How To Make Your Perfect Mani & Pedi Last Longer

We love our colors, from rose pink to ocean blue, and can't wait to get that mani & pedi done. But have you ever been in a situation where you get so excited to have your perfect polish on, only to get home and discover that your perfect nails are, well...? I know I have. Thus, I decided to get some tips from our therapist, Mina, on how to keep our nails last longer.

Let It Dry

Did you know that it can take up to 12 hours for the nail polish to fully dry? Remember that getting your nails done means pampering yourself, so take your time and relax. We are not suggesting that you should spend all day at the spa (although it’s not a bad idea), but try to schedule a reasonable amount of time so you don’t have to rush out the door and ruin your new nails in five minutes.

Keep It Cool

Heat slows down the polish hardening process. Avoid jumping into a hot tub, sauna, hot yoga class or steaming shower right after you get your nails done. Another hazard to avoid during that 12-hour window – the pool. We know you are eager to show off your pretty nails, but chlorine weakens the polish, add that concrete bottom and your fresh pedi is in danger.

Avoid Shoes

If you forget to bring your own open-toed shoes, do wear those disposable foam flip-flops we give you. You are allowed to look a little silly for the sake of having gorgeous nails.

Top It Off

The average top coat starts to wear off in 48-72 hours. Reapply a clear topcoat every other day, giving an extra swipe across the tip of the nail. 

Gel Mani?

If you get gel mani, you can forget all of the above. Gel nail polish is cured using a U.V. light, so it dries completely before you leave our spa – plus it will stay chip-free for 2-3 weeks.

Pamper Your Skin

Getting your nails done is not just about the polish – let’s not forget about the soaking, scrapping, trimming and buffing that makes us say “Ahh”. It’s best to maintain your skin at home – use a pumice stone regularly in the shower to remove dead skin and apply lotion right after bathing to seal in moisture.

Foot Care Products 

Next time you’re getting your nails done ask Mina about our new professional foot care line with natural essential oils that will help the skin regain its natural softness, smoothness and elasticity. These products are made with the highest quality natural ingredients that are designed to tackle every foot issue you might encounter from dry or hard skin to ingrown nails and stressed feet.

Introducing Radiance Spa Membership

Our busy lives are filled with responsibilities – work, family, parents, school to name just a few. Multitasking has been the word of this decade. We've gotten impressively efficient at juggling multiple responsibilities, but at what cost? While solving others’ problems often times we find ourselves lacking time to take care of ourselves, our health and well-being. We frequently hear from our clients that they are so used to thinking of "what's next" that even when they come to the spa it takes a while to slow down and relax.

At Radiance we always emphasize mind-body-spirit connection. You have to take care of yourself first in order to be able to help others. This holistic view goes back to the ancient civilizations. Perhaps we need to be reminded of the importance of investing in both physical and emotional well-being as this ultimately helps in preventing various illnesses. In support of this holistic approach we are excited to introduce Spa Membership to make it easier and more accessible to take care of your personal well-being.

Radiance Spa Members will enjoy restoring one-hour Swedish massage or Signature facial at one low price of $55 per month. In addition, members will be able to have additional massages, facials and body treatments at a reduced price during the week and receive discounts on retail products. Whether you need to relax and recharge or work with our therapist on a particular problem area, this is a pathway to advance your health regimen and achieve your personal best.

All of our guests have the luxury of time once they step through our door. Enjoy our spa therapies, de-stress in the relaxation lounge and just relax. We work with efficient and results-oriented professional product lines, such as Natura Bisse, Hylunia, PCA and others. Our therapies include essential aromatherapy oils. Spa is no longer an indulgence of the rich and famous, it can and should be an inclusive part of your health and wellness routine. We encourage you to make balanced wellness part of your life. For questions please call (215) 343-0350 ext. 6 or stop by at our spa.

Celebrating Spring & Mothers this May

After all this rain Spring is finally here. This month we celebrate Mother's Day on May 11th. While we appreciate our mothers all the time, we might not always show it as we get wrapped up into our daily lives and all of its problems. We hope that this month you can slow down and focus on the woman that is so important in each of our lives - your mom, wife, perhaps aunt or someone who has always had a special place in your heart. Thus, our May Specials are filled with care, love and attention.

Alternative to Acrylic Nails

For years acrylic nails have been the answer for anyone who has longed for well-manicured hands. As you know, times change, technology evolves and healthier alternatives appear in the market. Finally, we are happy to introduce a substitute to the acrylics - ANC manicure, also called “Dip Powder manicure”, which gives you the same beautiful look without the odor, UV light and other bells and whistles that come with acrylic nails.

Dip Powder Manicure is odorless, gentle for your nail bed, light weight, flexible, durable and healthy for your nails due to added Calcium and Vitamin E.

Of course, we did not believe it until we tried it for ourselves. We asked one of our clients, Maryann, to test the product and let us know her thoughts. Maryann is a business woman and she has been getting acrylic nails for over 10 years. I interviewed her at Radiance Spa when she was getting her manicure done. By then, she has had ANC nails for about two months. Here is what Maryann shared with me when I asked her opinion about this new technology:

“It’s wonderful! It lasts longer, has no odor to it. I think it’s easier on your nails and it doesn’t seem that it “lifts” like acrylic. I would never go back to doing acrylic again and I’m picky about my nails. It dries by air, no UV light needed and the lines are perfect!”

