Decisions, Decisions...


With so many hair and beauty products on the market today, making decisions on the absolute best can be daunting and very time consuming. Don’t worry though - we’ve taken the guesswork out by selecting and providing the very best products for you at Pigalle Salon & MedSpa.

We wanted to introduce and share some of the exemplary product lines that we carry. Some you may already know about and some you may not. Nonetheless, all of them are of the highest grade and quality because we wouldn’t want anything less for ourselves or for you!


HAIR CARE




They’ve been around for over 50 years and have evolved with the times catering to hair care needs from a scientific approach. Here’s a short video of their history that we thought you might enjoy!


HAIR COLOR



Founded in 1959 and headquartered in Italy, Kemon has a simple approach to hair care – the use of the most natural, raw, or organic materials. Their hair color is 100% ammonia-free, PPD-free, with products that are made with fruit extracts and some are yogurt based. All in the name of wellness for hair and body. The two lines that we carry are Coloringreen and Nayo. There are two videos for you to watch. Don’t worry if you can’t read Italian, just trust us that this is one of the best color lines around!




SKIN CARE




Simplicity and aging later is the philosophy of Image Skincare. The company is run by founder and CEO Janna M. Ronnert and her husband who is a board certified plastic surgeon. We carry an extensive line of these products for over the counter purchase and our aestheticians are happy to assist and answer all of your questions.



NAIL LACQUER





O.P.I. is the world leader in professional nail care and we are proud to carry their luxurious lacquers. Their heavily pigmented lacquers are incredibly rich and long lasting and not to mention they are chip resistant!



Thank you for allowing us to share in some of the top product lines that we carry at Pigalle Salon & MedSpa. We hope the introduction of some of our product lines have taken the guesswork out of choosing the very best products for yourself because we want nothing short of the best for our friends and families!

Style It Up With Social Media

I am about to make two assumptions here, just follow me because it should come together soon.I am pretty sure it is safe to say that we all get in ruts with style. We may go through a period of time that we apply our makeup the same, when we wear the same hairstyle for weeks on end, and when we don’t have the inspiration to try something new. Another assumption is that most of you who are reading this, use at least one social media platform such as Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, Twitter, Blogs, or Pinterest. Here comes my thought: Why not put those two assumptions together! Yes, that is right, learn how to use social media to become inspired on new looks! The sky is the limit for new ideas and often times these ideas are accompanied by tutorials. So let’s interconnect the two and pull you out of that style rut!

So if you are ready to push aside boring hair and makeup, I have some solutions!

HERE ARE MY TOP PICKS AND MUST SEES!

Microblading or Eyebrow Embroidery

Gone are the days of eyebrow pencils! Now you have the convenient option of microblading or eyebrow embroidery that saves you time for the more important things in life.

Offered exclusively at Pigalle Salon & MedSpa, microblading or eyebrow embroidery, is a semi-permanent solution to thinning eyebrows or for someone that just wants to enhance their natural appearance. Based on the technique that works best for you, the end result can save you valuable time and last for up to 3 years.

The process is comparable to the eyebrow tattooing of yesterday. However, this is a more precise process that takes an accomplished eye to construct the perfect eyebrow for you. Extensive training is involved for all of Pigalle’s eyebrow technicians to insure that you receive the most complimentary color and shape for your face.

Microblading or eyebrow embroidery is applied by hand with a fine blade that deposits the appropriate pigment into the epidermal layers of the skin. This permits the pigment to be placed closer to the surface of the skin that creates a sharper and more natural appearance of the eyebrow hair.

Below are some of Pigalle Salon & MedSpa's actual clients and the artistic superiority of the eyebrow technicians. AMAZING TRANSFORMATIONS!








There are 3 techniques available for you to choose based off of your needs:

1.    Ultra HD Brows involve the creation of a volume pattern imitating the natural growth, direction, thickness, bend, and color of the eyebrow through ultra think, multi-length, and multi-color pigmented strokes. This technique can last up to 3 years.
2.     6D Brows create a natural feathering of hair-like strokes imitating natural hair growth while filling in sparse areas of the eyebrow. The result is a fuller and thicker appearance. This lasts for up to 2 years.
3.     Slide and Tap Brows create thin hair strokes an add shadows by tapping the pigment into a desired pattern creating a more natural eyebrow lasting for up to 12 months.


Not only will you have natural looking and perfectly refined eyebrows, but you’ll have so much more time to dedicate to the things in life that are truly important to you! Make a consultation and find out how Pigalle Salon & MedSpa can make a difference in your life!


Best,
William

VI PEEL is the PEELS

Glowing and radiant skin in 7 days without much downtime? This is what Pigalle Salon & MedSpa can give to you with their VI Peel! A combination of acids and vitamins applied to the skin from one of their trained aestheticians, the VI Peel offers superior results for sun-damaged and aging skin. The process is virtually painless and surpasses the obsolete process of other peels on the market where a “no pain, no gain” approach was prevalent.

The VI Peel delivers a “true repair” of your skin by affecting the cellular level opposed to just burning off the skin. By affecting the cellular level, there is a boost in collagen and elastin production that provides a tightening of the skin – no scalpel needed! Not only does the IV Peel soften fine lines and wrinkles, but it is also effective in the removal of age spots and hyper-pigmentation resulting in a healthier and more youthful appearance. Take a look at some of these ‘before’ and ‘after’ photographs of actual clients from the Vitality Institute’s website:






AMAZING RESULTS!!

Of course, depending on the condition of your skin more than one treatment may be necessary. It’s also suggested that one treatment every 6 months is recommended as maintenance for your new and healthy skin.

We spend countless hours at the gym and watching what we eat because we want to look and feel great. After a 30 to 45 minute treatment and little downtime afterwards, you can experience unparalleled results. Why not treat yourself and compliment all of your efforts with a VI Peel from Pigalle Salon & MedSpa?

Until next time,
William
