Our massage therapists at Glamvie rank as some of the most highly regarded professionals in the city. Come in and relax the body and mind while restoring your health and wellness.

Hot Stone MassageThe Hot Stone Massage originated when Native Americans heated stones to treat aching muscles. Our Hot stone massage is a specialty massage where our therapist uses smooth rounded basalt stones (a black volcanic rock that absorbs and retains heat well) that are heated in water then lubricated in essential oils and applied to the body. The heat can be both deeply relaxing and help warm up tight muscles allowing the massage therapist to work more deeply.

Swedish Massage

Swedish Massage is one of the most common massages to get. Its well suited for people who are getting a massage for the first time or don’t get massages often. The primary goal of the Swedish massage is to relax the whole body. The therapist will lubricate the skin with massage oil and perform various massage strokes. This helps warm up the body and release tension to break up the “knots”.

ReflexologyReflexology is an alternative medicine involving application of pressure to the feet and hands with specific thumb, finger, and hand techniques. Reflexology massage can be a deeply relaxing and therapeutic option for those suffering from plantar fasciitis, ankle injuries or even everyday work and play.

Head Massage

Most of us carry our stress in our head, shoulders and/or neck. Head massage techniques are a combination of different strokes, pressure points and the right positioning. When you massage the head you can relieve overall tension in the body.

Whichever massage you choose – you won’t be disappointed. Call to book you’re appointment today to get pampered! 718 . 743 . 2374

Here are a few ways (and products we use) to get sexy!

Refresh Your SkinExfoliating your skin should be a part of your skin care regime at least 2 times a week. It is important to exfoliate because it removes dead skin cells making skin more radiant, helps clear acne and breakouts, as well as evening out your skin tone. To achieve this goal we like to use Guinot Biological Peeling Radiance Gel. It is an exfoliating gel with natural fruit acids and green tea, this product gently removes dead skin cells on all skin types, even sensitive.

Smooth, Glowing SkinReplace your body lotion with a scented body oil. Our favorite by Moroccainoil is a shimmering body oil that instantly infuses skin with a deeply nourishing blend of antioxidant-rich argan and sesame oils. Soft pearlescent minerals shimmer for a radiant look and feel.

Lengthen Your LashesGet dramatic length and curl with bareMinerals Flawless Definition Curl & Lengthen Mascara. The dual-length bristles of the full curl wand lift lashes up and back, while the long-wearing formula holds the curl in place. Lashes get instant body-shaping results.

Set the scene for romance with Bond No.9 Chinatown.Notes of peach blossoms, gardenia, tuberose, patchouli, cardamom. A sweet and soft feminine smell in a cute pink bottle!

Biologique Recherche Lotion P50 balancing exfoliator has just been deemed ‘Jesus in a Bottle’ by nymag.com.

What is Lotion P50? Some people call it a lotion and some a toner, however, it’s merely a clear liquid that exfoliates and balances all skin types.

Lotion P50 should be the start of your skincare routine. It speeds up the skins natural exfoliating process by gently regulating the skins oil secretion. It’s also used to help maintain the skins pH levels. Should be used morning and night by saturating a moistened cotton pad and applying it to the face, neck and cleavage. Allow the P50 to penetrate into the skin before applying your next skin care product.

We all like to think that the customer is always right, but sometimes, they can be a little wrong. Salons want to make sure that you have the best experience possible.

Think Long Term

Sometimes your desired result may not be achievable with just one visit to the salon. Drastic changes, such as going from dark hair to light hair or a special color treatment may take more than one sitting. Discuss with the stylist how you want your hair to eventually look. Not every transformation is attainable the first time around. Consult with your stylist to understand the process involved before you begin and they can recommend a hair regime that will give you the best chance of achieving the look you want.

Show Up Dirty

Stylists like to see your typical hair routine. For a color appointment clean hair will absorb color most uniformly. Dirty hair often contains patches of grease, product buildup and dry ends. When hair is clean, color doesn’t have to penetrate through anything in the roots.

