Lisa’s Favorite Trends for Spring

2011-04-06T11:01:00.000-04:00

The "Lob" Hairstyle

A lob is a longer, to the shoulder bob. Make it trendier or funk it up by wearing it shorter in the back and longer on the sides.

The Loose Wave

The BioIonic iTools StyleWinder will help you create those perfect curls effortlessly. We have it in a 3/4" and 1" barrel.

Embrace your curls

Give them moisture, nourish them and when they are completely dry take a curling iron with a diameter close to your own curl and randomly "touch up." We carry lots of hair styling products for your curls.

The Spray Tan

Save your skin with a professional spray tan. Don’t skimp, buy the right at-home products. (And, cellulite also looks better with a tan.) You can schedule a spray tan with us OR we now have Bronze Biologic Self Spray Tan for you DIYers.

Lavender up your look

Wear your lips pale with hints of pink or silver. For your eyes, pick a middle shade of lavender use all over lid with lots of black mascara.

Bangs

Heart shape face: Side swept fringe or wispy parted in the middle

Oval shaped face: Anything goes but try the new trendy blunt and solid

Round shaped face: Side swept

Square shaped face: layered at the brow

Spring Colors

For summer, look for Coral, Melon & Guava fashions or accents

Celebrity Hair Stylist Rita Hazan: 10 Rules for Being a Brunette

2011-03-16T10:34:00.000-04:00

I came across the following "rules" by Rita Hazan, celebrity hair stylist and salon owner, on a beauty blog and wanted to share it with our clients. These are great tips for fabulous brunette hair. --- Lisa Kasmen

By Rita Hazan

1) Make sure your shade is not too dark for your skin tone, nor too light.

2) I like brunettes to have some warmth – not red! It should be rich and I like to add gold tones, otherwise it looks dull.

3) I recommend getting a few highlights to break the color up, this way it doesn’t look dense or like a wig.

4) Make sure you keep your locks hydrated and healthy, use a shampoo and conditioner that say “hydrating” on them.

5) If you have any grey and color every two weeks, try to lighten up your color by a shade or two or get highlights around the hairline.
6) If you’re a natural brunette and are starting to get grey, you have a few options:
   a)   Cover it completely with a permanent dye

    b)   If you don’t want to color you hair with a full single process, just get a few highlights. This will help blend and camouflage the few grays that you do have.

    c)   For something less harsh, you can use a vegetable dye if you have limited grey.
7) Brunettes can look exotic in a world of many blondes! So if you’re looking for a change and your blonde, use a vegetable or semi-permanent dye. This will keep your hair healthy and shiny.
8) Make sure you wear the right makeup for your skin tone; otherwise you may look washed out. Sandy Linter, makeup artist extraordinaire at my salon (and who’s taught me a thing or two on having a flawless face), says that brunettes should “make sure they wear the right makeup for their skin tone, otherwise they may look washed out. A key factor with brunettes is having beautiful brows – do not over-pluck! Brows are really noticed on brunettes.”
9) When you go into the sun, make sure you use products with SPF in them. Brown hair tends to fade very fast and can get orangey or brassy in the sun.
10) If you feel like your hair always turns brassy, I suggest going one shade darker.

Winter Skin Savers

Are you battling winter dry skin? If you are still following the same skin-care routine year-round, try switching your habits/products to bring moisture back to your skin.

Drink Water. Hydrate your skin from within by drinking lots of water.

Bath time. Make it a quick one and use luke warm water. Hot water drys out your skin. Warm water with a gentle cleanser helps resuscitate weather-worn skin. Pat your skin dry, don’t rub it. Then, moisturize your skin while it’s still damp.
Exfoliate & Moisturize. To help your skin get the benefits of moisturizer, first exfoliate. Exfoliation removes the dead skin cells that sit on top of your skin. Follow with a daily moisturizer that contains shea butter. For an extra moisture treatment, try a sugar or salt scrub once or twice a week. Then apply moisturizer on damp skin to seal in moisture. If you feel your skin is still dry after 10 minutes... apply more! To soothe dry hands, try a spa hand paraffin treatment. These can be purchased at home stores inexpensively.

Humidify. Put moisture back into the air. A humidifying system can help your skin remain supple instead of cracked and dry. You can buy a humidifier from your local drug store.

