Spascape Day Spa

Spascape for weddings

Spascape Day Spa has been responsible for helping many a bride walk glowing down the aisle.  As a matter of fact I cannot imagine not going to the spa before the big day.  There are a number of different ways in which Spascape helps brides get ready for their wedding, and you can choose any or all of the  following spa preparations.

Naturally we do makeup for the wedding party:  bride, bride's maids, mother of the bride, even mother of the groom.  Our trained and talented makeup artists will meet with you a week or so before your main event to do a trial run to determnine the best bridal look for you.  We use Jane Iredale mineral makeup that is rich in color and velvety in texture, and our makeup artists are trained in techniques to ensure that your makeup is long-wearing, and flattering in photos.  Rest assured we've done the bridal make up thing many-a-time.

Most brides like to come in a couple days before the wedding to get a spray tan.  Linda is a pro with the airbrush machine and is very helpful in choosing color that will look authentic on you.  We use Aviva Labs Sunless Spray Tan which is a natural looking, alcohol-free, hypoallergenic formula that can be customized for each and every client.

One thing we do alot of here at Spascape are the bachelorette parties, or wedding showers.  You can book the spa ahead of time and receive special rates on a multi-person, multi service event.  It's a terrific way for the bride and her friends and family to bond over the intimate spa rituals of nails, massage or facials.  Spa days are sure to make a special event even more memorable.

 While it is ill-advised for a bride to get a facial immediately before the wedding, it is a good idea to think ahead and start getting a series of facials  or light peels for several months leading up to the big event.  When strategically planned out, problem skin can be whipped into shape in preparation for the bride's special day.  This is especially important when you think of your face being captured in photos that will document it for all time.

And finally - bikini waxage!  Most brides like to come in a few days ahead of time and get cleaned up in anticipation of their honeymoon.  Whether it's a swimwear trip to Aruba or the snowsuit slopes of Vail, every bride wants to be looking her most alluring in the bedroom.

So while June may be the big month for wedding ceremonies most brides know that now is the crucial time for planning.  If you or anyone you know is in the planning stages of the wedding give us a call at Spascape and we can help you look and feel your best for the main event. (781)545-1200 

politico detox specials

 

Now that the political maelstrom has come and gone we can all heave a big sigh of relief.  Regardless of whether you won or lost, I think most of us can agree that it is a weight off our shoulders to no longer be bombarded with all that name calling and mud-slinging.  It's so negative all those bad vibes - not very serene and spa-like in the least.  But stress not dear friends, because Spascape Day Spa has got your back.  Our fearless leader and intrepid entrepreneur Deb Larson has come up with the perfect antidote to the screaming politicians:  a politico detox special.

November 3 - 5 (Wed- Fri) come in and enjoy one of three detoxifying body treatments designed to do everything those rabid politicians do not:  comfort, coddle, nurture, and cocoon. The featured treatments are all created with Farmesthetics  herbal products from the farm -  100% pure natural ingredients just for you.  

1.  Midnight Honey Body Buzz with Warm Honey Cocoon  1 hour:  After being exfoliated from head to toe with whole grain Honey Dust Body Scrub , you will be lightly massaged with Midnight Honey organic oils with pure honey, then wrapped in a cocoon to rest and let the potions work their magic.  It is a rich sensory experience that will take you to the depths of relaxation and make your skin softer and suppler than you can even imagine.

2.  Hot Toddy For The Body 1 hour:  First you will experience complete body exfoliation with a cornmeal/cinnamon/orange & clove body scrub.  This spicy concoction is infused with sweet soy, calendula, and orange oils to give you the smoothest, softest skin imaginable.  After exfoliation you will recieve an invigorating massage with Deep Lavender Rub and then be wrapped in a cocoon  for an over-all  stimulating, revivifying experience that is sure to cure you of any physical or mental fatigue.

