Since opening in March, our signature services (The Urban Spa Pedicure and Manicure) have been our most popular services and the Hot Stone massage portion of the treatment is the reason why our clients love them the most! Our Hot Stone hand and foot treatments are performed using basalt stones and Spa Ritual Moisturizing Lotion. We use the stones in place of our classic foot and hand massage techniques for a deep relaxing treatment. Having the Hot Stone treatment is incredibly soothing for tired aching feet or hands that have been typing at a computer all day. Our clients leave feeling light and refreshed. The best part of our Urban Spa Pedicure is that we perform it on our massage table! What’s better then sitting on a massage table that has been precisely angled to make you as comfortable as possible with the added bonus of a heating pad and a glass of fresh fruit water? Very few things!
Not only do we offer the Hot Stones for hands and feet but we also perform full body Hot Stone Massages! A treatment that was introduced to North America in the early 1990’s, hot stone massages are believed to not only relax the body but the spirit as well. With the combination of the hot basalt stones and massage oil, the heat and energy is transferred from the stones and penetrated deep into the muscles to achieve a therapeutic and soothing experience. A Hot Stone treatment can reduce stress, promote calmness and increase relaxation, alleviate pain, improve circulation and help rid the body of toxins. Many clients leave feeling a sense of enlightenment, inner peace or renewed spirituality after a treatment. We take great care in the placement and removal of all the stones. They will never be too hot when placed and will be removed with care particularly along the points of the Chakra.
Did you know we also offer Cold Stone Treatments as well? Our Boreal Relaxation Treatment is performed with the combination of hot towels and cold marble stones. The application of hot towels after the Cold Stones promotes blood circulation. The cold stones help to calm inflammation, help relieve puffiness and dark circles around the eyes, and improve skin tone. It’s also incredible for clients who suffer from sinusitis by reducing congestion and nasal swelling. For those suffering from Anxiety and depression, a cold stone treatment forces the mind to focus on the body and what it is experiencing rather than the mental and stress issues happening in your life. It truly is a refreshing treatment and on these warm summer days, we all want a little refreshment!
Our Hot and Cold Stone treatments can be added to just about any service we offer, starting from just $5 and up. Ask your therapist or Esthetician the next time you are in, we’re always here to help out!
