Ageless Remedies in Athens Determined to be the Best

We have evolved a great deal here at Ageless Remedies. Right now our goal to be the best medspa in the Athens area is our focus. This has always been inferred but experience provides better ways of trying to reach this.

One of the things I have always preached is to make your feelings known (to the right person...the owner). At one time we had an aesthetician who was so unhappy in life she gave the clients extra uncharged treatments and also bad-mouthed us as owners. This become apparent when the clients dealt with any other staff. Keep in mind that just because an aesthetician gives you one story, this may not be true. Some people are never happy; even when they are making the highest salary of the staff. If I had an experience, where the aesthetician was always having a "pity-party", I would be concerned. First of all...the esthetic service is supposed to bring you "up", be about you and your needs. Nobody needs to feel uneasy during a treatment.

If you are anxious that you did not get all parts of the service, please ask to talk to an owner. Remember...that we are not in the treatment room and do not know everything that goes on. Also unless we are aware there is a concern...we cannot address it. Now, as much as we want your service and look forward to you coming to us, we cannot make our services please everyone or give things free or we would not be in business. Also if you can get a service cheaper, we usually advise you to take advantage of that. We do continually provide an array of specials that are available for you to try services at cheaper prices.

Right now we have two additional part-time aestheticians that have brought with them superior training and great personalities. Elenora works Tuesday and Wednesday and Dawn is here Thursday though Saturday. They are highly motivated and conscious of providing top-notch treatment.

We respect our aestheticians and staff, and ask that you show them the same courteous attitude. One of the few free things we can give to each other at a time that is difficult economically is to smile and be openly cheerful. Pass it on, and you will feel a lot better when you do. I speak from experience. The days I am not up to par, I force myself to smile more and when I do, I find it makes me feel better. Do you know that there was a university study where psychologists had depressed people (on medication) keep their regimen but added periods of continually smiling? These people were able to drop their medication because the result of this habit of smiling activated a certain area of their brain. Now I am not advocating that anybody reduces or stops medication without a doctor's approval, but I am just passing on something I learned from Anthony Robbins, a highly sought after motivational speaker.

I have also learned from a podcast interview that one psychologist studying early life experiences to predict anti-social behavior found that most serial killers came from families that provided very rigid, anti-fun environments even if there was no history of child abuse. This psychologist was so impressed that he has a business which promotes "fun" as part of the business routine and parenting. Needless to say, I wish I had the chance to be part of his staff. But...at least I have another thing in my repetoire which can be used to project a better attitude personally.

Check our facebook postings and our e-mail or postal mailings of current specials.

If you find your visit valuable, tell a friend; if not tell me and if it is something I can change within our protocols, I will work on it.

Hoping to see you soon... Joy Walsh, Co-owner-Ageless Remedies in Athens.