3.  Deep Lavender Hand & Foot Treatment 30 mins.:  This is a lovely alternative for those of you who don't have the time or inclination to do a full-on body treatment but still want the utmost in pampering.  Your feet will be cleansed and soaked in Fine Herbal cleanser, then exfoliated with Yellow Cornnmeal & Lavender Buds Scrub, and finally massaged with the intensely relaxing Lavender Rub.  While your feet rest in warm towels your hands and arms are expertly massaged with the very healing Nourishing Lavender Milk.  This treatment definitively smooths and soothes the body, mind, and spirit.

So shake off all that bad ju-ju and political tension and come into Spascape for the pampering you so richly deserve (781)545-1200.

another Girl's Night Out

 

The first Friday of every month Spascape Day Spa has a Girl's Night Out and you can believe me when I say this is something you'll want to take advantage of.

We call it a Girl's Night Out because it is a lovely opportunity to be social if you wish - there are light refreshments served in out gorgeous harbor-view relaxation lounge.  But if you choose to come alone it is the perfect opportunity to indulge in all things girly ie. multiple mini services at reduced prices.   At Spascape Girl's Night you can have it all - express-pedi, express-massage, express-facial - without breaking the bank.  We can even squeak in a quick brow wax if you wish.

The spa has been so busy lately (what recession !?!) that I would recommend calling ASAP to book your Girl's Night appointments.  Remember it's this Friday November 5th so coordinate your calendars with your mom, your sis, your bff, your colleagues,  and choose your services.  Express manicure is only $15, express pedicure only $30, express massage is only $40, and an express facial is only $40.  Fun! Fun! Fun!

Some of Spascape's super-star technicians will be on hand to ensure that you get the best treatments possible and Deb Larson, our spa owner and fearless leader will be there too.  She likes to hang out in the reception area and chat with everyone so if you have any questions about anything spa related now would be a good time to hit her up - she is like the Oprah of the South Shore spa scene.

So remember, call soon (the mani and pedi appointments book up especially fast) and we will look forward to seeing you this Friday!  (781)545-1200.

 

Pinehills VIP party

 

   

The party was only supposed to go until 8 pm but when I left at 8:30 it was still going strong. Everyone was having genuine fun at our Spascape Day Spa Pinehills Grand Opening VIP recption and that is all thanks to our spa owner and fearless leader Deb Larson.  Deb is my shero.  She has once again succeeded in putting together a warm, welcoming, almost family-like environment in which we can all relax and be our best selves.  It was an event where professionals, neighbors, and even the bigwigs mixed and
mingled without pretension.  Again, that is a reflection of Deb and her spas:  momentous yet down-to-earth,  and beee-u-tee-ful.  Yes the new Pinehills Spascape is  absolutely gorgeous - and I wouldn't expect anything less from Deb.

When you first walk in the spa's charming French doors you feel like you are on vacation in a luxury resort.  The expansive retail boutique lures you in with it's abundance of glorious goodies.  There are piles of adorable Big Buddha vegan handbags, sumptuous robes and lounge-wear, and the bling of jewelry sparkles at you from virtually every surface.  Of course there are also shelves and shelves of professional skincare and body care that represent Spascape's focus of earth meet sea.  But when you come in a little further and look beyond the  the glitz and glam you can see that the spa is serious about providing serenity and relaxation.  

 Everything is painted in a smooth, comforting sand color that makes you feel cocooned in warmth.  The esthetic beds are the cushiest I've ever felt and the massage rooms are big enough for you to get a side-by-side couple's massage in.  It all makes you go "Aaaaahhhhh."  But I digress, let's get back to the party...... 

There were tons of freebies.  I walked away with free nail polish, lip gloss, exoliators and moisturizers.  The various brand reps were there to talk to the guests about their products:  the awesome GM Collin skincare and Jane Iredale cosmetics were even touting the new products to be launched this Fall - a special sneak preview for all the loyal Spascape fans.  And Cristin, my skincare guru from Environ Skincare, was there giving free consultations.  Environ makes the most ingenious Vitamin A products on the market and she will also be at Pinehills on Monday and Tuesday if you want to have an in-depth complimentary skincare consultation with her.  Environ is THE way to go for any anti-aging concerns and Cristin knows everything about skin, even the most scientific detail there is.

