Q: Help! What do I get my mum for Christmas? She is 56 and doesn’t really pamper herself but I know she would enjoy it if she would just make an appointment. What can I do to introduce her to beauty?
A: All mothers need some intensive rest and relaxation every now and again. Taking on the problems of the whole family can be stressful and tiring – and Christmas is the perfect time for you to acknowledge all her effort, love and even the nagging!
So while she is thinking about cooking the biggest meal of the year and making the perfect day for the whole family, it’s a lovely thought to give her something just for her.
Often, once we get a client through the door, it starts the beginning of a hard-to-kick pampering addiction and they wonder why they have never done it before.
A great way of getting Mum to come in is to buy her a voucher that she can’t go spending on something dull and practical like a new apron or an ironing board cover.
You can specify the treatment you would like her to have if there is something you know she would really enjoy or you can buy the voucher for an amount of money and she can spend an afternoon with a cup of tea (or in the case of my mother a large glass of wine) and decide which treatments she likes the sound of.
If you are worried that simply buying the voucher would not be enough of a push to get her to come in, you could book to come in together and cut down on the anxiety of coming into an unfamiliar situation. This means you get to treat yourself too so it’s a win-win!
We also have a varied range of homecare products and Christmas gifts at excellent prices from Clarins, Guinot, Mavala and Nailtiques so Mum can get into a good routine at home. Then once familiar with using products and looking after herself as well as she looks after everyone else, she may be more open to a salon visit.
We know coming in to salon for the first time can feel intimidating and unnerving and we always go out of our way to make sure clients feel welcome and at ease.
We enjoy looking after our clients and making sure they get excellent treatment results, and we look forward to hopefully looking after you and your Mum soon.
