Mother’s
Day is an ideal opportunity to let Mom know that she deserves special
pampering and a salon or spa experience is the perfect gift for her.
It’s all about finding the treatment that matches her personality
and the spa or salon that meets her requirements.
Does
your mom desperately need to relax and get away for a few short hours
or is your beautiful wife a diva who wants her look picture perfect
24/7? Often moms are a mix, sometimes sassy and fun but in other
moments bookish and intellectual so choosing a spa treatment can be a
matter of seeking the right balance. The beauty of a spa or salon
gift is that it offers a peaceful escape for Mom to use when she
really needs it.
Check
out these amazing spa and salon gift finds and see if there isn’t
one that fits her personality. If you want to learn more about spas

Therapeutic
Deep Tissue Massage
If
there’s one universal Mother’s Day spa gift, it is a massage. A
therapeutic deep tissue massage is specifically aimed at releasing
deep muscle tension and spasms, relieving pain, and alleviating
dysfunction with slow, even pressure.
A
massage is a welcome gift for the busy, stressed out mom who often
doesn’t know when her next spare moment or opportunity to relax
will arrive.
A
Med-spa Facial
Facials
are a great option for Mother’s Day because they smooth the skin,
hydrate and leave mom feeling younger and refreshed. Many
day spas offer high-level facials like the glycolic peel and facial.
A
glycolic peel
exfoliates dead-skin buildup to minimize lines, reduce breakouts and
brighten skin. Application of a glycolic peel stimulates cell
turnover to produce a smoother more youthful appearance.
A
glycolic
facial will also reduce fine lines, hydrate and reduce the appearance
of age spots by using a pure glycolic sugar cane base and vitamins A
and C with a rejuvenating mask treatment to restore skin to a
youthful appearance with a radiant glow.
Designer
Hair Cut and Finish
Create
the ultimate Mother’s Day experience for Mom at her favorite local
salon. Give her the gift of a luxurious haircut and blowout. It will
make her feel great and motivate her to spend an evening out with
friends and family to show off her great new look.
An
Anti Aging Facial
Day
spas have been helping moms relax with warm, fluffy robes in a
relaxing and rejuvenating environment for a very long time. An
anti-aging facial is a perfect gift for Mother’s Day.
Skin
Waxing
As
a fair warning, skin waxing isn’t for every mom. But, but if it is
a regular part of Mom’s beauty regimen it could be an ideal gift
for her! Make sure the spa’s esthetics staff has extensive training
and are board certified and licensed. A skilled technician can
provide waxing services that are effective and thorough but with a
gentle touch.
Waxing
options are numerous, including the American, French, Brazilian and
Japanese Bikini waxing treatments but they do not end there. If it
sounds confusing make it easy for everyone and purchase an Instant
Gift Certificate so she can choose from a spa’s extensive services
menu.
Nails
Give
Mom a day spa experience like an hour or two getting a pedicure or
lavish foot treatment! With extensive spa menus Mom can get exactly
what she wants and come home feeling beautiful and relaxed.
Keep
in mind, this summer the hot new colors for pedicures are: turquoise,
granite, light lavender, orange red, peach, gold, blue black, fuchsia
and glitter for layering.
Pregnancy
Massage
Pregnancy
day spas offer special treatments to help the body prepare for and
acclimate to motherhood. Many offer prenatal massage, balancing
facials, pampering pedicures and can reduce discomfort, counteract
hormonal effects, and enhance the natural glow of pregnancy.
These
specialized day spas often combine the most popular services as spa
packages that can be enjoyed all the same day or scheduled on
multiple days for an extended pampering experience.
Still
unsure about what your mom or wife might like for Mother’s Day? It's so easy, just purchase an Instant Gift Certificate at Joy of Spa and give
her a spa gift she can choose and customize for herself.