Also on hand were various technicians from the Spascape team.  Many of your favorite estheticians and massage therapists from the other Spascape locations will be putting in some hours at the Pinehills spa.  And as well there will be new, highly trained therapists at Pinehills who I am anxious to try (I gotta get a series of microdermabrasion now that the Summer is over).  I had a good long talk with Gereth (see the posting Great Gereth) who has been massaging over-time at the Scituate spa because she is so popular, and she is extremely excited to be working at the new location now too.  And you know that just says it all - we are, all of, us extremely excited to be a part of Pinehills. 

I know, I know, it sounds like a party you hate to have missed.  But fear not, we are having another Pinehills event this Sunday October 3rd.  It will be an open house from 3-5 pm where there will also be freebies, brand reps, and Spascape team members to check out.  Feel free to swing by and say hi or if you have any questions you can call us at (781) 545-1200.

Pinehills grand opening

October is an important month for Spascape Day Spa.  It marks our three year anniversary and boy has it been a phenomenal three years!  In that time we have opened two locations in addition to our Scituate spa - one business in Dr. Delia's office in Duxbury, and one charming little spa in Mattapoisett.  And that is not all....we have also won numerous awards each year including the Best of Boston and Reader's Choice.  Why just the other day I counted twenty award plaques on the walls of our reception area! 

Considering October marks three years of success for us, it is significant that we will be opening a brand new fourth location at the beginning of the month.  On Friday October 1 we will be holding a VIP GRAND OPENING reception in our new Pinehills spa in Plymouth.  If you feel that you might be a VIP (and don't worry this is not a snooty spa) call Spascape to RSVP (781)545-1200.  The new spa is located at One Village Green North, Pinehills, Plymouth and the event will be held from 6-8 pm.  It will be a wonderful opportunity to meet the staff there, as well as representatives from the major skin care and body care brands that we carry.  Get complimentary consultations and smooze with the pros!  The local politicians, media, and neighborhood residents will be there and we would be thrilled to have you join the crowd too - the more the merrier!

If for some reason you can't make our VIP event, there will also be an OPEN HOUSE for the general public on Sunday October 3rd from 3-5pm.  We would love to have you come in so we can meet our new neighbors (and vice-versa, this new Spascape is not to be missed!)

Not only is the new spa absolutely stunning but our owner, founder, and creator Deb Larson has spent months customizing the construction of this site so that the space gives optimal support and comfort to our technicians as well as our clients.  Additionally, she has researched in depth various product lines to carry in the new retail boutique because our Pinehills Spascape has an expansive boutique that will just blow you away.  Think abundance!  Think healing!  Think luxury!  Think whimsy!  It is all that and more!  Not only will we carry clinical skincare and health and wellness products but we will also carry gift items that would make a perfectly thoughtful gift for someone you care about - or even for yourself.  To a shopaholic product-junkie like myself this new spa is Nirvana!

And our Spascape earth-meets-sea concept will be readily apparent here as well.  Not only in the cornucopia of products we will sell but in the treatments we will offer as well.  For example there will be a new earth-meets-sea aromatherapy body wrap on the menu that will be taylored specifically to each season.  The varying formulas are created exclusively for Spascape by a local licensed esthetician, aromatherapist, and healer.  As with all our other locations, Pinehills will offer excellence in service from our highly trained and informed professionals.

In fact there is just so much to love about the Pinehills spa that I am sure you will be hearing plenty more about it from me in the future.  And we certainly hope to see you at either the VIP GRAND OPENING RECEPTION October 1, or the OPEN HOUSE October 3.  Don't forget to RSVP!  (781) 545-1200

First Fridays are back!

 Now that Autumn is once again upon us Spascape Day Spa is reinstating their First Friday events.  The first Friday of every month, from 4-8 pm, we will be offering mini services at discounted prices.  The featured specials vary a little from month to month but the value is always excellent.  Our featured special for the first Friday of October 1 is a 30 minute massage and thirty minute facial package for only $80.  That's a savings of $20!   And what a perfect - and affordable - way to sample several of our services in one visit.  Personally, I hate having to choose between my favorite treatments when I visit the spa.  But on First Fridays there is none of my usual dithering:  "Well, I had a facial last time so maybe I should get a massage this time, but what about a mani-pedi....my feet are looking a little ragged......oh I just can't decide!"  I can come to First Friday and get them all without breaking the bank!  It's the ultimate opportunity to indulge.

