Owners, managers, you got busy doing the day to day things and the next minute the day has slipped by until your eyes pop opden like a shot thinking how could I have forgotten these amazing people that work with me and for me. Yep, I did it too. Now we have to do clean up because it really did slip our minds. They are thinking, “I work my a.. off  and you didn’t recognize me for the amazing person I am and what I do for you to make your day easier?” Really. I did. Shame on me as a business owner.

It doesn’t matter that you have a lot going in your personal life or business life, you are the chief instigator, the CEO of your life, the CFO, the Marketing specialist,  the President of your company and believe me you may have created your world but you “ain’t” nothing without your team. I know. I appreciate the girls that I work with and don’t tell them enough. I’m one of those perfectionists that I can always find ways to improve something. So let me translate from them, “nothing I do here is good enough, she will always find something wrong” True from the horses mouth. However; if I wasn’t that way, believe me we wouldn’t be able to create the best hairstyles and the best haircuts, manicures, pedicures, waxing, and highlighting that could possibly be provided to you without this expertise attitude. I wear it with pride.

Natural Nail pedicure at Indulge salon York pa for Secretaries Day

The post Uh oh you forgot Secretary Professionals Day|Indulge Salon appeared first on Salon York PA - Indulge Salon.

Maria Lopresti,Expert Natural Nail manicurist and pedicurist Indulge Salon, York Pa

She hails from Pittsburgh, Pa brought here to Indulge Salon, York, Pa. If you have ever been plunked down in a new area where you don’t know anyone, you know how hard it is to get used to a new environment, finding new Dr’s, dentists, gynecologists, hairstylist, manicurist, garage for your car to be worked on and making new friends that might be a little different culturally than what you have been used to all your life. My daughter Alex Acworth Crawford did this when she went to college, then off Georgia, then to Texas for a new job and back again to Georgia. Its not easy meeting new people because you just aren’t confident enough about how you will be received. We understand and want to make her feel welcome with York County, Pa friends. She doesn’t know how wonderful our heritage is here in York and when you get the chance, please welcome her as we have. She is a gem.

As with all of our interviews for potential staff, we have to see their actual skills, meet with them to see if they are compatible with our culture within the salon. She had to do a model to show us her work. We were impressed with the natural nail manicure she provided on the model. It’s not often that you have a new nail technician that comes in with such a highly regarded appreciation for natural nails. She told us in Pittsburgh, Pa that the salon she worked in previously, they were moving towards the natural nail manicures and pedicures. She does enjoy the gel and shellac manicures and pedicures. Then on top of this, she surprised us by saying she is a professional massage therapist. She achieved a Bachelors of Art degree in addition to her Cosmetology license in Pittsburgh, Pa. Please note that she had to tell me that she is highly allergic to hair color and cannot apply or have her hands in the dyes that we use at the salon or she will break out. She  showed me a picture of her scalp when she had color done and how it broke out. Whew, her scalp looked painful and uncomfortable. With that being said, we are cool  with her staying over in the spa and front desk area. It’s already been her second week and she is booking up quickly.

Maria’s schedule for nail services:

Tuesday/Thursday 9:00 a.m – 9 p.m. and Saturday 8:00 a.m. – 3:00 p.m. Still have room for walk-in’s on Saturdays and during the week however we recommend that you call to reserve your time.

Compliments and reviews from our current clients:

I was working behind the chair with a client and one of our fun clients (whom I know is very particular) comes over to me and says, “Kimberly, she is good!, I’m telling all of my friends about her and we need to get her busy.” Mary Bahn, York, Pa

“Kimberly, this girl is good, look at the way the edges are precise, look how neat the polish is applied and she is a delight to talk to.” Rita Carp-Fisher, York, Pa

“Hey, I want to tell you about your nail girl, she did a great job on my nails. I was running late and needed to have them done and she worked me in her schedule. I loved the shape of my nails.” Amy Harlacker, Cleveland, Ohio (she drives 5 hours to have her hair and nails done here at Indulge Salon)

Another long term client walks over to me and says, “excuse me Kimberly, but I just had to tell you how wonderful my nails look and I’m going to book another appointment. I love having my nails done but it’s been hard to find a really good manicurist here in York. I think I found her.” Randi Cohen, York, Pa

The general population feel that pedicures are for women or a “girly” thing which we know that has zero foundation. My son-in-law actually has pedicures with my daughter as together time and she loves it. She loves that he takes care of his feet and she loves the time that they spend together.

