Lavish Christmas 2011

This year the Lavish ladies and gentlemen celebrated in our annual Christmas Party on Sunday December 4th. Where better to have the festivities than at Lavish Salon and Day Spa where clients shared in the holiday spirit. As the night continued, awards were given to Lavish employees for their hard work. Here's the 2011 List of winners:



...Award for Most New Clients: Berdy Martinez

 ....Award for Most Improved: Kellie Rehnert

 ...Award for Most Products Sold: Sarah Leslie

 ...Award for Best Employee of the Year: Brandy Chavez

The 99.1 employees helped us celebrate as well. ODM The Voice of the IE shown at the bottom, had a dance off with our stylist Brandon Nichols. Overall the night was successful in rewarding the Lavish team and bringing in the Holiday Season the Lavish way. 

Lavish Team at the Loma Linda Ronald Mconald House

The Lavish Team is truly blessed to be able to give back to our community. On Monday December 5 our team went to the Ronald McDonald House in Loma Linda, a holiday tradition for Lavish. We spent the day pampering the families with haircuts, blow drys, manicures, waxing, and massages.

Our massage therapist Tamara was performing massages in one of the most warm inviting living rooms any of us have ever seen. A much needed stress relief for the parents of the children that are in the hospital.

Esthetician Erika and Nail Techinician Berdy were Lavishing up the ladies and gentlemen in the formal dining room. They provided waxing services and manicures. The little ones also joined in on the pampering.

Our stylists Samantha, Sarah, Cecy, Brandy, Kellie & Brandon were in the patio giving haircuts and styles. Having a sick child leaves little time for self maintenance. Needless to say everyone left feeling lavish and more relaxed.

Diana Wehbe from 991 KGGI was there bonding and cracking jokes with the families. A laugh can always turn someones day around. She also was handing out WeBe Chillen shirts.

It was a moving experience for our team to be able to reach out and provide services for these families who are going through a rough time. We are reminded of how much something so simple as a haircut can go a long way. Bonding and sharing laughter brought the Lavish team that much closer to the Ronald McDonald House this 2nd time around.

                                        Back to school looking LAVISH!


Whether we like it or not...It's time for school! But its not ALL bad, all it means is that there's new styles and new fashions! My favorite season is fall because you get to wear comfy sweaters, boots, and cute jeans. However, just because you like to be warm and comfortable, does not mean you have to be sloppy and messy. Going back to school is your chance to set your style for the year and express yourself through how you dress. in case you need a little help with finding some new trends, I have researched some new and trendy looks!


First New Trend: TRIBAL:

Tribal prints are the coolest summer/fall look. They give you and edginess to any look. even adding a native inspired necklace to jeans and a t-shirt will amp up your outfit to the next level.

 
Second school look-  Sweaters!! Sweaters are so cute and not to mention comfy! They complete any look and have no fuss about them! You can just throw it on with jeans and be ready to go! There's so many styles to choose from. Like wraps, shirt styles, vest, and not to mention cardigans! Cardigans are very functional because there light weight and you can wear them with almost  everything!

Last but not least- Boots!: Boots are so versatile and useful. They come in so many styles and colors. They go with everything and can be worn again and again.

So we are sooooo excited about the success of our latest photo shoot. On July 12th we had a huge shoot at Lavish Salon for our newest retail product Violent Lips which turned out amazing.

The long day started with the models with our Make-up Department with Makeup Artists Nikki Garcia and our very own Ashley Swank and Erika Murguia. Then made their way into our Hair department where the the transformations continued with Master Stylists Samantha Murguia and Senior Stylists Sarah Leslie and

                                                                           SPF



Its summer! And we all know what that means… fun in the sun! But, we have to remember to protect our skin! Sun block is the most important summer essential. Without it our skin will get sunburned and dry. SPF is the SUN PROTECTION FACTOR, that means it measures how much it protects us, not how long we can stay in the sun. Many people believe “ the more SPF the better”’ but that’s not the case. SPF above 30 has many chemicals and can be dangerous to your skin. In between 15 and 30 is safe and healthy.

