The benefits of massage are well documented, and the range of techniques offered by the Portland Vitality and Longevity Center combine to provide numerous benefits.  For example, the passive assisted stretching gives you expanded range of motion and greater flexibility.  Finally discover the ability to reach that top shelf you keep straining for!

Massage also helps to relax muscles and connective tissues, flushing toxins from your skin and improving your skin tone.  Relaxing the body helps to relax the mind, relieving stress and anxiety, and improving your ability to concentrate.

Massage can help you with ongoing problems as well.  Regular sessions can relieve depression, carpal tunnel syndrome, rotator cuff injuries, and bulging lumbar and cervical disks.  You can also relieve chronic pain, such as headaches, backaches, and hip, knee, shoulder and stiff neck pain.  Massage also helps you sleep better and lowers your blood pressure.

There’s never been a better time to help your body to feel better both mentally and physically.  Take advantage of the grand opening special offers.  Get $10 off your first massage: one hour for $50 or half an hour for $35.  Refer someone you know and get $5 off your next massage.  Each massage also includes complementary aromatherapy with various essential oil blends.

Beauty your way

Visit the The Colour Authority salon to have all your beauty needs met in a friendly, professional manner.  Though it has earned a formidable reputation specializing in hair coloring, The Colour Authority also attracts customers with great skincare, massage, facials, manicures, pedicures, and permanent make-up services.

Owner and long-time mid-county resident Darleen Hakola, operates this nationally renowned salon with family flair. Darleen’s daughter, Denise Smith works is resident hair stylist/colorist and Darleen’s mother, Ann Mumford, is the Colour Authority skin care specialist. Three generations of experience at your service.

The Colour Authority recently celebrated 16 years of business in the Gateway area.  These years have not gone to waste, as the hair color technicians have become more expert with each passing year.  This dedication has earned them a loyal following of customers.  Today, customers have even more to choose from.

The Colour Authority offers skincare by Ann Mumford, a wonderful lady who has been in the beauty business since 1931.  Ann’s decades of outstanding work have also earned a place in the National Cosmetology Association’s “Skincare Hall of Fame”.

The salon also offers facials and cosmetic tattooing (permanent make-up) by Leslie.   Are you tired of putting on the same make-up day after day, only to wash it off at night and reapply it in the morning?  Whether you want to save time in the morning or just save yourself the trouble of applying make-up every day, permanent makeup could be the answer.  Leslie has been in the beauty industry since 1993, and has been doing permanent cosmetic work since 1997.  Leslie takes her time to make sure the client is both comfortable and satisfied.  Don’t put up with make-up that smudges and rubs off.  Let Leslie Dang of Colour Authority help you to wake up ready for whatever the day might bring.  This true artist can subtly enhance your own natural beauty.

The Colour Authority also offers that most relaxing of spa offerings - massage by Linda.  Let her talented hands massage away your stress.  Or, if you would like a little beauty pick-me-up, pamper yourself with a manicure and pedicure by Tuyet.
