Metrosexuality May-May 21, 2006





Waxing….it’s not just for women anymore!

On May 21st, the Phoenix Salon & Spa partnered with City of Hope to hold the organizations inaugural Metrosexuality May Event. The Phoenix opened its doors to men seeking serious summer styling, offering a series of salon and spa services from haircuts and coloring to manicures and pedicures, and massages and waxing.

The event is part of the Philadelphia-based HopeCuts campaign, the largest beauty industry fundraiser in the U.S. that supports cancer and HIV/Aids research at City of Hope’s National Medical Center. All services were donated by the Phoenix employees to generate funds for prostate cancer research, awareness, and prevention measures.

Motherly Love-May 12, 2006











Philadelphia, the “City of Brotherly Love”, can also be coined the “City of Motherly Love.” The first observance of Mother’s Day took place in Philadelphia on May 10, 1907. Nearly a century later, the Phoenix recognized four remarkable mothers, pampering each Philadelphia-style with a Motherly Love Treatment—a Market Street Manicure, Penn Pedicure, Freedom Facial, Liberty Massage and Ben Franklin Blow Dry.

The honored mothers were: Tracey Jean Kepp, a breast cancer survivor and inspiration to her teenage girls; Shelvia Williams, a hard-working single mom; Helen Brown, fondly called “Ms. Helen”, a Community Organizer at Project H.O.M.E. and Director of the North Philly Foot Stompers; and, Eileen Downs, the proud mother of 12 children and 13 grandchildren.

STYLE features the Phoenix Salon & Spa







Beauty Spotlight

Rise Again
Let Phoenix Salon & Spa give you brighter, softer skin from head to toe.

Imagine lounging in a robe and sipping tea in a private room, or relaxing under the warm jets of an open granite-tiled shower. No, you're not taking a break from it all with an ultra-luxe vacation; you're on your lunch break.

Keating Building Corp. (the same minds behind the Hyatt Regency Philadelphia at Penn's Landing and Hotel Sofitel) considered every detail when creating Phoenix Salon & Spa. Walls are covered in sleek slate and bathrooms are fitted with large showers and floor-to-ceiling tiles. Sunset flooring and granite-and-cherry wood fixtures help give the Phoenix its professional atmosphere.

To completely experience the best this spa has to offer, book a 120-minute getaway with the Phoenix Rising treatment. You'll relax on a heated table as the smells of ylang-ylang, chamomile and rosewood fill the air. A salt scrub treatment comes with a sweet cocoa smell, and a heated blanket wrap helps the moisture sink in. Next comes the exciting part: Hot river rocks are gently massaged over limbs and back, placed between the toes, cradled in the hands and rested on the stomach.

If you're looking for a youthful complexion, book a Vibraderm treatment. Phoenix is the only spa in Center City to offer the quick service (an alternative to microdermabrasion), which helps skin create new collagen. The best part? The results are immediate, and a smoothed texture is visible right away. An oxygenating moisture mask—packed with vitamins C and E—is applied with the treatment and helps protect skin from free radicals.

For those who have rough feet in need of special attention, a Raw Earth pedicure may be the solution. Clients come in with calluses and leave without, smooth and polished.
