Almodiel, K\u2019s International Beauty Center manager, said these new services were added in consideration of their customers\u2019 overall health and wellness.<\/p>\n<p>Massage, she said, is recommended for overworked muscles.

Overall, she said health massages promote the general well-being of people. Different types of massages have been incorporated into health and beauty regimens as it also improves muscle and skin tones.<\/p>\n<p>Besides full body massage, Almodiel said the center also offers steam bath\u2014an important process before a massage to open the skin\u2019s pores. The massage would then condition the muscle and seal the skin pores back.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNot so many of the massage shops here have steam bath.

We just don\u2019t color your hair if it\u2019s not yet time for it. We don\u2019t just rebond the hair just because the customer wants it. We look at the hair and would advise against it if it\u2019s not strong enough to hold the medicine,\u201d said Almodiel.<\/p>\n<p>She said the same is true with their skin care services.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s our commitment to give the best service.