Many of our clients use this event to gather with friends as a girl's night out. They meet and mingle in our harbor-view relaxation lounge where light refreshments are served. They come and go to their various services, often touching base with each other in between.  If this idea appeals to you, don't forget that at any time you can also book your own private party here at Spascape.  Our parties are invariably a hit with women of all ages - we even do princess parties for young girls.   Frequently it's the littlest ones that have the most fun and it is always a joy to help them, after all what is cuter than painting a bunch of teeny tiny nails hot pink?

As you can imagine, there are a limited amount of appointments available for these First Friday evenings and they book up fast, so be sure to call and reserve your space today (781)545-1200

And while you're marking First Friday October 1 in your calendar don't forget to add our Stella & Dot Jewelry Trunk Show this Thursday, September 23 @ 7pm.  There will be an abundance of gorgeous jewelry at reasonable prices.  For more info see blog posting Stella & Dot Jewelry Trunk Show.

Stella & Dot jewelry trunk show

 When I think of Stella & Dot Jewelry one word comes to mind:  panache.  

Ok, I lied - more than one word comes to mind.  I also think: flair, style, fun, modern, and chic.  Stella & Dot jewelry is very now.  You will find it discussed on tv shows like "Oprah' and "The View", and written up in magazines like "People" and "InStyle".  So you can see why I am so delighted that Spascape Day Spa will be hosting a Stella & Dot trunk show on Thursday, September 23 at 7 pm.  Stella & Dot stylist Meus Kaveny will be on hand to give you the personal, attentive service that S&D is known for, and the very latest Fall fashions will be featured.

If you don't know anything about Stella & Dot, the first thing I should tell you is that they make very pretty quality costume jewelry at very reasonable prices. With this economy I plan on jazzing up last year's Fall clothing with a couple sensational Stella & Dot pieces.  It's the perfect way to bring new life to tired outfits.  

Another thing you might want to know about Stella & Dot is that they have a range of styles for a variety of personal tastes.  In fact they have divided up their jewelry into several different collections.  There is Metro Chic, Vintage Luxe, La Coco Concept, Day to Night, and Under $50, to name a few.  Personally, I tend to be rather trendy so I am favoring their multiple-strand chain necklaces and the gorgeous chunky cocktail rings but if your tastes run to the more classic you will love the Chanel-inspired pearl necklaces and time-honored brooches.  

But be forewarned, you will not be able to dash out to your nearest Macy's to find such contemporary jewelry.  Stella & Dot is only available through their designated stylists and the best way to see it is at scheduled trunk shows.  So save the date, Thursday Spetember 23 @ 7 pm, to come into Spascape and peruse the expansive selection of Stella & Dot jewelry.  It is sure to be a treat!  (781) 545-1200

glam-on-the-go

  Spascape Day Spa is proud to offer you the latest services of Sandra G., gal-on-the-go and makeup artist extraordinaire.  Now Sandra will travel anywhere from the North Shore to the Cape to come to you for your special events makeup, nails, and lash extension application.

Sandra is a licensed esthetician, nail-tech, and makeup artist who has already been with us for many months and has done numerous successful wedding parties.  In addition to Spascape, Sandra is a free-lance makeup artist for M.A.C. Cosmetics so she is truly well-versed in the world of makeup.  In fact she has done more than the requisite training and even to this day continues her specialty trainings.  She knows all the tips and tricks of how to engineer it so that your makeup lasts throughout your entire special event and she is skilled at shading, highlighting, camouflaging and more. 

 Sandra did a quick "face" on me the other day and she magically made my squinty eyes appear open and wide, and she miraculously diminished my chronic under-eye dark circles.  My eyes just "popped" and she did it all so seemingly effortlessly.  That girl is truly talented!  When I asked her the secret to her success she replied "Blending.....it's all about the blending." ( I'm going to remember that little gem when I do my own makeup at home!). Sandra also did my nails that same week and I have to say that the manicure I got from her lasted longer than any manicure I've ever had - and I am tough on my nails!

