Mothers Day 2021 Gift Ideas

Mothers Day is already this weekend!

Moms deserve to be acknowledged and appreciated for all the hard work they do all year long! Whether you see your mom every day, or once a month, make this Mothers Day special by doing one or all of the following tips.  They are easy and will come from the heart!

Top 6 Ideas For Mothers Day 2021

1. Go for a picnic

 Who needs a noisy brunch (even though restaurants are closed) when you can set the mood enjoying a pleasant picnic instead?  Whether it’s in a serene garden setting or your very own backyard, mom is sure to feel loved on Mother’s day.

2. Make her a home cooked Mothers day meal

Making your mom stay out of her kitchen is sometimes a difficult task. While you prepare cook and clean up afterwards, mom can just sit back and relax.  There’s no better way to get a smile on mom’s face on Mother’s day.

3. Bake her some cookies

It might sound cliché but baking your mom some cookies would be fun!  Get your apron out and your oven mitts on and bake away the afternoon.  Your mom will get a tasty treat and the whole house will smell like fresh baking.  Just don’t forget to clean up the messy evidence!

4. Make mom a flower garden

 Go to your local nursery and choose a variety of colored flowers to create a beautiful masterpiece.  Plant them in a hanging planter or a rustic ceramic pot, mom will `be reminded of Mother’s day every time she sees them.

5. Allow mom some time for herself

 If you are an older sibling, then taking the younger ones off her hands for a break would give mom some time to herself.  All mom’s could use some extra time in their day, why not help her relax on Mother’s day!  You can take the little ones to buy mom some flowers or everyone can work on some homemade cards.

6. Pamper her with a Pino’s Spa Package!

If all else fails and you’ve simply run out of time, pamper mom with a luxurious spa package from Pino’s Salon & Medispa.  Starting at just $113, your mom can enjoy some hard earned undisturbed time to herself.

This Mothers Day, give mom the gift of renewal, recharge and relaxation.

 Surprise her now, pamper her later…

As soon as our spa re-opens we will provide her with the utmost attention and care. Select a result oriented spa package, where your mom can be relaxed while recharging her body & soul or select a series of treatments for pure relaxation.

You can also purchase a gift card for any dollar amount and simply let mom choose to enjoy once our spa re-opens.

We can definitely all agree that this would be a year for renewing and resetting ourselves and who else better to start with than our moms?

Beat The Skindemic!

By now it is safe to say we are all pretty tired of wearing our masks right? Of course we are! Since we know this will have to continue until who knows when, we’ve been learning to accept it. Although the masks protects us, they can really irritate our skin and in turn cause acne. This is why a new term has evolved in the name of “maskne” (mask-related acne).

Lets Get Technical

When you breathe or talk, your mask tends to trap in a lot of hot air. Besides being annoying, this air creates a warm, humid environment — and an ideal setting for yeast, bacteria and other flora, such as demodex (types of skin mites that naturally live on our skin), to grow. These bacterial imbalances and friction from your mask can promote acne and rosacea flare-ups as well as something called perioral dermatitis. This is when fine pimples and pustules appear around the nose and mouth.

Makeup or Facial Hair?
As long as you are not heavy handed with your application, applying makeup is fine. Topical treatments and sunscreen can help calm and balance the normal skin flora. A layer of moisturizer (lighter if you are oily or acne prone and thicker if you have sensitive or eczema-prone skin) or even a sunblock that contains zinc or titanium can help your skin by serving as a barrier against any friction or irritation that develops. For the guys with beards or moustaches it can be quite difficult to prevent the warmth from creating moisture under the mask. Thats why we recommend using a toner with alpha hydroxy acid to freshen your skin and prevent problems. Make sure to let your skin and facial hair dry off before putting your mask back on.

Book-In Your Maskne Facial

We are now providing a treatment facial specifically designed to take care of maskne! If this is something that is getting out of control for you or if you simply want to be proactive to prevent maskne, call (5195788898) or email us (reception@pinosalon.com) to book an appointment with one of our professionals.

We are Reopening!

 

We have been restructuring our schedule and the way we operate to accommodate the strict guidelines in this post-pandemic. Just as we are perfectionists with our crafts at Pino’s, we are determined to strive for perfection in disinfection and cleaning procedures so you will stay comfortable and safe as our guests.

Here are things that you should know and might notice during your “post quarantine visit”:

  • Masks are mandatory for all clients and staff at all times (We have extra masks and other necessary social distancing shields)
  • All beverages are suspended until further notice
  • We cannot accept walk-ins at this time (please call and book for proper screening)
  • Every service provider at Pino’s has been certified under the Professional Barbacide Sanitation Course
  • Although we were quite meticulous with our general salon & spa cleaning we have kicked it into 6th gear with disinfecting procedures
  • As you enter the the salon we will have the necessary screening methods at our sanitation station
  • We have our social distancing measurements in place (client-client and client-service provider distancing)
  • Extended our appointment times to take care of disinfecting procedures in between each client (tools, chairs, disposable capes, etc..)
  • In order to keep the numbers down in our salon, please avoid bringing along friends or family to your appointments at this time

 

We are very excited to be back at what we do and can’t wait to see our lovely clients!

Thank you,

Pino’s Salon Team
