Therapists begin the 90-minute treatment by massaging a body scrub into the skin. The coffee part of the scrub is said to break up cellulite, and the salt removes dry skin. The massage complements the treatment, in that it's also meant to target cellulite by stimulating blood flow.

Clients who only have a little bit of time to spend at Darlene's Beauty Salon & Spa might have a hard deciding which service to ask for. They could concentrate on the nails and opt for a spa pedicure or an application of long-lasting Shellac polish, or they could make skin a priority by undergoing a spa or hydration facial. But the best use of their time just might be colour correction, cap highlights, or another hair service; that way, they get to lean back in the plush reclining chairs that sit in front of the salon's shampoo sinks and stare at the ceiling until they see a 3-D sailboat.
