There are many benefits of receiving a professional SHELLAC manicure and pedicure including relaxation, skin and nail health, and of course, impeccably polished nails! Even with the best care, traditional polish tends to chip and wear off quickly, which is super frustrating. Skip the frustration and elevate your next mani-pedi with SHELLAC polish, read on to learn more!

What is SHELLAC Polish?
In 2010, cosmetic company CND revolutionized the nail care industry with the release of SHELLAC hybrid polish. This 3-part system offers two weeks of flawless polish compared to traditional polish that only lasts between 3 to 7 days! SHELLAC was designed to cure under UV light for zero dry time so you can get back to your day without worrying about smudging your polish. From natural to fantasy, SHELLAC polish comes in over 100 shades to suit any style. Change up the look of your nails even more with one of three trendy topcoat finishes in matte, glitter, or pearl!

SHELLAC vs. Gel Polish
There have been many innovations in the nail care industry over the last decade in regard to longer-lasting polishes. Many gel polishes that offer longer-lasting nail color have been developed, but there are some major differences between SHELLAC hybrid polish and gel polishes.

More Traditional Appearance. Like traditional nail polish, SHELLAC has a lightweight, thin finish. Gel polish, on the other hand, tends to have a thicker finish which can look uneven and bulky.

Healthier Nails. SHELLAC polish is easier to remove than gel polish and does not require any filing or scraping, eliminating damage to your natural nail. With 2-times faster removal than gel, SHELLAC polish changes every two weeks are super easy!

UV Lights. Both SHELLAC and gel polish are cured by UV light leading some to question potential risks to skin health. While there hasn't been any link established between SHELLAC mani-pedis and skin issues, you can be proactive by applying a good sunblock to avoid any potential risks.

There is something about long, luxurious eyelashes that enhance natural beauty and create instant intrigue. If you are like most people, achieving gorgeous lashes involves a lot of trial and error involving mascara. Thankfully, there is a better way!

NovaLash eyelash extensions are the innovative alternative to expensive mascaras and antiquated strip lash extensions. Strip lashes can be messy, bulky, and require constant maintenance. Eyelash extensions, however, are placed on the natural lash individually, leaving them appearing naturally long and voluminous! Continue reading to discover how NovaLash eyelash extensions can help you achieve long, luxurious lashes!

Why NovaLash?
NovaLash eyelash extensions were developed over 15 years ago by a cosmetic chemist, Sophy Merszei, along with a team of doctors and scientists with the goal of creating the safest possible products and techniques for eyelash extensions. Today, NovaLash is a leading innovative force in the eyelash extension industry, focusing not only on beautiful, natural-looking extensions but also on the health and safety of its customers. The pinnacle of NovaLash's continued success is the award-winning Platinum Bond Adhesive, which has shown to hold two times longer than other adhesive brands! Furthermore, Merszei has worked to develop regulations and specialty licensing for the eyelash extension industry, ensuring customer safety and empowering eyelash extensions specialists. When you receive NovaLash eyelash extensions at our Crestview Hills location, you will receive a safe, gorgeous set of lashes from trained and certified professionals!

Benefits of Eyelash Extensions
Long-Lasting. The natural eyelash cycle is around 4 weeks from new growth to shedding. Unlike daily-use strip lashes or mascara, NovaLash extensions can last throughout the lash cycle with proper care. It is important to maintain a regular filling schedule to avoid an uneven appearance as the lash cycle progresses.

Makeup-Free. The longer, fuller lashes you achieve with eyelash extensions enhance your natural beauty without mascara! In fact, using mascara can actually shorten the lifespan of your extensions. Not only does skipping the mascara save you time and money, it also makes it possible to enjoy activities, such as working out and swimming, without worrying about your mascara running!

Damage-Free. Eyelash extensions are attached individually and, when applied properly, eliminate any potential damage to your natural lash. NovaLash's specialized application technique does not hinder the growth of natural lashes, allowing the natural lash growth cycle to occur, extending the time between applications!

Are you ready to finally experience luxurious, natural-looking lashes? Our expert NovaLash experts Kourtney and Hannah are here to help! Contact Tanya’s Image and Wellness Salon today!

