Napa
Massage & Bodycare - Experience true Napa style
in the heart of downtown. While most of our clients live and
work in this extraordinary place, the visitors who find us are
delighted by the spa alternative we provide. Our atmosphere
is laid-back and wellness-driven, with incredibly flexible hours.
We’re the perfect fit for down-to-earth people who value
personalized attention and thoughtful details. That’s
why we remain the locals’ favorite with the ideal visitors’
location. In winery terms, we’re a boutique: Producing
a premium product available in limited quantities. We are not
a massage-mill and we have room for only 5-7 guests at a time.
Occasionally, spa parties can be developed for special groups
that are up to twice that size. Our focus is on individual attention
not high volume. Our unique location in a 1915 Craftsman-style
house was originally home to Dr. Welti, a prominent local physician
nearly 100 years ago. Today, healing work continues. We even
named our signature service the Welti Wellness Massage and you
can only get it here. Our skin and nail treatments are exceptional,
too. Formerly Amanda's; now Napa Massage & Bodycare--same
ownership since 1999.
St.Pierre

pads on heated tables in comfortable massage rooms equipped

tea while relaxing in the quiet room before or after your massage.
We can accommodate large groups or intimate private spa parties
catered with Napa valley delicacies. We are open 7 days 10:00

Introduction
to Manicures
A manicure is a cosmetic beauty treatment for the fingernails
and hands enjoyed by both sexes. A manicure can treat just the
hands, just the nails, or both. A standard manicure usually
includes filing and shaping of the nails and the application
of polish. Some specialty manicures, such as the French Manicure,
may also be offered. Treatments for hands usually include soaking
in a softening substance and application of hand lotion. A similar
treatment performed on the feet is a pedicure. The word "manicure"
comes from the Latin manus, meaning "hand," and cura
meaning "care".
Various services for nails can be provided, such as the application
of artificial nails such as nail tips, acrylics and artificial
nail gels. A manicurist can also apply treatments to real nails,
such as filing, polishing, and painting. Fancier manicures include
painting pictures or designs on the nails or applying small
decals or imitation jewels.
In many areas, manicurists are regulated and must be licensed.
Because the skin is being manipulated and sometimes trimmed,
and because there is a risk of infection when tools are used
on multiple people, proper sanitation is critical.

The History of Manicure:
Believe it or not, people have been manicuring their nails for
more than 4,000 years. In southern Babylonia, noblemen used
solid gold tools to give themselves manicures and pedicures.
The use of fingernail polish can be traced back even further.
Originating in China in 3,000 BC, nail color indicated one's
social status -- according to a Ming dynasty manuscript, royal
fingernails were painted black and red. The Egyptians also colored
their nails, using red to show the highest social class. It
is said that Cleopatra's nails were painted a deep red, whereas
Queen Nefertiti went with a flashier ruby shade. In ancient
Egypt and Rome, military commanders also painted their nails
to match their lips before they went off to battle.
