  • Let customers select their own essential oils to mix into lotions and scrubs

  • Create custom-blended polish shades

  • Offer a skin tone analysis to find the most flattering polish shades

  • Stock a client’s favorite herbal tea to sip during her pedicure

  • Offer reflexology or another relaxing add-on, such as scalp massage
