Definition of Terms

Spa is a health and fitness facility offered by a salon.

It is a beauty care service where curative mineral is present for

personal beautification. If spa is applied to the hands, the patron can
experience relaxation, pain is relieved and blood circulation is
stimulated due to the warm and enhancing effect of the softening
agents. It exfoliates dead skin cells and smoothens roughness, aiding
in the penetration of treatment ingredients in the system.

Client care is essential to your success as an operator. show

concern for your client, satisfactorily meet all her needs.

Every consultation you have to:

 listen to what the client tells you

 find out what the client wants

 ask the client courteously to get useful information

 observe the client carefully and thoroughly during the
consultation
 ensure that the client is seated comfortably and securely
throughout the consultation
 reassure the client that her belongings are safe
 check and analyze the condition of the client’s hands and
nails

After taking all these into consideration, you can now prepare
yourself and your client for hand spa. Begin by setting the hand spa
machine to regulate heat and to melt candle wax. Then, direct your
client to hand wash.

Washing hands is one of the most basic ways to minimize the

transmission of germs. Insist that you and the client wash hands prior
to starting service. A fresh bowl of warm soapy water should be
provided to each client for the soaking of hands. After a few minutes,
rinse the hands then towel dry before scrubbing with appropriate
lotion.

Apply hand spa.

LET US REMEMBER

 Client care is the utmost priority of any salon. Allow time for
client consultation before any beauty care service begins.

 Analysis of the client’s hand condition will help you determine

the cosmetics and/or service that should or should not be
applied.

 Maintain good personal and general hygiene. Wash your

hands regularly and clean implements thoroughly.

Definition of Terms

Hand spa – beauty care service using natural oils, vitamins and
minerals having curative effect to the body.

Paraffin – a waxy substance used especially for making candles.

It is important to note that the most exposed part of the body to

toxins are the hands. They should be well taken care of.

Here are some helpful hand spa recipes you can offer to your
clients:

What you need

4 cups grated paraffin or white candle wax

¼ cup olive oil or baby oil
Plastic wrap
Moisturizer/hand cream/lotion

6
Downloaded from www.shsph.blogspot.com

Procedure

1. Melt the oil and wax together in a hand spa machine. Pour
the mixture into a container big enough to dip your hands
in.

2. Cool the wax mixture until comfortably warm. You may dip a
stick in and let a drop fall on your skin to test if the
temperature is tolerable.

3. Massage your hands with moisturizer or hand cream.

4. Dip your hands in the mixture. Then wrap each hand with
plastic wrap and let it set for 20 minutes.

5. Remove the wrap and peel off the wax.

How it works

The heated wax allows the moisturizer to penetrate deeper

into the hands and have a longer lasting moisturizing therapy.
Massage causes certain physiological effects, soothe and relax
blood vessels and nerve endings. Rapid movements stimulate blood
to flow faster and easier.

Avocado and Yogurt Hand Treatment

What you need

½ of an avocado fruit, mashed

½ of a lemon fruit, juiced
½ cup of plain yogurt
petroleum jelly
long white cotton gloves
moisturizing bar soap

Procedure

1. Mix the avocado, lemon juice and yogurt together.

2. Lather mixture on hands and leave for 10 to 15 minutes.

3. Rinse off then apply petroleum jelly.

4. Wear long white cotton gloves for one hour.

5. Rinse off with a moisturizing bar soap.

How it works

The citric acid in lemon and the lactic acid in yogurt help fade
age spots and the natural oils in avocado which is rich in vitamins A,
B and E accelerates healing. Petroleum jelly help moisturizes the
hands making them soft and smooth.

LET US REMEMBER

 Hand massage is a relaxing and worthwhile part of hand spa.

Better blood circulation increases the chances of having
healthy nails.

 Vitamins and minerals in fruits have curative effects to the body

especially when properly used.

 Hand massage is most beneficial when the strokes are directed

to the heart. It can create a feeling of inner well-being.

massage are beneficial to the body. Write your answer in a separate
