Wine Corner

Merlot is the world’s most popular wine.

Merlot was originally used to blend wine in Bordeaux to help soften Cabernet Sauvignon’s flavor. Merlot has become very popular due to its fresh, ripe fruit flavors. Most wine-producing areas favor soft and fruit based flavors.

The scalp is filled with nerve endings and a majority of the nervous system is located inside the skull. A good scalp massage will stimulate your nervous system.

A scalp massage is one of the most common ways to reduce stress. It is a simple technique where you knead soft tissues in the body, which can create a calming effect and remove tension.

Another benefit from a scalp massage is beautiful hair! Having your salon massage your scalp and hair with warm, herb infused oil is a good way to nourish your scalp and hair.
