Gift Ideas

Need a gift for the person who has everything? Get them a spa day - you can never have too many of those :)

Winter Nights

Looks like it will be a great night for a warm fire and good company.

With this cold windy weather I'm thinking hot stone massage :)

Peace & Joy

May the littlest joys of the season bring warmth to your heart

You may only be someone in the world, but to someone else, you may be the world.

Gifts

Take a minute and think about all the people in your life that help you, that make your life easier or better in some way. All the loved ones who take the time to support us through the rough patches of life and encourage us to reach our full potential. Sometimes gifts don't come in boxes - they come through a warm smile.

Taking Time

There is never enough time to do everything, but there is always enough time to do the most important thing.

What does this time of year mean to you?

Take a Break

Take a break from the hustle and bustle. Get a 30 minute express treatment at FB Loft for $40

One kind word can warm three winter months

Black Friday

Hmmm, fight the crowds at the mall or get a relaxing massage. Which do you think would make the holidays bright?

Getting ready for the holidays

Time to get yourself ready for the holidays! Add tons of volume and length or just a little flare. You decide how you'd like your new lashes to look and our lash stylists will make it happen. Whichever you choose you'll love how natural it feels - just like your own lashes and they last up to 4 months.

Tis The Season

How good does a candy cane scrub sound? All December long you can come in for a manicure or pedicure and when you rebook the same day you will get a free candy cane scrub at your next appointment.

Nails that don't quit.

Soak off Gel Manicures are the biggest hit this season and I think will be a permanent staple at FBspa.

Have your manicures ever lasted 2-3 weeks and still looked flawless? Now they will.

Meet the Artists - Amber & Perry Nov 12th 7-9pm @ FBspa's Loft

"I want to tell the everyday stories, but even out the playing field. Life boils down to man and woman existing together. In the animal world and in the people world, it's all about to sexes living together.

I want to keep the code international, so no matter where you are from, you understand what is going on. I don't know how that is working, but people seem to dig it.

After growing up in the suburbs of Washington D.C., I attended the University of the Arts in Philadelphia and graduated with a Bachelors Degree in Drawing and Painting. I have shown in various galleys and art spaces locally and Bethesda, MD, and Philadelphia and have works in private collections throughout the country."

~Perry W. Fowler

"As a full time tattooist, painting has become secondary to creating tattoo art for my clients. When I do get time to create for myself it's purely for pleasure. Whatever I may have been looking at, listening to or reading about will creep in and mingle with things from the world of tattooing.

I attended Bucks County Community College for 3 years as a fine arts student before being accepted at the academy of fine arts in Philadelphia. I went for exactly one day, preferring not to be a student any longer but to experience life as a tattoo artist. I have shown at various galleries in Center City, Maryland and have my work in a group showing of tattoo artists in California

I own and Tattoo at Blue Velvet Tattooing in Langhorne."

Xtreme Lashes

Our clients love Xtreme lashes. The Xtreme Lash appointments keep our staff busy and allows our clients to look their best without being confined to mascara. The lash beautification process starts with a consultation. During this time your lash consultant will talk to you about the color, shape, and length of desired lashes. Next, you will relax on our comfortable beds while the Xtreme lashes are applied. Instead of the cheap strips that most salons use Xtreme lashes are sythentic strands applied to each eyelash. The procedure takes about 1 1/2- 2 hours depending on the amount of lashes you desire. The medical grade glue used creates a firm bond with your own natural lashes, allowing the extenstions last up to 2 months. As your own lashes fall out naturally, you may want to visit us again for lash refills to keep your Xtreme lashes looking great. Call FBspa today for your appointment to extend your beauty.

The Loft

We cordially invite you to try FBSpa's newest location. The Loft is a bright, 2 story location just around the corner from FBSpa. Located in the Carriage House at 1 South Main Street in Yardley, The Loft caters to many services including couple's massage, facials, lash enhancements, make-up consultation, and our newest service Air Brush Tanning.

Bamboo Massage...

The Face and Body Spa has a new massage technique on the menu. Bamboo massage is now offered to clients. We believe this new style of massage is sure to please.

Bamboo massage uses a warm bamboo tools of varying shapes and sizes. The bamboo glides over the skin and may be used with swedish or deep tissue techniques. Through the therapist's touch and bamboo tools you will feel a great reduction in tension and stress while relieving tight muscles and tendons. Stimulation of blood flow will have your body thanking you.

