Long-Lasting Pedicure and Younger-Looking Hands

Even with a perfectly polished pedi, summer activities like walking, running, hiking or even a day at the pool or beach could eventually make your feet less than flawless.  After a while, the shine of your polish may start to fade and chip. Luckily, there are a few simple ways that you can prolong the look of your pedicure.  Here are a few tips that will keep your toes looking fabulous for extra days.

First off, you should re-coat your dry nails with a top coat BEFORE you see any chipping as prevention. Re-applying your top coat every once in a while will keep your polish looking fresh, shiny and chip-free.

Secondly, be sure to buy your favorite OPI nail polish from our salons and take it around with you! This way you can cover any small chips that you may have and really extend the life of your pedicure. Take it on your vacation and fix those unavoidable chips after a long day at the beach.  Apply a top coat afterward and wait until it dries before slipping into your sandals!

And now that you have all the tips to prolong your pedi, another quick thing that we should all be mindful of is taking care of our hands!  Many of us remember to protect our faces in the summer, but what about the most exposed part of our bodies? Our hands are out in the open the most and it is important to take care of them.

Be sure to wear a broad spectrum sunscreen on your hands when outside. This will protect them from the sun’s damaging rays and help prevent signs of aging. You also want to exfoliate your hands between regular manicure visits. Ask your licensed nail professional for any home care treatments and products that you can use! You also want to carry hand cream AT ALL TIMES. Moisturize those hands often to keep them looking smooth and fresh!
 
Follow these easy tips and you will have a longer-lasting pedicure and younger-looking hands. Schedule yourself a lemonade manicure and pedicure to keep your summer going on the right foot (and hand!) Call 614.418.5350 or go online to book your appointment today.

10 Services to Help You Spring into Spring!

It’s time to leave the winter blues behind and spring into spring! We have provided you with 10 services offered at all of our salons that are sure to leave you feeling rejuvenated, refreshed and ready for the new season! Some of these services are tried-and-true, while others are brand new!

1: Haircut & Color-

Change is good. Bring in the spring with a new cut, color and/or style. Bobs with shattered layers toward the bottom are the hot trend for spring this year- a change from the previous round bob trend.

The big come back is blunt bangs. Whether your hair is short or long, bangs are a trendy way to spruce up your cut.

As far as color this spring, the trend is to keep it YOU but make a change. If you have all-over color, add some highlights or go a shade darker. If you already have highlights, try adding in a color to enhance what you already have.


2: Style-

The fishtail braid is definitely the season’s most popular hairstyle. Celebrities such as Rihanna, Kim Kardashian and Angela Simmons have all been seen rocking this fabulous do. The reason why it works is because the braid isn’t too tight against the head, making it look soft and elegant. Some other styles to try are double knots, top knots, french twists and french braids!



3: Alterna Caviar Rejuvenation Treatment-

Spring this year isn’t only about color, it's also about repair. With all of the hot tools and chemicals used in your hair over the years, it could use some fixing. It’s important to restore moisture to your hair after those dry winter months. This revolutionary three-step conditioning system minimizes the visible signs of aging by repairing and reconditioning hair damaged by chemical, mechanical and environmental elements.


4: Lemonade Manicure and Pedicure

This BRAND NEW seasonal service will be sure to rejuvenate your skin this spring. Available at the end of this month, the Lemonade Manicure and Pedicure combines the alluring scents of sparkling lemon and Yuzu (Japanese citrus fruit) with vanilla, ginger and white tea, transforming every hand and foot care service into a therapeutic spa experience. It starts out with a Lemon Sugar Buff Scrub, which will smooth away dry, rough skin. Next a Lemon Tonic Mask with shea butter extract is applied to soothe the skin, and a lemon slice is placed on top to remove impurities. The mask is then removed and a lemon slice is used to buff your nails, making them brighter and whiter! The finishing touch is a Lemon Tonic Lotion that locks in moisture and leaves your skin feeling luxurious and ready for spring! Grab a refreshing pink lemonade from our beverage bar to really make this service the ultimate treat!



5: GelColor by OPI

New GelColor by OPI is a MUST for women on the go! In just 30 minutes, a polish-on gel is applied to the nail and is cured under a LED light. The result is durable, glossy and chip-free color for WEEKS! GelColor is available in several of OPI’s iconic shades! This is a revolutionary polish system that will have you prepared for all of the adventures spring is sure to bring!



6: AIRTAN-

Miss that sun-kissed glow you had last year? Has winter left your skin looking dull and lifeless? You definitely want to check out our AIRTAN sunless airbrush tanning service. This is the perfect service to have you looking fresh for any spring event. The active ingredient is a derivative of natural sugars, making it a safe alternative to tanning beds or outdoor tanning for almost anyone. With this service, your new tan will last 5-7 days!



7: Makeup Lesson and Application-

Spring means it’s time for a new makeup color palette! Find out what  colors will look best on you this spring. Our Licensed Estheticians will apply makeup and show you how you can enhance your best features using simple application techniques. As an added bonus, you get to take home a personalized face chart to refer to that plots out the best products and colors for you!



8: Lactic Plus Peel-

This advanced peel specialty facial contains organic lactic acid, enhanced by pumpkin fruit enzymes and stimulating pomegranate to provide a powerful surface peel for dulling skin. Your Licensed Esthetician can help you choose which level of exfoliation best suits your needs. This peel will dramatically improve that lifeless and rough winter skin, providing you with a new, fresh spring look!  A word to the wise, make sure you’re super cautious about sun exposure after this service.  Be sure to load up on the SPF.  A great sunscreen to try is the Jan Marini Skin Research antioxidant SPV 30. Its full spectrum and waterproof!



9: Hair Removal-

The spring means it’s time to ditch the sweaters and bring out the short sleeves! We offer all kinds of hair removal services, from eyebrows and underarms to the bikini area and legs. Try out our unique threading technique that doesn’t contain any chemicals or wax, which is great for sensitive skin. This technique uses a twisted cotton thread to entwine hairs and pluck them from the follicle. This is a great way to accurately shape the brows, and it’s quick and painless! Get rid of that unwanted hair and don’t be afraid to show some skin as warmer weather approaches!



10: Body Polish Massage-

This massage is a must-have if you want to enter spring with a renewed look. A gentle exfoliating lotion is applied to resurface the skin. After a refreshing shower, a soothing massage is performed to hydrate and restore the luster of your skin, giving you healthy and polished skin just in time for spring! Trust us- with our seasonal scents of coconut lime and cranberry, you won’t want to go without it this year.




Ready to spring into spring and schedule an appointment for one of our services? You can call (614.418.5350) or you can book it online!
