  • 8 Fascinating Facts About Our Signature Services at Alfa Luna

    At Alfa Luna, we’re all about blending beauty, wellness, and fun. But did you know there are some seriously cool facts about the treatments we offer? Let’s dive in!

    The Science of Bliss
    Did you know massage therapy can actually boost your immune system and serotonin (the happy hormone) by up to 28%? Studies show that massages reduce cortisol (stress hormone) and increase white blood cells, helping you fight off illness. Plus, whether it’s Swedish relaxation, aromatherapy, or deep tissue, our massages make “me-time” feel like a mini vacation for your body and mind.

    Facials help you sleep better.
    The relaxation you feel during a facial triggers your body’s parasympathetic nervous system, which reduces stress and promotes better sleep quality. So, it’s not just your skin getting the reset—your mind benefits too!

    Romans invented the first barbershops.
    Ancient Rome was home to the tonsor—a barber who cut hair, shaved beards, and even pulled teeth! Barbershops (called tonstrinae) were social hubs where men gathered to discuss politics, gossip, and daily life while getting a fresh cut.

    Ancient Egyptians were the pioneers of body waxing.
    In 3000 BCE, Egyptians used a sugar-based paste made of honey and oil to remove hair, a method known today as sugaring. Cleopatra herself was said to favor this technique to achieve smooth, hair-free skin as a sign of beauty and cleanliness.
