(March 30, 2017) Therapeutic massages, facials, skin care treatments and a few unique add-ons are offered at Massage Envy on Manklin Creek Road in Ocean Pines, which opened on Feb. 16.
“People need to take care of their bodies to participate in life. We are very wellness-based,” Joann Hess, owner of the Massage Envy Ocean City, said. “It is a different way for people to receive massage and facial services. It is very easy, gender-neutral and our membership program is discounted.”
There are many benefits to receiving a massage regularly, including relieving stress and sore muscles, increasing circulation and boosting the immune system. It’s also a great recovery method to use after having surgery, she said.
“Membership services are a win-win because it helps the client to get regular massages for maintenance, which teaches the muscles and body to lower stress and life becomes scheduled around your massage,” Hess said. “Your body tells you how often to get a massage. Most people [visit on] average about once a month.”
Before receiving a facial at Massage Envy, an esthetician will perform a skin analysis with a magnifying lamp and select products specific to the clients’ skin-condition needs.
“The skin is the largest organ in the human body, and we must take care of it,” Hess said.
A typical facial includes the skin consultation, steaming, cleansing, toning, extractions, treatment and repair products, and moisturizing the face and around the eyes. In addition, customers can receive a hand, arm, neck and décolleté massage.
Facials offer a range of therapeutic benefits such as reducing blemishes and breakouts, moisturizing and deeply cleansing, improving skin tone and texture, reducing fine lines and wrinkles and helping repair damaged cells while preventing further skin damage.
There are also a number of add-ons to enhance the experience including anti-aging eye treatments, back facials, hand and foot treatments, hot stone massages and aromatherapy.
“We sell Dr. Murad’s line of skin care products and use them in our facials,” Hess said. “They are very effective and created by a dermatologist.”
Massage Envy also carries essential oils and bath salts to relieve pain, as well as body lotions and candles.
“Anything to extend that relaxation experience,” Hess said.
The monthly membership program gives clients a $30 discount on normally priced facials and massages.
“We find a lot of people book in advance this way, and therapists have regular clientele,” Hess said. “The beauty of the membership is it can be used anywhere in the country.”
Massage Envy has more than 1,200 locations across the United States and employees give about 1.5 million massages a month.
At least 300 facilities are currently in development, and the brand is looking to go international by bringing services to Sydney, Australia, Hess added.
“We focus on giving the highest level of customer service, making it easy to book with a discount to make it affordable, but still providing that over-the-top experience,” Hess said.
Hess had been looking to expand Massage Envy to Ocean City for several years. Manklin Creek Road in Ocean Pines stood out because of the landlord, shopping center, ease of access, traffic flow and most importantly, it is nearby residents.
“We want to cater to the local population and people who spend a good chunk of their lives here,” Hess said. “We figured locals are in this area on a regular basis and it would be a convenient spot for them.”
Massage Envy is hiring for all positions with “meeting the demand” as the biggest obstacle when opening a new location, she said.
“It is a nice place to work and a family environment,” Hess said. “We are healers and focus on our clients and craft. We have parties, provide insurance, have a 401K option and pay for license renewals.”
Massage Envy Ocean City on Manklin Creek Road in Ocean Pines is open every day. Appointments can be made Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 9 p.m., 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Saturday and 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Sunday.