Professional men need this need this sport pedicure to remove the dead skin build up on the bottom of the feet after months of being stuck inside those basket ball shoes, golf shoes that get wet once in awhile with a rain storm. Couple of reasons why men should have pedicures are listed here:

1. removes the foul foot smell that will work up to a “leave your shoes outside” comment from your special other. The foul smell comes from not cleaning the feet properly, not cleaning the underneath part of the toes that collect bacteria along with sweat, dirt and general dirt buildup.

2. proper cleasing of the toenails, the disinfectants that are used to kill bacterial from underneath the nails and surrounding tissues.

3. buffing the calloused heels, sides of the feet that were build up from strength training and endurance runs that eventually helped protect the bones but there comes a time when we need to buff those down to a smooth service. Your partner will thank you.

4. relaxing massaging of the leg and calf muscles to reduce tension. Why not? If feels good and again your partner will appreciate your good nature when you are finsihed.

5. no need for polish. A nice buffing will do. Actually that is my favorite part is the buffing block that is used with a special oil to really bring out the shine naturally.

Do your special someone a favor by having an Athletic sport pedicure at Indulge Salon located at the Colonial Shopping Center 970 S George St, York Pa 17403. Our phone number is 717.846,4424. Call to reserve time. Available Monday – Saturday

Happy Mother’s Day to all Mother’s.

We honor you at Indulge Salon for your hardworking, diligence and perserverance to raise our children to be self sufficient loving citizens. I know its hard and that you normally self sacrifice for your children/young adults. We have given up things in order for our children to have a better life experience than what we have. I just learned the other day that statistics shared we spend as adults over 250,000.00 to raise our children and that is before college, IF attend college or advanced education. Kudos to the parents for enduring the smart mouthed 12-13 year old years, the “you don’t understand what I’m going through” conversations that you have or are having over the years, and the “but my friends have one”. Don’t you just love it?

I remember when my daughter was younger, about 8 years old. Her mouth was maturing beyond her age. As we were walking through Lowe’s store, she was crying for something and I had stopped to talk to someone and as I was introducing her to my friend, she said she was adopted.  I could feel the seething anger brewing beyond my ears and smoke was spilling out. She was being really naughty that day and laid down on the floor kicking, screaming and crying to get her way about something. The something I forget, the comment I made was this, ” I brought you into this world and I can take you out!” I apologized the clerk, dropped the stuff at their customer service desk and immediately left. I needed to create immediate separation from my daughter and me in the car. We laugh about that now but certainly not then. I don’t know about you, but this is normal for kids to act this way and what comes out of their mouths is surprising and you ask where in the world did that come from?

When I was a teenager, I actually walked a mile to the bus stop to catch the bus. I had to help on the farm I lived on because it was the family duty and I didn’t GET PAID to help. It was expected of me to actually work and not even ask or suggest any type of payout for my showing up. I remember that mowing the lawn with the tractor mower included the trimming around the bushes and the trees within the guidelines of my grandparents “ideal” lawn layout. Three acres took me about 8 hours in a day or I had the choice of doing it in two days but the idea was it had to be done. Not only did I have to do the outside work but you were expected to help out in the gardens when it was about 80 degrees blazing heat down on the shoulders, arms and neck while picking the beans and pulling out the potatoes from  deep in the earth. My grandparents didn’t discuss dirt under the manicured nails, it was strongly indicated  we have a job to do and let’s get it done because we were headed to the Church supper to help out that night. However; with all of the hardwork ethics I received my grandparents, the best education I received from them was the amount of love and support that I had during preparing meals and the great discussions we had during homework time. Of course, I was plied with cookies and milk or a piece of pie which was homemade. I was blessed by these experiences.

The groundwork of parenting was founded by my paternal grandparents that lead to my father and mother’s work ethic. I met with my mother over this Mother’s Day weekend in which we had “lunch”. I expressed to her how grateful I was to have the hard working experiences. I did with both of them which has made me a better leader, giving and loving, and to be able to care for myself. These ethics and perceptions that are carried from generation to generation really form our thoughts that turn into the consistent behaviors that I will be forever blessed. My parents gave me tough minded activities such as “if you want it, work for it”. Nothing was free or just given to us. We had to work and EARN what we wanted in our lives. Today, I see some of my young adult clients that were given so much and do not appreciate the hard work that their parents provided for them. I again am forever grateful for my tough up bringing. I never expect anything for nothing. I return tenfold of whatever I’m given.

