As the calendar turns to January and the cold settles in, our skin quietly bears the brunt of winter’s dry air and indoor heating. That is why this time of year is ideal for turning inward and focusing on restorative care that supports the skin long term. At JASK Salon + Day Spa in Stittsville, winter is seen as an opportunity to replenish, repair and reset through professional spa services designed to protect skin through the harshest months.
Founded in 2003 by owner Bob Tajeri-Goharzad, JASK is a full-service salon and day spa offering hair services alongside facials, body treatments, manicures, pedicures, waxing, threading and sugaring. The space has built a loyal following for its calm atmosphere, skilled team and thoughtful approach to beauty and wellness. Whether clients are visiting for the first time or have been coming for years, the focus is always on care that feels intentional and effective.
Facials become especially important in winter, when cold outdoor air and indoor heating can strip moisture from the skin, leading to dryness, irritation and sensitivity. JASK’s facial treatments are designed to deeply hydrate, calm redness and restore balance to skin that feels tight, dull or fatigued. By strengthening the skin barrier and boosting circulation, these treatments help skin retain moisture more effectively and maintain a healthy glow throughout the season.
Winter can be equally demanding on the body. Dry, flaky skin often shows up on the legs, elbows and other exposed areas, making body treatments an essential part of seasonal care. At JASK, exfoliating and hydrating body services help smooth rough texture, deeply nourish the skin and improve absorption of lotions and oils. The result is skin that feels softer, more comfortable and better equipped to handle winter conditions.
Hands and feet also take a hit during the colder months. Frequent hand washing, dry air and temperature changes can lead to cracked cuticles, dry nail beds and rough heels. JASK’s manicures and pedicures focus on repairing and hydrating stressed skin while keeping nails strong and healthy. These services are as practical as they are relaxing, offering relief when hands and feet need it most.
Winter is also one of the best times of year for hair removal services such as waxing, threading and sugaring. With less sun exposure and cooler temperatures, skin tends to be calmer and less reactive, allowing for gentler treatments and longer-lasting results. Regular exfoliation paired with professional hair removal can also help prevent dryness and ingrown hairs, setting the skin up for smoother results heading into spring.
Beyond the immediate benefits, winter spa care plays an important role in long-term skin health. Well-hydrated skin ages more gracefully and recovers more easily from environmental stress. Professional treatments also support and enhance at-home routines, creating a foundation for healthier skin year-round.
At JASK Salon + Day Spa, winter is viewed as a season of restoration. It is a time to slow down, repair what has been stressed and invest in care that lasts beyond the cold months. For anyone looking to begin the year feeling refreshed, nourished and well cared for, January is the perfect moment to make spa self-care a priority.
