Kevin Murphy Products We Love!

At Urban Retreat Spa and Salon,
we proudly use the amazing product line
made by Kevin Murphy.
This week we want to highlight 
two of our favorite Kevin Murphy products
that we know you'll love as much as we do.

Need to give your hair a boost? 

*TRY FULL AGAIN

Want to have fun with color 
but be able to wash it away when 
your done?

*TRY COLOR BUG



“One of the biggest complaints I hear from clients around the world is that their hair is too thin or it doesn’t have enough volume,” says Kevin Murphy, stylist and founder of
 KEVIN MURPHY. 

“I wanted to create a fast-acting product that gives the illusion of sexy, full, luxurious hair that would be easy for anyone to use. As a runway and editorial stylist, I always want a base of full, thick hair that can move or be sculpted into a style without falling flat after a few hours. The incredible rayon particles in FULL AGAIN allow me to do this instantly.”
- Kevin Murphy


Infused with essential oil of Amyris and Elemi, this weightless lotion will 
thicken hair, providing natural movement and body!
Rayon particles create a thicker surface making fine hair act thicker.



  

At Urban Retreat Spa and Salon
we have experienced stylists
that can help give you that 
beautiful full hair you want.
With the help of Full Again,
they work wonders!



Don't feel like doing it yourself?

and let us do all the work.

Fantastic Benefits of Urban Retreat's services


   Finding the time to take care of yourself
often feels like it's a luxury. 

   In reality many of Urban Retreat's services
have several benefits that will improve your quality of life and alleviate stress and help you have the energy to take care of all that you have on your 
plate.  

   Urban Retreat Spa & Salon has these wonderful services to offer you! Read all about the practical benefits of all we have to offer you below. Some of the benefits may surprise you!   


IMPROVE YOUR SKIN! 


We offer:
Facials
Chemical Peels
Microdermabrasion

BENEFITS OF CHEMICAL PEELS
1. Many people have chemical peels to reduce 
wrinkles and lines caused by aging, sun damage 
or other factors. 
2. Chemical peels are ideal because they are noninvasive and recovery takes much less time 
than invasive procedures such as face lifts.
3. After a chemical peel, your face will regenerate a new layer of healthy skin.
4. You can knock years off your appearance, since a peel dramatically improves your skins
glow. 



BENEFITS OF MICRODERMABRASION

1. Microdermabrasion is often considered to be 
one of the most convenient cosmetic procedures. It's often referred to as the "lunchtime facial" since it's completed in under an hour.
2. It is almost entirely painless and non-surgical. 
3. Microdermabrasion aims to rejuvenate and revitalize the skin, as well as increase collagen production (to create a youthful look)
4. It has the potential to improve the skin by eliminating or control skin problems such as large pores, clogged pores, dull skin, congested skin, skin with excess oil, fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, poor skin texture, brown spots and skin discoloration.

      NOTE: What you may not know...
Microdermabrasion has some wonderful benefits that aren't necessarily associated with the external appearance. It can improve the lymph flow and the circulation, which strengthens the skin's internal health. 





BENEFITS OF MASSAGE THERAPY

1. Lessens stress and anxiety
2. Increase joint flexibility
3. Promote tissue regeneration, reducing
scar tissue and stretch marks
4. Pumps oxygen and nutrients into
tissues and vital organs, 
improving circulation
5. Relaxes and softens injured, tired
and overused muscles
6. Releases endorphins, amino acids 
that work as the body's natural painkiller
7. Relieves headaches and migraine pain




 BENEFITS OF LASER HAIR REMOVAL

1.Precision: Lasers can selectively target dark coarse hairs while leaving the surrounding skin undamaged.
2. Speed: Each pulse of the laser takes a fraction of a second and can treat many hairs at the same time. The laser can treat an area approximately the size of a quarter every second.
3. Predictability: 90% of patients have permanent hair loss after an average of three to five sessions.





BENEFITS OF WAXING

1. Waxing removes hair from the root, so it takes a longer time for hair to grow again depending on the individual 
2. No skin damage. In contrast to other methods of hair removal like hair removing creams and shaving, waxing does not cause cuts, pigmentation, or badly smelling skin. 
3. Finer and Softer Body Hair: The hair that grows after waxing is of a finer and softer variety, not rough and hard as after shaving.
4. And the best part! No ugly stubble the day after!






BENEFITS OF MANICURES/PEDICURES

1. Think it's just a luxury to get a manicure or pedicure? Think again. Many people will admit to feeling a relief in their stress levels that makes it beneficial to their quality of life.
2. Having your nails taken care of regularly prevents annoying hangnails and keeps away awful intruders such as fungus.
3. Manicure products can hydrate and exfoliate the skin on your hands and surrounding your nails. 
4. Inexpensive! You don't have to spend a lot of money to get your nails done. Treat yourself today!

WE OFFER OTHER WONDERFUL SALON SERVICES
FOR YOU TO ENJOY AND PAMPER YOURSELF...





BENEFITS OF PERMANENT MAKE-UP
1. Perfect for anyone who desires freedom and convenience from daily makeup application. 
2. Look sensational without having to reapply makeup throughout the day.
3. Helpful to those who are physically incapable or having difficulty applying makeup.
4. Helpful to those who may have sensitivity or allergies to conventional makeup. 
5. Helps accentuate your facial features. Add drama to your eyes to make them more open or lifted. 
6. Contour and feather natural looking eyebrows to look like your refreshed. 
7. Define your lip line and add fullness to your lips or give balance to uneven lips. Provides lip color that complements your skin and hair tones to wake up your face.
