Life can be very stressful. Being unable to control your stress can, unfortunately, contribute to health issues. Self-care has been a huge topic when it comes to mental health over the past few years. There are many misconceptions, but self-care is about what makes you feel good on the inside and out. A visit to a salon or spa will definitely help you with managing your stress. An estimated 16.5% of consumers in the hair and salon market are between the ages of 25 to 34, according to IBIS World. Here are some benefits to visiting a hair and nail spa.

1. Helps You De-Stress

Salons and spas are the best way to de-stress and calm your mind and body. Whatever treatment you decide to get, you will notice that your mind begins to feel relaxed as soon as you walk through the door. Many beauty salons will ensure that the environment is tranquil by playing relaxing music, keeping the spa's design neutral and calming, and maintaining a sense of positivity and peace.

2. Helps Make Your Skin More Radiant

By taking advantage of the beauty services that most salons and spas offer, a nice facial or skin treatment can make your skin glow, becoming healthy and moisturized over time. Depending on what skin issues you want to focus on, a skincare treatment can deliver your desired results. This can lead to a more confident and glowing appearance!

3. Helps Release Serotonin and Dopamine

Visiting the spa can make you a genuinely happier person! Our bodies benefit from increased levels of serotonin and dopamine when getting things like a massage or any other kind of treatment for our appearance. Serotonin is a chemical produced in the brain that carries messages between your nerve cells throughout your body, which impacts body functions like sleep, digestion, mood, and more. Dopamine plays as a center in your brain that controls body functions like memory, movement, mood, and more. These two chemicals are essential to help with de-stressing and your overall happiness.

If you've been feeling stressed lately, think about visiting a spa to release some of the tension you've been dealing with. Nothing beats feeling a bit happier while also looking your best. For more information on spa services, give Expressions Hair and Nail Salon a call today!
