 drops of spruce essential oil and mix well. Pour the herbs into a muslin bag using a funnel.

When filling the hydrotherapy or soaking tub, place the muslin bag in under the running water. Pour 3/4 cup of Himalayan Salt into the water, making sure it dissolves. Assist the client into the tub and allow them to soak for up to 20 minutes. Assist client out of the bath, follow up with some dry brushing, desert mineral detox scrub, a massage and/or detoxifying body wrap!

Pumpkin Season Continues!

Just Because Halloween is over doesn't mean pumpkins can't stick around! To prove it, we just got in Therabath Paraffin Refill in a delicious new Fall scent - Pumpkin Cupcake. Umm, yummy! Savor what's left of Fall before the upcoming winter months with this lovely new scent. If your Vanilla cupcake refill is popular among your clients, I guarantee this will take the cake (literally)! Infused with clove leaf and orange essential oils, this sweet and spicy paraffin will warm your clients right up.

Speaking of seasons and changes - when was the last time you upgraded your paraffin warmer? When you're ready to purchase the Pumpkin Cupcake Paraffin (be sure to do so fast - our pumpkin supply seems to run out quickly!), make sure you browse our paraffin warmers before you checkout! It will be exciting to have a shiny new warmer to put your new pumpkin paraffin in :)

Read for yourself! They also come in these cool plastic re-closable cases.. why? I have no idea... I'm just a shipping guy! See our great Nufree Mini and Regular Size Double Packs HERE!

Get Into the Holiday Spirit with Hempz!

Now that Halloween is over, the Holiday season has officially begun! Starbucks already put out their red cups, and retail stores are filling up their shelves with seasonal decor and gifts. Is your spa retail ready for the holiday rush yet? If not, you may want to start thinking ahead! I'm sure you already have those clients who like to start early with their shopping and get it all in before Thanksgiving. 

Not sure where to begin? We just got in the latest new White Peppermint & Vanilla Whipped Body Creme from Hempz! This body creme is super hydrating, as it acts as a triple moisturizer and will keep your clients moisturized for 24 hours. It's enriched with 100% Pure Natural Hemp Seed Oil, and it conditions and hydrates dry, mature skin to give it that healthy glow. Who wouldn't want that as a gift? The glitzy red and white packaging and seasonal peppermint scent makes this a perfect stocking stuffer! You can even include them in holiday gift bags for your clients. Be sure to purchase it now, because this lotion is limited edition for the holiday season!

Prep for Turkey Day with Holiday Pedicures!

Now that the excitement of Halloween has died down, Thanksgiving is almost here! Are you going to be offering any Thanksgiving nail specials to entice existing and attract new clients? Offering something new and different from your competition will have your clients ?

Here is a pedicure treatment to ease dry, tired feet whether your clients will be cooking, socializing or shopping!

Thanksgiving Pedicure - complete with a foot soak, masque and moisturizer

Foot Soak:
Add 8 drops of spearmint essential oil and 4 drops rosemary essential oil to your filled pedicure bowl or tub (you can easily make this more "manly" by using cedarwood or sandalwood instead of rosemary oil)


Foot Masque:
In a rubber mixing bowl, combine 1 tablespoon of Sedona Mud Powder with 1 tablespoon of water and stir. Add in 1 teaspoon of clove powder and mix well. Add in 5 drops of spearmint essential oil followed by 1 1/2 tablespoons of cornmeal and mix well. As the mixture sits,the cornmeal may absorb the water, slowly add more as needed. Place the bowl into a hot towel cabi or mud warmer.

Moisturizer:
Combine 1/2 tablespoon whipped shea butter with 3 drops of spearmint and 2 drops rosemary essential oil (again, you can switch the rosemary oil for male clients if they prefer). Place the bowl into a hot towel cabi or mud warmer as well.

Soak the clients feet for 5-10 minutes after cleaning and disinfecting them. Apply the foot masque to one foot to just above the knee. Place a plastic liner and electric or herbal bootie over the foot before moving to the other leg/foot. Allow the masque to sit for 10 minutes before removing the bootie. Cut the tip of the liner to allow you to access the clients toes. Perform your regular pedicure procedure (check out the new polishes!) while the masque sits on the clients legs. Remove the liner and mixture when finished - hot towels work great for this! Finish off with the moisturizer, giving any excess to the client to take home.

Update Your Look with a Waterfall!

Decor is an extremely important part of any salon or spa business! 

No matter what your style, the decor sets the tone. A BluWorld Gardenfall is the perfect way to wow your clients! It is known that close proximity to a waterfall has a positive effect on your overall well being and health. Water evaporates when it cascades over itself and mixes with air. Indoor water features can double as beautiful, elegant humidifiers - without the unpleasant noise of a fan! 

Humidity is important for maintaining proper health - it keeps skin, hair, and nails looking great and assists with proper breathing. 



Along with being a great stress reducer, waterfalls can reduce distracting, and unpleasant noises!

Small spaces? Not to worry, BlueWorld has all sizes to fit your space!
Even gorgeous wall mounted, free-standing, and table top units.

Easy Tips To Boost Retail Sales This Holiday Season

Looking to really boost your retail sales? With the holidays quickly approaching now is a good time to take a look at the products you offer, along with these great ideas/tips to maximize your area and efforts!

When was the list time you changed the items you retail? I'm not saying ditch product lines or anything however, your clients can and will become bored with seeing the same items every time. Mix it up by throwing in some unique items to catch the eye. Things like Therapearls, salt lamps, raw mud soap, and the Desert Mineral Detox Body Scrub - Anti-Cellulite Formula (this is our most popular retail item!)

What type of music are you playing in your business? Do you have different music for your rooms and main area? Having more upbeat music by the register (I'm not suggesting blasting dance music or making a drastic change) has been shown to energize clients after their services, putting them more in that buying mood.

It's no secret that impulse buying is the easiest way to boost sales. If you don't have something little, budget friendly and useful by the cash register, you're missing out on the easiest of sales! Things like the wet brush squirts, lip balms (Eco-Fin body balm is phenomenal!), tweezer displays, hair ties even facial/body tanners set by the checkout are top sellers!

Do you have any lighting in your retail area? Back lighting shelves is a great idea however, just being sure there is adequate lighting may be enough to bring attention back to the area.

Do you have pricing on your retail items? Most people will not purchase an item if there is no price attached to it. They may feel uncomfortable asking the price, not purchasing after knowing the price (whether they were just curious or can't afford it) or just not even bother asking at all. Take a few extra minutes to label your retail items. It doesn't have to be an unattractive stock label, you can create them to fit your style.

This one I found interesting - is there a mirror in your retail area? No matter what you are retailing, people like to see themselves. Even a handheld discreet one can make the difference....a $3.00 investment that can really pay off!

Be sure to have "tester" products out for your clients. People are more likely to buy items they can touch, smell and try out. Be sure to label the bottles "tester" just so there is no confusion!

Even if you change up your retail area twice a year, it may be enough to keep those profits on the rise. If you're not sure what you want to retail, give us a call!!!
