The URBAN SPA is turning 4!!!!

Peterborough’s Fastest Growing Spa is celebrating 4 outstanding years of service! That’s right, friends — we opened our doors 4 years ago on March 14th, 2013, and look how far we’ve come!

This past year has been our biggest and best year yet!

We were so honoured to have been named Peterborough’s Favourite Spa as voted by YOU for the Peterborough Examiner’s Readers Choice Awards in 2016.

We are so proud to have been a part of so many of your milestones over the last 4 years. You’ve gathered here for Weddings, Bachelorette Parties, Baby Showers, Grads, Proms, even Girl’s Night’s, and we have had a blast making sure your group needs were not only met, but well exceeded.

We feel most loved when you bring your loved-ones along with you to the Spa, whether it be for Mother/Daughter Manicures, Mother/Son Facials or Father/Son Pedicures. Sincere thanks goes out to everyone who has introduced their Besties to us, as well as to all of the Couples who have celebrated Date Nights or Anniversaries of their own with us at the Urban Spa.

Our official Anniversary is on Tuesday, March 14th and we’re inviting our Guests — a.k.a. our extended family — to come and relax with us at the Urban Spa while we shower you with gratitude! We’ve got all kinds of fun thank-you goodies, discounts and special offers in store for you!

But the fun doesn’t stop there!

We’ve decided to extend our Anniversary celebrations to 4 Thank-You filled days!

Here are FOUR ways we’re saying THANK YOU to our Guests between Tuesday, March 14th to Friday, March 17th

1) With all purchases, you get to Spin the Wheel of Prizes (1 per day) for discounts up to 44% off and special offers – including a free 3-month Pedicure Membership at the Urban Spa!

2) Every receipt, whether for services or products at the Urban Spa, will earn you a ballot in 4 Daily Draws to win 4000 Urban Club Points!

3) Celebrating your own Anniversary this week? Prove it for your chance to win one of 4 Couples Themed Prize Packages: Couples Relaxation Massage, Couples Pedicures, Couples Facials or Couples Massage/Facial Combo!

4) This might be obvious, but we at the Urban Spa LOVE surprises. We love them so much that we’re keeping one Big Announcement to ourselves until our Anniversary. Let us hear your best guesses using #ptboFavoriteSpa on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and Pinterest for your chance to win!

7 Top Benefits of Using Jojoba Oil 

While at your favorite Peterborough Spa, you may have noticed Jojoba oil. It is a versatile healing oil and is used in spas in Peterborough and throughout the U.S.

First question – how do you pronounce this word?

Here are seven reasons to use Jojoba oil:

1. Moisturizes skin: When skin is washed, the protective layer of sebum is removed with the dirt. Using Jojoba oil during your next massage therapy in Peterborough will prevent skin from over drying and leave it soft and supple.

2. Controls oily skin: Although it seems counterintuitive to use oil on already-oily skin, rubbing Jojoba oil on skin can surprisingly help reduce oiliness by controlling sebum production.

v2-jojoba-oil-large3. Protects chapped lips: Jojoba oil forms a barrier to effectively lock in moisture. Dabbing a drop of the oil on lips will protect from the excessive cold and wind.

4. Heals dry hands and cracked feet: Hands and feet do not have the sebaceous glands to keep them soft. Applying Jojoba oil to hands and feet daily will help lock in moisture and keep them softer longer. Ask your Peterborough Spa to apply the oil during a manicure or pedicure.

5. Provides relief from skin conditions: Jojoba oil has not only been shown to relieve the dryness and itchiness associated with skin conditions such as eczema and psoriasis, but it also has been proven to provide a protective layer to the skin, reducing the risk of secondary infections. Your massage therapist in Peterborough can discuss the benefits of using Jojoba oil for these conditions.

6. Controls hair loss: Jojoba oil helps control hair loss by allowing follicles to grow new hair. It dissolves sebum buildup and clears of blockage that can cause a slow down of new hair growth.

7. Wards off dandruff: Jojoba oil is naturally rich in zinc and selenium, items commonly used to treat hand-massagedandruff. A few drops of the oil on hair while showering eliminates dandruff and leaves hair healthy and clean.

The Urban Spa in Peterborough understands the importance of using Jojoba oil for soft skin which is why we’ve created a VERY LIMITED seasonal Jojoba Prickly Pear Manicure and Pedicure combination.

And we’re not the only ones to talk about the benefits of Jojoba oil. To see what Beardoholic has to say about it, click here!

9 Awesome Gifts for Fathers Day

Top 10 Gifts for Father’s Day

Any man can be a father, but it takes someone special to be a Dad. Father’s Day presents an opportunity for you to express your love and appreciation for your Dad. If you are looking for some awesome gifts for your Dad, here are some Father’s day gift ideas for the best guy in the world. Get him something that he’ll really love!

