Answers to your questions about massage

Other

Whether get a massage every week or have never had one, you probably have questions about the service. We took the three questions we get most often and asked Robert Crane, our licensed massage therapist, for answers.

1. I’ve never had a hot stone massage, what’s the difference and why would I choose it over a normal massage?

A hot stone massage uses stones heated in a stone warmer to warm and relax, tight and sore muscles. If you are looking for a way to relax on a cold day a hot stone massage may be just what you’re looking for.

#2 I get migraines all the time, why does this happen and will massage fix it?

Migraines are caused by different things for different people. If you suffer from frequent migraines you should first seek the help of a physician to try and find out what triggers your migraines. If you have a migraine a skilled massage therapist may be able to help, but there is no guarantee with migraines.

#3 I wake up and my arms are asleep. Why does this happen and will massage cure it?

It could be caused by a condition called thoracic outlet, skilled massage can help to alleviate this condition. It’s always best to start with a visit to your physician though, to be sure that there isn’t anything more serious going on.

Tip of the Week

Other

One question we hear over and over again from clients is, “Im trying to grow my hair long, how often should I get my hair cut?” Here’s our answer: When growing your hair out from a short style, we suggest getting a trim every 6-8 weeks. Once your hair reaches shoulder-length, you can wait 8-12 weeks between trims.

All About Extensions

Trends

We get a lot of questions from customers about extensions. Not surprising given how popular they have become in recent years. Extensions come in a lot of price ranges but we strongly recommend that people choose high-quality products like Great Lengths Extensions, which are 100% human hair. Unlike synthetic extensions, natural options can be blow dried, curled, and flat ironed just like your own real hair.

A customer recently told us she had heard extensions can make your hair fall out. Unfortunately, there are horror stories from people who’ve used cheap DIY products. Applied properly, however, Great Lengths Extensions will actually help the health of your hair. A trained stylist can ensure that each head of extensions matches the density of the client’s own hair so it does not cause damage. The extensions can also protect a client’s hair from rain and other elements, allowing the natural hair to grow and become more healthy. Extensions are a positive, life changing experience for anyone needing more length, fullness or style for a special event.

Extensions are also a great solution for people who like to keep a head of trendy-colored hair. Another client recently complained that many of the dyes she uses for high-fashion hair colors fade very fast. In her case, colored extensions are a perfect solution; they are actually healthier than dyes because they don’t require pre-lightening of the hair before use. Also, the color will not fade for the life of the extensions and you get to pick the exact hue you want before application so you’ll never be disappointed in the color.

If you want to give extensions a try, contact our Julie McClish, who specializes in Great Lengths Extensions. To make an appointment with Julie, call the salon at 515.222.0200.
