May is Mental Health Awareness Month and community connection and advocating for help and
guidance are extremely important. DeRiah is here to connect with you on small struggles and big ones – whether it’s a good conversation with one of our stylists while they pamper you or just a little extra TLC during one of our services.
Some studies actually show that participating in activities like getting your hair or nails done boosts mental health by heightening positive emotion, relieving stress and promoting relaxation. This is done through the nurturing physical touch experienced through the services, the relaxing salon environment, conversation and the cultural idea that beauty services are linked to your pride and self-esteem.
Here are some ways you can show yourself some extra love and self care and feel like a million bucks at DeRiah:
Try a new cut or just trim off those dead ends for a confidence boost
Doing something new with your hair can foster excitement and make you feel extra good about yourself. And simply just getting a trim for a cleaned up look can boost your confidence. Either way you’ll be getting pampered and leaving the salon with healthy, smooth, styled hair – just the perfect thing to make you feel good on any day.
Add on a hair color pick me up
We can all agree that a touch up to your hair color is one of the most satisfying feelings. Retouching those grown out roots or going a little lighter for the summer months will make you feel bright and new.
Treat yourself to a facial for ultimate radiance and a deep sense of calm
Lay back, close your eyes, embrace the calming music and take the time to relax while your skin gets treated by one of our experts. Our facial offerings reap so many skin health benefits so you’ll be leaving with healthier, more radiant skin and a sense of relaxation.
We are all beautiful in our own unique way and there’s nothing wrong with enhancing our features. A lash lift and tint for defined lashes 24/7 without the mascara and lash curler. An eyebrow wax and lamination for groomed, pronounced and fuller looking brows. A beauty appointment to enhance the features of your face will give you an extra boost.
Get that well groomed feel with a Mani and Pedi
Doing your nails at home is simply never the same as getting them done at the salon. Honestly, it can leave you more stressed as you strive for perfection and it just never looks the same as when a professional does it. When you get a mani and pedi you get the full experience, a relaxing foot or hand bath, soothing massage and shiny, perfect looking nails that you can’t stop looking at. Regularly seeing you well taken care of nails serves as a reminder that you are taking care of yourself and validates your self-assurance.
All of this is to say that scheduling routine hair, skin, nail and beauty appointments serves as an ongoing accessible form of self care that boosts your mental health. You’ll find yourself mentally recharged and notice improvements in your overall mood.
