What is a Forever French nail?

Forever French is for those of you that love the French Manicure look and do not have to worry about polish. A Forever French nail is applied with pink and white acrylic with the look of a French Manicure and then buffed to a shine. If for some reason you would like to were red or any other color you can and when you take off the polish you will still have the clean look of a French Manicure. Maintenance of the Forever French is very similar to regular acrylics. You come to John Robert's twice a month and one visit you get a regular fill and the other visit you get a backfill.

What is a Backfill?

A Backfill is when the smile line "The white area on the tip of the nail" grows out and needs to be filled. We also fill in around the cuticle area during the backfill.

How long does your hair have to be to get a wax?

At least 3/4" so that the wax can adhere to it (better too long than too short!). Hair that is excessively long can be trimmed before waxing.

How long will it take before my hair grows back from a waxing service?

Each person's hair grows at a different rate and hair grows at different stages. Waxing is most effective when hair is in its actual growing stage. Most people choose to wax every 4-6 weeks. The more consistently and frequently you wax, the more effective and eventually permanent the hair loss becomes and the less uncomfortable as well. Hair growing back from waxing procedure is very fine and natural, not stubbly.

What is the difference between a Seaweed or Herbal Wrap?

All of our wraps are detoxifying, if you have any allergy to shellfish we would recommend you staying away from the seaweed wrap. Sea products are great for not only detoxifying the skin, but for healing and clarifying it as well. Herbal masks are very soothing to the skin and great for drier conditions. While we do not claim any weight or inch loss with our wraps, many people feel slimmer and more energetic after a wrap.

What is the difference between the Aqua Elixir and a Massage?

John Robert's Aqua Elixir is an exfoliating service done with dead sea salts. The products used for exfoliation are rinsed with a Vichy shower treatment or removed with heated moist towels. A customized oil is then applied to the body with massaging strokes.

A massage is a therapeutic treatment which can involve relaxation techniques, muscle treatment, and more depending upon the needs of the guest.

What is a Vichy shower?

A "rain bar" with 7 shower heads designed to hit the 7 chakra points of the body. The Vichy allows for products to be rinsed from the body while providing a hydrotherapy massage at the same time. During the process you'll feel a sense of weightless suspension as if you're floating on a bed of water. We recommend that guests wear a bathing suit for water treatments or our technicians can drape them with towels to protect their modesty.

What is the difference between a Spa Pedicure and Express Pedicure?

A spa pedicure is an hour long service. Your experience will begin by soaking your feet in a whirlpool jet tub while seated in a massaging shiatsu recliner. Working from the knee down, your legs, ankles and feet are exfoliated and buffed using both exfoliating products and specially designed foot files. A soothing masque is applied to the skin and removed with warm towels. Your nail technician will also provide a massage on your legs and feet using a product to calm, and moisturize your skin. Your toes are then perfectly manicured, nails filed, cuticles trimmed, and polish is applied.

An express pedicure is a 30-minute service. Your experience will begin by soaking your feet in a whirlpool jet tub while seated in a massaging shiatsu recliner. You'll receive a moisturizing foot massage, and have your toes perfectly manicured, nails filed, cuticles trimmed, and polish is applied.

The Great Lengths method allows you to brush through your hair, shampoo, swim, etc. We advise that you come in for a complimentary consultation with one of our extension experts to determine which method, as well as length and fullness would be most appropriate for you.

What is Indian Head Massage?

The head, neck and shoulders are important energy centers within your body. If you are feeling stressed or angry, tension tends to accumulate in these areas, which can lead to decreased blood flow. The Indian Head Massage is based on an ancient Ayurvedic healing system, which movements feel like a great cleansing of toxins, stress and strain.

During this 30-minute firm, rhythmic massage, the therapist works to unknot blockages in the neck, scalp, face, shoulders, ears, upper back and energy system. The Indian Head Massage is an excellent treatment for stress-linked problems such as headaches and eyestrain, and also stimulates blood flow to the hair follicles to increase the supply of nutrients needed for healthy hair growth.
