Body wrapping - 21-10-09, 10:34 PM

I am interested in adding this , but I wondered if any of you do this and if so, which ones do you use.

Two questions,

we dont have a shower in the salon, so is it practical for us to perform this treatment?

would you body brush instead of exfoliate?

I was just wondering what you guys do and if you think its a worthwhile treatment to add?

thank you in advance!

I use Decleor & offer their body treatments (17 in total), including wrap treatments. I've used lots of different wraps in the past & they've always been popular when marketed properly. If you don't have a shower then they are normally quite easily removed with sponges, hot towels, wet mitts etc, using a dry mitt afterwards. In fact I've got two booked in tomorrow!!

Arosha do body wraps and you don't need to shower.
The bandages are pre-soaked with the ingredients and they stay active for 12 hours thus eliminating the need to shower.
You can get them from Techspa.

You can still exfoliate without a shower. You would just have to use warm mitts to remove it. They are really popular treatments and lots of different brands are out there that don't involve clients having to shower. I'm using Thalgo at the moment.

Hiya

I currently offer the full range of Pure Fiji Spa, Facial and Body Treatments.

They are a fantastic natural skincare line that suits all skin-types.

Regarding the body range, they have an award winning exfoliating sugar scrub, which is absolutely amazing. The sugar melts during exfoliation and does not require showers, any excess you other massage in, or wipe off with a steam towel.

They also have various monoi massage oils. body butters, bath soaks, body scrubs, in 7 different infusions, Frangipani, Coconut, Gingerlilly, Mango..... and more. (These are the ones i stock.)

In terms of treatments they have around 12 different treatments, from Fijian Bobo massage which is a south pacic technique using forearms and elbows, (really good).

A sugar exfoliation treatment, called Tropical Paradise Sugar Glow Treatment. To the Royal Milk and Honey Ritual which is a body wrap using milk and honey to target cellulite and anti aging. This is my most popular one.

However there are lots more, Check them out!!

Oh almost forgot, and the best bit is the opening order minimum is tiny compared to other brands... only £550 plus Vat. And there is no set package as compared to other brands so you pick what you want, based upon the treatments you want to do, and thus dont have to stock loads of stuff which you may never use or sell, I have experienced with other brands

their is a lovely seaweed wrap from HOF which is a seaweed exfoliation (removed with mitts), a gel wrap solution (I use a bottle warmer to heat it up it goes on easier), you then wrap the client up in plastic sheet, etc.
When you remove it, you use a steamed mitt or sponges to remove the excess then you massage the rest of the solution in.

Under £100