]]><![CDATA[Dermaplaning: What You Should Know]]>Sat, 15 Feb 2020 21:24:20 GMThttps://tanyasimage.com/blog/dermaplaning-what-you-should-know

Every day our skin, especially our face, is exposed to elements that can cause our skin to lose its natural radiance and youthfulness. Many of us want to correct issues caused by exposure such as fine lines, acne scars, dull, and dry skin but don't want to experience the risks associated with many medical spa treatments. If you are hesitant to seek chemically-invasive treatments, dermaplaning may be the perfect solution for you, continue reading to learn more!

What is Dermaplaning?
Dermaplaning is a procedure that painlessly corrects skin blemishes caused by natural aging and exposure to toxins, irritants, sunlight. Your treatment will be administered in a clean, comfortable environment to ensure an optimal experience. During the procedure, a licensed provider will use a tool that resembles a razor you would use to shave at home. As the razor is applied to the skin at a specific angle it removes dead skin cells and scar tissue, leaving your skin with a more even and youthful appearance in as little as 30 minutes!

What are the Benefits?

Removes dead surface skin cells which instantly gives skin a more youthful appearance while stimulating cell turnover below the skin.
Unlike more invasive chemical treatments that can require a lot of downtime following the procedure, dermaplaning has little risk of adverse side effects, so you can rejuvenate your skin during your lunch break.
Dermaplaning targets multiple skin issues including acne scars, dull and dry skin, sun-damage, and fine lines.
During the procedure, the fine hairs on the face, or peach fuzz, are removed. The removal of the fine hairs benefits the overall health of the skin because they tend to accumulate oil and dirt that cause skin issues.

Before and After Care
Prior to your dermaplaning treatment, it is important to have a consultation with your licensed provider so they can assess your skin and ensure the best treatment for you. It is also important to ensure you avoid anything that can irritate your skin prior to your treatment appointment, such as limiting sun exposure to lower the risk of sunburn.

Following your dermaplaning treatment, results can last from 4-8 weeks with a proper at-home skincare regimen. Use a gentle cleanser, rinsing with cool water, to remove makeup, oil, and other debris from your skin. Hyaluronic serums can help elevate and maintain your dermaplaning results by hydrating skin, further reducing the appearance of acne scars and fine line wrinkles. Finally, always use a lightweight moisturizer that contains protection from the skin-damaging UVA & UVB rays of the sun.

The Keratin Express Blowout treatment helps restore damaged keratin, restoring hair's vibrancy, read on to learn more!

What is a Keratin Express Blowout?

]]><![CDATA[Benefits of Microblading]]>Fri, 15 Nov 2019 05:36:40 GMThttps://tanyasimage.com/blog/benefits-of-microblading

Full, sculpted brows have become the new standard, replacing the pencil-thin trend of the '90s. While those lucky ladies blessed with naturally full eyebrows are rejoicing, some can find it difficult to give thin brows a full yet natural look. If you fall into the second category, don't fret! Microblading is a great way to achieve perfect and full eyebrows that won't smudge, read on to learn more!

What is Microblading?
Microblading is the process of applying ink with microneedles to the top layer of skin, creating natural-looking faux eyebrows. The microneedles used are thin enough to mimic the appearance of brow hairs using thin strokes. Now, on to the benefits of receiving microblading.

Save Time
How much time do you spend filling in thin brows each day? Filling in your brows every day can add up to a lot of time over weeks, months, and years! Your first microblading procedure can take up to 1.5 to 2 hours to account for paperwork and consultation. However, the procedure only takes around 30 to 45 minutes. This first appointment is then followed up with a touch-up session once the area heals completely. After receiving microblading you will find yourself with extra time while still looking fabulous!

It's Pain Free
As the microblading process is similar to that of traditional tattooing, the thought of receiving the procedure can sound painful but you'll be happy to learn it doesn't hurt! Your technician will apply a numbing cream to the brow area prior to beginning your session, making the procedure pain-free and comfortable for you. After the numbing cream wears off you may feel some mild discomfort which can typically be relieved with over-the-counter pain reliever.

Eyebrows That Last
Once your microblading procedure is completed and healed, you will be able to enjoy activities like working out and swimming without the worry of smudged brows. Although the exact length microblading lasts depends on how individual skin retains the ink, the procedure often lasts for up to two years!

