From one mother, to all mothers: let’s celebrate US!
Hello Moms!
Happy Mother's Day to all those amazing moms who come to our Pia's locations!
As a business owner, a wife, and a mother of a teenager and a five-year-old boy, I just can say one thing: I'm devoted to all my six kids.
Why six?
Because I always think of each business is a kid, too. They also need dedication and full attention. They all start as a new illusions and it's nice to see them grow.
It can be a little challenging to juggle business and family at the same time. But I always find time to be there for Paula and Sebastian.
I love all my mom clients because we have share many chats is the waxing room - talking about pregnancies, diapers and potty training secrets. I have learned so much from all of you.
And from the bottom of my heart, I want to which you all a very, very Happy Mother's Day, because you gals are strong and AMAZING moms.
Much love!

Pia wants to meet you
I’m getting a touch of spring fever. No, it’s not from my allergies, and in a way... I hope it’s contagious! I love our customers for helping us grow to four vibrant locations. That’s why I’m going to get out and about, hoping to meet you. My home base is typically our South Tampa location. But I’m going to be on a permanent tour, of sorts. Come out to our other locations for a treatment, or just to say hello. I’m not only the owner and namesake, I can provide services: facials, micro-dermabrasian, waxing, spray tanning, eyelash perm and color, eyebrow design and color. If you’d like to meet me, here’s where I’ll be and when: Tuesdays & Thursdays – Westchase 1030am-3pm Wednesdays - South Tampa 1030am-8pm Fridays – St. Petersburg 1030am-230pm Don’t be afraid to catch this kind of spring fever – see you soon!
Easter comes early with spring spa surprises
Spring has sprung! We have it on good authority that the Easter Bunny is popping into all Pia's locations with surprises for you.
We're inviting all of our clients, and soon-to-be clients, to come on in the week of April 2-8, and pick up your Easter egg. Inside, you'll may one of these special gifts:
5-20% off any one of our treatments, a complimentary polish change, a complimentary gel application, a free eyebrow wax, free products (including toner, Dermalogica samples, travel-size gifts), and more.
You don't even need an appointment to see what the Bunny has brought for you. So visit any of our locations this week, April 2-8 and let's celebrate!
See you soon!
Scrub-a-dub with Supracor
I recently raved about one of ours – and yours – new favorite products, the Microdermabrasion Exfoliating Soap Bar.
Facebook fan DeAnna Gould Harmon likes another one of our products that’ll give you a good scrubbing too: Supracor mitts, facial sponges and body scrubbers. Three sizes, depending on how much coverage you want at one time, for your face, body and back. One side is firm to slough off dry, old skin. The softer side massages, encouraging circulation.
Pair the Supracor exfoliators with your favorite soap, shower gel or cleanser. It's available in a variety of sizes and colors at your favorite Pia’s location.
Thanks for sharing your review, DeAnna - e're happy you're enjoying your Supracor!
Scrub your way to soft skin with a new soap bar
I’m picky.
I admit it, and I’m proud of it.
That’s why you’ll only find certain products and product lines on our shelves. Choosing a favorite among them is like asking me to choose a favorite among my children.
But.
We are huge fans of one of our newest products, the Microdermabrasion Exfoliating Soap Bar.
You know the fresh, baby-soft feeling you get after a microdermabrasion facial treatment? That’s how your body feels all over after you shower with this bar. It’s hard as a rock. Just add some water, and the scrubby bits exfoliate away dull and dry skin, while the creamy lather softens. Your skin feels massaged, renewed and silky.
We know the price tag might raise your eyebrow but this… bar… LASTS. Unlike other soaps that become mushy when left in water, this bar stays solid and only shrinks from use. Pick up yours during your next visit!
Leap into spring break fun – fuzz free!
Who couldn't use an extra day to get done all you need for spring break? One more day in February gives us a chance to prepare for our vaca- or stay-cation.
Now is the time to leap into your nearby Pia's to take...it...off! Of course we're talking about the hair in places you don't want! (What did you think we meant!?) Get that bikini area ready to show off in your favorite bathing suit. Our experts make waxing an art form. In fact, we're award winning!
Just make sure before you schedule your treatment, you haven't shaved the area for at least two weeks. This isn't just for skinny-minnies! Pregnant and overweight clients, don't worry. Waxing is safe. It's effective for any ethnicity. You may feel more sensitive if you're taking Accutane. Clients on blood thinners may bruise easier.
Choose bikini, Brazilian or completely bare. We also do legs, underarms, face, and backs (ahem...gentlemen...) Come take it off at Pia's!
