NEW ANNOUNCEMENT!

2010-03-29T18:26:00.000-07:00

Hello again! It seems like forever since we posted anything to update what's happening for 2010.

We've got some amazing announcements to make on a new direction that we're taking as a small business. It almost feels like we're shedding our old skin and growing anew. Although we quietly celebrated another birthday, we've got some magical things brewing up in our laboratory so stay tuned.

For instance, new semi-permanent nail polish that's lasting up to 3 weeks. New Salon reward programs just to mention a couple =)

This blog will most likely get moved. We hope to connect with you guys offline now! So call us and schedule today! Chat soon!!!!!

How to be Mindful this Holiday Season

2009-12-15T01:31:00.001-08:00

We came across some great tips to keep your sanity this Holiday Season....in 350 words or less:

1. A simple practice. Take a fruit — an apple, a pear, a peeled banana or kiwi, some berries — and eat them mindfully. Slowly. Take a small bite, and really experience it. Feel the texture in your mouth. Savor the taste. Smell the fruit. Think about how you feel as you eat the fruit. Feel the juices in your mouth. Feel yourself swallow the bite. Eat the entire fruit this way, one bite at a time, really feeling and tasting and sto read more visit:

Pumpkin Pedicure is back Oct 31st!

2009-10-21T16:16:00.000-07:00

"Pumpkins are full of multivatimins that are not only healthy, but also nourish the skin.

Vitamin A softens and cleanses while vitamin C maintains skin health by keeping collagen from breaking down.

Zinc helps to soothe irritated skin and heals acne blemishes, and alpha-hydroxy acids exfoliate and revialtize.

Pumpkin pulp can also reduce the appearance of scarring.

In the past, it was used as a cure for freckles and as a remedy for snake bites."

-Nails Magazine

We're introducing a Pumpkin Spice Butter Cream that contains shea Butter, Vitamins A, C, D and E for softer silkier, smoother skin.

Acrylic & Gel Nail Care Membership

2009-07-30T15:26:00.000-07:00

Polish for Change is a unique nail care membership program we designed to maintain the health and beauty of your acrylic and gel nail enhancements. It combines fills, polish changes and broken nail repairs for one flat fee (auto debit).

Thank you to our early clients that have helped us test and refine our membership over the past 2.5 years. Nothing like this has ever been done before in the history of nail care.

We hope to continue to refine the program and bring more convenient locations to serve you.

One of the neat things we envisioned early on was allowing our guests to visit multiple sites to redeem their services. Break a nail uptown - get it fixed downtown!

There's a lot more exciting stuff we're working on in our laboratory, so stay tuned! This is only the beginning!!!

Prom Sold Out

2009-06-06T12:31:00.001-07:00

This year's prom is quite interesting for us. We've seen alot of people coming in for us to fix another salon's mistake. Naturally, in today's economic environment everyone is finding ways to cut costs and get cheaper services. Unfortunately, if a bad job is done, it may be impossible for us to squeeze in the time to correct it. We hate to turn anyone away like we did this weekend.

We certainly recommend calling 2 weeks in advance for any special occasion - especially something like prom.

On another note, send us your prom photos and we'll post them online!!!

Unique Nail Art

2009-03-16T22:10:00.000-07:00

We are always on the lookout for new nail designs. Check out this site I found:

Her nails are artsy and cool. Not so sure how practical some of them are though for everyday wear :)

I ran across an article from New Delhi, India that talks about how more and more men are visiting beauty salons for waxing, manicures and pedicures. Seems to be an increasing trend across the world.

Fashion Week Review and Importance of Nail Design

2009-02-21T20:14:00.001-08:00

Fashion Week is over and it's always fun to do a recap of what's hot this season. I've found a few interesting articles that show off the highlights of the shows and have included links below. Can't wait to see some of these outfits in the stores!

But what about the unsung heros of Fashion Week? There' so much more to it than just the clothes. There is a long laundry list of contributors that help to pull the whole show together; Hair stylists, nails stylists, set designers... The list goes on and on.

I recently ran across an interesting article in the New York Times on one such contributor to the September 2008 Fashion Week. It certainly sums up the hard work that goes on behind the scenes. Seems that nails on the runway play just an all important part of setting the trend for the next season as do the clothes. Nails are complemented to match the handbags, the shoes, the dress, you name it! One show this year even added a "vampire touch" by matching their nail and lip color to a blood sample.

As we begin to see the newest clothing designs appear in the stores I can't wait to see what people begin requesting in our salons. Nails are now an accessory to an outfit and just as important as a necklace or a belt.

So enjoy the new styles, right down to your nails. We are up to trying just about anything in nail design and can't wait to see what ideas you bring!