Sunblock comes in many different variations from lotions to sprays. But make sure to put a special sun block for your face. Many tinted moisturizers have an SPF of 15, which is perfect for your face Lavish has many sun blocks for your face, which come in powders or lotions. It all depends on what makes you feel better and comfortable.

Braids

Braids have been around for a long time, but they have never been so stylish! There are so many styles and varieties. For example, fishtails, French, twist. They can give a casual look a modern twist. You can go for a dramatic updo, or a casual accessory. Sometimes, it feels good to just let your hair loose, and sweep a braid to the side. The possibilities are endless…

Paris keeps it casual, yet modern.

Stylish, but soo pretty!

Test Your Products...

Do you know what’s going into your skin? It’s a known fact that our skin is the largest organ of the body and is responsible for regulating your external and internal balances. A survey carried out by the US National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health found that 884 chemicals used in personal care products and cosmetics were toxic and estimate that women absorb up to 2 kilograms of chemicals through toiletries and cosmetics over the course of a year. The importance of understanding the ingredients you digest carries through to your skin care products, so be sure to focus on the healthier options...let's see how you do!




1) Take any of your favorite skin care products. Turn to the ingredients and see if you can name the preservatives.


Éminence uses natural preservatives such as honey, glycine derivatives, lemon and salicylic acid and always recommends products that use natural preservatives in place of chemical preservatives. If you can't find it in nature, you won't find it on our labels!


2) What do you smell in your skin care products?


Éminence’s products are bursting with fruit pulp and juices which contain the natural scent of each ingredient. Éminence recommends the use of essential and natural oils as opposed to assorted harmful synthetic fragrances or chemical fragrances.


3) Does your favorite body wash foam up or clean up?


Éminence uses natural cleansing agents that may not foam, however, will cleanse the skin just as well as other cleansers which may use chemicals.


4) Take out your favorite lip balm. Turn to the ingredients and see if it contains shea butter.


Recommended ingredients to keep lips moisturized are shea butter and sunflower seed oil that not only provide hydration but also a sexy sheen for the lips! Naturally occurring peptides also provide a collagen-boosting plumping action that fills in fine lines and makes lips voluptuous.

Want to try out  Éminence Organics and at the same time get pampered? Schedule an appointment for one of our many facials offered here at Lavish Salon and day Spa where our Skin Therapist uses Éminence products that are perfect for your specific skin type.

                           KEEPING IT LAVISH.....DOWN THERE.

So lets talk about this subject that us as women can sometimes cringe even thinking about! WAXING!!!…and not just waxing anywhere, but down there! Yes, I said it DOWN THERE!

Have you ever wondered how you can get that “clean canvas”, or just more groomed in that area? Well for those who shave, most likely know it’s a pain and soooo… time consuming. Not only that it can leave your skin rough and irritated by razor burn and before you know it, 2-3 days later the dreadful stubbles are back!

So here’s what we say, wax, wax, wax!

The genital area is a very sensitive part of your body and the skin as well. So it should be treated with care. At Lavish we offer everything you would need to keep it pretty in your lower regions.

Now here’s the lingo we use for the different services you can receive, so when you come in you know exactly what to ask for!

Bikini: Hair is removed everywhere on and outside of where your bikini line is.

                     Brazilian: Hair is removed from the front except for a thin strip; also hair is completely removed from the back.

Playboy: Hair is removed completely from front to back.

FAQ’s

Q: Does it hurt?

A: Of course, however with each time you get the service the pain usually is less and less. And PAIN is BEAUTY ladies!!!!

Q: How long does the hair need to be?

A: The hair needs to be between a quarter of an inch to a half inch so if you have a a lot going on down there make sure to do some trimming prior to your appointment.

Q: How long does it take for the hair to grow back?

A: This is different for every client but usually it’s about 4-5 weeks before you need have your next appointment.

Q: Will the hair grow back thicker?

