Dear Grace,

I am emailing you to let you know what a wonderful & blissful experience I had at Kai today!

You actually booked my appointment for me for a 12 noon head and scalp massage after giving me information on Latisse over the phone.

First, I love your reception area, bright, welcoming, comfortable and unassuming.  I was greeted in a manner where I truly felt welcome.

(I’ve only been to Spa Sydell – and never felt welcome there or that my business was appreciated).

Not the case at Kai!

I really appreciated that there are forms to fill out for medical history AND that the massage therapist truly paid attention and read mine.  I was greeted by Sandra for my head and scalp massage and she was kind enough to spend 5-10 minutes discussing some medical problems that I have had for the past 3 months – I am SO impressed with how in tune she was and that she really wanted me to get the most of out my time at Kai today.

We decided on a 30 minute massage instead of head and scalp only.

Grace, it was the BEST massage I have ever received in my life!!  I love the massage room – so clean and tranquil, warm and soothing. My joints and bones are very sensitive so you can imagine how delighted I was to slip into a heated massage bed with such soft and cozy blankets. I was in heaven!!

The massage itself was perfect – Sandra asked what kind of pressure and I requested light. It was just perfect.  It did not hurt me at all but soothed my mind, body & spirit.

My only regret is that I did not discover you sooner!!  Spa Sydell has been deleted from my cell phone!

I promptly made another appointment with Sandra for a 60 minute massage next Saturday. I can’t wait.

I also received information on Botox from the front desk staff and I will be taking advantage of the special pricing on May 4.

Thank you for taking the time to read my feedback; I am really impressed with all your staff and your beautiful spa! What a breath of fresh air compared to my other spa experiences in the Sandy Springs area.

Warm regards,

Karen

Elizabeth after doing her "happy dance" at kai

Elizabeth after doing her "happy dance" at kai

I was in the Johns Creek store on Thursday and as I was getting ready to leave the store , I saw a lady dancing at the check out counter. I approached her and introduced myself and told her that she looks like she is having fun.

I loved her response back to me, “I am in my happy place when I come here!”

I asked her if it was okay to quote her and put her on our website. She was more than happy to oblige. Here is a picture of Elizabeth in her happy state of mind…There is nothing more rewarding than seeing someone so happy that it makes them dance! And if kai can be a part of that, then we are achieving our goal!

Thank you Elizabeth! Grace, Managing Partner

kai the med spa – RevitaLash and Latisse, making you look younger

A colleague’s wife recently shared with me a story about her friend’s personal quest for eyelash greatness. We all tend to have our own unique “hot-buttons” and for this particular woman, it is her eyelashes. In this gal’s personal quest for “lush, smoky Hollywood eyes” – a term that literally causes her face to light up when she speaks it out loud – previous efforts have included the old school and often difficult to master eyelash curler tool, costly false eyelashes, expensive eyelashes extensions and a plethora of exotic and always ill-performing products purchased from both on the Internet and at department store cosmetic counters. Promises have gone unfulfilled and her eyelash exploits have been the lively topic during her monthly Girls Night Out a time or two.

Good friends don’t let good friends have less than exceptional eyelashes, I say!

I am thrilled to share with our clients 2 products:
1) RevitaLash Eyelash Conditioner.
2) Latisse by makers of Botox.

RevitaLash Eyelash Conditioner
Revitalash Eyelash Conditioner is a cosmetic which was developed by a doctor as a most special gift for his wife while she was recovering from breast cancer. Intensive chemotherapy treatments had taken their toll, leaving his wife’s once beautiful eyelashes sparse, breakable and fragile. Formulated by a team of talented cosmetic chemists and involving extensive research and commitment to bringing a renewed look to one’s eyelashes, a product was created that is simple to use and improves the appearances and enhances your natural eyelashes.