1. Spa Pampering

Gift Cards PicOf course this is self-serving of us but The Urban Spa offers an extensive Men’s Menu (aka: Manu) and any father would be thrilled to be pampered at The Urban Spa. If you don’t know what to get for Father’s Day get him a gift card and he can choose his own pampering.

 

 

2. MVMT watches

watchFor the Dapper Dad

Born from a love of the timepiece and the need to eliminate markups by popular brands, meet MVMT — the watch company single handedly revolutionizing the art of the wristwatch. These leather-clad watches offer a minimal design made from high-quality materials that exude fine detailing and premium quality.

 

3. Philips Norelco Vacuum Beard Trimmer

beardFor the Classic Dad

It doesn’t hurt to have a little extra when executing facial trims. A staggering 20 length settings optimized for precision makes this Philips beard trimmer simple and enjoyable to use. A rechargeable battery provides up to one hour of cordless use on a full charge — more than enough time to get even the thickest beard under control.

 

4. Yves Saint Laurent Sport

yves saint laurentFor the Sophisticated Dad

No Drakkar Noir for the old man—get him the good stuff from Yves Saint Laurent. With hints of cardamom and bergamot, Sport is a light yet long-lasting fragrance that’s summer-appropriate. Perfect for the athletic dad who wants to retain a little style at all times.

 

5. Virtual Reality Headset

vrFor the Techie Dad.

A totally immersive digital experience from the comfort of his favorite chair. Because getting up is the last thing Dad wants to do.

 

 

6. Classic Shades

shadesFor a Classic Dad

This is the style that started it all. The original Ray-Ban metal aviator in size 58mm gold with brown gradient and polarized lenses that keep undesirable light from reaching your eyes. Ray-Ban polarized lenses boast a perfectly layered construction of glass and polarized film. The result is a high-performance lens that truly protects your eyes.

 

7. Stylish Loafers

loafersEvery father should have a serious pair of weekend shoes, and the Gilman camp mocs from Rancourt & Co. are pretty much the definition of #weekendvibes. Made by hand from unlined Horween Chromexcel and finished with antique brass eyelets and leather laces, they’re comfy enough for all-day wear both around the house and in town.

 

 

 

8. A Sleek belt

beltWhether your father is the type to wear a suit Monday through Friday or only at weddings and funerals, the handsome dress belt from Portland’s Tanner Goods is hard to argue against. Made in Oregon from Meridian English bridle leather, the double-sided, 1.25″-wide belt is hand sewn and polished off (ahem) with solid brass hardware.

 

 

9. Craft Beer Briefcase

beerLife of the Party Daddy

It’s stylish, functional and oddly reminiscent of the sleek briefcases you’d find Bond transporting on a top-secret mission. But once your dad opens up this gift set from Give Them Beer, he won’t find blocks of cash (as cool as that may be!), but rather a collection of high-end bottled beers from popular breweries across the United States. The set also comes with a stainless steel bottle opener. So go ahead, spoil the old man.

Mother’s Day Gift Card Sale is ON!

It’s that time of the year again where we need to acknowledge our beautiful moms that not only put us on this beautiful planet but also cooked, cleaned, bathed, nurtured and fed us for so many years! Trying to squeeze in all the celebration just that day is difficult and often stressful. It’s a much better idea to grab a gift card and celebrate anytime it’s right for you. Don’t get pulled into those over priced brunches but come, relax and enjoy our spa.

For this week only May 2-9, when you buy a gift card, you will get 20% BONUS, absolutely FREE!

What you do with that bonus is totally up to you. Let me give you an example. Let’s say you buy $300 gift card for you and mom (or wife) to enjoy the spa, you will get a BONUS $60 for FREE that you can enjoy as a little perk any time you want. The bonus gift cards can be redeemed for any hair, esthetics or body treatments (non RMT). As always, you can’t combine this promo with another promo, that’s just fair. The minimum card you can purchase is $50 and the maximum is $1000

Here’s what you need to do next:

  1. Call us 705-741-1212 and tell us how much you would like. We’ll arrange the gift card and have it gift wrapped for you so it’s ready to be gifted.
    or
  2. Email us booknow@urbanspapeterborough.com and tell us how much you would like. We’ll arrange the gift card and have it gift wrapped for you so it’s ready to be gifted.

You can then swing by the spa and you’re all set for Mother’s Day 🙂

P.S. Your bonus gift card will come separately so you can do as you choose with it — you can gift that too or keep that for yourself 😉
