Lash and eyebrow tints

It is surprising to me how many people out there did not know that we can safely tint lash and eyebrow hair.

Tinting the lash hair can define the eye area. It darkens the hair to the base of the lash. Perfect for blonds, redheads or anyone who wishes their lashes to be darker. If you have an allergy to mascara or wear contacts and are sensitive to mascara this is a perfect solution. It will not thicken or lengthen the lashes but it will make the hairs considerably darker. This is also for those people that want to go on vacation and swim and not worry about mascara running. A typical lash tint will last approx 3 to 4 weeks.

Doing this in conjunction with the new lash lengthening solutions out there and you could have beautiful dark thick lashes without ever wearing mascara again!

Why tint eye brow hair? This is perfect for those of us that have light brow hair or have some grey or white hairs starting to come in. This procedure can also make fine or sparse brows appear thicker and fuller. This also lasts about 3 to 4 weeks.

It is important to note that we DO NOT use hair dye to do this with. These are safe vegetable semi-permanent dyes that are made to be used on the eyes or eye brows. A low 2% peroxide is used to activate the color process. Most people can get this done without a problem. But as with any product there will be some people that may have sensitivity to having this done. A good technician will stay with you while the process is done and watch for any adverse effects.

With summer coming this may be something you would like to try out! It won’t run or smudge in the heat!

Salon Elizabeth remodel!!

Times have been hard around the Detroit area as I am sure all of you who live here know and all of you that don't, have heard. This area has been feeling the effects of this recession at least a year ahead of the rest of the country. All small businesses in the area have been getting hit really,really hard. Many have closed down. Some of the Spa chains like the Green Door Spa have closed down and many other spas I know are struggling to keep the doors open.

In times like these while over head keeps going up we  in the industry have not been able to raise prices to off set these increases. In fact we have to run specials all the time to keep up with competition.So with all of this going on it is really hard to plan any type of make over or decor upgrade.
This is a picture of part of our lobby,

Not bad,but it's looked like that for several years now.
I would love the spa to take on some of the following looks,

But alas we do not have a spare 1/4 million to implement these types of renovations....so sad.
So what we ARE doing is starting with a nice fresh coat of paint . Doing a two tone look up front.A Teal accent wall with a Macadamia color on the rest of the walls.
Getting new stream lined black product displays. Changing up the wall art and putting in a fire place!OK ,well, not a REAL one,but a very nice fake one.
Our very talented  owner Mary has re-upholstered  the cushions on the couches. The redo will be well affordable and will give a fresh new look to our spa. The idea is to make the lobby as inviting as your living room. We are also giving the front counter a small upgrade as well.

So with new treatments ,Bamboo Fusion and the Iontosonic Facial treatment and some new fresh decor to welcome our guests with we are in for a very exciting spring!
Next new service will be a new nail treatment.
I will be writing about that soon!
