Indulge Yourself with a Coppola Keratin Treatment

Scruples Salon & Day Spa is offering a Coppola Keratin Treatment for $225 instead of $250, this special is valid thru January 31, 2017.

Have you longed for beautiful, shiny, bouncy hair? Many women go through great lengths to get lustrous bouncy hair at home with DIY masks and protein treatments. These are time consuming and take a lot of patience! Unfortunately after a DIY hair treatment, your hair will not look like you’ve stepped out of a salon. To get the soft, silky, straight, frizz-free hair you’ve been dreaming of, you need to go for a keratin treatment! So don’t miss out on this awesome special Scruples Salon & Day Spa is running through January 31, 2017.

Did you know that Keratin treatments are one of the hottest salon items over the last few years? They make your hair frizz free, straight, and silky. If you have really curly hair, Keratin will relax the curls or even straighten them. Keratin relaxes and smooths the hair, is semi-permanent and may last 4 to 6 months. This is a great alternative to straightening your hair every day! You will save a huge amount of time getting ready and could really change your life in positive ways! You will be able to walk in humidity and rain without worrying about your hair getting all frizzy and crazy!

So ask yourself this - do you have unruly, frizzy hair and it takes a good hour or more to blow dry and straighten? Is the frizz in the summer time unbearable? Is your hair lacking shine and dull? Then a keratin treatment at Scruples Salon Day Spa may be the right choice for you! Not everyone is suitable for keratin treatments so if you are unsure and have any questions, feel free to consult with one of our professional stylists before scheduling your appointment.

Benefits of Massage Therapy

Scruples Salon & Day Spa offers a wide variety of massages to relax and rejuvenate your sore, tired body!  You can view our full list of massages at:  http://www.scruplesdayspa.com/massage-therapy/

First, what is massage?  Massage is a general term for pressing, rubbing and manipulating one’s skin, muscles, tendons and ligaments. Massage can range from light to deep pressure and can last anywhere from 10 minutes to 90 minutes depending on what type of massage you are getting and how much time you have available. During and after a massage, you will feel calm and relaxed.

Have you ever had a massage and wondered what the benefits of massages are other than time to yourself with relaxation? 

There are many benefits to massage therapy such as it is an effective treatment to muscle tension, stress and pain.  Massage therapy can also improve sleep, boost immunity, improves circulation and encourages relaxation.

Waxing Services!

Are you tired of unwanted and unnecessary hair growth?  Annoyed at shaving every day?  Then it’s time to treat yourself to a waxing treatment at Scruples Salon & Day Spa!

There are many different methods of hair removal. One of the most popular, as well as most effective methods for men and women is waxing.  Waxing can be done on most areas of the body. It is a relatively quick treatment with little down time and great benefits!

Unlike other methods such as creams and shaving, waxing gives you longer lasting results. Waxing removes hair from the root, so it takes a longer time for hair to grow again- anywhere from 3-8 weeks, depending on the individual speed of hair growth.

With repeated waxing your hair may even stop growing! Hair that grows after waxing is also of a finer and softer variety, not rough and hard as after shaving. This means no pesky stubble! 

Waxing leaves the skin soft, smooth and rejuvenated because it also removes a layer of dead cells from the surface of the skin, and thus, indirectly serves the function of exfoliating the skin as well. Due to these benefits waxing has become increasingly popular among both men and women.

We offer the following waxing services:

Brazilian Wax – Gentle & Soothing

Eyebrow Shaping

Guy Brow Wax

Upper Lip

Chin

Facial Sides

Full Face

Full Arm

Half Arm

Underarms

Women’s Back

Women’s Stomach

Toes

At Scruples Salon & Day Spa, our waxing clients return time and time again because our esthetician is the best in the area!

Bayalage Hair Coloring

At Scruples we are proud to offer Balayage, which is a hair coloring technique that came out in the 70's but has become quite popular in the last ten years or so.  Color is applied “freehand" as opposed to the use of foils. Shoulder length or longer hair is preferred; however it can be applied to shorter hair styles

 There are many advantages with this type of coloring. Since the coloring is lower maintenance, it will require fewer trips to the salon for “touch-ups”. Additionally there are no lines of demarcation due to regrowth of the hair. Finally, when applied properly, the color always looks good!

