MIRACLE AESTHETIC CLINIC
Induldge in the (3 in 1) facial treatment using the new Diamond Oxyderm Fusion Machine. Basically, it’s a variety of crystals (diamonds, crystals & organics) that are used to clean, mask & peel the skin surface. Using the machine implement over the skin in short sweeps, it will also infuse the skin with oxygen that will plump the skin. One of the doctors on staff actually ‘works’ the machine, while the remainder of the facial is carried out by a beauty therapist, using Oxygen Botanical products from Canada. This fabulous new firming & stimulating treatment sensation will provide you with an ‘instant miracle’. Have one the day of a special date and every month thereafter!

SPOILED HAIRDRESSERS
This Salon is a little out of the main action but oh so lovely (a get away haunt for the rich & famous?! But also for regular people like you and me) Situated in the small village in Umalas, if you don’t drive, the taxis know. Hair color specialists they are, loads of ‘blondes’ in all shades from highlighting to all over. Redheads come to life here at Spoiled and the Raven beauties simply sit, while many look in awe at their shiny tresses. Manicures, pedicures (OPI nail color) eyelash/brow tinting (great to accent eyes for blondes & mouse browns) to luscious crème baths for your head & shoulders. Again, this salon do alot of work with Wedding/Event organizers, so if you have a special ‘do’ in mind, give Max a call. Jl Umalas 2 No 90, Umalas, T: 847 5141
GLO DAY SPA
Now, a sunless tan is perfect for those wearing strappy, backless dresses! Check out the St. Tropez tan a super popular procedure easy – the most important aspect is to exfoliate your skin first, ideally when you rise in the morning, scrub your body well under the shower. When you arrive at the salon, the therapist will discuss the color tone you wish to achieve (colors can be mixed to the desired tone) strip down (paper underwear is provided) & the tanning procedure begins, taking about an hour. It’s advisable to wear dark clothes after a treatment, just in case a little of the color rubs off. Try not to shower for 8 hrs after the treatment, the color will set completely & will last about one week (perfect for your August holiday). You can then go back to the salon for a ‘top up’ There is also Spray Tanning, in different shades from Extreme, then Machiato to Shimmer (the ones for Brides & for a special event) Manicures & Pedicures are very popular here, along with their number one treatment Waxing for all-over body smooth!!!

BALI BOTANIC DAY SPA
Enjoy an Ayurvedic Massage (Chakra Dhara) a treatment that lasts two & a half hours. I am sure we all understand the seven Chakra points within the body, that is – key energy points that are universal. (All who inhabit physical bodies on this earth have energy vortexes – channels through which spiritual energy flow to manifest in the physical) The Ayurvedic Chakra Dhara Massage is both sensual and spiritual, it includes the dripping of a fair amount of warm herbal oil onto the charka points – this oil ritual is to balance the energy flow, and to purify the body, mind and spirit & would probably be the most holistic experience one can have. Lots of other Spa treatments to smooth out the body & provide you with a great experience.

RITUALS, SALON CAFÉ & SPA
Applying hair extensions is a fairly lengthy process however, if you want thicker or/and longer hair then like so many other beautifying treatments, you just have to make the time. The process is quite straight forward , once the color of hair extensions has been agreed upon, it’s a matter of separating some of the natural hair, then applying the hot tong to afix (with a glue) the hair extension. You can keep the extensions in for months, but of course your own hair will grow & down the track you will see the need to have them removed & re-applied. Not only natural shades to highlight your own hair but for funky, fun & mad occasions you can have a few/or as many as you like - bright orange, green, blue, pink & yellow extensions applied to your own hair, how mad is this!!! Mani/Pedis, Wedding & Spa packages available too. Jl Legian No 476, Legian, T: 755 926