My daughter and son have been blessings to me and a pain in the butt over the years. Let’s be honest here. Not everyday was a happy day. When I said no to my daughter, I meant no. She was creatively insistent on some things such as the time I would go into her bedroom without knocking because we had an open policy in the house until she got much older and needed that privacy. Remember when they were quiet in their rooms, trouble was brewing. She had turned into her teens at the time and constructed some sort of alarm buzzer that woke the entire house up when I walked into the room. Scared the bejesus out of me and of course I had that sucker disarmed in about 2 seconds flat. I admired her for her “courage” in trying to engage this with her creativeness. We laugh about it now since she is 28 years old which I can’t believe she has survived my parenting all of those years. I enjoyed every single one of them except her senior year, check out arvada home cleaning. That was a tough year and I had to call in the back up family for that year. I thank them all for their support. I advise calling in the resources when you need them to get your goal accomplished.

To all of you moms out there in York PA, we have to stick together and support each other. Reward yourself once in a while and allow yourself a little pampering for all that you do in a day. Cooking meals, cleaning the house (yuk no disrespect to those of you that love that activity) transporting the young’uns to soccer, cheerleading practices, free emotional therapy when the boyfriends in middle school break up, the interior decorator advisor to their rooms, being a hairstylist until they learn to do their own hair and makeup application, swim classes and all over yonder to the mall until they can drive themselves. I salute you!!!

10 Ideas to pamper yourself:
1. call the babysitter to come watch the kids at their house for 2 hours. Its nice to enjoy your home that is clean and clutter free and noise free for 2 hours.
2. make dinner for yourself or call out to have it delivered to you.
3. have your special man draw a bubble bath for you. Candles lit, wine or champagne just for you
4. purchase a favorite something you’ve been meaning to do but never had the chance to do it
5. rent a video on comcast or netflicks that you want to watch not having to watch a movie that your kids have vetoed your vote out
6. plan a get away with your special man for a night of romance
7. read a favorite book while its quiet
8. call the salon to have a facial at Indulge Salon, York PA. 717.846.4424 (I thought I’d make it easy for you) or schedule a chocolate pedicure, manicure, or enzyme peel to slough off the stress, or get a new hair color or haircut
9. call your best friend to catch up and giggle over some of the fun things you did
10. send yourself some flowers of your choice “just because you are amazing”

I know first hand the multi-tasking you have performed as a champion of your kids, at work and want you to appreciate yourself. Look in the mirror every day and say to yourself, ” I am amazing, brilliant and I deservthe best”

Enjoy your Mother’s Day!

Kimberly, Mother of Alex and Carson

In my last post I talked about Ombre—the French technique that creates a gradual transitioning of color—and how it is becoming so much more prevalent in fashion and home décor these days. Check out this beautiful dining room and how the color transition calms the room in an almost lyrical way.  It’s beautiful isn’t it? Trendy and current, but by no means something that seems more appropriate for your daughter’s first apartment instead of your more established and conservative home.

As this trend picks up momentum in other areas—especially home design which tends to have much longer staying power than trends in fashion and beauty—it might be time to reconsider how you can incorporate it into your personal style. If you aren’t sure you are ready to commit to the gradual change of hair color, how about playing with nail color ideas?

Check out these examples, one a bit more fun and edgy, the other, any woman—no matter how conservative—could easily pull off and start experiencing this exciting color technique. Call Indulge Salons 970 South George Street location at 717.846.4424 for a nail appointment and while you are there take a look at some of the Ombre techniques for hair color too. It just might grow on you!

As much as I am looking forward to spring, the blustery and bitter cold reminds me each time I go outside that it isn’t spring yet. And although I would never even consider leaving home without SPF on my face and neck, I do admit that for quick jaunts when I am getting in and out of the car and just going from here to there, I do not always bother to protect the skin of my hands with lotion and gloves.

This is one time of year I always give extra consideration to indulging in a full blown spa manicure, instead of just getting may nails done. A spa manicure not only keeps my nails in tip-top shape but soothes and nourishes the skin of my winter-weathered hands. I love the Almond Spa Manicure we have at Indulge Salons for only $30. It’s perfect in winter because almonds have great moisturizing properties for my skin and cuticles, the pampering is overdue, and the almond scent is heavenly!

The Indulge Salon at 970 South George Street in York PA carries a full line of nail services. Our skilled technicians are trained as experts with natural, acrylic, and fiberglass nails, fills, shellac, and gel finishes, in addition to a full line of pedicures services. Find out more at https://www.indulgesalon.com/services/nail-services-are-the-best-at-indulge-salon-york-pa or call us at 717.846.4424 to schedule an appointment today.
