My favourite part of my job is guest services, interacting with the staff and guests.

The signature facials are outstanding!

MEET & GREET

How long have you been with Casbah?

A little bit over two and a half years.

What is your role at the Spa?

I am an esthetician.

I know you do a lot of Makeup Applications too... any trends coming up you can tell us about?

Personally, I still love the trend of a bold lip with simple eye makeup. Its classy, and with the right lip shade can look good on anyone.

What's the best makeup tip you have?

The best make up weapon you can have in your bag is a good crease brush. It does the work for you. It blends your eye makeup so beautifully and its easy enough to use that even someone who's new to makeup can make their eyes look like they were done by a professional.

What's your favourite part of the job?

The results. It makes me feel so good when I can help someone with the concerns of their skin or help improve on the look of their nails. I like being able to help, and make my client feel great when they walk out of the spa.

What is your favourite service at the spa?

I love all of our services but my personal favourite would have to be a pedicure. Your feet always look so great afterwards and who doesn't love a great foot massage!

What is your favourite thing to do on a Sunday afternoon?

After a week of work I enjoy a really nice quiet afternoon at home, just laying on the couch watching some tv and catching up with girl friends.

Thanks Vicki!

Going bare, down there.

With Valentines Day rapidly approaching you may be thinking of trying something to spice things up a little.

I know it might be intimidating but Brazilian waxes are more popular now then ever, and are an easy way to add some heat. To ease your nerves here is a quick rundown of the process.

First your going to have to strip down, but don't worry you are always covered with a towel. Then they spread wax on with a wooden applicator in small sections at a time. Then while holding the skin taut the waxer zips the hair off. Many ask, "Does it hurt?". I always say it depends on your pain tolerance but it is a very temporary pain.


Women are not the only ones going bare down there. The boyzilian is all the rage with men who are maticulate groomers. Superstars like David Beckham, Cristiano Ronaldo and Kellan Lutz all sporting the clean look. Did we mention it makes your manhood look bigger?

What do you think, Would you want your man to sport a boyzilian?