As for the lash extensions, they are the perfect solution for special event make up.  With our Novalash extensions you can enjoy gracefully curled, mascara-free, no smudge/no clump lashes for up to four weeks.  Sandra has been specially trained to apply Novalash to give you natural-looking, longer, thicker lashes that are totally waterproof.  I think I'm going to try them just for fun! 

Don't you think it's amazing that Spascape is able to offer such flexible, glam-on-the go services and that Sandra is willing and able to travel so far!?!  It is really worth having these things done by a professional and is definitely something that you will want to take advantage of - just be sure to book her a minimum of two weeks in advance (781) 545-1200.

Labor Day & new Fall hours

 As Summer comes to a close it's time to rally 'round the grill and ice down the beverages for one last hoorah with family and friends.  And in case you were wondering, Spascape Day Spa, will be closed on Labor Day, Monday September 6th, so that we may celebrate all our hard work this year.  We sincerely hope you will be doing the same and will enjoy a safe and happy holiday!

But how did Labor Day get here so quickly?!?

I always hate to see Summer go yet at the same time I can't help but be excited for Fall.  I just think Fall is sexy don't you?  Winter is cozy, Spring is hopeful, Summer is laid-back, but Fall.....Fall is sexy.  There's the crisp Fall air, the sensual Fall colors and fragrances, the fun Fall fashions.   It's time to start gearing up and hunkering down, anticipating.  Fall is all about transition too:  the switching of wardrobes, skincare regimens, even the foods we eat.  And, always one to keep au courant, Spascape is now transitioning to their new Fall/Winter hours.  

The new Fall/Winter hours are:

Sunday 10am-5pm

Monday 10am-5pm

Tuesday CLOSED

Wednesday 10am-8pm

Thursday 10am-8pm

Friday 10am-7pm

Saturday 9am-5pm

You may have noticed that Tuesdays we are closed to the general public but that day may still be reserved to book your special event or private party.   Otherwise the staff will be using Tuesdays for education and trainings - never a dull moment around here!

You also may have noticed that we are open more evenings now as well.  We will be sticking around until after our 8 pm clients have left pampered and pleased.  So call today to schedule an appointment during our new (sexy) Fall evening hours.  (781) 545-1200

Vibrant Wellness

 I am so excited about the new direction that Deb Larson is taking Spascape Day Spa.  She is expanding, expanding, expanding (isn't life grand?) and it's all about health and wellness, education and solutions! She has a real knack for knowing who and what to bring on board. Her latest innovation is to add a Vibrant Wellness Workshop that is all about our relationship with ourselves and food.  Fantastic!  I know very few fortunate individuals for whom food and eating is not an issue.  

The workshop will have once-a-month classes lead by Holistic Health Coach Christina Kilduff BA, MA, who studied at the Institute for Integrative Nutrition.  Her whole approach is about attainable and sustainable eating through mindfulness, and she coaches from a place of empathy not ego.  Christina originally comes from trenches of unsustainable restrictive dieting, fluctuating weight, low energy, and food cravings.  She's been there, done that.  But through education and introspection her journey has taken her to a place of inner peace and a sense of purpose and mindfulness in every day living.  And now she is here to help you achieve more vibrant wellness in your life too.

The workshop outline sounds fascinating and I suspect you'll be seeing me at most of the classes.  Here's a sneak peak of what's being offered:

September 21 Vibrant Greens:  learn about the various leafy green vegetables and incorporate them into your diet.

October 19 Sugar Blues:  how sugar negatively affects health and happiness.  Learn how to help cravings without deprivation.

November 16 Moody Food!:  how food directly effects your mood

December 21 Mindful Eating:  learn strategies to slow down for increased energy and weight loss

January 18 New Year NEW YOU!  Vibrant Energy!:  identify factors that contribute to our vibrant energy and the important role of "primary foods".

Now doesn't that sound exciting!?!  Feel free to call us with any questions or to sign up for the classes you are interested in (781) 545-1200.
