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!

2015 Beauty Trends

Beauty trends change all the time and seem to vary depending on who you ask. So you might ask yourself, “What is really the style?” I have scoured all of the most prestigious beauty expert’s advice for 2015 to put together a couple key staples that are consistent no matter where you look. These looks are clean and easy enough that every woman can incorporate them into her look.

For Hair: Ecaille, Tortoise Shell Hair Color Technique

"Ombre who?" Ombre is taking on a whole new sophistication and is turning heads. This trend called Ecaille actually started in Paris and is steadily finding its way to be to the number one look all over the world. It does have a striking resemblance to the ombre with darker root and lighter ends, but incorporates caramel tones, golden highlights, amber tones and major shine to give it a more natural look. If you did not follow the whole ombre trend because it was too shocking this is a much more subtle and can look great on any woman of any age!

For Skin: Bare-Faced

Bare-faced skin is back in! You do not need all of that makeup to look beautiful. Think of this technique as minimal and natural makeup. If you feel more comfortable with a little bit of powder, which is understandable however a light pat is all you need. "Less is more."

You will want to invest in an esthetician to make sure your skin is ready for this trend. Why, you ask? Find an experienced esthetician to help you get to know your skin better. They look at your skin under the microscope and help you find a regime that works for your skin. An esthetician can make suggestions on how to keep your skin looking healthy, blemish free, and wrinkle free. Believe it or not you can save yourself a lot of hassle and money trusting in their recommendations. Treat yourself, you deserve it! It will be relaxing and you can gain some insightful knowledge on how to maintain glowing skin that everyone notices. 

Lips: A Bold lip

All of the quality fashion sources from vogue to style.com are calling for a bold lip in 2015. By bold lip I mean a bold color, not a Botox injection! A simple application of lipstick can be scary to some women, many women do say that it does lift confidence levels. So give this a try! 

One Last Trend: A Braid

A simple braid in your hair is the latest trend from 2014 and is here to stay in 2015. A braid is no longer a hairstyle for a little girl, women of all ages can implement this into their hairstyle collection.

To close this week’s blog I am including a video to show you all how to do a side braid in your hair. Do not get discouraged, practice makes perfect! Enjoy!
