Treatment name help

Hello all :)

I have recently begun performing a new treatment on friends that has been very well received and have decided to offer it on my service menu. Only problem is, I have no idea what to call it. Basically it is a 30 minute facial massage and a 20 minute scalp massage...the results are really quite impressive! Not only is it emotionally and physically relaxing, it relaxes the taut muscles and temporarily erases lines and wrinkles :) anyway, if anyone has any ideas I would love to hear them...tomorrow I am taking a facial acupressure class and will be offering that service as well but that is pretty much a service name right there ;)

I am impressed! 30 minutes of facial massaging sounds like a lot of creativity to me because I seem to be eager to move on after 10 mins. I also do scalp massaging but blank after about 10 mins on that area as well. Do you basically do sections of the face at a time or repeat movements over and over?

How about "smooth moves" facial?

Thank you Victoria :) The face massage is absolutely my favorite part of facials - both giving and receiving - unfortunately the receiving part for the most part has let me down over the years, which is why it has become so key for me. So basically my routine started out as me doing to my client what I would think would feel good...lots of sweeping up the neck, concentrating quite a bit on often ignored parts of the face like the chin, the jaw, the brow bone etc...typically the "regular" massage lasts about 12-15 minutes then leads into the scalp massage which lasts about 10-12 minutes so I pretty much follow the "routine", however with the longer massaging I pretty much just listen to what the face is telling me and go where the facial stress and tension are. People LOVE getting their forehead worked on so if there are lots of lines (horizontal or vertical) I concetrate there and work in the direction of the lines. It is so relaxing for both myself and the client. Doing a good scalp massage only enhances the results of a good face massage :)

This treatment sounds lovely. I'd sign up for one! I love the massage segment of the facial - both giving and getting. If it really dramatically relaxes muscles and eases tension as you describe you might consider "Magic Massage Facial"

I'm curious, too, do you perform an overall massage on the entire face, then return to specific areas of concern? Or do you just work overall for the entire 30 minutes?

Marcia, I would LOVE to have a fellow esty come in for this treatment! And like you, I love both giving and receiving massage...it can be so amazing :) I feel really connected with the client at that time, ya know? I like your name idea too! To answer your question, I do sort of a basic once,twice,three times over routine to get the client ready and relaxed then I concentrate on areas of concern...I don't stay in any 1area for too long at a time however because that can become intense for a client and make them uncomfortable or even "icky". In addition to working different areas, I use different amounts of pressure and different parts of my hands as well.

"Manual facial rejuvenation" comes to mind as that is the visible result of your scalp and facial massage.

I like the write-up by Susan.

thank you Sally, that is a cool name...not too cutesy and not too "scientific" :)

or maybe Anti-age Facial, and then use the description to explain about the added massage and its rejuvenation benefit.
