Spa services at downtown campus

    Looking for a spa experience without all of the high cost? MATC downtown campus has just what you’re in need of in room M110. Mini-facials, paraffin hand dips and five-minute neck massages are their specialty. The soft, relaxing music welcomes patrons into an environment of being centered for a beauty regimen. Students prepare clients for services by first doing a small evaluation sheet for safety, and then help in selecting the spa service with quiet conversation.

    In the case of the mini-facial, while waiting in the consultation chair one can see what to expect as an onlooker, watching the process of a careful wipe down of their reclined chair during the sanitizing setup.

    Afterwards, the client is placed in the cleansed chair in a resting position lying down. From there, a warm towel is coddled around the client’s face to open the pores. The service tech then applies a facial cleaner for a mild rub.

    The Paraffin hand dip consists of the client first washing their hands well and then receiving a relaxing hand massage with a nice quality hand lotion.

    Soon after, the customer is led to the wax dip solution, where their hands are dipped generously one at time until covered in warm wax.

    From there their hands are wrapped in plastic for a suitable duration to nourish the skin in rich softness.

    While waiting for the hands to soak in the moisture, making them baby soft, the client then receives a deep down neck massage. The experience is five minutes of pure bliss.

    The cost of the mini-facial is $15.00, the paraffin hand dip is $5.00 and the 5-minute neck massage is five bucks also.

    To live out your spa dreams, call 414-297-6819 for an appointment. However, they do take walk- ins on Thursdays, starting at 12:30 P.M.

    About the Contributor

    Teresa Rae Butler, Times Scene Editor
    There is a certain capturing of the heart and mind that happens to people who love their school and love their school newspaper. I am one such person. I have been with this paper as a staff reporter since 2009, and now that I have the endearing honor and privilege as the Downtown Campus Editor, I find myself in the midst of an experience that I am certain that I will truly miss, and appreciate added to my resume. The kinds of articles we produce are always informative to our community, but also well rounded in production, which frequently lands us into award winning layouts. We are always working to out do the last edition, and I love to do my part. I have gotten the opportunity to work with some wonderful staff and go to some extravagant journalism events to represent the orange, royal blue and star logo that is the MATC TIMES. To work under the supervision of the legendary, Bob Hanson has been a journey most respected, treasured and valued in sharpening my skills as a reporter, editor and even a photographer. You can’t get any better. The meetings alone are always a lot of fun and we cover topics that are important and relevant to the campus. When I’m not doing things for my school, I can be found walking the beautiful city of Milwaukee Wisconsin engaging in some kind of opportunity either in nature, the arts or film.
