Spotlight-Rituals Salon & Spa

Rituals is a full service Aveda Concept Salon & Day Spa. The salon  menu reflects services for men or women powered by Aveda products.  Rituals provides a full complement of hair, nail, massage, waxing, skin care and makeup services.

Rituals invites guests in for a tour of the salon and spa.  The salon is spacious, bright and relaxing. The spa offers 5 treatment rooms including a relaxing couples suite and a wet room for body scrubs.  The nail room boasts 4 pedicure spa thrones and several manicure stations. Rituals is ready for the individual or for larger parties. Couples treatments include dual massage, facials and pedicures. Bridal parties love the nail area for their pre wedding preparations. Rituals tends to be a place where people bring their friends and  out of town guests for a little Leominster relaxation.

Debbie Sayles  has been a hairstylist since 1980. Her family moved from New Jersey in 1997 and  are proud to call central Massachusetts their home.  Deb’s interest in the environment and hairstyling fused when she purchased Rituals in 2003.

Rituals is proud to be an Aveda Concept Salon & Spa. Many people, upon first walking into the salon remark, “It smells good in here.”  Kaycie credits Aveda with providing the freshest, brightest plant based oils. Those oils provide not only that great aroma but also practical results that can be seen in their luminous hair color and refreshing  skin care treatments.

Aveda is a leading personal care and beauty products company. From their ingredient and energy sourcing practices to their plant powered hair and skin formulations  and their revolutionary recycling program Aveda strives to create great products that do not come at the expense of the environment.

The team of 25 licensed hairstylists, estheticians, nail technicians and massage therapist create a friendly atmosphere for their guests. While each bring their unique gifts to their trade, the team is constantly attending workshops and training sessions. Debbie remarks that she has never seen salon staff so eager to learn. “There is always someone going to a class”. Recent training sessions included  foiling, color, waxing, reflexology, elemental nature, anti aging  facials and massage techniques. Several hairstylists will be heading to New York City and Minneapolis in the next few months for advanced training classes. Rituals believes that continuing education is a major factor in their success.

Along with their ability to provide quality services, the Rituals team is active in the community. On August 18 Rituals participated in Ladies Night Out. They created  hair styles and makeup looks for some of the models in the fashion show.  Rituals is a member of the Leominster Small Business Association and often participates in the Leominster Strolls and  Festival of Trees.

As many businesses in the area were struggling through the recent economical slump Rituals was going strong. Last May Rituals moved from the downtown area to a brand new facility just a mile down Central St. The new salon and spa’s design was created especially for Rituals and gave them more space to accommodate their many guests.

The complete service menu can be found on the web site www.ritualsspa.com. Or find Rituals on FaceBook and see  some of the many styles and makeup looks that they have created.

Health tip from Curves – What’s your hurry

Health tip – What’s your hurry

In our go-go-go culture it’s tough to find time to enjoy a leisurely meal.  But when we don’t take time to savor each bite, we may be sabotaging our healthy efforts, according to recent research.  Elissa Epel, PhD, a researcher on stress-eating at the University of California, San Francisco, says that those who scarf down meals—even healthy ones—tend to eat bigger portions and have more belly fat. She hypothesizes that slowing down and paying attention to feelings of fullness may help lower cortisol levels and decrease the amount of food you eat.
