Friday Night at the Spa

Well, it's been a fine networking week for Jon Ric Express Spa and Salons! Thursday morning was the monthly Go Small Biz breakfast with Fran Tarkenton at the Livermore Chamber of Commerce. They hosted an author on discussing the importance of networking, then later that night there was a 'TweetUp' with a group that meets monthly in Livermore to promote Tweeting and learn more about each other's businesses and interests. It was a great time and I highly recommend checking out "Swirl" (www.swirlonthesq.com) in Livermore, a really cool wine bar with a great wine list and ambiance! 

Then, of course, we had a great time at the Crossroads BNI (Business Networking International) meeting, even though a 7Am meeting is had to do after a night of Tweeting at a wine bar!

Anyway, in the interest of education (!) there is a great article about the trends that were seen at New York Fashion week related to the beauty industry. I still believe you should rock your own style, but it's fun to see what is going down the runway. Here are a few highlights and a link to the fantastic article! 

• Celestial Makeup
• Red Lips
• Fun, Chunky Streaks of Haircolor
• Glampire Beauty - more glamourous than vampire
• Blunt Bangs

Check out the article and have a great weekend!

Saturday at the Spa

There is big news at Stoneridge mall for Jon Ric... Blossoms has officially moved in across the aisle where Todai used to be located! The store is the perfect compliment for our spa / salon because our clients often need formal wear and their clients can certainly use spa services. Who wouldn't want to safely lose a several inches before a special occasion with a natural, Aloe Vera body wrap or get that facial with microdermabrasion and waxing days before the special event. Women love to pamper themselves with a mani/pedi, look good with waxing and what about a little extra sparkle with a nice teeth whitening? Men can also try our "Amigo Manicure" to take care of their hands too! We can't wait to start working with Blossoms to support customers!

Also this week on Dr Oz, he talked about the hazards of 'extracting' your own blackheads and pimples. Who knew that the bacteria in a blackhead and pimple can leach into your system and cause health issues. Check out Dr Oz's site for more information or stop by Jon Ric at Stoneridge / Pleasanton or Valley / Fair in Santa Clara - San Jose for expert information or a complimentary consultation!

Hope everyone had a nice Saturday night!  

Ready for the weekend....

Happy Valentine's Day! Hopefully everyone is doing something they love with someone that they love on Sunday, even if it's just doing something special for yourself. The spa continues to roll out new programs, like the Platinum membership club that we are starting, where we offer (for free) enrollment in a membership that will celebrate special holidays like birthdays and anniversaries with you with special offers and automatic enrollment in our monthly product drawing. We are really excited, so come by to visit us in Stoneridge (925.924.0142) or Valley Fair (408.615.1860) or at www.jonricexpress.com.

Another Day at The Spa!

Today we started the day at Stoneridge with a fantastic team meeting. Our Stoneridge location has a team that is committed to supporting each other, providing top quality services, continuing education and excellent hair, nails and skin services. Karen Scott gave me my updated Egyptian manicure, complete with glitter tips. She is an expert on natural nails and my nails have never been stronger. Our estheticians are excited to provide waxing and makeup services at the Twisted Silver party tomorrow and we are getting ready for our season of Up-Do's. Jon Ric Express at Stoneridge and Valley Fair is getting off to a strong start!
