After more than 14 years in the hair removal business, I’m happy to report that today’s lasers offer a wonderful option for those looking to eliminate hair from unwanted areas with a lot less pain then electrolysis (which while permanent, can sometimes require 15-30 visits for best results). That said, we do not tell anyone that it will remove every single hair for ever and ever. Instead, we tell our clients that they may need a few touch up treatments annually. There are things such as hormones, age, pregnancy, stress and medications that can influence future hair growth. As always, each case is unique, so if you have any questions, please feel free to contact me at the spa.
With so many nail polishes available today it can be overwhelming when trying to choose the best one. Why do I choose to use OPI Nail Polish. I have used many different nail polishes available in the nail industry. Aside of fun quirky names, I have discovered from experience that OPI nail polish is one of the most durable and longest lasting nail polishes available. OPI nail polish stays on in some cases for at least up to two weeks! Since 2006, OPI has reformulated its entire line of Nail Lacquers, Nail Treatments, and Nail Hardeners to eliminate DBP (dibutyl phthalate) and Toluene.
Complexions Spa & Salon is very proud to be a sponsor of tomorrow’s 11th Annual RMHC Saratoga Fashion Show fund raising event in Saratoga Springs, New York. The event typically raises thousands of dollars for the Ronald McDonald House Charities of the Capital Region and is open to all. The festivities start in Club House’s At the Rail Pavilion at 11 a.m.
This process prepares the skin’s surface in order for our massage therapist to apply an even layer of sunless tanning lotion. Any accumulation of dead cells can lead to blotching and uneven looking color. The lotion is applied using gentle, efflaurage massage movements which completely relaxes our guest. The results are beautifully bronzed, smooth skin which lasts for approximately 7 days.
Over the years, Complexions nail salon clients – both new and old – have asked me countless times to give up the secret behind the beautiful results we produce each and every day. Like most things, there isn’t really a shortcut to success but rather several key maintenance routines that if performed consistently, result in phenomenal nails. For my first post, I wanted to share with you the answers to a few of these most frequently asked questions. Hopefully they will help you with any concerns you may have or often wondered about.

Upon returning home, the one I couldn’t stop thinking about was the only treatment not of Mayan origin! Simply put, the Hot Poultice Thai Massage is a dream.
On September 29, 2008 we hosted a ceremony at the spa to present those individuals who helped us with our “greening” efforts. The awards were presented by Mike Breslin from the City of Albany. The people who received a certificate for their collaborative efforts with our “greening” process included our architect Greg Sellman, Naomi Miller Lighting [...]
Reaching Gold LEED certification means more than you can imagine. When we first started out with this challenging process, we met people who thought we were crazy.

I recieved an email a few days ago letting us know the status of our LEED certification. Some of the points we applied for we did recieve and some needed additional clarification. We had to send it over to the electrical engineer who is working on the project. Many of the points in question pertained to [...]
Just wanted to quickly reflect on the terrific time all of us from Complexions had this past Thursday. Thanks to everyone who helped make our first “sparty” a smashing success. For those of you who weren’t able to attend, don’t worry – I think we’ll definitely do a variation on this season-inspired program again.

We have been in our new Complexions Spa location at 221 Wolf Road for eleven months now. Earlier this week, I decided to take a quick look at the actual energy savings – if any – we’ve enjoyed thus far. Here is the quick, back-of-the-napkin rundown:
In our previous location we had 4200 sf. In our [...]

Complexion’s has always been a spa that focuses on the wellness side of the services that we offer but now more than ever we are very careful with how we send this message to our guests. We do not use words like pampering and luxury. We have started to explain [...]
