The Juicy Beauty Word

It was a bustling weekend for us at the salon. We did the hair and makeup for a prom fashion show. Crazy busy and lots of fun! It felt like preparing the beautiful young women to get in their gowns and go to the Oscars! There are 4 big makeup trends to look for prom. The focus is on bold brows, bright lips, dewy moist skin and lashes. To get the look.... Brows Let your brows grow in. Then, have them professionally shaped. Use a brow powder to darken them and fill in the sparse areas. Choose a brow color close to the color of your eyebrow hairs. Lips Choose a bright rose, pink, coral or red lipstick. Use a lip liner to define your lips. Your lip liner color should be similar to the lipstick color to keep the bright color bold and clear. Skin Get your skin looking moist and dewy with a good skin care regimen. Use a facial cleanser formulated for your skin type, followed by a toner and moisturizer. BB creams are fabulous for creating a...

Once in a while, I have a client who experiences hives immediately after a waxing. They can be small itchy bumps right where hairs were or larger welts that look like mosquito bites. The hives only last a short time. An hour at most. Typically, hives on the area that was waxed first, are already fading by the time the waxing service is completed.  This is a histamine reaction. The body is reacting to the hairs being pulled out. The body is perceiving the hair removal as a threat. The immune system springs into action producing histamine to fight the threat, like an allergic reaction. Does this mean my client was allergic to the wax? No. The body is reacting to the irritation of the hair being pulled out not the wax itself, producing inflammation and hives as a defense mechanism. Calm the Reaction There are some things you can do to calm the reaction. You could take an anti histamine allergy medication such as Zyrtec before you get waxed. After waxing, apply a thin layer of an ...

Q. My skin is breaking out. My friend uses rubbing alcohol on her face as toner. Will it help clear my skin up?   A. Don't do it!  Rubbing alcohol, which is isopropyl alcohol, is not a good toner. It will over dry your skin and create a tough dead cell layer of skin which will actually clog the pores more. Use a toner containing salicylic acid to gently remove dead skin cells and calm inflammation. A toner is used after using a facial cleanser to remove any leftover cleanser and treat skin conditions.
