An Aveda facial consists of an aroma sensory journey, a deep cleansing, skin analysis, having an educator look over your analysis, a refinement with a hand and arm rub, a facial massage, a mask with either a foot rub or a neck and shoulder rub, and ending with eye cream, serum, and moisturizer. You can also add on treatments such as a revitalizing eye treatment, a plant peel, enbrightenment, outer peace, or green science which targets certain skin problems.
Here are a few tips to really making your facial extra special and leaving your clients feeling pampered and relaxed.
- Put essential oils — lavender, vanilla, rose, tangerine or bergamot—in your water bowl
- Mix up different masks. For example, use deep herbal clay mask with exfoliant, enbrightenment toner, or green or sea science
- Mix in tea with a mask
- Use energizing composition oil during the hand and arm massage
- Use a composition oil, mixed with the essential oil of their choice, during the neck massage
- Place a hot towel on their back after the treatment. (This is such a crowd pleaser, it really ends the facial with warmth and soothing while also wiping excess oil off the skin.)
These are some techniques I have personally used in my treatments. The response is always great.
Making the treatment your own is a great way to please a client, and it is more likely that they will come back to you because you added your unique touch. And having some clients who follow you is really important when you’re looking for a job.
