SERVICE SHOWCASE

It’s time to get those nails looking shiny and new! Here at Oggi Salon & Spa, we not only specialize in manicures and pedicures, but much more! Check out this review on Yelp from Karen F. about our Paraffin Treatment (where we dip your hands or feet into a soft wax for the ultimate joint soother and skin softener) for only $19.

“After that I had a marvelous paraffin manicure with a very excellent nail tech. I loved it! Seriously – the mani lasted about 6 days chip-free. Great products and flawless technique.”

Thanks Karen!

Want to also try something else for that dry, winter skin that includes paraffin? Philly Style Mag highlighted our Comfort Mini-Facial as a “Hydrating Winter Spa Treatment To Try” here in Philly! Come try out the facial, which is “a treatment free of steam and extractions (which can irritate sensitive skin) that includes a warm paraffin mask. Esthetician Brenda Troutman recommends adding a slather of the cell-restoring Guinot’s Age Nutritive Face cream afterward.” Sounds perfect for a January face refresher!

To minimize the risk of irritation and ingrown hairs, avoid wearing tight clothing over newly waxed areas.
Exfoliate the skin 24 to 48 hours after the waxing sessions to prevent the build up of dead skin cells (which can result in ingrown hairs).
Do not expose newly waxed areas to the sun for at least 48 hours after treatments. A good sunblock is also recommended to protect the skin.
Because skin tends to be more sensitive right before and right after your menstrual cycle, waxing can be more painful. Try to avoid scheduling a waxing session 3-4 days before and 3-4 days after your period.
