How to Makeover Your Perth Man…

Sonia Archer — Sat, 13 Feb 2010 09:30:00 +0000

Is Your man in desperate need of a makeover?

Whether they’re wearing suits that are a size or two too large, they have a really bad haircut or they wear socks with sandals (nooooo!), you can see the hipness just under the surface.

So how to make over your guy?

If he’s the sensitive sort, I believe in the subtle approach: buy him a great pair of jeans or a bag full of men’s grooming products or suggest he try out your stylist at your salon instead of his regular barber. Point out hairstyles you like on famous guys and tell him, “Oh you would look hot in that haircut!”

As women do, men also respond to flattery, so let me tell what to do…

This also works with jeans, “Honey, your butt would look great in these,” and getting them to wear a smaller size suit, “You have a great body but it’s lost in your suit.”

Here are some of my favorite tips I’ve learned over the years..

I love a few from GQ’s 25 style rules to live by:

According to GQ, 3-button suits are out, and 2-buttons are in.
Short sleeve dress suits with a tie are an absolute no-no.
Thin ties are more modern than fat ties.
Many guys wear their suits a size or two too large. Find out if yours is.
If your guy suffers from nicks and cuts when shaving, GQ suggests you encourage him to shave in the shower. The water and steam will soften his face. Once he’s finished shaving, he should skip the cheapie aftershaves which are full of alcohol and fragrances and try a balm.
Men can be super self-conscious about hair loss. If your guy is sporting a bologna patch (the round, bald spot at the back of the head), or is making sad attempts at comb-overs, he’s got some options. Some men find success in hair plugs (think Jude Law & Matthew McConaughey!), but I prefer a simple, number one or shaved head, which is super sexy.
Personally, I’m not a fan of men shaving or waxing their chest hair, I have no problem with a hairy chest but I do have a problem with a sandpaper chest. If your dude hates his man fluff or wants to tame it for the beach, suggest he trim it with a hair trimmer.

So if you’d like us to help, this special might just kickstart your wish… Man Makeover package…

Best Facial Scrubs, Valentines Day & More?

Sonia Archer — Sat, 13 Feb 2010 07:42:04 +0000

Valentine’s Day is around the corner, have you exfoliated yet?

Flaky, dead skin is a turn-off and since you will likely be nose-to-nose with someone very soon, perhaps you should try one of my favorite facial scrubs? Also, don’t miss Jessica Alba’s new ‘do, which she showed off yesterday at the “Valentine’s Day” premiere. I love it, do you? Lastly, get your guy to makeover his dated look. Find out how….

There’s no better feeling than freshly scrubbed and moisturized skin.

An important part of your weekly skin routine is exfoliation and you can use facial scrubs, microdermabrasion kits or peels. Peels work to brighten skin by removing dead skin cells with lactic (milk) or citric (juice) acids. Scrubs work to manually remove dead skin. I like to use both, switching between the two every few weeks. Always make sure to follow with moisturizer after exfoliation.

Skin Hydration Tips for a Healthy Glow…

Does drinking 7 glasses of water a day keep my skin moist?

Apart from my Mum always telling me to drink lots of water, I remember reading this for the first time in Woman’s Day Magazine and being despondent because I found drinking water to be the world’s most boring thing. I preferred orange juice, Coke and hot chocolate.

So is it true that you need seven glasses of water a day to keep skin moist and dewy?

Answer: No. Despite years of having this drummed into our heads, this is not true. It is good to keep your body, including your skin, hydrated, however the outermost layer of skin does not absorb water since it is made up of dead skin cells. Moisture level of skin is not determined by internal factors, but rather external ones, such as cold or hot air, dry heat and by the number of oil-producing glands you have. So if you want to hydrate your skin, exfoliate it weekly with a sea-salt scrub or other exfoliator to remove dead skin then apply a rich moisturizer while skin is still damp. Want to hydrate your insides then by all means, drink your 7 glasses of water a day.

Gift Voucher Expiry Dates???

Michael Curtis — Wed, 16 Dec 2009 00:29:46 +0000

Blush Gifts Never Expire!