Be Honest

Honesty is the best policy. Throughout your hair appointment the stylist might ask you questions about your hair and how the appointment is going. If you don’t like the way something turned out, don’t grin and bear it only to break down when you get home – address your concerns. We suggest you tell your stylist you’re unhappy with the way your hair turned out. Let them know what it is that you’re unhappy with; too short, not enough color, too much color, be specific as possible.

You’re NOT the same person as in the pictureJust because you bring in a picture of a celebrity whose hair you admire, for example, Jennifer Aniston we want you to keep in mind that you are not her and that means your hair will not look identical to hers. Pictures are great and the stylists will do their best to get as close to the image as possible, but PLEASE have realistic expectations. Everyone’s hair is different as well as face shape. What looks good on one person will not look good on another. Every look is not attainable for every person. Ask your stylist for a consult on what will work best for your hair and face shape. They want you to enjoy their work, so don’t be shy – speak up!

Summer can take a toll on your hair, ie: chlorine, sun and salt water. To restore life into your hair, try a hair mask. The best way to use a mask is to apply it to towel-dried hair after shampooing. Massage it into the scalp and comb it all the way through, allowing it to absorb for at least 20 minutes. When you’re ready to rinse, do so. Below are some of our favorite miracle working hair masks that get us through the summer.

Who has time to wash and dry their hair, every.single.day? Thank goodness for dry shampoo, the extraordinary invention that gets rid of greasy roots, adds volume and texture, as well as eliminates the need for you to wash your hair everyday! Dry shampoos absorb excess oils produced by the scalp, leaving hair feeling clean and refreshed. Below are tips and tricks on how to use a dry shampoo as well as some of our favorite picks!

Find a dry shampoo that is right for your hair.

The worst thing you can do for yourself is end up with residue and white color on your roots. If you have color treated hair, find a product that suites your hair color. Our favorite pick is Bumble and Bumble A Tint Of Brown Hair Powder

This hair powder will work best for chocolate, mahogany and chestnut brunette color. Ideal for oily (or not so clean) hair, styling fine hair and root touch-ups. Hold can 10-12 inches from dry hair; spray thoroughly, concentrating on oily areas; let dry; brush out thoroughly and style.

Make sure your hair is dry!

If your hair is still wet and/or damp the formula in the product will not absorb and may cause clumping and we definetley do not want that!

BlowPro ‘Faux Dry’ Dry Shampoo instantly transforms dull, limp locks with Blow’s exclusive pure protein blend of amaranth, lupine and wheat. Faux Dry cleanses hair, absorbs excess oil with micronized corn starch and instantly volumizes at the roots without weighing down locks.

When your product is not in use, the particles that make your hair look fabulous settle at the bottom of the can. Shake it up, baby!

DevaCurl No-Poo Quick Cleanser Cleanse your curls without being anywhere near water. This conditioning spray instantly refreshes hair while adding texture to curls and invigorating the scalp.

Give it a minute. Dry shampoos take a few minutes to absorb, so give it a few minutes before you touch your hair. If you’re in a time crunch – use heat from the blow dryer to speed up the process.

Kerastase Powder Bluff Dry Shampoo for Instant Texture and Volume is an aerosol spray powder that infuses texture and body with exceptional softness and no white residue. Helps absorb oil for lasting blow dries.

Blend it in, style and be on your way! Gently rub the product into your scalp so that excess product can be absorbed. Its best to run a brush through your hair so you can distribute the product evenly.

Nothing feels worse than being all dolled up and getting caught in a rainstorm when walking out the door. Here are a few tips (and products we like to use) to keep your hair and makeup in top shape during these pesky April rain showers.

Pull your hair back! When the weather isn’t cooperating with your regular hair styling regime, opt to wear your hair in a sleek chic bun or slicked back in a ponytail. If you don’t like to pull back your hair just make sure you use a styling product that will control frizz!

Bumble and Bumble Defrizz

This defrizz serum does just that, defrizz! It acts as a barrier to humidity and will leave your hair soft, silky and flyaway free!

