Planning for the Wedding Day
Pre-Wedding Hair and Make-up Idea Sessions
These experimental sessions are perfect for the bride who is looking
for lots of unique ideas from the experts. With so many hairstyles and
make-up looks to choose from, this session provides ideas to help you
and your professional select the look that enhances your personal style.
A Polaroid picture will be taken of each look. The selected style and
make-up blends will be documented in your file to ensure accurate reproduction
for your wedding. Please bring in pictures of ideas you would like to
try.
Tension Relief & Relaxation
To relieve stress and tension during your engagement, it's important
to take care of yourself both physically and mentally during this extremely
busy time. Here are some suggestions for ultimate relaxation and skin
preparation.
Facials
Based on professional skin analysis and consultation, your facial will
be customized to suit any skin condition. You will enjoy a deep cleansing
of skin and pores, followed by a relaxing muscle-toning massage for
the face, neck, shoulders, and décolletage. Also included is
a stress relieving scalp massage and a relaxing hand and foot massage.
This will aid the overall appearance of your skin. These can also be purchased
in a series of five facials to be used within one year.
Body Scrubs
A full body exfoliation that removes dead surface cells from the body.
Leaves your skin feeling smooth and your body rejuvenated. Wonderful
compliment to a body wrap. Remineralizes skin and restores a healthy
glow. Do not shave or wax prior to body scrubs.
Massage
Massage is the deepest relaxation imaginable, customized to soothe your
individual needs. Whether you need a light soothing massage or a deeper
massage to relieve muscular tension, our massage experts utilize a variety
of techniques including Swedish massage, deep tissue massage and acupressure.
Through the use of aromatherapy we ensure this will treat your spirit
as well as your body. You will be modestly draped throughout your massage
session.
Hydrotherapy
Hydrotherapy is the use of water to aid in beautification and well-being.
Renews the body and relaxes the mind. Benefits several systems of the
body, including the lymphatic system and circulatory system. These treatments
are wonderful to add on to any body therapy services.
Wedding Day Preparation
Hair Color Artistry
Color is a tool of every professional artist. Calista's color artists
are recognized nationally and internationally and are certified educators
for a top color company. From subtle shine to a dramatic change, our
colorists enable you to experience natural sheen and enhanced beauty
in your hairstyle. Whether you prefer monthly maintenance or quarterly
maintenance, we will help you achieve what is right for you. Services
available include shine enhancement, single step or double step process,
highlights, and corrective color - which is our specialty.
Texture Enhancement
Fashion trends and what looks best on you may call for a change in the
texture of your hair. Whether you need to build up your style or you
prefer yourself in curls, our perm technology ensures beautiful results
that are safe for your hair. Texture enhancement can be described as
improving the condition of your hair, adding body or curl, or taking
away curl. Our technicians will discuss with you what will enhance your
look. As with every other service, the texture enhancement is finished
with an educational styling, through which you are taught the proper
technique for styling your hair and the proper products necessary for
you to use. Services available for texture include directional perm,
partial perm, spiral perm, piggyback perm, straighten a perm, virgin
relaxer, and retouch relaxer.
Waxing
The non-ending battle of hair growth is over. Waxing treatments slow
and weaken hair growth and result in silky, smooth skin for approximately
three to six weeks. Waxing is available for any place where unwanted
hair exists.
Manicure
Experience the Calista Grand signature manicure, which consists of an
Aroma Warm Flower Essence Manicure with an exfoliating treatment and
customized parafin resin mask that will leave hands rehydrated, soft,
smooth and relaxed.
Pedicure
This is an Aroma Warm Flower Essence Pedicure with an exfoliating treatment
and customized parafin resin mask for the ultimate spa pedicure. Includes
a relaxing foot massage and polish. Enjoy a jacuzzi foot bath and custom-controlled
massage chair.
Wedding Tips
Wedding Day
To enable us to service you properly we recommend arriving 15 minutes
before your scheduled appointment time. On the day of your wedding,
our Wedding Hostess will be here to welcome you and your wedding party
with plenty of pampering. Every memory will be captured by our Hostess
who will be snapping pictures with a disposable camera that is yours
to keep. We also provide a light fare for your dining enjoyment.
Contract and Payment
In order to hold your appointments, we will ask you sign a contractual agreement.
Our payment policy requires a 50% deposit to hold the wedding date.
If these services are cancelled 60 days prior to the wedding date, we
will refund the deposit less 10%. Cancellations after this point will
not be refunded. For your convenience the balance is due one week prior
to the wedding date. We hope that this will add to the ease and enjoyment
of your day.
What to Bring
- Bridal head piece
- Please wear a button down shirt for your appointment.
- Have your hair washed and completely dried before arriving if we are
styling hair in a formal updo.
- If you are using the spa, Calista provides bathrobes, slippers, and
a personal locker during your visit. If you need a safe place for jewelry,
ask in advance. We also have a steam shower and blow dryers for your
convenience.
Health Issues for Spa Services
Please be forthcoming with your personal health so that we can help
you plan accordingly. If you have high blood pressure or a heart condition,
it may be best to avoid body wraps or any treatments that involves heat
or detoxification. If you're allergic to iodine, avoid marine products
such as seaweed. If you have varicose veins, avoid body scrubs to those
areas. If you're pregnant, avoid essential oils, detoxification, and
anything that could raise your body temperature such as body wraps,
steam rooms and hydrotherapy tubs.
