Salon York PA A while ago, I got back from New York with mega blisters on top of the toes and the sides of myfeet. I totally believe in looking your best but seriously I need to reconsider my choice of shoes when doing business in the Big Apple. I left about 8:30a.m. thinking great I’ll get off the train at Penn Station and walk up in 95 degree heat to 5th Avenue. Sure, I say to myself. This walk will be no problem except after 3 blocks of traffic, people pushing into me and not saying excuse me and lastly my steps were getting shorter as I was squinching (is that a word? I made it up) my toes together in my open toed fabulous Tod shoes that had to be worn to make a statement. After 20 minutes of small step walking, I arrived at Guinot Building and took the elevator up to the 9th floor.

Air conditioning felt amazing as I gently walked into the suite. I couldn’t wait to sit down! The meeting was interesting. I met with some really terrific people at the Guinot office. The new Director of Marketing named Josee is really informed and is helping me deliver the best spa services available to our clients in York PA. She came on board about 3-4 weeks ago and I wanted to know where the company was going for the year. We always plan 1 year in advance so I thought this was reasonable. I met the owner of Guinot products and he gave me the most fabulous gift which was red nylon bag with a leather tab and leather handles. I took the wrap off that was protecting it and used it the rest of the day. I was forever grateful for a carry all. (Later on the shoes I was wearing went into the bag) I met with the general manager who was consumed with our financial progress and was more than helpful to set me straight for the next quarter. I’m sure you have experienced this in your business dealings right?

I had preplanned my day and after the morning meeting, I met one of my favorite people named Andrew. He is the owner of The Beauty Resource. He has also been my mentor for over 6 years and I have had the best fortune to have him as my friend. We met for lunch at this fabulous eatery call Italeatory. You want to talk about fantastic food. I’ve never seen such a clean place that serves up such beautiful organic food. Andrew and I shared some tomato soup that was delicious and I had fried vegetables. It was also an opportunity to give my precious feet a break! We caught up on some business and we moved on forward in the day.

My goal was to find some fabulous shoes to finish the rest of the walk to Penn Station. Do you think there would be one shoe store like Aldo or Nine West or anything else that comes to par with style. NO of course not. Not one flip flop store. Nothing. I removed my painful coverings and went barefoot. Yes I did. I know you are shocked but I had to to survive. At about 4:03 arriving onto the Amtrak train towards Lancaster my feet were able to breathe again and relax. Unfortunately, the blister atop my toe is 1/4″ high and ready to burst. The blisters on the sides already burst and are constant reminders of my day. I had a very productive day however; I will be rethinking my choice of shoes the next time I decide to manage my business in New York City. My feet will be propped up like a dead deer on the road. Straight up to drain the feet from being swollen..

Salon York PA What is glycerin soap?

It is thick, colorless, non-toxic liquid known for having a slightly sweet taste. Glycerin is the by product of soap-making and biodiesel production. Companies often extract glycerin during the process to use for higher end products. Glycerin soaps are available at Indulge Salon and have a light weight feel and have a beautiful aromatherapy sensory experience that envelopes you while showering. The bars last about 2-5 weeks depending on the use of the bar. The benefits of using glycerin soap are the humectant properties, which allow it to absorb moisture from the air, glycerine is used in skin emollients to keep skin supple. It also gives  beauty and pharmaceutical products the smooth teture and a sweetened taste. In the food industry, glycerin is used not only as a sweetner but as a food preservative as well. Interesting isn’t it?

glycerin is used in nail hardners to help strenghten the nails and nail moisturizers. I can share with you the Indulge Body Butters and Indulge Pure Originals does not have glycerin in them. We use almost the purest ingredients “almost” good enough to eat. We have cocoa butter, shea butter, sweet almond oil, and a small amount of an ingredient in it that will prevent bacteria from growing inside the jar or lotion bottle. That little bit of ingredients is required by law to protect the customers since we don’t know where everyone’s hands have been and when the hand or fingers are inserted to extract product from the jar or lotion, it will prevent deterioration of the products.

Did you also know that glycerin topically reduces scarring and also helps to heal skin problems such as burns, bites, cuts, rashes, bedsores, and calluses.

I would recommend that you stop in to check out our soaps. We are so proud of these creations. They do not have strong fragrances but will enhance your own fragrance that you wear. If you have any questions feel free to call us at 717.846.4424. We are happy to provide you with any information you need to make the best decisions about products that you purchase from us.

Suggestion to keep your dry skin moisturized is to view the photo above and apply while your body is wet after washing and you are ready to hop out of the shower. Please pat dry with a dry towel and then massage any leftover into the skin and allow the air to pass over your skin to thoroughly dry. You will never have dry skin again after several uses. Enjoy!.

Salon York PA As seen on Facebook Julie Fabie on her Brazilian Blowout experience at Indulge SalonClient, Julie Fabie, of Indulge Salon received a Brazilian Blowout. She tells her story

See the testimonial by Julie Fabie on IndulgeSalon York facebook. She will tell you first hand how her experience has been. I am simply stunned with conversations with customers that do not know what they are talking about with Brazilian Blowout Keratin treatment services.

The new Zero treatment is not as strong as the regular treatment and it is designed to smooth and defrizz the hair. It will not make the hair super stone straight unless the person has super fine hair. The results have been fantastic with our customers and you can listen to their comments on http://www.theindulgesalon.com. I am impressed with our results because all of our staff members have been thoroughly trained in this treatment. We stopped rinsing the hair afterward flat ironing it because we found that we can help our customers go from the original 8-12 weeks now are going to 15 weeks.

Call if you are interested  or have a question. We will be happy to answer your questions. Beware of other salons that have not had certification nor equipped to appropriately use the solution in the correct manner. Be afraid if you do not have enough ventilation while having the service. We always give a ballpark in how much the service will be without the haircut so if there is a beauty budget we try to honor that..
