Bella Vita is in Top 200 nationally for growth

REVIEW THIS SPA NOW

Bella Vita Salon and Day Spa, Osgood St., has been awarded as one of the “Top 200 Fastest Growing Salons in the USA.”

Chosen by Salon Today magazine, the Vogue Magazine of the beauty world, co-owners Cheryl and Giovanni Currao traveled to Chicago this spring to receive the trophy. Cheryl called the experience “humbling.”

Giovanni began what is now Bella Vita back in 1979. He came to America from Sicily at age 15, after having worked in barbershops in his native country from the time he was 9.

“We have grown quite a bit in the past few years,” Cheryl said. “The people we’ve hired and trained are superb, whether it’s in hair styling, waxing, facials, etc. We have a great group of employees that are loyal and hardworking.”

People who come to work for the couple also describe the place as very caring of its staff and customers.

“My husband and I are always at work — we’re family owned — and people that come to work for us always say there’s heart and soul to the place,” Cheryl said.

In fact, when the owners returned from Chicago with the trophy, which has a big star on it, they decided it wasn’t meant to sit on a shelf.

Cheryl instead presented it to an employee who had gone above and beyond her job at the salon. That person kept it a couple weeks at her workstation and then passed it onto a fellow worker they felt deserved it.

“They’re recognized by my husband and I, but to be recognized by a fellow peer also means a lot,” Cheryl said. “We put up a sign in the break room saying who got it and who gave it. The staff gets so excited.”

In other news…

Bella Vita has also begun a recycling program that will reward customers as well as help the environment.

Two assistants came up with the idea and have taken it upon themselves to bring recycling to the North Andover Department of Public Works, Cheryl said.

The salon is also encouraging clients to return product bottles when they’re empty for recycling at a drop-off bin in the lobby. The bottles earn customer credits that add up to dollar amounts off of products and services.

“We’re hoping to cut our waste that goes to the Dumpster by 80 percent,” Cheryl said.

Buffalo Grive spa expands services despite trustees debate

The Buffalo Grove village board has begrudgingly given approval for expanded services at a spa run by the park district, but not before several trustees expressed disappointment.

The measure passed unanimously, but several trustees made it known that was only due to the way the agreement was written and not because they agreed with the proposal.

Some board members on Monday said they felt the park district was infringing on the profits of local businesses by competing with them.

The park district requested the addition of waxing and eyelash-tinting services at Vitality Spa.

However, Trustee Jeff Braiman said the village runs a restaurant, which competes with others in the area.

“We do similar things. We have a golf course,” he said.

Park district Director Mike Rylko said other medically run clinics offer similar services and the spa wants to be on the same level as them.

The spa already offers therapeutic massage, manicure and pedicures.

He said the clients of the spa, which is run by Northwest Community Healthcare employees and is owned by the district inside the Fitness Center, also asked for the additional services.

“It shouldn’t be a double standard,” he said, referring to the village’s restaurant.

However, Trustee Bruce Kahn, who abstained from voting on the issue, said the spa was billed as therapeutic.

“I didn’t like it when it first came before us. I don’t like it any more now,” he said. “It’s not about therapy; it’s about a revenue stream.”

He said more residents have commented about this issue to him than any other in the past month and he said it’s not fair that the park district competes against businesses that have a spa as their only livelihood.

“People have asked me, ‘So what’s next? Hair cuts?’” he said on Tuesday.

Two spa owners made their case for not allowing the expansion of services in May when the issue was first up for discussion.

Marilyn Wagner, owner of Best Salon & Spa in Buffalo Grove, said the park district hasn’t affected her business yet but that waxing is a significant portion of how she makes her money.

Warren Michaels, owner of Michael Thomas Hair Salon & Day Spa in town, said he and other spa owners don’t have the option to diversify like the park district does.

The issue riled Kahn so much that he resigned his Fitness Center membership earlier in the week because he didn’t want to support the park district if it was challenging local businesses.

“I understand the therapeutic nature of massage, but when it starts coming into manicures and pedicures, I just didn’t agree with them,” he said. “I don’t think they should be in direct competition with 20-plus other businesses in town.”

Trustee DeAnn Glover agreed, saying she was extremely disappointed in the park district for continually asking for more services. She said, in her opinion, the request may comply with the special use, but it doesn’t go with the spirit of the agreement.

“This was all supposed to be therapeutic,” she said. “I thought it was stretching it for nails.”

Glover said that from now on, she would be more critical of any requests coming from the district.

In the end, the trustees conceded that the issue was of zoning and not of regulating the business the park district chooses to go into.

“We need to adhere to the requirements of special use,” Braiman said. “I think it does comply.”

 Spavelous spas are not having the same downward challenges of other spas?  Why, because Spavelous markets you .  We keep you up front in the search engines, we keep the spa goer up to date with your promotions.  The spas that are having problems are the spas that feel that spending less then a cup of coffee a week for an internet presence is too much.    Perhaps weeding these spas out is the best for the spa industry, because if they are not willing to spend $1.50 a week on marketing, then they are also not willing to spend money on training and developing their staff.

 

The trend as the spa industry moves forward with the general public will place an emphasis on the service provider, their training and certification .  No longer will a spa goer just book a spa service, they will review the credentials of the service provider first.  Therapists and Aestheticians will welcome this change.     It will be a win win for the consumer, and the spa industry.  Quality is key.

4 Important Principles to Implement in Your Business

 

1. The Day Spa, Salon or Massage Practice doesn’t start until you make the first Sale..

Your Day Spa, Salon or Massage Practice is a business, of course, you are giving quality spa treatments, hair care and massage and are looking out for the needs of your clients but the business is what pays your bills. You need to make sure that you are getting care & treatment acceptance (sales) in order to keep your business running.

 

2. Take a Diversified Approach to Marketing your Spa or Salon

Business…

Doing multiple things at a time is where you are going to find a huge return on investment. You need to be hitting your clients with several different materials to keep you on the forefront of their minds.

 

3. Do Niche specific Spa Marketing...

Market to specific niches so that you are appealing directly to their needs. For example: if you want to do laser treatment then you are going to want to Market directly to people who are going to need laser treatment.

 

4. The Pareto Principle 80% of your success comes from 20% of your resources…

Most of the success and satisfaction you get in your career will come from a small portion of your skills and efforts. Ask Yourself  “Where am I getting the most the benefit from?” and compare that to where you are putting in the most work