By now we are convinced that Dip Powder manicure is worth testing and we encourage you to try it for yourself. You don’t have to remove the acrylic base. Our technician works with your existing base and creates beautiful, natural look that is much healthier for your body, safe for our environment and will not break your wallet (only $30). Radiance is one of the first spas in the area to offer this professional manicure that is a wonderful healthier alternative to acrylic nails. Stop by and see it in your own eyes. You will not be disappointed.

Video from Maryann’s session from start to finish.

Busy Spa Party

We wanted to share with you a few captured moments from our Spa Party last Friday. It was a busy evening, indeed. Ladies enjoyed relaxing massages and facials. Daiva introduced her new microneedling machine – DermaPen. Her wonderful model allowed us to watch DermaPen treatment and we got to see how it works from up-close. Then we continued with a fun event “What’s in your purse?” Our make-up artist, Amy, examined cosmetic bags of our guests, shared her tips on make-up application and even gave a make-up lesson to some of our guests. Reiki master, Heather, discussed energy healing. Thank you all for participating! 

See you at our next spa party at the end of the month. Shine the light!

New Services in Make-up

As we have said in previous blogs and posts we want to offer our clients the best services possible.  To that end we have added a new employee- Amy DeSimone!  Her motto is “Creating beautiful faces with a personal approach to individual style.”

Amy began her professional career in makeup artistry three years ago after completing the JAM makeup and airbrush certification courses at Jean Madeline Aveda Institute in Philadelphia. Since her training Amy has been working as a successful on-location bridal, boudoir, runway, and sfx makeup artist in PA and NY. Her work has been published in several artist based magazines and continues to grace the runway at fashion shows such as Fashion 4 Development and Mercedes Benz NY Fashion Week as a Beautybyrudy (www.beautybyrudy.com) team member for designers Malan Breton and Zang Toi.

“I absolutely love what I do and I believe that makes all the difference in the world”.

It was at a bridal trial, with a client who had many questions about her skin and what she could do to “fix” certain problems she was experiencing, when Amy decided that she needed to go above and beyond with her career to ensure she was not only creating beautiful faces but also healthy skin for everyone who sat in her chair. This desire to not only help her clients look their very best, but to make sure their skin health was also being addressed and maintained, led her to return to Jean Madeline Aveda Institute to obtain her diploma in Esthiology.

“I am very lucky to be able to say I love my job because not many people have that luxury. Thank you so much to Daiva, and everyone at Radiance Spa, for inviting me to join their amazing family; I look forward to being your Makeup Artist and Esthetician!”

Follow her on Instagram at @AmyD_Beauty, but book her through Radiance Spa.

So remember Radiance Spa for all your wedding, prom, and formal occasions!  Grab a massage, steam, nails and makeup all prior to your special event.  Contact Radiance Spa for more information info @ radiance-spa.com, or call 215-343-0350 ext. 6

Nail Care during the winter months

Winter is the perfect time to play with nail polishes, but it is also a necessity to give our nails a little more care than you would during the summer months.  Extra washing, antibacterial cleansers, and dry heat can all effect the condition of your nails.

Tips from the Pros:

Exfoliate- Paraffin, sugar scrubs and our special scrubs are all wonderful ways to help your skin start to regenerate itself. Feet kept in our socks can be prone to increased calluses.  We have some wonderful treatments to keep your feet smooth and callus free. 

Moisturize- After you have exfoliated you need to put the moisture back into your skin.  Drink more (water), and try to use a moisturizer with shea butter.

Protect- If you like me are already prone to dry cuticles and nails that peel.  You need a little more protection for your nails than just moisturizer.  Your nails and cuticles need to be protected and treated.  Radiance Spa has a wonderful product Duri Rejuvacoat that will protect weak nails and allows them to grow. Our Gel Polish is also great for helping nails to grow since it lasts so long- most people do not see chips for 10-14 days!

Already suffering from winter weather nail blues?

Hang Nails?  Don't pick or bite it out, instead wait if possible and then using nail clippers trim to the base of the hang nail and then use some disinfectant.

Clipped polish?  Instead of removing all of the polish, just paint the chipped area and then soak a cotton ball or q-tip in nail polish remover and lightly run it over the line between the old and new polish.  Coat with a clear coat of polish.

Derma-Pen, skin never had it this good!

At Radiance Spa we are constantly looking for ways to improve our services and provide the best possible techniques and devices.  Last year when we opened we had services using Micro-needling.  Micro-needling has advanced and so have our techniques.  If you have acne scars, burns, sagging skin, fine lines and wrinkles- our new Derma-Pen may be the answer.

How does it work? Unlike the roller Micro-needles that roll, those curved needles go in at an angle, the Derma Pen goes in straight up and down.  The needles we use are smaller and can be used on any portion of your face or other body areas that need help.  These small needles penetrating the skin help to stimulate collagen production, as well as your bodies natural healing ability.  We use the professional model with disposable needles to ensure the best possible results.

The best results can be seen when the client combines topical treatments with the Derma-pen.  For most skin issues we recommend 4-6 treatments.  Each treatment at Radiance Spa is $150 or 6 treatments for $750.

Below is an example of the healing that can happen with Derma-pen treatments.

 A report by CBS 3 is below.

This treatment may be the perfect way to use your gift card from Radiance Spa.  If you are preparing for a special event, perhaps your wedding or you want to make it a special event.  You should contact Daiva at Radiance Spa for a consultation.  Call 215-343-0350 ext. 6.