Sunscreen. No matter the season, sunscreen is still a must. Use a sunscreen with at least an SPF of 15 or more. This will protect your skin from the elements. Alternatively, choose a product can combines a sunscreen with a moisturizer.

Below are just a few products we carry at Heaven & Earth to help you win the battle against winter dry skin. Of course we are happy to talk with you to help your with your skin care. We offer many soothing treatments that hydrate your face and body.

A Happy Groupon Client!

2010-09-16T09:14:00.002-04:00

As many of you know, last March we offered a Groupon for a mani-pedi-massage package. Since then, there has been Groupon-mania at the salon as we booked all the lucky people who purchased the packages. Below is an email from a happy customer who enjoyed her salon visit:

"Ann did my massage and I really liked her, she was very nice. Mary downstairs did my manicure. I liked her too, she was very nice. Last night Lauren called to ask how my services were and I told her I really enjoyed my visit and I really liked how unpretentious the environment was. I liked how the employees interacted with each other, they all seemed to have a lot of respect for one another and were consistently considerate of each other. Even the young girl at the front desk was so nice.

I know it was very overwhelming with the influx of business but everyone seemed so in control and not stressed. I’m going to go back as soon as they get another shipment of Moroccan oil because they have a buy 2 get one free special running until October. I want to buy shampoo and conditioner and get the oil for free." -- Jennifer Goldberg, Sept 10, 2010

Thank you, Jennifer, for you kind words!

Skin Care: Back to Basics

2010-09-01T09:10:00.006-04:00

While doing make-up for my Brooke Burke twin bride last Saturday, one of the bridesmaids asked me what my one go-to tip would be for skin/makeup. I really wanted to give her some groundbreaking phenomenal never-before-been-published nugget. But I had to go right back to my tried and true roots: A Good Skin Care Regime. Sorry to disappoint. But through the years of my own suffering with acne and seeing my clients throw money away, I needed to be honest. In addition to glowing skin, a good skin care regime will make a flawless makeup application possible.

What makes a Good Skin Care Regime?

1) Start with a facial from an experienced hygienic esthetician. This person should be able to give you some insight to what kinds of products are needed for your skin based on your age, skin type and what you are willing to spend and the time you are willing to put into making it work.
2) Purchase and use the products as instructed by the professional. Remember, your skin didn’t age or develop acne overnight. So changes will not be seen overnight. Two weeks of a new regime should be a sufficient amount of time. Then, schedule a follow up with the professional to discuss your new regime and see how it is working for you. BE HONEST about how you follow your program so the professional can make a true assessment of your results.
3) Once you find a good routine, stick with it. But also realize that other factors such as change of season, medications, hormones and stress can really change your skin. A skin care routine you used when you were 25 will probably not be as effective when you are 35.
4) Don’t fall prey to the counters at the department/drug stores, unless they have a licensed esthetician examining your skin and recommending a product. Otherwise, most have sales people that have been trained to sell their line by using fancy buzz words. Next thing you know, $300 later, you have the wrong products or a program you can’t afford to keep up with.

So it’s back to the basics for my skin care advice.

Peptides... what are they?

2010-07-27T09:56:00.000-04:00

Peptides are made up of amino acids, the building blocks for proteins that provide structure in the cell membrane. In skin care, they can stimulate collagen production and help prevent the breakdown of collagen already present. Below are a few different kinds of peptides used in cosmetics:

Pentapeptides, one of the most effective peptides, has been shown to reduce wrinkles and smooth the skin. It is one of the key ingredients in Bioelements Power Peptide. This ingredient can be listed as pentapeptide palmitoyl, palmitoyl tripeptide 3, palmitoyl pentapeptide-4 or matrixyl.

Copper peptides have been used for its healing effect on the skin.

Neuropeptides act as “nerve blockers” to muscles in the face. Nicknamed “topical botox” The jury is still out whether or not the penetration is deep enough to be effective.

Bioelements
Power Peptide

• Adds youthful radiance
• Revitalizes skin with renewing peptides
• Boosts moisture
• Brightens and refines skin tone

Available at Heaven and Earth Salon

"Getting married in Fairmount Park on a day that's 17 degrees with 50 MPH winds can be a bit frightening almost as frightening as a bad make up job. Marisa at Heaven & Earth made sure that my makeup was just perfect and would last all day for hundreds of photographs. She's a stellar artist who really knows her stuff! Thanks for making my special day start out so fabulously!"
