Wax On Hair Off

10/5/2018

 
Excited to share that bikini and brazilian waxing services have been added to our menu of services.  I use only hard wax, with a brand that I've found to be superior to many others I have tested.  Hard wax is fantastic as it adheres more to the hair and less to the skin, making for a less painful experience.  After the wax, a quick high frequency treatment is given, which helps with preventing ingrown hairs, reduce redness, eliminate bacteria and helps promote skin healing.

Getting Married?  Should you spray tan?

8/14/2018

 
One of my peers in the industry shared that a bride was told by her wedding photographer NOT to get a spray tan prior. Their reasoning was that no matter what, it would look orange.

That’s a myth, or a sign of an inexperienced photographer. Or maybe they had an experience with a bride who really did get a bad spray tan and struggled with the development and final look.

The facts are though, that a skilled photographer knows the nuances of color correction, as a slight adjustment in the post can drop the orange saturation. And a skilled spray tan artist knows how to give a natural looking tan - but that’s a subject for another day!

We have a package offer for a trial tan for brides and day of tan. Contact us for more information.

What Is Drying Powder?

8/11/2018

 
You know the saying the best thing since sliced bread?  Yeah.  Drying powder is like that for spray tans.  Remember how in the past you may have felt sticky and uncomfortable for hours after while it develops?  Well, drying powder virtually eliminates that problem.  We apply our proprietary shimmering formula from head to toe, leaving you smelling delicious and feeling dry.  While you still need to baby your new tan as it develops (no sweating or workouts), you can feel comfortable and go about your day without feeling awkward.  Some of our clients have even wanted to keep it on and never wash it off!  

​The best part of all is that it all falls under our white glove philosophy, and there is never an extra charge for this added service.  

About organic spray tans...

7/16/2018

 
So they don't exist.  Some overseas brands will insist that it's eco-cert DHA, but as the FDA won't classify DHA as an organic ingredient in the states, that point is moot. Other brands have outdated marketing or are misleading those who purchase their solutions, which is why you may see spray tanners make the organic claim.

We carry a variety of solutions that contain natural and organic ingredients.  One of our lines has very high quality ingredients added to it, such as red wine extract, reseveratrol, muscadine grape seed extract and hyraluonic acid to give as much moisture to the skin as possible.  I've tried many, many brands throughout the years.  In my research, I have even found brands that have even had that funky spray tan smell that developed to be a result of having formaldehyde in their ingredient list.  Yet their marketing materials promote it as organic DHA!  Don't believe the hype.
