Keeping You Current!

Why Should I Get a Pedicure? My Answer – "Why Shouldn’t You?

I will start with the basics – ONE HOUR of relaxation. To start – imagine sitting in a comfortable chair, your feet in bubbling soothing warm water. Your whole body begins to relax, then a foot is gently lifted out of the water and is scrubbed with a soft scrunchy thing, massaged with oils, then put back into the warm bubbling water while the other foot receives the same treatment.

Then your legs are massaged again with lotion and wrapped in warm towels while your toe nails are carefully trimmed. One foot is in the soothing water while the other foot is being treated!
Are you relaxed yet?

Now for the good part – what color did you select to anoint your
toes? I recommend you check out OPI Purple Palazzo Pants
(Who comes up with these color names?) for a soft gentle look
OR Try OPI Black Onyx to make a statement.

But wait - they aren't done yet - now you get to sit back and relax while your freshly painted nails dry. You can read a book/magazine, chill, snooze, this is your time - so what are you waiting for? Schedule a pedicure, you won't regret it. I know I didn't and plan to make this a regular part of my schedule. Wouldn't you agree - we all need a little pampering now and then?

Join the Dialogue Update:

Hair Base Salon would like to thank everyone who participated in the Join the Dialogue Survey. While the survey will be open until the end of the month; we received so many thoughtful responses we wanted to take a moment to update survey participants.  
 
We’d also like to state, unequivocally, that we have no intention of discontinuing the Moroccan Oil line of products.  The product is excellent! This survey was about the poster NOT the products!
 
In general, the overwhelming response was that the poster is something often seen in mainstream culture and that it fits a salon. The first question was about impression and purpose and the overall response is that it is a typical image seen everywhere, that it is a classy image with beautiful hair.
 
However, it was also noted due to the revealing nature of the attire that to some respondents, the woman appeared provocative and that our society often connotes beauty with sexuality.  A survey responder commented that beauty is about the inside character as well as the outside “look” of a person. Here at Hair Base Salon our goal is to have everyone leave feeling happy, lovely, refreshed, beautiful, and appreciated. We style to suit the individual and bring out the inner beauty without objectifying.  For this reason, we are switching the poster out with another to continue to market the Moroccan Oil products that we sell, as we believe everyone is beautiful in their own way.

Hair Base Salon sells Moroccan Oil products (manufactured in Israel) and received and hung this promotional poster in the front window of the Salon. Recently, the Salon received a call from a community member who was offended by the poster and politely requested we remove it from the window. 
 
Our philosophy here at Hair Base is one of being open to all, we believe everyone in the community should be treated with respect and courtesy. We strive to create a welcoming atmosphere for anyone choosing to visit the salon. Therefore, we would like to take the concern over the poster as an opportunity to have a thoughtful dialogue with our clientele and community members.  
 
If you would like to join in the dialog, please respond to the questionnaire below. We will share the results in one month.