The massage will start with application of lotion, cream, or oil to your skin. Your therapist will then begin kneading, rolling, and tapping bamboo sticks on your body to release muscle tension and stimulate circulation. Pressure can be increased or reduced depending on your comfort level.

After your bamboo massage it is highly recommended that you stay hydrated, continue to relax, and think about your next bamboo massage expirience.

After you tan…

Wear loose clothing for at least 6 hours after your airbrush tan

6-8 hours after your tanning appointment take a quick, warm shower using minimal soap

Remember, excess color may wash off in the shower but you will still have an amazing tan

After the first 24 hours, use a tan extender on a daily basis once a day. Moisturizing twice a day will help prolong your tan

Your new tan will begin to fade over the next few days as your body naturally exfoliates

Using the following products will fade your tan faster: AHA, Retin A, BHA, bar soap, scrubs, body bleaching products, toners with alcohol and witch hazel.

Words of Wisdom

Don't Quit

When things go wrong as they sometimes will,
When the road you're trudging seems all up hill,
When the funds are low and the debts are high
And you want to smile, but you have to sigh,
When care is pressing you down a bit,
Rest if you must, but don't you quit.
Life is queer with its twists and turns,
As every one of us sometimes learns,
And many a failure turns about
When he might have won had he stuck it out;
Don't give up though the pace seems slow--
You may succeed with another blow,
Success is failure turned inside out--
The silver tint of the clouds of doubt,
And you never can tell how close you are,
It may be near when it seems so far;
So stick to the fight when you're hardest hit--
It's when things seem worst that you must not quit.
- Edgar A. Guest

Before You Spray Tan...

Before your spray tan, there are a few steps to make your tan last as long as possible. Keep these in mind:
1- Wax, bleach, tweeze, shave and exfoliate at least 8 hours before tanning to eliminate dead skin.
2- Shower before you tan as you must wait at least 6-8 hours before having any water contact.
3- Do NOT apply moisturizer, lotions, oils, or make-up until after your post-tan shower.
4- Do NOT wear deodorant to your tanning appointment.
5- Think ahead of time about where you want your tan lines.
6- Wear loose, dark clothing to your tanning appointment.
7- Remove contacts and jewelry before being spray tanned.
8- Think about how jealous everyone will be of your gorgeous glow!

What about the Groom?

Let's hear it for the boys. All too often a wedding turns into being all about the bride. Don't forget about that special man in your life too. Get him ready for 'I Do' with a Men's Grooming Facial using Yonka's men's skincare line. Or perhaps consider a massage for relaxation.

Our clients...

The greatest part of the face & Body Spa is our clients. We obviously would not be where we are today without their support, but it is so much more than seeing the same faces each week.

The clients who visit the face & Body Spa are some of the most caring, loyal, hilarious, and encouraging people our team knows. Not only do they experience our services, they become a part of our family. We know about the life changing events like when someone gets married, has a child, loses a loved one. And we know the little things like when they're having a birthday, bad day at work, or go on vacation.

The staff at the face & Body Spa would like to thank all who have entered our lives through this amazing business. We look forward to many more laughs, tears, and memories!

Denise's Make- Up Suggestions

Makeup and skin care

Wedding and Prom season is here. Many of you will be getting your makeup professional applied. So here are a couple of tricks of the trade to make your makeup look amazing and last all night. First, wash and tone the face. Next, exfoliate with a gentle face scrub. I prefer using Yonka Gommage with facial brushes. This will gently roll off dead skin cells without tearing the skin. After exfoliating, massage a hydrating serum into the skin. Yonka Serum is wonderful. It hydrates the skin while infusing antioxidants deep into the dermal layer. Last, apply an appropriate moisturizer for your skin type.
Before you apply an ounce of makeup, use a primer. Primers do not allow the makeup to penetrate the skin, fill in fine lines and wrinkles and mattefy the complexion. After the foundation, spritz a hydrating mist a couple of times. Yonka’s Lotion works wonders. It gives a hydrating glow to the skin. After completing your makeup application, dust a translucent powder lightly across the whole face. This also helps set the makeup and takes away any oily shine.
Use these techniques and your makeup will last as long as you will!
Happy Memories!

Your Style vs. the Economy

We are all tired of hearing ‘In these economic times..’ but this is our reality and can affect even the chicest of our clients. Due to the economic forecast, it is more important than ever to make sure you keep up your appearances. Your boss wants to see people not only working at 110% but also making sure they remain professional in attitude and appearance.