If you like me and and always looking for an easy solution to getting a loved one a gift for Christmas or any occasion for that matter. A Gift Certificate, Card or Voucher is always a safe bet and a little more sincere than money in a card, don’t you agree?

But, do you ever wonder whether you’ve just wasted your hard earned cash???

Months later, well after the special occasion has been almost forgotten, do you worry the gift actually hasn’t been used or redeemed. Or even worse did it expire??? Major retailers like David Jones have a 24 month expiry date, but many smaller retailers have a 6 or 12 month expiry date…

Personally I’ve never understood the mentality of an expiry date.

Let’s face it the business has already been paid for services or products in advance. If there is any price increases, surely the company can absorb this even a year or so later.

At Blush our Gift Certicates NEVER, EVER Expire…

And that brings me to why our Gift Certificates NEVER expire. A Day Spa Gift Voucher, more than any other Gift Voucher, has a sincere connotation that you really care about the person receiving the gift. And YOU understand that in this crazy spinning world, we all need to just get off and stop for a moment or too. What better way to do it the a luxurious, indulgent and pampering Spa Package at Blush. We’re trying to win new clients over, not loose them before they come in the door and that’s why our vouchers NEVER expire.

“Any Perth Woman Can Look Like a Hollywood Star…”

Dear Frustrated Celebrity…

You know how upsetting it is for many ladies who sometimes spend hours of time and hard-earned cash at the salon, only to have the therapist or stylist give you the cut and colour THEY want, rather than give you the style you want? Well, it’s time ladies fought back – and now you can, with our gold-plated, guaranteed-to-impress Hollywood Woman…Red Carpet Look!

See how the Blush Stylist team transformed Joanna to achieve her Marilyn Monroe look:

In Joanna’s words…
Upon my very first visit to Blush , I was treated like a VIP customer & received the utmost respect & high quality professionalism that immediately put me at ease & made me feel like a valued regular. I honestly felt like the establishment had been privately booked out just for me for the day, as I was never in a room with more than one other person, whether it be the hair salon or the make up chair or the mani/pedi throne. It was on par with any New York Day Spa that I’d been to, fancy that? Right here in Perth, where we are so very isolated from the rest of the world…that’s the perfect vibe for a day spa…isolation (from all our daily stress)

So, yes…I’m a self confessed “SPA SNOB” who has now added BLUSH to the top of my list.

WOW, now thats a recommendation, don’t you agree???…it’s always our pleasure Joanna and you look absolutely stunning.

Day Spa Pampering for Men in Perth

Michael Curtis — Thu, 22 Oct 2009 00:15:50 +0000

From Chef’s to Big Tough Miners (FIFO), Men are getting pampered all over Perth…

With almost 20% of our 15,000 clients a year being are men, it’s no wonder businesses like ours are training our staff to be very receptive to our male clients. Lets face it, this female dominated domain still comes with prejudices and stigmas in many salon across the country…

So let me explain how we’re different…

At Blush it’s not by luck that so many of our clients were male. Although we’ve never really targeted men specifically we’ve always made men feel really comfortable and welcome at Blush. Just last year, 57% of our male clients had a spa treatment, e.g. spa package, massage, facial or sports pedicure etc., the other 43% purchased a gift for their partner or family members, friends etc. most of our spa packages are suitable for men or women.

Although men only make up a small % of clients the numbers are certainly growing…

Couples packages are becoming a real favourite… It’s something you can definately do with your partner and although most Male clients come to Blush for the first time are a little apprehensive, the moment they walk in the door all there concerns are taken away. Our warm and friendly staff always ensure our male clients are very well looked after.

Look at what some of our male clients are saying…

You can’t pin point the best part, the whole experience is amazing. You come out and feel like a “NEW MAN”. Thanks for a great evening, I’ll see you again soon….

Josh Catalano, Thornlie, WA (Chill Out Spa Package)

Relaxing massage & friendly staff. For a normally, on the go highly stressed life, it was absolutely fantastic to completely relax. Almost fell asleep, I was that relaxed. VERY PROFESSIONAL – THE SMALL TOUCHES COMPLETE THE EXPERIENCE.

