There are 5 “languages of love” according to a book by the same name, and they are quality time, gift giving, touch, encouragement and acts of service.

This Mother’s Day, you can give the Mom in your life an anti-aging facial using a professional products and tool kit, right in the comfort of her home. You will have step by step instructions to make it easy for you and she will love the time and attention as well as the beautiful way her skin will look and feel afterward.

Every language of love is touched on here and this Bioelements Anti-Aging Facial Kit is FREE (and gift bag wrapped) with any $100 Gift Card purchased through May 13, 2102. These Facial Kits are also available for $40 a la carte if you wish, so have it your way and enjoy this Mother’s Day in every language!

Have you ever thought about donating a part of yourself for the benefit of a stranger who is in need of that part?

Kids who have lost their hair due to illness, trauma or disease are thrilled when they can put on a whole head of hair again because you made a decision to give up some of your hair for them.  Wigs are made from your donated hair and are  provided free of charge  through the efforts of  Locks of Love .  Buckets of braids and ponytailed hair are regularly filled at Octagon and shipped to Locks of Love all year through.

If you are donating at least 10 inches of hair on  any Monday through Thursday in February, your  Locks of Love haircut is FREE (Free haircuts are with participating stylists only, so please be sure to request one of them!)

If your  ponytail length is shorter than 10 inches, it does not yet qualify for the free haircut BUT you can still donate your hair any day of the week!  We will bundle your ponytail that is at least 6 inches long and happily  add it to our treasure chest of hair .

On behalf of the kids who will be wearing your hair, a big hug goes out  to you and to your stylist who donates her time and talent every February for Locks of Love.

Some things will never change.  It all began in 1984 with the hopes and dreams of a single person, Janelle Koncan Nagy. Today Octagon Salon & Spa is a team of fifty-plus bright and talented people who share a passion for bringing health and beauty to our world. Relationships and powerful connections with their guests  define Octagon Salon & Spa’s success. It is Janelle Nagy’s never-ending energy and inspiration that drive the creative process of all their artists.

OctagonSalon & Spa stylists have dedicated countless hours of continuing education after licensing to train with some of the best in the beauty and wellness  industries. Besides styling top runway models at NYC Fashion Week,  Director of Education Evie Peterson oversees a well developed program which assures every guest of their service provider’s high level of ability and  commitment.

Octagon’s Certified Hair Extension team is headed up by Natalie Cerone,  resulting in Octagon’s work being regularly showcased in Passion International and Inspire Hair Fashion Stylebooks. Beautiful, natural looking hair addition solutions are blended so well that they are undetectable and comfortable to wear.  For so many women, this is a dream come true.

Men and women alike enjoy the professional touch of  the  Octagon Spa Team who help people of all ages to  improve their lives through skincare, nail grooming, stress relief and relaxation. Upon entering the bamboo themed spa area, four heated, reclining pedicure thrones invite guests to lie back and soak their hard working feet in luxury.  Hair removal experts shape brows and remove unwanted face and body hair with a gentle, warm soy based product that wraps around each hair – not to the skin – for the most comfortable, smoothing experience possible.

Skin care and relaxation are high on the “most wanted”  list.  Spa guests  rave about theknowledgeable, skilled touch and excellent bedside manner that keep them coming back for more.  The accomodations are clean, warm and quiet and the treatment tables lower to provide easy access for guests with special needs.  Stress is melted away as massage and facial treatments are personalized to address every concern.  Spa services are delivered in a comfortable, safe environment where draping protocols are always followed for modesty and privacy.

Giving back is pleasure for the team at Octagon Salon & Spa.  They participate in charitable events such as St. Baldericks, where a team of stylists shave heads to raise funds used to fight childhood cancer,  serve meals at the Pads homeless shelter and donate job interview haircuts to the unemployed.

Octagon Salon & Spa is both a fashion forward oasis and a force for good in the community.  Their 27 year reputation for operating with honesty and integrity is worth its weight in gold.
