Back massage with facials?

[Gee]

Hi Geeks,

I've been mobile for about 9 months and have just completed my Level 3 so will be adding massage to my treatment menu... I was thinking of adding a 15 minute back massage to my luxury facials as a way of giving my clients a taster of my massage, hoping they will then book a full body massage.

I have searched this site and a few threads mentioned doing this as a special offer, but i was wondering if anyone offers this all the time as part of their facials?

Also, I read a thread where someone mentioned they do an eyebrow shape as part of their facials, does anyone else do this? I can't decide whether its a good idea or not.

Thanks

Hi i really like the idea but in practice when a client is really relaxed and getting into the facial your going to then have to ask the client to turn onto there front so you can do the back massage, i dont know if it really works as a routine??

Hi, The back massage would be before the facial, but thanks for the reply

Instead of full back massage, how about just doing chest, neck & shoulder massage?

I do facials at £40 and back and shoulders £30 for 30 mins but if a client books the two together I offer £10 off so they pay £60 for both. This works well and means you are not loosing money only 10 minutes extra of your time. :hug: I do back and shoulders first and it really helps the client to relax before the facial.

I always include this in the facial anyway while the mask is on. :hug:

I do hand massage whilst I have the mask on.

The therapist I used to go always included an eyebrow shape (with wax) at the end of a facial - although it does tidy everything up, I hated it! I'd relaxed for over an hour and to finish off with an eyebrow wax felt mean!

Also, when I trained, I was told to be very careful (or to avoid) waxing eyebrows after a facial as the skin has been exfoliated and moisturised (softened) there is an increased risk of grazing the skin.

Not sure if this helps or not!

I use Decleor and all of their facials include a mini-back massage before them. I include chest, neck & shoulder massage as part of the facial massage, and massage the hands & arms whilst the masque is on.

I have had a decleor facial today at the titanic spa and they did a mini back massage first and it was heaven, the back massage was pure pliss and the facial was out of this world. I have totally fallen in love with Decleor.

There is certainly nothing else like a Decleor facial & once hooked there's no escape!!:lol:

Thanks for the replies guys!

Yeah this is what i was thinking! I don't think i will be adding this to my facials after all.

I do a face, neck and shoulder massage with my facials and also a hand and arm massage whilst mask is on.

I think i will give the mini back massage a go and see how it does, if its good enough for decleor its good enough for me! :green:

I do what is called a serenity package where i offer a half hour back massage then a half hour facial and knock off £5 off the combined price, when the mask is setting they get an upperarm decolletage neck, scalp massage anyway.....this is really a very pampering treatment...

Hi iused to be a Decleor therapist and became so used to do ing the back diog that it'd feel wierd to not do one now (although i have adapted it a lot!). Clients love it and whenever they comment on it i make sure to mention how much they'd enjoy a 1/2 hour or hour treatment!
I'd def give it a go, just 5-10 mins and would cost mere pennies in product - nothing to lose just clients to gain! (god how cheesey!)
good luck x :hug:

Hi there.

I always include a back massage with my deluxe facials.

I have been in rented rooms for quite some time and now gone mobile again to avoid overheads lol.

I usually do my back massage first then the facial and while the mask is on I give a arm massage 5 mins on each then 5 mins on back of the neck and shoulders or I can do a scalp massage, or foot massage, it really depends on what the clients wants

I hope this helps and good luck with what you decide
