Swedish massage uses a series of elongated, continuous strokes, along with kneading and cupping motions. This type of massage is meant to relax and soothe. The pressure is moderate or medium in terms of how deep your therapist will work the muscles. Clients who prefer a medium to light touch in massage, generally schedule a Swedish massage.

Deep Tissue Massage
Deep Tissue massage is best suited to those who are experienced spa-goers. If you are someone who needs a heavier hand in order to get any benefit out of a massage, you should request a therapist who is very strong. If you enjoy a strong touch, the therapist will use more intense pressure to work deeper into the connective tissue and break down adhesions beneath the skin. Think elbows and forearms used to disperse back tension and wake up tired limbs.

Sports Massage
Sports massage is geared towards someone who is preparing for an athletic event, or recovering from a workout. This type of massage uses faster Swedish strokes meant to invigorate making it ideal 1) before or after an athletic event or exercise regimen, or 2) to treat a specific sore spot or injury. It helps with recovery time after, and aids in preparing the muscles before the event. Strokes may include wringing, squeezing and stretching of the muscles.

Aromatherapy Massage
Aromatherapy massage is the application of pure essential oils that penetrates into the bloodstream and has therapeutic effects on the body. The essential oils can be added into any style of massage (Swedish, Deep Tissue, etc.) and you will take a sensory journey before your session starts. By smelling each of the different blends, you can choose which aromatic blend appeals to you.
The only redness you may encounter is really from the eyebrow wax. If you coupled the brow tint and then had the brows waxed, that's really the only redness you'll notice.
Bikini Waxing
Bikini Wax Preparation: The hair must be between ¼ of an inch and 1/2 of an inch, or long enough to lie down on the skin. It can’t be stubbly or long and puffy. If it is any longer than 1/2 of an inch, please trim the hair.

Brazilian Waxing
NOTE: If you fall within the "in between period" of growing the bikini area longer than six weeks but not as long as three months (which would make it a Virgin Brazilian Wax), the esthetician will determine if your service should be a Maintenance Wax or a Virgin Wax. Most women fall within the Maintenance Wax guidelines.
Back Waxing
**Designed for a back that is covered with thick hair growth that spans a large surface area. This requires the use of the Blue Wax in order to make the service as comfortable as possible. The esthetician will determine if your back will require more time, materials and the use of the Blue Wax to remove all of the hair. If this is your first back wax, you may want to schedule a Virgin Back Wax to ensure there is adequate time to complete the service.
$70
Waxing
Try not to consume any caffeine before the wax service. It may make you more sensitive upon each pull.
After Waxing: Don’t use your shower puff, loofah, or any scrubbing grains for at least 3 days. Avoid self tanner for a week. If you come in contact with direct sunlight, including a tanning booth, please use SPF 45.
Body Restoration Spa opened in 2002. The expansion of owner Cara Solomon’s skin care and massage practice, Body Restoration developed into a small spa of five treatment rooms. The spa features a dedicated staff of health and wellness professionals offering massage therapy, facials and waxing.
Back Facial
Back To Brilliance: The shower can only provide so much rinsing and cleansing of the back. Accumulation of shampoo and conditioning residues as well as perspiration can add to a neglected appearance. Exfoliation, an abundance of steam, massage therapy and extractions are intensely therapeutic for such a hard to reach area.

There are many alternative therapies out there that you can use to treat various conditions, from massage therapy to acupuncture. One type of therapy that you may want to consider as well is cupping. Despite being considered an “alternative” form of therapy, facial and body cupping has been around for at least two thousand years and is used throughout the world as an effective pain relief treatment.
Why tint? You may find your face will be framed in a more flattering way if you allow an eye brow specialist to tint the brows or lashes. Other brow hairs can be darkened bringing about a fuller look. A trained eye by a wax professional knows which hairs to leave and which hairs to take when styling and shaping the brows.

Eyelash Tinting
If you would rather wait until the baby is born to resume eyebrow or eyelash tinting, that is your call. You may want a more holistic pregnancy without any chemicals applied to your body. But we have tinted eyebrows and eyelashes on pregnant women, just as they still receive hair color services at their salon.
