Skin Care Rocks...

Lots of clients ask about the music they hear in the treatment room. I tired of "spa sounds" ages ago and when I made the decision to go on my own it felt natural to incorporate my love for music somehow. I'm always looking for new music and artists. I also love it when a client asks about an artist that they hear. Yesterday during a brow and lash tint, it was "hey, is that Rufus Wainright?" And, hey....you know what? It was. So I had an immediate connection with that client that took us beyond the service that was being performed.

Anyway, I have started making mix CDs to give out to clients. And I welcome clients to reciprocate. If there is something that you've heard and love, please bring it with you to your next appointment. There is so much great music out there. I try to do my best to keep up but it's nice to get recommendations. Two of the artists on this mix were referrals from a friend. The rest is all stuff that I hear around...mostly on KCRW, which is pretty much all I listen to when I am home. Most of the sounds that you'll hear in my room and on mix discs are what I call "chick-centric." It's moody and sultry and sex and fun...I'll try to make these mixes about 60 minutes, the same length as my Skin Therapy facial.
