NEW Brightening Facial!
Our skin endures a lot. Every day, natural and environmental triggers work to change its structure from inside and out - speeding up the aging process and resulting in uneven skin tone; hyperpigmentation; fine lines; wrinkles and loss of elasticity.

The good news? Our skin CAN fight back against these processes; It just needs a little help. New technology and research allow us to harness the full power of Vitamin C and enhance the skin's natural defense system to stop damage before it starts.

Enjoy the beautiful results for $100 in July.
Regularly $125

Time to hit those books, and end of summer hair challenges are part of your homework!

Did your child’s sun-drenched locks pick up a golden hue but also some green tint this summer? Chlorine is not kind, but we have a solution for that. A Malibu in-salon treatment will remove the deposit without damage and bring your hair back to blonde and up to your school’s dress code.
With summer camps over and school beginning it's time to have THE chat. Lice. It makes you itch by the mere mention of it. Rarely harmful, except for infections caused by scratching, learning your child has lice is met with great dread. It is common. It does not mean you are dirty. Lice does not discriminate and neither should you! Do a thorough check now to avoid outbreaks later.

Thin Splitting Nails

LCN gel nails are the solution. LCN Gel Nails are non-porous and do not weaken the wearer’s natural nails, but protect them. Other benefits include:

*No aggressive additives - gentle on natural nails
*No unpleasant odors
*Non-porous - nails will NOT yellow
*Natural looking - use with or without polish

Full set: $75 Fill: $45

What our Thairapists Can't Live Without

Having access to so many wonderful choices we wanted to share some of the products your Thairapists just simply cannot live without. This month we chatted with our Esthetician Kaitlyn to find out what her go to is. Drum roll please… Dynamic Skin Recovery. Kaitlyn loves that this medium weight moisturizer not only contains ingredients that promote and stimulate collagen and elastin production but is also a Broad Spectrum SPF50.
Enjoy 10% off Dynamic Skin Recovery in September.

While we're still enjoying the summer, fashion is moving to fall and winter.
If you've been window shopping lately, you've noticed the 70's inspired clothing. On trend hairstyles, the modernized versions of the shag and pageboy, will dominate this fall. Call to schedule a consultation with your Thairapist to plan your look for the autumn season!

New to our shelves

If you enjoy Nioxin’s 3- part system, you are going to fall in love with Instant Fullness. A dry cleanser that refreshes scalp and leaves hair looking and feeling 2x fuller within seconds.
Anytime, anywhere, you can give your hair an instant fix of fullness!

What’s happening with Glo?

Heads up! Glo Minerals (make-up) and Glo Therapeutics (skin care) have merged! The company has decided to rebrand themselves and are now simply Glo Beauty. Not to worry though, the same great formulas and products aren’t going anywhere, just new packaging and a new name.
Glo Beauty’s Protecting Powder is a great alternative for heavier sunscreens that we keep reapplying throughout the day. With a broad spectrum SPF of 30, this sleek and compact powder brush combo not only keeps your skin safe from the UV rays, but also helps to diminish any shine that you see happen during the day. We love those multi-use products!

Happy 4th of July. Things are sizzling! Your holiday sparklers, the heat off the pavement and your backyard bbq.

We’ve got services to keep you sizzling hot while enjoying a more chill summer approach to looking good and feeling great!

Fabulous Feet
Your tootsies are working overtime this season and are due some attention. We guarantee the highest level of sanitation to provide you peace of mind while getting your feet flip flop ready for summer with these steps:

A soothing foot soak
Exfoliation: needed to remove dead skin cells that cause unsightly cracks and encourage new cell growth for smoother feet
Clipping toe nails: Prevents pain and ingrown toe nails.
Properly cleaning toe nails: Eliminates dirt and bacteria that your more exposed to in the summer. Prevent foot odor and worse with a healthy pedicure.
A perfect finish: Nail Laquer (free of Formaldehyde, Toluene, and DBP) or go natural with a brilliant buff and shine!

