What our Salon Does for You

When we are all watching our money, we sometimes wonder if we could get by with cutting back on a few things. And the answer is, a qualified yes. I say qualified, because you have to make sure that what you’re cutting back on will result in true savings and not in bad choices.

There certainly are salons that will give you a facial for a pretty inexpensive price. However, your skincare needs change in the summer, usually causing your complexion to suffer. The question you have to ask yourself, is whether that discount salon has the best qualified people for the job. Some thought they would save a few dollars and went to where they thought they would get a better discount for a facial. Not only were they disappointed,they were infuriated and absolutely hated the results of their facials and ended up going to our salon to have us fix the problem...

Fortunately,because our skin specialist Regina Jackson who has been with us for over 20 years can spot the problem with your damage skin and with close analysis and treatments get it back in shape. Her specialty is the 90 minute Microdermabrasion applied with a diamond tip.wand that exfoliates the skin while it vacuums the outer layer of dead skin cells away. This non-surgical technique which stimulates the production of collagen (the building block of skin) and elastin (allows the skin to stretch without losing shape) restores the vibrancy and youthfulness to your complexion.

Additionally, the products our salon sells are far superior to those you find in discount stores. Most of the products in those stores are knock-offs, and are not made with the ingredients you are expecting. The products you most need to purchase from your salon are products desighed to give your skin the following benefits: erase wrinkles and fine lines, reduce appearance of large pores, reduce sun damage and stretch marks, diminish scars, remove whiteheads, blackheads and unclog pores, reduce mild hyper pigmentation, firm skin and muscle tissue to reduce sagging skin.

One of the most important qualities our salon and aesthetician has is we treat all clients like special people that they are. You are greeted by name. It is flattering that we remember that you like cream in your coffee or tea (always complimentary) and it is the one time our clients will give in to a tasty treat that is always available. Our Aesthetician is always happy to see you and is eager to hear what’s new in your life. Your facial is never complete without the short but invigorating neck massage all the way down your neck. Our Clients tell us that this treatment is the biggest reason they return to our salon.

As winter approaches, we're going to be inside a lot more, using the heat to keep us comfortable. How green is your home? Did you know that you can ask your utility company to come in and do an audit of your home. Most of the time this is free. Some places charge a nominal fee to help you identify places where you might be wasting energy.

Make sure you have fully insulated your home. This includes your attic, basement, walls, water heater, and pipes. This can save you a ton of money. Make sure your windows are prtected with weather-stripping to prevent drafts.

Does your community participate in a recycling program? Did you know that just about everything that is routinely thrown away can be recycled? Paper, plastic, this includes direct mail with its glossy finish and bright colors. Even if you don’t have curbside recycling, you can set up a space in your garage to separate things like newspapers, cans, plastic bottles, etc. Some communities even pay you to bring your recyclables in to their center.

Try this on for size….swap out your incandescent lightbulbs for flourescents. They have come a long way. You can get warm colors, cool colors, some even mimic sunlight. You'll slash your energy costs in half or more!

Eat Chocolate!

Researchers have discovered that eating dark chocolate is a really sweet way to lower your blood pressure. Dark chocolate is a powerful source of antioxidant phenols that have recently been found to lower blood pressure.

Eating 100 grams of dark chocolate each day for two weeks lowered the blood pressures of the study group by as much as five systolic points.

Now, eating that much chocolate sounds really wonderful, but you will be increasing your caloric intake by 480 calories. You'll need to figure out where you'll eliminate calories.!

Or, you can start a walking program. I know you'll need to work up to it, but if you walk for one hour, you'll burn up that chocolate. It's worth it!

Don't Share Information

Most people don’t think a thing about telling all of their Facebook friends that they’re heading out on a two week vacation. You may even share your birthdate. These are two bits of information that today’s thieves thrive on. Be sure to be more careful what you post online, and make sure your privacy settings are enabled appropriately.

Apple Pie Recipe

Apples are in season, and nothing spells autumn like a fresh apple pie. Prepare enough crust to both line the pan and cover the apples. Or you can just thaw a package of pie-crust. That makes it even simpler.

Peel, core, and thinly slice about 7 apples. Use a combination of three to four different types of apples, Granny Smith, Pink Lady, Macintosh, Jonathan, Gala are all good choices. Steer clear of Red and Yellow Delicious. They are tasty, but not very good in a pie.

Toss apple slices in a bowl with ¼ cup flour, 2 tsp. cinnamon, 1/8 tsp. cloves, ¼ tsp. salt. Pour into the pie shell, top with slices of butter. Place top crust and seal the edges. Make a couple of slits allowing for steam to escape. Bake 350 for 1 hour. Serve at room temperature with either Cheddar cheese or ice cream.

Red Flashing Lights

You were distracted, you didn’t see the sign, you simply didn’t notice that you were speeding. Now you have a police car behind you. What to do? Mind your manners. Seriously, most officers will deal very well with motorists who are polite and do not argue. Keep your hands on the steering wheel, wait until you are told to get your license and registration, then do so slowly. Remember, the officer is even more terrified than you are. Traffic stops are one of their most dangerous duties. Show some restraint, be nice, and you might just get off with a warning.

Autumn Leaves

The palette of fall is stunningly beautiful, prompting people to travel, sometimes great distances, to see the beautiful colors. But what causes those colors? We all suspect it has a lot to do with the falling temperatures, but how do trees know what colors to turn? There are three chemicals at play here:

1) Chlorophyll, responsible for the green color of the leaves; 2) Carotenoids produce yellow, orange, and brown colors; 3) Anthocyanins which are responsible for the highly prized crimson and red tones.

Chlorophyll and carotenoids are always present. When the days shorten and the temps drop, anthocyanins appear. As chlorophyll diminishes, the colors begin to emerge. How beautiful!

It plumps up your skin, and helps to rebuild collagen, known to decrease as we age. That cheerful orange globe is chock full of anti-oxidants, vitamins, and minerals. The alpha and beta carotene convert to Vitamin A that promotes healthy vision and keeps your immune system humming. It also reverses skin damage caused by UV radiation from sun exposure.
