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