  The actual process varies, and that is based on the actual length of the hair, and the look that our customer desires to achieve. The process that Scruples uses most often is coloring individual strands with a brush and backing board.  Another method utilized by other hairstylist is to separate the sections of hair with foil, and then freehand the color to the ends. The initial application of color typically requires 3 appointments spaced approximately 6 weeks apart to build up the color. After that, our clients could go up to four months without having more Balayage.

This hair technique is much better suited for longer flowing loose curls or a beachy tousled where you can see the color variations like a ribbon through the hair. Our prices start at $115, depending on the length of the hair, and we are certain you will be delighted with the result.

Hot Stone Massage

Hot Stone Massage

We all know that heat is one of the best ways to relax sore and stiff muscles. One of the best ways to focus this natural muscle relaxer is by placing hot stones directly on the targeted muscle. As the muscles warm up, they will move more freely, and the Massage Therapist can work at loosening their tightness. As the muscles become more fluid, a sense of deep relaxation ensues.

60 minutes: $85

90 minutes: $120

Scruples Salon & Day Spa offers a variety of services including, but not limited to the following:

Spa Services include:

• Esthetic Spa treatments

Swedish Massage

Swedish Massage is the most common type of massage which involves soft, long, kneading strokes, as well as light rhythmic, tapping strokes, on the topmost layers of muscles.  These movements are known as Effleurage and Petrissage. These movements are combined with active or passive movement of the joints which relieves muscle tension. Swedish Massage can be both relaxing and energizing, and may even help an injury. Benefits of Swedish Massage are as follows.

• Loosening tight muscles and stretching connective tissues
• Stimulates blood flow
• Relieves stress and anxiety
• relieves muscle cramps, and decreases muscle fatigue
• Overall sense of relaxation
• Recovery and Relief from athletic injuries

The Benefits of Massage Therapy

At Scruples we not only care about our client's relaxation, but also their continued wellness.  Our highly skilled licensed massage therapists follow a certain protocol with their client.  Our clients complete a confidential questionnaire concerning their medical history which is then discussed and reviewed with the massage therapist. Subsequent to the massage, the therapist post their comments and notes, and the forms are then placed in a secure locked filing cabinet to ensure the clients privacy. When the client returns for their next massage, the questionnaire is pulled and reviewed with the therapist, to discuss any improvements or additional issues that need to be addressed.

We offer a wide variety of massages, in accordance with the client's needs. Research concludes that massage can be a powerful ally in one's healthcare regimen. Experts have shown a link between stress and illness, as well as the aging process. Massage therapy is one of the best ways to relieve stress and improve one's overall health. Reducing one's level of stress and anxiety may also help in slowing the aging process. By managing  stress with massage, this can translate into decreased anxiety, better sleep quality, greater energy, improved circulation, and reduced fatigue. Not only are there physical benefits to massage, but, there are valuable emotional benefits too. 

 Research demonstrates that specific physiological and chemical changes flow throughout the body during and after a massage. It has been specifically noted that with massage, arthritis sufferers have fewer aches and pains, asthmatic children show better pulmonary function, burn injury patients report reduced pain, itching and anxiety. Other advantages include high blood pressure patients reporting a lower diastolic blood pressure after several sessions, and preterm infants have improved weight gain.Additional benefits of Massage Therapy are as follows.

• ·         alleviates low back pain
• ·         assists expectant mothers with shorter easier labor
• ·         enhances immunity by stimulating lymph flow
• ·         stretches weak, tight, or atrophied muscles
• ·         assists athletes to prepare for, and recover from strenuous workouts
• ·         reduces post-surgery adhesions and swelling
• ·         relieves migraine pain

These are just a few of the benefits of touch, which range from treating a chronic disease or to alleviating the tensions of today's living.

Scruples Salon & Day Spa offers Swedish Massage, Neuromuscular Deep Tissue Massage, Therapeutic Massage, Hot Stone Massage, Fitness Massage, Pre-Natal Massage, as well as reflexology. 

Scruples Salon & Day Spa is located within a 1/2 hour of Hartford, Ct., Andover, Ma., and Somers, Ct.