This product is so easy to use. Incorporating it into your evening ritual of removing all make-up and the cleansing of your face, RevitaLash Eyelash Conditioner is applied in a very small amount to your eyelashes (and yes, it can be used on your lower lashes) every evening, until you achieve your desired result. Once you have achieved the desired natural beauty of your eyelashes, I recommend that you apply RevitaLash Eyelash Conditioner two to three times weekly.

An additional benefit for those of us looking to enrich the appearance of our eyebrows, I have received reports from my clients currently using this revolutionary product that when applied to their eyebrows, they are achieving equally successful results in the appearance of their eyebrows.

The entire Kai team and I have been thrilled with the results from Revitalash Eyelash Conditioner. Never has there been a product that is so easy to use for eyelash enhancement which produces such rich, dramatic results! The use of RevitaLash Eyelash Conditioner should not affect your use of mascara, false eyelashes (you’ll be saying good-bye to these soon!) or your permanent make-up.

What a great experience we at kai had in introducing this product to the friend of my colleague’s wife. I am most pleased to report that she is well on her way to having her own “lush, smoky Hollywood eyes” right here in Georgia! She has rid her cosmetic case of her past disappointing products, reduced her morning make-up routine time and now lets her eyelashes speak for themselves at Girls Night Out!

Latisse by Allergan (also makes Botox and Juvederm)

A short bit from their website

It is important to note that RevitaLash Eyelash Conditioner and Latisse are not treatments for any medical conditions.

Stop by one of our three locations in Sandy Springs, Johns Creek or Alpharetta, GA. We will be more than happy to introduce you to RevitaLash Eyelash Conditioner or Latisse. And as always, our staff is available to to answer any questions you have about these products or any of our product lines and services.

I know you will be as pleased with the results as we all have been.

Recent Testimonials from Clients and Kai Team

I met Rachael, Sheri and Grace at the Golf Club of GA. Kai – The Medical Spa was a sponsor of the Mercedes-Benz Member/Guest tournament. They were offering complimentary chair massages, so I decided to get one. I have had impingements on both rotator cuffs, since a snow skiing accident over 25 yrs ago. Needless to say, I was shocked that the pain went away after the 10 mins of massage from Rachael. I was ecstatic! I told all of the golfers and my golf game was much better too. I only wish that I lived here locally, so that I can visit Rachael regularly.

“The Fantasy Tan is the answer to a prayer for brides. Having used other types of spray tans in the past that I wasn’t satisfied with, I, of course, was a little skeptical about testing this out just days before my own wedding. Since I’ve been a client at Kai for more than two years, I trusted their team to give me the natural glow that I wouldn’t have been able to accomplish on my own—in or out of the sun. If you’re fair like me, and can’t seem to find the time to bask in the sun before your wedding, the Fantasy Tan is an easy, quick and affordable solution—a must do on your wedding checklist.”

-Andrea Mickelson

Hi Cari!

Per our conversation yesterday regarding Fraxel results, I would have
to say I noticed immediately after my first treatment, the noticeable difference
in the improvement of lines around my eyes. That was VERY impressive!

See you soon!

-Deanne
I have been a client at Kai at the Johns Creek location since
its opening. The skin care I have received from Kelly is always customized
to my particular needs. I have experienced other spas in my travels to
resorts all over and no true facial has compared to that which Kelly
provides. It is because of her extensive skin care knowledge and her
ability to tailor the treatment to the needs of the customer that I decided
to ask Kelly about laser-hair removal. The process and technique used at
Kai was perfect for me – painless and quick with almost no downtime. I
have recommended it to anyone who will listen. It is truly one of the best
gifts I have ever given myself. I love the combination of treatments I
receive from Kai and the quality and care Kelly shows for her clients.

-Pamela / Johns Creek Customer
There are two things I absolutely love at kai. From a procedure point of view, the Fraxel has produced the most effective results I have seen. I have struggled with acne a large portion of my life, which had left some scarring behind. Yes, I said HAD just after two months of my first Fraxel treatment all the scarring on my right cheek was gone!

