“If I am not for myself, who will be for me?  And if not now, when?”

~Hillel the Elder

“I know the world is filled with troubles and many injustices. But reality is as beautiful as it is ugly. I think it is just as important to sing about beautiful mornings as it is to talk about slums. I just couldn’t write anything without hope in it”

~Oscar Hammerstein

“Tell them dear, that if eyes were made for seeing, then beauty is its own excuse for being”
~Ralph Waldo Emerson

“I expect to pass through life but once. If therefore, there be any kindness I can show, or any good thing I can do to any fellow being, let me do it now, and not defer or neglect it, as I shall not pass this way again.”

~William Penn

Recently a wonderful wellness blog, Well + Good NYC, noted a movement towards more personal care and single practitioner health and beauty practices in New York City.

Personalized service is the big thing big spas and salons don’t allow for… All of [the] single-shingle spas opened prior to the recession, so it’s not a case of economic downsizing. In fact, some say business is up. (Chalk it up to a desire for a personal approach in tough times.) And given that you’re doing business with the boss (and not just the next spa therapist available), we wonder if the bespoke boutique spa is something we’ll see more of?

I, for one, hope so!  What I love here at SANO is that I have the ability to talk, listen, educate and learn from each person who walks through the door.  We aim to give your skin just what it needs and believe that taking the time to create a personalized treatment plan is the best way to achieve noticeable results.