Won't Disrupt Natural Hair Growth
Because the ink is only deposited superficially, the majority of microblading customers will not experience any disruption in natural brow growth. In fact, microblading can even stimulate hair growth!

Are you ready for painless, time-saving, beautiful eyebrows? Make an appointment today at Tanya’s Image and Wellness Salon. Our professional staff looks forward to working with you and helping you achieve full, natural-looking brows!

]]><![CDATA[Waxing Year-Round Benefits Healthy Skin]]>Tue, 29 Oct 2019 22:39:13 GMThttps://tanyasimage.com/blog/waxing-year-round-benefits-healthy-skin

Flannels and boots are quickly replacing shorts and swimsuits as the fall season sets in. It can be tempting to forgo hair removal treatments as we add on those extra layers. However, you may be surprised to learn that waxing has more benefits than just hair removal. Read on to discover why you should be waxing year-round!

Dry Skin
Water leaves our skin more quickly when the air is cold and dry, leaving our skin looking dull and flaky. Trying to combat winter dryness can be frustrating but wax treatments can help. As hair is removed during your waxing treatment, dead skin cells in the top layer are removed as well. This light exfoliation smooths and softens skin, leaving it looking healthy and bright!

Stubble and In-Grown Hair
The worst part about hair removal is often when it regrows. Although it may be tempting to switch to shaving during the cooler months, this can cause a lot of unwanted skin issues. Shaving only removes hair to the skin’s surface, which means it grows back fast. Regrowth of hair can be itchy and cause the skin to become inflamed.

Waxing removes the hair shaft under the surface, extending the time it takes hair to regrow. Shaving also leads to an increased risk for painful in-grown hair. Waxing reduces the risk of in-grown hair because the waxing can effectively remove hair in the direction that it grows. Waxing year round helps keep skin healthy and significantly increases the time needed between hair removal treatments.

Self-Care
Total wellness includes feeling good, keep the winter blues away by allowing our staff to pamper you! Self-care can increase confidence and reduce stress. Our professional estheticians believe in the importance of individual care so you feel comfortable and informed before, during, and after your wax treatments. Our staff works to ensure you leave your appointment feeling empowered, confident, and beautiful!

Waxing keeps skin radiant and healthy all year long. Our professional estheticians look forward to giving you an enjoyable experience every time you visit.

Ready to enjoy smooth and glowing skin? Make an appointment today at Tanya’s Image and Wellness Salon. We offer many wax treatments and look forward to working with you to reach your desired results!

]]><![CDATA[Discover the Healthy Benefits of Massage]]>Sun, 13 Oct 2019 19:48:35 GMThttps://tanyasimage.com/blog/discover-the-healthy-benefits-of-massage

Everyone loves a good massage. They are so relaxing, and they give you the chance to get away from it all for a little “me time.” But massages are much more than a great way to relax. They also have important health benefits that can make a big difference in your well-being.

Stress relief. Stress is a reaction your body uses when faced with threats, that fight-or-flight response that keeps us out of danger. While it’s great when it truly gets you out of danger, but that same response is also activated when you experience changes or difficult situations, whether these are negative or positive – like a new job, new baby, new living situation, an overwhelming workload, etc. Massage helps activate the opposite response – relaxation – which slows your heart rate and blood pressure, helps you breathe slower and deeper, and reverses a lot of those physical effects of the fight-or-flight response.

Pain relief. Whether it’s back pain, headaches, pregnancy-related discomfort, sore muscles, or pain related to medical conditions, massage helps relieve some of the pain by relaxing muscles spasms that can exasperate pain. For pain caused by repetitive positional issues, like soreness after sitting at work all day or a stiff neck from sleeping in a bad position, massage helps relax the muscles in the specific area causing the pain to help alleviate symptoms.

Manage symptoms of disease. For people living with chronic medical conditions, regular massages can help the body cope with the symptoms and for some, make these symptoms less severe and more manageable. Chronic disease puts stress on the body, and as massage relaxes symptoms of stress, it also helps improve the immune system to help fight disease.

