Holiday season is one of the busiest times of year for salons.
With family gatherings and holiday parties clients are coming in for blowouts, colors, manicures, pedicures and waxes… but are they purchasing skin care services?
If you can successfully cross promote hair services with skin care services I guarantee you’ll be encouraged to commit to this strategy after seeing the impact it has on your bottom line.
One of the easiest ways start is by offering express facials that can be done at the same time as other services.
Read below as I share the best express facials to offer during the holidays that will have your client’s skin glowing!
“Bright Eyes” Express Facial
Even the most gorgeous hair and nails won’t conceal tired, baggy eyes!
For clients who complain of looking exhausted, their peepers need a pick-me-up like the Repêchage Opti-Firm Eye Contour Treatment.
This express facial for the eyes is based on the latest advances in skincare and ingredients that help to combat the visible appearance of dark circles, puffiness and wrinkles. Every step of the facial is a uni-dose preparation only opened and used at the time of the application.
Protocol:
After cleansing the skin, cut open sachet 1 Opti-Firm Eye Contour Cream and remove a small amount of the contents. Apply in circular motion towards the nose area, and follow with finger pressure (shiatsu) around the orbicularis oculi muscle. Follow with a tapotement movement for three minutes, then effleurage movements in a figure 8 using alternating hands. Conclude with pressure point movements. Massage should last 5 – 7 minutes, and can also incorporate the Repêchage Silver Ball Massager.
Cut open sachet 2A Opti-Firm Translucent Sugar Mask Powder and empty contents into the enclosed medical grade rubber bowl. Add sachet 2B Opti-Firm Translucent Sugar Mask Gel and mix until smooth. Apply mask to the eye contour area using enclosed spatula, covering eyes. Allow the client to rest for 10-12 minutes. During this time you may provide a scalp massage with Repêchage Purifying and Calming Essential Oils.
Remove the eye mask by rolling it inward toward the nose and downward. Gently remove any remaining residue with wet cotton. Pat the eye area dry with a tissue – do not rub!
Cut open sachet 3 Opti-Firm Lift Serum and remove a small amount, gently apply around the eye contour area. Do not tap or massage. Allow to dry undisturbed. You may use a small hand-held fan to speed up the drying process.
“Peel and Glow” Express Facial
For client’s looking for that holiday sparkle, use the Biolight® Luminex Mask and Triple Action Peptide Mask to create the Peel and Glow Express Service. This treatment helps deep cleanse, hydrate, and brighten the appearance of the skin to create the perfect canvas for holiday makeup!
- Repêchage Biolight Luminex Mask: This peel-mask hybrid is the newest way to get a peeling effect without possible irritation, and combines Kaolin Clay, moisturizing Laminaria Digitata and Ascophyllum Nodosum (seaweed) and natural brightening ingredients including Glycolic Acid, Licorice Root extract, Willow Bark extract, and Pelvetia Canaliculata (seaweed) extract.
- Repêchage Triple Action Peptide Mask: This seaweed-based sheet mask for all skin types combines pure seaweed filtrate and four anti-aging peptides, to help reveal triple benefits in just 10 to 15 minutes.
Protocol:
After removing eye make up with Opti-Cleanse Extra Gentle Non-Oily Eye Makeup Remover, cleanse skin with Hydra 4 Cleanser. Use a mechanical brush to further help with removal of make-up. Remove any excess with cotton saturated with warm water, and pat dry.
Deposit contents of Biolight Luminex Mask packette into a glass bowl and apply with brush to face, neck and décolleté area. Leave on 10 minutes before removing with mummy mask, and pat dry.
Apply Triple Action Peptide Mask to your client’s face. Once mask is in place, peel off paper backing at the notch and discard. Adjust mask to fit tightly to the contours of the face and leave on for 10-15 minutes. Added bonus: Use Galvanic Iontophoresis Current for seven minutes, then leave mask on for additional five minutes.
Remove the Triple Action Peptide Mask and proceed to perform a 10 minute facial massage to work in the rest of the peptides, seaweed, and botanicals from the mask into the skin. Incorporate Effleurage, Petrissage, and Tapotement for an added boost.
To finish, apply the Mineral Face Shield to the face for complete protection.
