August Newsletter

RE:  August Updates and Savory Nibbles

Greetings from my kitchen, where I sit watching a beautiful Pinot Noir disappear right before my eyes.  Truly amazing.  Truly delicious.

Let’s get going on some scoop

DOCTOR REFERRAL
Many have asked who we now refer to for cosmetic procedures, whether injectibles or surgeries.  I was referred by several clients to a rather dashing Plastic Surgeon in Santa Monica called Dr. Mark Youssef.  After several calls and a great meeting, he has agreed to be our man of choice.  I will say, after meeting him, I did not expect him to be so humble and genuine.  There was nothing “Nip/Tuck” about him.  Just warm and pleasant with twinkly eyes and a lovely set of dimples.  Dare we ask for more?
I asked Dr. Youssef if he would be willing to offer QB clients discounts on his services and to now and again pop over to the shop to perform services.  After checking us out a bit more, he has agreed to do so, and without further ado, here are the details of an August bash:

When: Thursday, August 6th 2009
Time: 3:00pm through 8:00pm
Who: Dr. Mark Youssef and his team http://www.youniquecosmeticsurgery.com/
What: Botox, Juvederm, Restylane etc.
Discounted Prices:
BOTOX - $10 a unit JUVEDERM - $500 a syringe (Reg. $600)
RESTYLANE - $425 a syringe (Reg. $500) VI-PEEL (Chemical Peel)  - $249

There will also be a gift certificate for 2 Latisse lash stimulators  for $200. This can only be obtained from a doctor.
You can email or call Jenn to book a spot.  I think Dr. Youssef can only take 20 people in the amount of time he has.  Any questions about the injectibles, or peels please contact Dr. Youssef’s personal and lovely assistant Lori at youniquemedspa@gmail.com or call 310.434.0044.  Lori can also answer questions for any of you who are considering injectibles for the first time….. like me……. I keep thinking that there aren’t supposed to be perenthesis around my mouth……..
I’m pretty excited about having this party. Any excuse to open a few bottles of Bollie to down with the girls.  I saw Chef Akasha this evening of “Akasha Restaurant” and she has offered to send some nosh down to us!

Onward onward…………

Changes in the hair and nail department:  Yve Marie Antista is no longer with us.  After valued feedback from you on services, we have decided that we are not a perfect fit for each other.  I am very happy to confirm that Connie, a client and manicurist at a top Beverly Hills hotel, will be working with us part time -  especially evenings.  I wish she could come on full time, but has her Beverly Hills commitments. LA DI DA!!!
Connie would like to offer you these specials for August on Mondays and Wednesdays only.

Manicure/Pedicure - Reg $55 - Special $47.50.  (half off manicure)
Pedicure Only - Free callous remover treatment

Yoga - STRIKE A POSE!!!!  YOGA CAN BE BOOKED ONLINE… starting next week!   When you go to the Queen Bee website to book yoga, there will be a link to a website where you can book, pay, cancel, etc!    I believe the girls may have to put classes up $1 because we have to be able to pay for the added online services. They are still some of the most reasonable prices in town for the classes you get.  If you think about it, 4 to 6 people in a class is more like a private session, and I think that is where Ally’s classes stand out from the rest.  Plus she’s British, so that in itself should make her worth it - oh wait, she’s from Northern England…………  I take it all back!
We have added more classes AND have a new teacher “Liat” who taught with Ally in Australia.  We’ll put her bio up soon.  Make sure you email questions to the girls at “yoga@queenbeewaxing.com
The new yoga schedule is, as we speak, being updated on our website.


Pilates -DON’T STRIKE A POSE!! PILATES IS SUSPENDED FOR A WEEK OR TWO!!

Barbecued Bits!
Well, didn’t I tell you?  Didn’t I warn you it was coming? “TANNING BEDS CAUSE CANCER!!”  http://www.breitbart.com/article.php?id=CNG.334a554e78aee09e0fd5764a76f5b23c.a1&show_article=1
I know several of you are rolling your eyes at me (and I know who you are!!!).  I’m sure some people will think “Golly gosh, here’s the next big thing people are getting their knickers in a twist about.” Except guys, this time it is real.  The evidence is out there.  The evidence is on the skin of people like me, who wanted that perfect “base” before I went away somewhere smashing and warm.  And the one cancerous mole I’ve had removed waaaaay way back in my early 20s to the one I have to have removed in the next few weeks.  When doctors dig these little suckers out, they leave a scar that looks like the 7 dwarves went digging for gold!  I kid you not.  I’ll stop right there - I believe I have preached enough.

So having said this, after a year or two of research about spray tanning, we decided to invest in an amazing spray tan machine.  The formula I believe is the best one out there.  We will post tons of information on the website about it this week, but I can confirm that the formula and machine we are using is the same as the top salons out there, and we are going to be charging half as much as some.  We have 3 trained technicians who will do an amazing job at dousing your derriere and ensuring you have an even glow, with no sticky wickets!
Here is a little pricing information, and I am sure we will add more stuff - like bridal party spray tanning etc.

INTRO SPECIAL

> First Visit $40

Again, we’ll add some bridal party etc., packages soon, that can include other services.

Waxing New combo packages with discounts are online.

We have some techie blokes working on the Queen Bee social networking site!  It will soon be ready.  It’s going to be a great way to find some resources, to advertise yourself, discussion boards etc. etc.

Speaking of networking.  As you all know, I am a massive supporter of female entrepreneurs.  If you have a function coming up and you want to let me know about it, just shoot me an email.  As well as the Queen Bee networking site, I’ll put a notice board up at the shop, so you can pin some things up there.  I was contacted by a long term client a while ago who is going to use the Queen Bee garden for a function on August 8th called “The Real Freshman Orientation” for our bebes going into their first freshman year.  QB clients are receiving 25% off of a Contact Karolina at karolinasaloun@yahoo.com if you would like to see a flyer about the event.

Okay, I am done!!  That bottle of wine I was talking about has served it’s wonderful purpose!  Don’t hesitate to contact me directly.  And also, if you cannot stand to receive these emails anymore, hit the unsubscribe key!
Jodi and the Team at Queen Bee!
