Happy Holidays from Moda Bella

Happy Holidays from Moda Bella

Let’s find out what’s HAPPENING in Downtown Kenosha this holiday season at Moda Bella Salon and Spa as we talk w/ owner Tracy Haas to get all the holiday details with this exclusive Q&A.

Q. Do you have any special promotions or events planned for the upcoming holiday?
A. Holiday Pre-Order Sale now through November 10th. Plus more specials running through the holiday season including surprise sales! Stay tuned to our Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok.

Q. What are the most popular holiday products or services you offer?
A. Our guests have always love our Aveda holiday gift sets, because of the beautiful packaging and they save 20% off the retail price. The hands-down favorite set has been Aveda’s Hand Relief Trio which contains 3 different scents of Aveda’s famous lotion with aromatherapy benefits. This year we are so excited to also offer Davines gift sets, that also come in adorable packaging and a huge variety of products offered.
We are happy to wrap any gifts, send out gift cards and offer convenient curbside service for those busy weeks before the holidays. We also have our gift sets posted in our blog on our website at modabella-salon.com. You can use our easy order form or just email a list of everything you want.

Q. Are there any unique holiday traditions or customs associated with your business?
A. Moda Bella has our very own “Holiday Elf”. Her name is Rose and she magically decorates every year and amazes all of us. We can’t wait to see her magic touches every year, and it always puts us all in the holiday spirit! We also do a Toys-For-Tots drive every year at the salon. Anyone is free to stop by throughout the season and drop off an unwrapped new toy which will be donated to underprivileged children.
Every year we have a holiday raffle basket filled with Aveda products and spa gift card.  Guests who make holiday pre-orders or purchase a gift set all get to enter in the drawing to win. This year we are actually doing two baskets so we can include our new product line, Davines. Each basket is valued at $300 and the winner is drawn during cyber week. We always love seeing who wins and enjoy seeing them come to pick up their gift.
Another holiday favorite at Moda Bella is our Hot Chocolate Bar. Our guests can enjoy a buffet of Hot Chocolate toppings and add ons during their visit.  Our whole team loves the festive feeling of the holidays throughout the whole season. We have a station decorating contest that our guests all vote on – that’s fun for everyone as well. We go live on Facebook and Instagram for the official final vote, where we give away prizes to our guests and staff.

Q. Can you share a memorable holiday story or experience related to your business?
A. I think the best part is getting together with the staff and celebrating with them, and just letting them know just how much we appreciate them all. We always have a big Christmas party and do a Secret Santa gift exchange which is always so fun.

Q. What is one of your favorite holiday memories?
A. My personal best memory is when my husband proposed to me on Christmas Eve. He and my Mom made a sign that said “Will you marry me?”then cut it into pieces and wrapped each piece in a different box. I was nervous and wondering why my whole family was gathered around watching me. I finally read the message and turned around to see my husband with the ring. I was in tears and so happy…it was the best holiday memory ever!

Q. Do you have tips for finding the best holiday gift?
A. We get all the husbands calling us in December to grab their wife’s favorite product with a gift certificate. It seems so thoughtful when someone calls the salon to find out what their loved ones enjoy. You can’t lose by getting them something you know they already love.

Q. What are the best ways for customers to stay updated on your holiday hours and offerings?
A. Social Media — Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok.

Q. What does our business have in store for 2024?
A. Every year we just hope to improve our skills and find ways to show up better and better for our guests. We love just being that place where they can come and escape the world for a while.  We hope to add new spa services to add to that experience and put more information out there for our guests to learn about everything we have available.

Q. What do you love about the holiday season in Downtown Kenosha?
A. The progress made in the Kenosha downtown area over the last decade is amazing. Kenosha has been home to me my whole life and I love what a tight knit community it is.  I’m happy we now have so many ways for people to celebrate together, like the tree lighting and ice skating. It so it’s great to see all the small shops supported by the community. We really have so many great shopping opportunities downtown with unique items to buy for Christmas. And it just keeps getting better every year.
