As time goes by we realize that people come and go out of our lives but family is never ending. So take some time out of your day to grab your mom, sister, or brother and get a side-by-side pedicure or maybe even do a little shopping in our gift store. It may be a small gesture but it's the little things that add up to be a Big Deal.

Did you get your Cinderella kiss at midnight this year? Well grab that prince of yours and bring him to us so we can romance you both with a full body couple's massage. Maybe we can even convince him to try one of our exclusive mens pedicures with you!

We all have that friend who never takes the time to spend on him/herself. Well, why not stop by and get them a gift card that they can use ANY time on ANY service so we can show them what it REALLY means to pamper yourself. Who knows, Maybe they'll return the favor.

This is the year for a "Bucket List." Which is a list of things you HAVE to try in your lifetime. And what's better to kick off a New Beginning than a brand new hairstyle?? Every woman has seen that really cute picture of a really cute girl with that "oh-so-different-than-my" hairstyle. Why not try it out?!? We have tons of hairstylists who are itching to help you create the 2012 new you. And if you're gutsy enough to try a new 'do, then you're 100% ready to jump out of an airplane. Trust me, I've done it!

The New Year always falls in the dead of winter, and if anyone's looked outside this season they've noticed it has been a strange winter indeed! One day the windows could be wide open letting what feels like a spring breeze in while the next you could be cooped up inside. So for those chillier days come find a great candle and/or room spray to brighten it up in there! Find a way to enjoy your surroundings even when mother nature doesn't cooperate.

Everybody wants a few extra dollars to keep in their pocket or to save for an emergency. So how do you keep your nails and hair looking great without breaking the bank? Friend Cottonwood on Facebook and have access to our "daily deals" that only our true friends know about. Besides, you're not really friends unless you're Facebook friends! ;)

Welcome to 2012! Have you started your resolutions yet? Well, here at Cottonwood we have! And we would like to help you as well. Now, we all know the number one resolution of all time is to "lose weight." But, lets put a new spin on things. Instead of focusing on losing weight; focus on treating your body right. And what's more luxurious for your body than a massage? "But that won't help with my weight loss" you say? Well we've done some research and we've found that a massage not only relieves stress but, 1) Improves circulation in your muscles, 2) Improves your muscles' range of motion, 3) Shortens recovery time, 4) AND research has also shown that a massage can burst the fat capsules in the body; making them easier to break down. So what are you waiting for?! Give us a call and book yourself some luxurious fitness time!

Don't want to fight those crazy lines on Black Friday?? Well come see us at Cottonwood for our annual "Dark Days" this weekend Nov 18th-20th. We will be having all products and gifts on sale including %15 off Bumble and Bumble, Aveda, Darphin, SkinCeuticals, and SO MUCH MORE!! All this and no insane traffic? What a deal!

Want to add some height to your plain ol' ponytail? Check out Emma Stone's poof! Create some tousled waves using a salt spray, like Bumble and Bumble's "Surf Spray", and blow-dry while scrunching the strands by hand. Next she pull your hair into a high ponytail while teasing at the roots. To finish off this look wrap a few strands of hair around the elastic to give a natural look.

Don't let the dry Fall weather leave it's mark on your hair! For a full voluminous look work some of Bumble and Bumble's "Texture" through your wet hair and blow dry upside-down with a round brush. Add a couple twists with a curling iron and prepare for the wow factor!
