body purify exfoliate detoxify hydrate tan Before Tanning:
• Exfoliate your body. Pay attention to rough areas like knees,
elbows, ankles, hands and feet.
• Be sure to shave or wax any areas 24 hours before receiving your tan.
• Do not apply moisturizer to your skin. It is also recommended that you do not wear any make-up.
After Tanning:
• Avoid touching your skin to prevent your palms from tanning.
• Do not wet your skin for at least 6-8 hours after the tanning session. When showering don't be concerned if some of the initial bronzer washes off, this is part of the Sun FX
process. Pat your skin dry after washing or swimming.
• Do not exercise or perspire excessively between the tanning and the showering
phase.
• Apply moisturizer twice daily.
• Avoid long baths, hot spas and extended swimming sessions. Also avoid products
designed to exfoliate your skin.
Important Information:
• Skin: If you have highly sensitive skin a small localized test spray is recommended to
check your skin compatibility before having your full Sun FX body spray.
• Clothing: Wear dark, loose fitting attire after your appointment. Any minor rub-off will
easily wash out of most fabrics, but some lighter colored materials, including leather
and silk, may stain.
• Sunscreen: The Sun FX spray-on tan does not provide any sun protection and it does
not contain a sunscreen. Please make sure you apply sunscreen to prevent
sunburn when outdoors.

Heidi Olden found her place in the spa industry over ten years ago. Drawing on her years of experience as an esthetician she has created a unique selection of effective skincare treatments and hair removal options for you to experience at Urban Calm. Heidi's extensive resume includes her employment at The Four Seasons Resort Aviara where she was able to utilize her skills in their highly acclaimed spa, now listed among the top twenty spas in the world. Heidi has worked at several other high end salons and day spas in California and Connecticut and has also offered medical skincare in a cosmetic surgeon's office. After receiving her education and obtaining her California esthetician's license, Heidi relocated to the East Coast and continued her studies at New York's Dermal Institute. Heidi opened her first skin and body care studio, Zenobia Wellness Spa, in 2001 with the goal of offering her clients treatments that would address their individual skincare needs. Heidi's fascination with the ancient art of aromatherapy and search for a natural and effective product line led her to Enessa, an aromatherapy skincare line formulated by world-renowned esthetician Michelle Ornstein. Over the years Heidi has been mentored by Ornstein and is now proud to feature the Enessa line of products at Urban Calm. Always interested in giving her clients the best treatments available Heidi has also mastered the art of threading, an ancient hair removal technique that has been a celebrity secret for the past few years and is now becoming popular beyond the boundaries of New York City and Los Angeles. Trained by Ornstein (who performs threading on many celebrities such as Cher, Salma Hayek and Michelle Branch) Heidi is proud to be among only a handful of estheticians offering this service in San Diego. Combining her extensive training, years of experience, unique touch and outstanding products, Heidi brings you a new spa sanctuary, Urban Calm. Heidi aspires to deliver the best client experience possible and offers her products and therapies based on her belief in purity, a profound state of relaxation, and the restoration of a state of just being, a sense of calm. | |

Best of San Diego 2007 "Heidi Olden worked at the Four Seasons Resort Aviara, rated among the top spas in the world, before opening her own "spa sanctuary," Urban Calm (921 E Street, 619-236-1395), in downtown's up-and-coming East Village earlier this year. There she performs threading, an ancient hair-removal technique rooted in the Middle East. Twisted cotton threads are rolled over the hair shaft, plucking it out at the follicle. Olden was trained by esthetician-to-the-stars Michelle Ornstein (who's tamed Cher's brows)." |
