NJ EVENTS FOR FAMILY INCLUDE SPA, SHOP, & DINE AT PIER VILLAGE


NJ day spa launches summer promotional event at Pier Village in Long Branch.
The event includes discounts and specials at Pier Village shops and restaurants, and of course, big savings at Aquamedica Salon & Day Spa.
NJ Spa owner launches discount day at Pier Village called Spa Shop and Dine.
Each Tuesday in June shoppers can get great discounts at participating shops and Aquamedica Spa will be offering discounts on their famous spa services.

Valentina Chistova, owner of Aquamedica Salon and Day Spa in Pier Village, likes the challenge of an aggressive marketplace.
The savvy 60-year-old spa owner has been successfully surviving the country’s worst recession with clever marketing and meaningful messaging.
Now she has turned her skill towards drumming up business for her fellow Pier Village neighbors.
The concept is simple, each month, pick a dedicated day of the week where Pier Village businesses can come together and offer special discounts to patrons who spa, shop, or dine on that particular day, hence the name ‘Spa, Shop & Dine’.
The discounts will be focused on driving business to slower days of the week for all participating vendors.
The initiative kicks off this June on Tuesdays. Patrons will be able to take advantage of discounts and premiums from Aquamedica Salon and Day Spa, The Wine Loft, Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory and The Turning Point restaurant. Each month they hope to gain more participation from Pier Village businesses and continue to offer phenomenal deals to shoppers.
Chistova commented on the program, “We have already been offering great deals to our clients. Despite the recession, we still want them to be able to come and enjoy our services. As we became successful with our own programs, we decided it made sense to ask other Pier Village businesses to participate with us. It is a win-win situation for all involved.”
To see all of the participating vendors and their special discounts for Tuesdays in June, visit Spa-Shop-Dine.
Spa, Shop and Dine kicks off in June with no end date in mind. “If the program is a success, I see no reason why we will stop,” said Chistova. “We would love to continue the program all year round.”

HOW TO GET THE PERFECT EYEBROW SHAPE FOR YOUR FACE


The shape of your eyebrows can dramatically change your appearance.
Eyebrows flatter your face, balance your unique features and are the frame for your eyes. A few wrong plucks could undo the right shape, length, and width for your face.
If you haven’t found a brow stylist that suits you, here are some tips and tricks you can try at home to groom your brows. If you are in the NJ area, you can schedule a complimentary consultation with me at Aquamedica Salon and Day Spa to discuss how we can achieve the perfect brow for your face.

1.To measure where your eyebrow should begin, imagine an invisible line running from the inside corner of your eye to the outermost point of your nose (hold a pencil up for a more precise look).

2.To measure where you arch should peak, imagine another invisible line running from the outermost point of your nose to the outermost part of your iris. This is where your arch should peak.

3. How Thick should your eyebrows be? This depends on the shape of your face. There are a few rules of thumb to go by. For a round face, generally a more dramatic arch can draw attention away from the roundness. Long faces should stay away from high arches, which only makes the face appear longer. Instead, your eyebrows should be flatter with less of an arch to give the illusion of a shorter face. If you have a very angular face with prominent jaws, stay away from eyebrows that are equally as angular. Keep eyebrows more round to soften the sharp angles of your face.
The first thing I do when I see a client for eyebrow shaping at my NJ spa is study their face straight on. I observe their facial features and take a mental measurement of the structure of their face. Remember, eyebrows do not come in a ‘one size fits all’ strategy. That is why I do not recommend people bring in photos of eyebrows that they want. Chances are, these eyebrows will not look good on your face. We have to work to enhance your bone structure and flatter your eyes.
Although they may not be the first thing people notice, properly groomed eyebrows can give you an instant makeover, open your eye area and make you look several years younger. You’ll feel instantly more confident.

You are always welcome to visit Aquamedica for an appointment. We are located in Pier Village on the boardwalk of Long Branch, NJ.

MOTIVATE YOUR EMPLOYEES


Would you rather have a set of steak knives or a gift of relaxing spa treatment from your boss?
Instead of giving your hard-working and loyal staff an ugly chochckee that will just gather dust, (if it even makes it onto a shelf and doesn’t go straight to the circular filing bin on the floor) why not send them to a place where they can receive some much-deserved relaxation?
Many companies are now choosing to offer employees a relaxing spa experience. This will end up benefiting the company as well since your employee will feel appreciated and rejuvenated?
Who wouldn’t want to feel like that?

NJ SKIN CARE EXPERT SAYS AVOID UNSIGHTLY RAZOR BUMPS, THROW AWAY YOUR RAZOR


Another reason to wax your body instead of shaving; folliculitis. Otherwise known as razor bumps.

According to NJ skin care expert, Valentina Chistova, folliculitis is an inflammation of the hair follicle that appears as an eruption of skin surrounding a hair or pore. Usually red bumps, or little pus bumps, characterize the disease known to many as razor burn.

There is no ‘cure’ for folliculitis, although there are treatments that can be prescribed to help clear an aggressive outbreak. Eliminating external aggravating factors, such as shaving, is the best option for long term control.

Waxing has many benefits over shaving. For starters, shaving cuts the hair, so it has a flat tip that sometimes has trouble poking through the skin — this can cause ingrown hairs and irritations.

Waxing pulls out the hair completely from the root, so when it grows in, it has a natural, pointed tip that can poke through skin easier.
After waxing, you’ll be smooth for about 2 weeks or more, depending on how fast your hair grows, as opposed to shaving which will only leave you smooth for about a day or so.

For questions or comments, email Valentina at valentina@aquamedicaspa.com

BUY SPA GIFT OF RELAXATION THIS FATHER'S DAY AT NJ BEST DAY SPA


“Any fool can be a Father, but it takes a real man to be a Daddy!!“
Fathers Day Quote by: Philip Whitmore Senior.

Do you remember all the Father’s Day Gifts that you got for him? Soap-on-a-rope? The teal tie that had monkeys on it? The picture of yourself in a silver frame?

What about a gift of relaxation? I took my dad to a spa for the first time in San Diego a few years ago. We first had a glass of wine together in the relaxation area that had velvet coaches and a five foot water fountain. We then went in the steam room that was permeated with eucalyptus.

Why should you choose AQUAMEDICA Salon and Day Spa?
We are located on the beaches of Long Branch New Jersey, at the famed Pier Village attraction center. We offer a beautiful setting, complete with private changing facilities for men and women, soft, plush spa robes and slippers, unlimited time in our relaxing Dream Room, before or after treatments, and the invigorating breeze of the Atlantic Ocean sweeping through you as you arrive for your services.