Independence From Frizz
Your skin is happy to have some more moisture in the air. But your hair is struggling with the frizz. Spend less time struggling with your hair and enjoy more time for mojitos with a Smoothing Therapy Treatment.
All healthy hair is made up of Keratin, moisture, and lipids. If your hair is naturally coarse and curly, or is damaged by environment or sun exposure then it can lose these elements. When this happens, the hair becomes drier and coarser, so any moisture in the air causes big hair and frizz!

Keratin Smoothing Therapy Treatment replaces and repairs the keratin loss in the hair, leaving you with shiny, healthier looking hair. After a Keratin Treatment you can expect an easier (and quicker) blow out, and a barrier against humidity effecting the largeness of your locks.
Choose from the Smoothing Treatment (lasts up to 5 months) or the Express treatment that lasts up to 6 weeks.
In July, with your keratin treatment purchase a keratin friendly Morrocan Oil or Wella Elements shampoo and receive a FREE conditioner !!
Ask your hair Thairapist for more details, or visit our website www.thairapyplus.com.

SPF
A gentle reminder, sun damage does not only happen after a day at the pool or beach, and is not isolated to our warm Chicago months; so, please remember to wear your sunscreen (SPF 30+ for areas above the shoulders), year-round! Also, we tend to forget to protect our ears and around the nape of our necks, so make sure those areas and your scalp are protected as well

We see a lot of skin damage and pre-cancer on our gentlemen in this area because of short hair, but this applies to the ladies as well. Short styles and ponytails expose these areas we might forget in colder Chicago months.

If you are someone who finds that sunscreen irritates your skin, know that there are two different types of sunscreens, physical and chemical, so there is surely one out there that will work for you! Physical sunscreens are recommended for sensitive skin types, acting like a shield to UV rays. Chemical sunscreens sit on the surface of the skin, and rather break up and "dissolve" UV rays before they can damage the skin.

Confused on which sunscreen is best for you? Stop in and chat with Kaitlyn so that she can recommend the perfect SPF for you!

It's time for baseball, beer and back waxing!? Yep. It's summer and our Thairapists are here to get you ready. De-stress with a hot steam facial or a pedicure for flip flop season. Be picture perfect with a new hair cut and beard shaping. Let us take care of you this Father's Day!

Beards and Skin Health

Your beard is as important as the hair cut you choose. Facial hair makes a statement. Some things to consider are:

The Shape of your face. Facial hair can enhance your best features while minimizing weaker ones.
Growth patterns and areas of weak growth.
Maintenance: How much time are you willing to commit to the extra grooming? No. it is NOT easier than shaving and can often require more time to keep it looking great.

Let us help you choose the right facial hair for your face shape and show you how to maintain it between visits to Thairapy Plus.
Caring for skin when you have facial hair:

Cleanse with Dermalogica's Special Cleansing Gel, which works for all skin types and cleans without soap or artificial fragrance.
Follow with Dermalogica's Multi-Active Toner to hydrate and smooth the skin.
Cyclists, Runners, and other active men: use Dermalogica's Barrier Repair to shield against environmental stress or the recommended moisturizer for you skin type. Don't forget the SPF!
Apply Sebastian's Dark Oil to Beard, it's a mixture of

Waxing. It's definitely a "man-thing".

Waxing. It’s definitely a “man-thing”. Getting ready for street festivals, wearing short-sleeve shirts and tanks again, and being at the beach is not something that only our female clientele is thinking about. And we promise, it is not as horrifying as watching Steve Carrel’s character in The 40-Year-Old Virgin have his chest waxed.
Thairapy Plus offers a wide variety of body waxing for both men and women. Body waxing is a great way to remove unwanted body hair and it will leave the area smoother and hair free longer, while also eliminating those painful and unsightly ingrown hairs.
Make your appointment today for your “dude-friendly” waxing service and let us help you boost your confidence this summer and bare your skin (with SPF of course!).

Put Your Best Forward

Pedicures aren't just for looking good. They also feel great, and help with overall foot health. Benefits of pedicures:

Prevent and treat cracked heels
Release toe pain
Prevent foot odor
Prevent ingrown toenails

If you don't think you need one, ask your partner. They may think differently!
