Our days are filled  with deadlines, dealing with children negotiating their way out of eating their vegetables, cleaning the house after the little nuclear bombs have gone to bed, peak hour traffic, slow internet, bad hair days and in-laws. At the end of it all your head, neck and shoulders feel like they’re made of concrete and all you want to do is lie down in a no-man’s land where mankind can’t get to you. Feel human again with a head, neck and shoulder massage and a pampering foot paraffin wax treatment at Jean’s Hair and Beauty for R99.

Headaches are due to tension of the muscles in your head and neck which needs to be relieved often to ensure sanity is maintained. Even when shoulders are not carrying a literal weight, with today’s stresses it could feel like you’re permanently carrying a ton of bricks on them. You need to unwind the knots and de-stress the muscles.

Aromatherapy massages are when soothing oils are massaged into your stressed tendons, relaxing them and loosening the vice-grip of tension. The therapists at Jean’s Hair & Beauty do this well and aim to change your mood and outlook on traffic and slow internet. Suddenly those rage-filling activities become easier to deal with, and there is more peace in your world.

Just when you thought a massage would be the ultimate in letting loose. Jean’s Hair and Beauty will then take your battered feet and restore them to their revitalized selves. Your feet will be dipped into warm liquid paraffin which stimulates circulation and relieves aching feet. Paraffin wax treatments are particularly beneficial for those suffering with joint pain. The warm wax hardens and the foot many be dipped again to create layers of warmth and moisture.

Once the paraffin wax is peeled off, the feet are massaged and treated, leaving them relaxed on the inside and feeling soft and silky on the outside.

The therapists at Jean’s Hair and Beauty are truly the magical fairies of stress relief, they should have towns named after them, and public holidays should be created in their honour.

Did you know: People who spend their lives at the airports are the most stressed. The reason being, when they’re stressed in a plane, they’re more highly stressed than those of us on land. For those not flying, stress can be relieved through blowing into a tissue.
