First, you should start with a relaxing spa massage.  Our staff uses recommended massage oils to give you a complete pre-prom pampering experience.  We offer a variety of massages, including back massage, deep tissue massage, and Swedish massage.  Your masseuse can share with you information on how to keep your skin healthy long after your massage, along with any other helpful skin tips you might want.  After your massage, you should move on to the rest of our exhilarating spa treatments and get your nails done by one of our skilled technicians.  For your perfect prom nails, share with your technician what your outfit for the night looks like so we can produce the best possible look for you.  Once your nails have dried, you can move on to the final and most important stage of the process – your hair.  Before you come into the salon, look through a lot of prom hair ideas to get a feel for what type of look you want and we will do our very best to create it for you.  You can also consult with your stylist to find the best look for you.  We are often recommended as one of the best bridal hair salons in the Rockville area, and that carries over to prom hair as well.  Elegance is our goal when styling your updos.

If you are interested in any of the spa services listed above, consider giving us a call today to learn more about our extensive list of spa packages.  You can come in to pamper yourself, or you can select a number of spa gifts to give to someone on the verge of one of the most important nights of high school – prom!

Deep tissue massage aims to realign deep layers of muscle and connective tissue.  The neck, the lower back and the shoulders are areas often targeted by deep tissue massage because they tend to accumulate most of the body’s tension.  The massage targets areas that have accumulated painful and rigid tissue called adhesions, which usually occur in muscles, tendons and ligaments.  Adhesions can cause significant inflammation and pain by blocking one’s circulation and can limit one’s movement.  Adhesions are physically broken down during a deep tissue massage, resulting in pain relief and fully restored movement.  To achieve this result, the masseuse applies deep and direct pressure across the affected muscles.  There is usually a certain amount of pain associated with the massage, and you should always be sure to notify your masseuse if the pain you feel is too uncomfortable.  It is important to remember to breathe deeply during your massage.

Deep tissue massages are not recommended for everyone.  Pregnant women should always consult with a doctor before getting an extensive massage, and should visit with a masseuse who is specially certified to work with pregnant women.  Deep tissue massage should not be performed immediately after surgery or chemotherapy.  It should not be performed on someone with an infectious skin disease or rash or over bruises, tumors or unhealed wounds.

Consider getting a deep tissue massage if you have a great deal of stress and tension in your upper body.  Our experts at Rockville Spa will work out your discomfort until you feel like you again!  Afterwards, you can pamper yourself by getting your hair or nails done at Studio 355 Hair Spa!

The benefits of a Swedish massage are great. First, you must understand how the Swedish massage is performed. The techniques used for Swedish massage involves placing deep pressure, kneading, tapping and stroking ligaments, soft tissue, nerves, glands and muscles. So it isn’t simply a back rub like with other massages. The movements used by the therapists at Studio 355 Hair and Day Spa are particular and in tune with your body’s natural blood flow to the heart.

The lymph system in your body transfers fluids with waste and nutrients throughout your body. This fluid is circulated during the Swedish massage. Since the massage improves the circulation, those suffering from muscle strain can benefit from a Swedish massage because it helps flush out metabolic waste like uric acid and lactic acid from the muscles. In the end, you’re able to heal faster (especially after working out). Athletes and bodybuilders commonly get Swedish massages after their sets, practices and games. Other benefits of a Swedish massage includes dilation of blood vessels, cleansing, prevention of injuries, and tension and stress relief.  The areas of the body that benefit include the circulatory system, respiratory system, digestion, the mind, muscular system and endocrine system.

If a Swedish massage sounds like it’s something you’d like, you can set up an appointment with Studio 355 Hair and Day Spa. And while you’re there consider getting your skin, hair and nails done!