From a product stand point, after two day of use of the TNS essential serum, I received four compliments on my skin. I ended up buying one for my mom. The first morning she used it she text me later that day with, “Is it possible to see results after just one use?” This is a must buy!

“I have had two Fraxel treatments and the results are amazing! I no longer have acne scarring, it helped my fine lines, wrinkles, pore size and the collagen production has firmed my face and neck.”
-cathy dignan
I have been client of kai for the past four years prior to joining the management team in April, 2009. My first visit was just after my 40th birthday and my skin was definitely starting to say “I’m 40″. I had sun damage & melasma due to years of unprotected sunbathing & birth control pills. The fine lines around my eyes were now officially “crow’s feet”. Cari, the Medical Esthetician at the Sandy Springs location, gave me an in-depth consultation and we developed a skin-care plan of action to address my concerns. I started having regular facials/microdermabrasions and began an Obagi skin-care regimen at home. I started seeing results immediately. My skin was smoother & more hydrated reducing the fine lines around my eyes. Within a couple of months, the brown spots from sun damage & melasma began to fade. I was truly impressed and totally hooked on kai! And after four years of great service from the experts at kai and taking good care of my skin at home every day, I can honestly say I do NOT look forty anymore. And I don’t plan to any time soon!

I am the lead medical esthetician at kai – the medical spa in Johns Creek. I have had problems with my left wrist for years. I’d had a previous injury to the area and have had issues since. In my profession, your hands are your livelihood and dealing with pain and swelling on a daily basis was getting to be a problem. I spoke to our acupuncturist, Mark Schwartz about my wrist and all the problems it had been giving me. He suggested I have a session with him to try to alleviate the pain and discomfort I was experiencing. I had an hour session, which he focused on my wrist and also some relaxation. I got off the table and literally felt like I was floating…I couldn’t even feel my wrist!!! Over the next few weeks, my wrist started to feel better and better, swelling was subsiding and the pain was virtually gone. I am now about 3 months post treatment and have absolutely no problems with my wrist…no pain…no swelling…amazing!!!

About 8 years ago, I developed a small dark spot on my cheek. After years of sun exposure, the spot became more prominent. As an Esthetician I have tried many different products and treatments. Since working at kai – the medical spa, I have finally found the right combination of services and products that have worked for me. With only 2 treatments of our intense pulsed light (IPL) and regular use of our Obagi skin care, the pigmented lesion has faded significantly. Now with continued treatment and regular use of my sunscreen, I am confident my skin will ”wedding ready” by March.

Spreading kai on the radio

Wow, what a great day today was!

Today, I was invited to be on the radio.  Yes, yours truly was on Atlanta Business Radio with a group of other smart, female business owners and we had a blast.

I don’t know about you, but every time I talk about the exciting things that are happening with my company I get pumped up all over again.  Yes, the economy is not the greatest and yes, I am a female business owner and yes, there are all kinds of things happening in the world today that are not positive; but  when you own your own business you must make everyday a positive day, even when some days are not. If there is one thing I have learned in building my business is that a positive attitude or a negative attitude do not necessarily determine business success; however, for me personally being positive is just a better lifestyle.

After all, who wants to do business with someone who is a “Debbie Downer”?  I do not know about you, but I sure do not.  Especially if I am going to a place to try to relax for a few hours!  This is one of the reasons that kai the med spa has so many repeat clients.  Sure, we carry phenomenal products and we offer even better services, but what truly sets kai apart is our desire to ensure that everyone of our clients has the best spa experience they have ever had.

As I said (and you can probably tell) I am very excited about being in the spa business and look forward to being in this business for many years to come.

I hope you enjoy this recording as much as I did making it and I also want to say thanks to Amy Otto and Lee Cantor for the invite. I look forward to doing it again.

As usual, if there is anything we can help you with, please go to our website located on the right side of the blog or give us a call.  We look forward to providing you the very best in spa experiences.

Mahalo!
