The summer pedicure!!!

There is something about summer and sandals that require good toenails!! I had a pedicure today and it felt SO good. Not only was the massage awesome but I have smooth feet and lovely bright pink toenails!! But better still, good nail care is a part of good health. Seems that people kind of forget about their nails till they are exposed all summer long!! Be sure that you treat nail fungus, keep your nails short and smooth and know that a great foot massage is good for your overall health. I am here to tell you that the Clover staff do the best pedicure anywhere. We don't use bubbly water because of health concerns but after the rest of it, you will forget that you ever thought you wanted to put your feet into bubbles!!!!! And listen up guys....you have toenails too!!!!!!!!!

I love the new spa!!

As you may know, we have been working on creating a fabulous new space at 205 South Main in Galena and we have moved Wild Clover down to this location and closed in the hotel. Well, I am so excited about what we have created...it is an oasis in a beautiful historic building. We have full locker roooms and showers and can accomodate groups of women, men, families, couples..everyone. I had a massage today from Abbey...fabulous as usual and I felt so calm when I came out into the soothing relaxation room. The comments from our clients have been very reinforcing for us; making a big move like this is kind of scary. BUT..the opportunity to be right in the heart of Galena in a wonderful neighborhood, have our same talented staff and be able to care for more clients...all priceless!! Please do give us the chance to care for you!!! 815 776 9155 :-) Operators are standing by !!!!!!!

Massage is not just a winter activity!!

It seems that some view having a massage as something you do in the cooler days of fall and winter. Au contraire!! Massage is clearly one of the best stress reducers one can participate in. I read an article recently that talked about the documented benefits of massage as both a stress reliever and a depression alleviator! Cannot argue with that information!! A Clover on Main and the Spa Suites have full shower and locker room facilities so that you can shower either before or after a treament or both. And for the ladies, you have access to hair and makeup options..so don't let that stand in the way of taking an hour or two and taking care of yourself. The benefits are guaranteed!!!!

The summer is officially kicked off!!!

The 4th of July is always the real beginning of summer for most people...hope everyone had a great weekend and spent time with friends and family, chilling out, eating brats, and just plain kicking back!!
I spent some time cooking and did a bit of yard work this weekend and guess what? My Forever Manicure is still perfect...it is nearly 12 days since I had it done. I am here to tell you that this is the ideal manicure for the summer...no fuss,no muss and lots of great summer colors!!
Book it today....815 776 9155 @acloveronmainspa. You will be hooked :-)

my new nails!!

I have a new favorite spa treatment!! Well, truthfully I love them all. But I had a Forever Manicure last week..my nails are still perfect, still have a wonderful shine and I have even done some yard work and some weeding!! I highly recommend this new OPI product/treatment. Check it out...and you could have a pedicure too!!! It is the summer season...who wants to spend any extra time "doing your nails" but we all want nails to look good for our special summer events and happenings!!!

skin care in the summer

Ah yes, the summer sun feels so good on our faces!! But don't forget that you need to be vigilant about your skin care and moisturizing during the warmer days of summer.What a good time to have a facial and have one of our experts examine your skin type and make recommendations about your skin regime, which should change as the seasons do.Plus facials feel SO GOOD!! The fabulous neck and shoulder massage that goes with the facial is an additional pleasure!! I guarantee you will love it and your skin will thank you.

I tried it out myself!!

Yesterday I wrote about the spa; today I tried it for myself. I have services on a fairly regular basis but today was my first day to have three services in a row. I had a great facial (love the Aveda elemental facial), a Forever manicure( new product by OPI...love having the look of gels without all the fuss) and a great massage.Thanks to Paula and Jamie...excellent if I do say so myself :-) But seriously , taking care of yourself this way is a good thing...not really an indulgence but a prevention treatment. I look at every spa I go to with the eye of an owner..looking for what is right and what is not. We always welcome our clients to share both the positive and the not so positive with us...how do you get better without knowing what did not go well?? But I must say, my time hit the mark today!!

There is a new CLOVER in town!!

A Clover on Main and Spa Suites by Wild Clover are officially open in historic downtown Galena. Come and see us at 205 South Main...experience our same great staff, same great services in our awesome new 6000 sq ft spa space. We had outgrown our location in the hotel and it was time to make the move. We now are in the heart of Galena's action; you can stop by and schedule a spa service to relax in the middle of your shopping extravaganza. Our new space allows us to do four pedicures at one time; we have several side by side rooms for couples, families or friends. This is a perfect spot for group fun. We partner with local purveyors for food and drink. Our block has great shopping , several good bars and eating establishments and two (yes I said two ) chocolate shops...what more could you ask for?? Some of the comments we have heard: "it is breathtaking, the nail area is even more relaxing than the old one, this looks like it should be in Chicago or New York but is so welcoming and warm!!" We look foward to seeing you soon.