Tony Pragnell, Canning Vale ,WA (The Dux Platinum Spa package)

The sincerity of the therapsit!! I could feel that she cared for my comfort and well being!! My therapist made sure I was relaxed as possible which made the experience memorable!I seemed to have drifted off to a 5 Star resort. Best experience in WA!! BLUSH WILL ALWAYS BE FIRST & LAST STOP IN WA – WELL DONE!!

Stephen Mangro, Greenwith, SA (Delightful Disconnection)

Relaxing approach by Blush staff, who made me feel comfortable with the whole experience. Being NEW to this I was a bit sceptical, however I have been converted. I have NEVER felt SO RELAXED at any time before. Sharing the treatment with my wife made the whole thing special. 10/10

Shaun Smith, Secret Harbour, WA (Platinum Spa Package)

Reflexology, Soul Therapy…

Michael Curtis — Sun, 27 Sep 2009 03:46:37 +0000

How much better do you want to feel???

My own interest and passion of reflexology was aroused in my late teens over 25 years ago whist in the Army (IRAR) on my first active tour of duty in Malaysia and Thailand. For anyone who has travelled to Asia or the Sub Continent, you would know how massive this experience is with Reflexology/Foot Massage being offered on just about any street corner.

And guess what???

After years of sampling many treatments myself, I decided I could have a crack myself. So I did some research and signed up with one of Perth’s leading reflexologists and a lovely man named Bert Davis. What I loved about Bert was his simple approach (thus the name of one of his books Reflexology Simplified) and he ran his Reflexology Academy of WA - Diploma Class, out of the Tuart Hill Tafe, which I joined in 2000.

Ever since completing my diploma, I have performed and continue to study reflexology. Although I don’t practice much these day’s I’m still involved with passing my knowledge onto the Blush staff. We’ve even developed our own Reflexology training module here at Blush, which Sonia and I use with all our wonderful staff.

But, before I get ahead of myself, let me explain a little history and how it works…

Reflexology origins are from ancient Egyptian times around 2330BC and made its way to India and China in 2000BC. The process works as a system of communication between the therapist and the client to release blockages and bring about a return to harmony and balance within the clients body. The clients feet (hands or ears) are worked (massaged) in a holistic way on 4 levels simultaneously.

1.Physically – Through a reflex action of stimulus and response – on areas of the feet that reflect parts of the body, by using touch techniques to stimulate blood flow and energy to the body to release any blockages.

2. Mental 3. Emotional & 4. Spiritual – By focusing our attention on underlying patterns of disease, discomfort, disorder or distress, it is possible to bring about permanent changes for the client. Reflexology helps the client to make lifestyle changes for themselves and heal from within, promotes an overall harmony, well being and brings the body back to its own balance.

Let me explain just a few of the benefits of Reflexology…

Non Intrusive…
Promotes internal balance…
Improved circulation…
Reduces stress & tension…
Stimulation of body’s immune system…
A feeling of peace & well being…
Improved sleep…
Its completely drug free – no side effects…
It can help pinpoint areas of stress before they become apparent physiologically
Helps to remove emotional blockages in underlying patterns of being, so that it becomes no longer necessary to manifest disease…

How do we do it at Blush???

We follow the simple techniques and philosophies I’ve learned and include some secret Blush techniques to make the experience very special. We always ensure the client is comfortable, snug and warm. At Blush we like to get the client horizontal to allow the maximum relaxation possible. A tingling sea salt and hot towel treatment to sterilize the feet is performed to start off this very relaxing treatment. Next, we ensure that the both entire feet are worked on with heavenly massage techniques and pressure point moves: such as thumb walking, hook and back up and rotating on a point, thus releasing blockages and giving you an all over feeling of harmony and relaxation. Lastly, we finish off with a double foot massage and a hot towel treatment…and a whole lot more, but you’ll have to make a booking to find it out for yourself.