One of the best ways to show you care is with a manicure. When you are meeting potential clients or revisiting old ones, it is equally as important to make sure your handshake says ‘thank you.’ During presentations, you don’t want the room staring at your uneven and unpolished nails. The attention should be on what you are saying. If you took time out to make ensure your appearance is flawless- down to the smallest detail like your nails, then your work will be too.

A fresh face and healthy smile also are guaranteed to be noticed. Even if you are under the gun, don’t let the stress show through lines in your face. Microderm is the perfect way to refresh skin and give you the glow that shows you are energized and ready for anything.

Regular trips to your massage therapist can relieve more stress than imaginable. The nights you spend worrying, can be alleviated with a deep tissue or Swedish massage. Our therapists not only ask where your problem areas are located but also note your profile so that they can be examined during your next visit. Massages are best every 1-2 weeks, but we know this is not always possible. Try to schedule at least one massage per month so that your body does not go back to the same kinks and pains.

Finally, when you look good, you feel good. Don’t let the everyday stresses show on the outside. You never know who you may meet, make sure that your career path doesn’t falter because of a lack of personal care.

Bridal Beauty- Yardley Style

Here comes the bride? Not until she is relaxed. The best way for brides to relax is with The Face and Body Spa in Yardley. Whether its stress relief, or the need to spend time with your bridal party and family, The Face and Body Spa has a treatment to cover your needs. Brides from all around the Greater Philadelphia area visit us daily with one common goal-relaxation.  How the Spa achieves this goal varies with each bride.  

      You wear that white dress on one special day but your skin is forever. Make sure your skin looks just as great as gown. Facials are an amazing way to not only relax but refresh your visage. Most of The Face and Body Spa’s brides choose the aromatherapy facial or microdermabrasion for ultimate indulgence. Not only do facials rejuvenate the skin, but your wedding day make-up will last longer with a clean palette. Pictures say a thousand words and your bridal glow will definitely shine through after a facial.

      Ironically, your face isn’t the only part of your skin in need of nourishment. For those strapless dresses and low-cut backs, don’t forget to moisturize. Another bridal favorite is the deep hydrating body treatment, especially among spring brides. Your body will be enveloped in moisture and left feeling like silk. Back treatments leave a flawless back when all eyes are on you during the first dance.

      Your skin shouldn’t match the color of your dress but skip the tanning booth too. The Face and Body Spa uses Yonka’s Sunkiss sunless tanner treatment to give brides year-round summer radiance. Our estheticians go through many steps to ensure your skin is not only exfoliated but moisturized to receive the maximum effect of the tanner.

      Most of the ‘ooh-ing’ and ‘ahh-ing’ from old friends and family members will be over your ring. Make sure your nails complement what made you say ‘yes.’ The classic French manicure stays ever so popular with brides as it is tasteful, yet subtle. The Face and Body Spa has a wonderful nail care team to give your hands the attention they deserve. Both natural and acrylic/gel services are popular and can showcase the ring.

      Although you may feel like your floating on cloud nine, prepare for a night of dancing with a spa pedicure. Don’t forget that destination weddings call for sand-worthy feet. The Face and Body Spa can spoil your feet and legs with a luxurious massage before polishing. Request a paraffin or hot stone treatment, along with your pedicure, to completely refresh your tired feet.

      Close-ups just aren’t the same without the perfect make-up. Ensure that your girls and you are looking your best with a look from a professional make-up artist. This is a great way to say ‘thank you’ and bond with your bridal party before you say ‘I do.’ Whether it is at The Face and Body Spa or on location at your wedding site, we can make your wedding party center of attention. Don’t forget about spa parties also. Reserve the spa for your girls and make a day of it.

      Finally, if the bride looks fabulous and is stress-free, why shouldn’t the groom be? Try not to become a case of ‘Beauty and the Beast.’ Make sure he meets you at the end of the aisle looking just as great. Have your groom visit The Face and Body Spa for a massage or men’s facial. He can decompress and focus on the wedding in peace. With the happy couple looking fabulous together, nothing can go wrong.

January

2008 was an amazing year. We moved to our Main Street location in downtown Yardley. Now with the start of 2009 we look to top last year.

The first month of the year has been quite enjoyable. We have seen many new faces and reconnected with old friends. If January is any indication of what 2009 holds, we welcome it! 

Be sure to keep an eye out for many exciting changes in the new year. Our spa is constantly changing. We believe change correlates with growth and hope that you will grow with us on this journey.
