Welcome back to the Club Lamar Star, JULY 2007


JULY'S "HOT DEAL":
BUY ONE SPA SERVICE & GET TWO FREE

Stuck in a spa rut? The long hot lazy days of summer are the perfect time to break out and explore your favorite day spa's many delights. During the month of July, when you purchase any spa treatment valued at $75 or more, you will be treated to two 15 mini-services from the spa's other departments. Book a facial and get a free chair massage and paraffin hand dip. Or book a Mani/Pedi and get a free brow wax and chair massage. The options are endless!

THESE SASSY PILLOWS & DOOR HANGERS SAY IT ALL!

Need a break from the kids? Just slip a "Do not disturb the Queen" door hanger over your doorknob and see if they still dare to knock! These whimsical pillows and door hangers come in a variety of lush fabrics and gorgeous trims with tongue-in-cheek messages guaranteed to make you smile. Choose from sentiments like "Sometimes I wake up grumpy. Sometimes I let him sleep in" and "Real women don't have hot flashes, they have power surges". Door hangers are priced at just $15 and pillows at $27.


STRETCH OUT TO ELIMINATE STRESS

We know that stress can play a big role in our overall health, affecting everything from to cravings, metabolism and sugar levels to more serious long-term issues. While quick fixes like deep breathing and walking around the block can help lower stress levels, if you find that you need a more long-term solution, try yoga. Practicing the mind-body workout will modulate your current levels and have a more lasting, cumulative effect on how you deal with problems in general, arming you with tools like meditation and stretches to help properly tackle future situations.

Even just two sessions a week—at home or in a class setting—can help bring down the anxiety meter, and make you more flexible, to boot.

The Lamar will be adding yoga and pilates classes in our dance studio this fall.


TERRIFIC LASH AND BROW TINTING

Say goodbye to raccoon eyes and hello to this simple treatment with long-lasting results. For truly dramatic eyes, have your lashes and brows professionally tinted with a color that suits you perfectly.
First your eyelashes and brows are gently cleansed. Next, you select your tint with color options ranging from black to auburn.

The tint is applied, allowed to set for a few minutes, and then removed. The results? Knock ‘em dead peepers in no time at all. Brows or Lashes are $35 each or $50 for both.

NEW LOBBY IS NOW OPEN

Our new lobby is officially open for business. Next time you visit The Lamar, you will enter through the double doors in the center of the building. Our spacious new lobby is centrally located for easy access to the spa, salon, dance and meeting suites.

We have also upgraded our phone and computer systems to provide better customer service to you. Our old, corner lobby will become Café Lamar, giving guests another beautiful place to relax and enjoy spa fare in a quiet light-filled dining area.

AFFORDABLE JEWELS

We just received another new shipment of beautiful and affordable shell jewelry. These light-as-a-feather pieces are big on style but light on your pocketbook and perfect for summer. Necklaces are just $15 and earrings $10 or buy the matching set for $20 and save even more!

THE LAMAR NAMED ONE OF TOP 50 "COMPANIES TO WATCH"
BY THE ASBA AND EDWARD LOWE FOUNDATION

THE LAMAR EVERYDAY SPA has been recognized as one of the Arizona Companies to Watch, an awards program hosted by the Arizona Small Business Association in collaboration with the Edward Lowe Foundation. "Companies like the Arizona Companies to Watch are one of the reasons that Arizona leads the country in economic growth.

Through the efforts of great employees who deliver innovative products and services, these companies are growing at over four times the national average!" says Joan Koerber-Walker, CEO of the Arizona Small Business Association. "ASBA is proud to be building and supporting this growing community of excellent companies. It's about time they got the recognition they so richly deserve," Koerber-Walker adds.

"Companies to Watch is a unique awards program designed to shine the spotlight on second-stage companies," says Mark Lange, executive director of the Edward Lowe Foundation, a not-for-profit operating foundation based in Michigan. The foundation's mission is to "champion the entrepreneurial spirit" by encouraging entrepreneurial cultures in communities throughout the country and helping second-stage companies learn from each other.

Judges evaluated the companies for their demonstrated intent and capacity to grow based on one or more of the following

  • Employee or sales growth
  • Exceptional entrepreneurial leadership
  • Sustainable competitive advantage
  • Other notable factors that showcase the company's success.

Arizona Companies to Watch is sponsored by: Grand Canyon University, College of Entrepreneurship, APS/AAAME, Compass Insurance, Arizona Department of Commerce, Staples, SCF Arizona, PNI, Arizona Republic, KFNN 1510 Financial News Radio. The Lamar Everyday Spa, located just north of the Scottsdale Fashion Square on Scottsdale Rd, has become Arizona's largest privately owned resort-style spa in just two short years.
The 14,000 sq ft facility combines resort-style amenities like a swimming pool, steam room, sauna and whirlpool with local-friendly pricing and 2000 SF of meeting space, making it an ideal location for corporate retreats. The Lamar, often referred to as "the resort-style spa that keeps the locals coming back", also serves as a resource partner for nearby resorts, providing spa packages to their guests.
The Lamar Everyday Spa was voted #7 Best Place to Work in Phoenix in 2006 and was named one of the Top Ten Best Day Spas by the AZ Central Reader's Choice Awards and One of The Valley's Best Day Spa Deals by Phoenix Magazine.

NO LIVE AT THE LAMAR ON JULY 4th

Because the first Wed of the month in July happens to Independence Day, we will not be hosting our usual Live at The Lamar Concert series this month. We will be closed in observance of the holiday, so that our employees may enjoy the day with their families. We look forward to seeing you August 1st 6-9 PM for free live music and two-for-one prices when you bring a friend for their first Lamar visit.
