Self Care Savings at Ashka Salon Spa

Self Care

Self care has been a huge topic of thought for me lately. As I have gotten older, I have realized the importance of self care. You cannot give, if your basket is empty. Everyone needs to take time to replenish themselves so that they are in the best state of mind to keep moving through life. Ashka Salon Spa believes this as well, and we are happy to provide a space that you can focus on that self care. Until April 28th, 2018, we are running a special called the #SelfCare Savings Package so that you can focus on yourself for once.

What’s Included in the Self Care Savings Package?

Self Care

Self care doesn’t have to break the bank. This spring Ashka Salon Spa is running a special so that you can enjoy multiple services for a discounted package price. Take a minute to take care of your skin and hair with the #SelfCare Savings Package.

For $100 you will receive:

• Fifty-Minute Tulasara Facial Treatment
• Paraffin Hand Dip
• Shampoo & Blowdry
• AVEDA’s NEW Shine Treatment

These services ala carte are normally a $160 value. You will get approximately two hours of peaceful alone time to center yourself. Think of it almost as mental spring cleaning.

Misty actually just gave me a Fifty-Minute Tulasara Facial Treatment today and I am always amazed at how much that deep cleansing makes me feel better. An hour of peace and quiet, while a trained esthetician takes care of my skin, is exactly what the doctor ordered.

Last week, I was giving my guest an 80 minute pedicure. This service includes a Paraffin Foot Dip. We both agreed that we love the difference the paraffin makes when it comes to moisturizing our skin. My skin personally has been so dry this winter. I know I can use any bit of moisture that I can get.

Aveda‘s New Shine Treatment is amazing! It came out recently and I have been loving adding it to any guest who is interested in it. My hair has never looked or felt better since I’ve been using it on my own head as well!

Call the salon today to book your #SelfCare Savings Package today while we still have availability.

Until Next Time,

Josie 🙂

Benefits of Using AVEDA’s Shampure Dry Shampoo

Why is using dry shampoo so important? Everybody hates when their hair is greasy. Through the use of this product you can revive your look for an additional day. It is important not to wash your hair everyday. It can really dry out your locks. However if you are someone who works out a lot, or feels like their hair just gets oily quickly, you really should look into dry shampoo!

Another great use is when you are styling your hair curly or up. A lot of times hair is too clean and soft to hold your desired style. By puffing some dry shampoo into your hair you will give it some additional texture. Having that grip is important when you want your hair to stay a certain way.

Stop in to Ashka Salon Spa today to get your hands on your own AVEDA’s Shampure Dry Shampoo.

Until Next Time,

Benefits of a Keratin Treatment

A keratin treatment is a great investment. Not only does it make your drying time shorter, it extends the life of hair color! It tames frizz. While creating healthy, smooth, and strong hair, it also protects your hair from heat. This treatment will cut back excess volume and tame curls. It also protects it from humid weather.

What to Expect When You Get a Keratin Treatment

When you get a keratin treatment, your stylist will begin by washing your hair. She will use a clarifying shampoo to get rid of any product build up or natural oils. After blow drying your hair to about 80 to 90%, your stylist will apply the keratin treatment. After sitting for about 20 minutes, the product is then blow dried and flat ironed to seal it into your hair.

At Ashka Salon Spa, you can receive this great service starting at $100. Call the salon today. We can set you up with a free consultation. You can talk to a stylist who will give you the service about your specific hair. They will be able to give you an honest opinion on whether this will be good for your hair or not.