Moroccanoil Luminous Hairspray

This hairspray offers long lasting, strong and flexible hold without leaving a sticky residue. It doesn’t weigh hair down and provides a shiny finish that fights frizz and humidity.

Waterproof your eyes! Use waterproof mascara and eyeliner to prevent your eye makeup from melting in the rain. If they do get wet, don’t rub because it will cause smudging and no body wants to walk around with raccoon eyes!

Smashbox Full Exposure Waterproof Mascara

We love this mascara because its sweat and humidity resistant, plus it stays put for 10 hours! Remove with waterproof makeup remover.

Your hands are one of the first places to show signs of aging, so why not take care of them. Using a hand cream is the best way to repair and restore damaged hands, assuring you that they not only look younger but feel softer too. The skin on the back of your hands is much different than the skin on your palms. The skin on top of your hands is thinner compared to your palms and can become dry very quickly. The skin on your palms is a lot thicker, so for moisture to penetrate this area a hand cream needs to be rich and full of moisture binding ingredients.

Aveda hand relief moisturizing creme is the holy grail of hand creams for Glamvie staff and clients. Its intense moisture therapy soothes seriously dry hands-leaving them noticeably softer and smoother. Andiroba oil and other plant hydrators protect skin’s moisture barrier, helping seal in softness through three hand washes.

Moroccanoil Treatment leaves our hair silky, healthy, shiny and full of life. It is an essential foundation for hairstyling that can be used as a conditioning, styling and finishing tool.

Oribe Grandiose Hair Plumping Mousse

We hate when mousse leaves our hair stiff and crunchy, but Oribe Grandiose does the opposite! Each luxe pouf gives hair an exaggerated sense of body and structure, without the slightest hint of crunch. All-day memory leaves styles supremely soft yet set, for hair that’s thicker, fuller, larger than life.

Moroccanoil® Hydrating Styling Cream is a lightweight, moisturizing formula that creates soft styles for a natural feel. It conditions, hydrates and fights frizz, especially for coarse and dry hair. It adds definition with a soft hold and is essential for creating blow-dried styles. It is also great for taming fly-aways and refreshing day-old styles.

Big Sexy HairPowder Play Volumizing & Texturizing Powder

If you’re looking for a product that is weightless, ordorless and colorless on any hair color than this is for you! It is ideal for instant volume and great for adding texture. Hair absorbs the product because it goes from powder to liquid instantly.

We hope that some of these are your favorites as well. Stop by GLAMVIE to pick up your products today!

A lot of our clients ask what the difference is between all the latest hair color trends. Ombrè, Sombre and Color Melt .. Oh My.

What is Ombrè?Ombrè has been an extremely popular color trend over the past few years. Ombrè hair color is generally darker at the roots through the mid-shaft and then gets gradually lighter from the mid-shaft to the ends. It is ideal for clients that are looking for a low-maintenance style.

What is Sombre?Sombre, also known as the “subtle ombrè” is the up and coming hair trend. Instead of having drastic colors paired together, sombre incorporates lighter shades in a more natural way. Just like ombrè, sombre is also ideal for any client looking for a low-maintenance style.

What is Color Melt?Color Melt is a technique that gives the client a more sun kissed look. To achieve this look, your colorist will “melt” three colors together to create a sleek transition of color. Color Melt will take your hair from bland to beautiful. You can choose any three colors you want and create a style of your own.

This year at New York Fashion week it was hard to not notice the new hair trend; “Naked” hair. Basically naked hair is the slightly disheveled, textured, with some hint of wave look – what hair looks like in its “natural” state. Don’t be fooled. This “effortless” look took a lot of effort from the hair gurus backstage prepping the models. Two of our favorite “naked” looks were achieved by using some of our favorite hair products from Bumble and bumble.

At the Rachel Comey show, hair stylist Jordan M used Bumble and bumble Prep and Bumble and bumble Styling Lotion to thicken this models hair to create subtle waves.

At Todd Snyder, hair stylist Sabrina Michaels created the laid back, everyday style by using Bumble and bumble Surf Spray and Bumble and bumble Sumotech to give hair some direction.