A: No. Actually you will see that your hair will come back thinner even after your first visit. Awesome right?!?

Q: How long does the service take?

A: Its pretty quick! Each service varies but approx. 30-45 minutes.

Our Skin Therapist is amazing and makes your visit as comfortable as possible for her clients. If you have any other questions about these services or any others that  we offer you can call us here at Lavish Salon and Day Spa and we will be happy to answer them!

Eminence Clear Skin

Eminence Clear Skin

We all know acne can be a big problem for teenagers! But, it doesn’t have to be like that! Eminence has come out with a new line of pills to help us with this crisis. Their new line offers a variety of pills, for aging, dry skin, and for acne prone skin!
You take these once a day and in about 3 days you can see a BIG difference. I have only been taking them for a week and about 50% of the redness and bumps have gone away!!
These pills come in a pill so that it could get further into your body, and have a better effect. Make sure to stop by Lavish and get some.

Feather Party

Last night, I hosted a feather party at Lavish! It was so much fun, and thank you to everyone that came. People were able to pick out their own feathers and make a bundle. We had all different colors and sizes. Everyone was able to put a little bit of their own style into their new lavish hair. Clients were able to make their feather extensions with either locks or clips, but most people preferred the locks. The locks stay in your hair for about 1-2 months and the clips are just that, you can clip them in and out of your hair at anytime.

I learned a lot from the party. I learned how to mix colors together and how to interact with people. LG’s (Lavish Girls) Cecy and Ashley even taught me how to bond the bundles and how to put them in! I am further learning the Lavish business.

Again, thank you to everyone for coming down

XOXO,

 Karla

PS. Pics to come!



Blown Away by the Brazilian Blowout

The Brazilian Blowout is the hottest hair treatment. It’s a treatment that takes away frizz from your hair. It doesn’t straighten it but makes it a LOT healthier. When you get a Brazilian, you don’t even have to blow dry your hair because it makes it dry faster and it looks styled too!

I was so happy when I got mine done! Since I have thick hair, I hated blow drying my hair, but with the Brazilian I didn’t have too! I would just towel dry my hair and presto! It looked so pretty and felt so soft. My hair looked natural, but with no frizz at all!

Anyone can get the Brazilian Blowout. It doesn’t matter if your hair is curly/straight or if you’re young/old! It’s a big hit with celebrities like Jennifer Lopez, Nicole Richie and Ashley Tisdale.

Parents are now investing in it for their teens. They don’t have to fight over the teens hair anymore lol. My mom and I go together to get our Brazilian Blowouts done all the time. It’s Perfect mother daughter bonding & creating Lavish hair in one!

You can get your Brazilian Blowout at Lavish! If you mention this blog you can receive the $300 service for only $150! Yup you read right. 

*SPECIAL IS FOR THIS MONTH ONLY*

Always keepin’ you Lavish

Feathers, Feathers and more FEATHERS!

     Feather hair extensions are a way to show your fun sense of style! They are totally CUTE! You can curl them, flat iron, ect....and they stay in for months!

Colors:
     Feathers come in a variety of colors, ranging from purple to black! But the colors you choose really depend on your personal style. I have a group of them: green, cream, yellow and gray. I chose these colors because they blend together. Its best if you have one stand out piece with a couple of neutral colors, because it can become hard to wear a colorful outfit if you have a rainbow in your hair! Remember.....balance is the key!

Size and amount:
     When choosing your feathers, you should make sure the extension is NOT longer than your hair! They are meant to be an accessory, not a bird's nest. Overdoing it is not Lavish.

                                              Selena looks cute here.
                                              Note: She keeps it simple.

Steven Tyler OVERDOES it.

Please BALANCE!

    Feather Party.....

 I'll be hosting a Feather Party next month so make sure to come by

and create your own feather extension with you own personal touch!

• 3 feathers- $25.00
• 5 feathers- $30.00

    *Includes installation

    Date: June 8th, 2011

   Time: 6pm-7pm