Sports injury recovery. Many sports injuries involve the muscles. Massage can help rebuild your range of motion as your muscles recover, reducing pain and discomfort and helping your body heal quickly.

Improved sleep. All the benefits of massage come into play to help improve your sleep – the lower heart rate, relaxed muscles, improved circulation, and more. Regular massages help teach your body to relax, an important part of a restful, good night’s sleep.

Everyone can benefit with regular massage as part of a healthy lifestyle and wellness routine. Due for a massage? Make an appointment today at Tanya’s Image and Wellness Salon. With several different types of massages to choose from, our professional massage therapists can help you design the perfect massage program for you!

]]><![CDATA[What is Allergy-Free Hair Color?]]>Sun, 15 Sep 2019 20:50:20 GMThttps://tanyasimage.com/blog/what-is-allergy-free-hair-color

Good health – for both you and the environment – is important for us at Tanya’s Image and Wellness Salon. We take pride in helping you look and feel your best while using products that create a healthy environment in our salon. That commitment includes the hair color products we use, and we offer the only line of PPD- and PTD-free hair color in the world.

PPD and PTD are two chemicals found in other hair color products that are most likely to cause allergic reactions. PPD (p-Phenylenediamine) and PTD (4-toluenediamine) are organic compounds that are used in most hair dyes. Though organic, they can be irritating for many people, and reactions range from some mild itching and irritation to serious reactions that can mean a trip to the hospital.

Not everyone has a reaction to PPD or PTD, but those who do can experience itching, burning, redness, blisters, or even an all-over rash with a feeling of being ill. This varies for each person, so everyone who does have a reaction will experience these compounds differently.

Regular hair dyes that do contain PPD or PTD are regulated to restrict the amount of these compounds. However, if you’ve ever had a reaction to them, you may be at risk for a more serious reaction in the future, so it is best to avoid them completely.

Fortunately, this doesn’t mean you have to forget about ever coloring your hair again. At Tanya’s Image and Wellness Salon, our line of PPD- and PTD-free colorings mean that you can enjoy a new, gorgeous hair color or color-enhancing highlights for the new fall season without worrying about affecting your health.

Our hair colors come in a rich variety of shades so you can choose one that fits your personality and style, and all of them are accredited by the Skin Health Alliance to ensure your safety and wellness.

If product allergies have been preventing you from enjoying a fun new style, make an appointment today at Tanya’s Image and Wellness Salon. Our professional stylists will help you choose the right allergy-free color shade that suits your individual personality!

]]><![CDATA[Caring for Your Hair Between Salon Visits]]>Sat, 31 Aug 2019 17:51:21 GMThttps://tanyasimage.com/blog/caring-for-your-hair-between-salon-visits

Nothing beats that fresh-out-of-the-salon feeling. Your hair is soft, perfectly styled, and you feel confident that you look your best throughout the day. We can’t all have our hair professionally cut and styled every day, but there are things we can do to help that fresh salon feeling last between visits. It’s all about haircare, because when your hair is in its best condition, it’s easier to style and maintain.

Washing. We all use too much shampoo. That lather, rinse, and repeat advice isn’t the best way to keep your hair looking great. That’s because shampooing can strip your hair of the natural oils it distributes that help keep it shiny, soft, and protected. If you have oily hair, you may be tempted to wash often for that reason. But over-stripping can actually make an oily scalp worse, because the glands will work harder to produce more oil. Most professional stylists recommend washing with shampoo only two or three times per week. On off days, rinse and condition or use a dry shampoo.

Brushing. Another way to take advantage of your scalp’s natural oil production is through brushing. Regular brushing with a soft bristle brush (a boar bristle brush is a great choice) distributes natural oils throughout the hair shaft, coating it with softness and shine. Like all things in life, you can get too much of a good thing with brushing, since excessive or rough brushing might damage hair, and you should never brush wet hair – use a wide-tooth comb to detangle after your shower.

Conditioning. Conditioner is a must for everyone. The trick is to find the right product for your hair type. For oily hair, focus on conditioning the ends, and rinse thoroughly. Dry hair needs extra conditioning, like a weekly deep conditioning treatment and a good hydrating conditioner daily. Conditioner does more than make hair soft. It creates a barrier that protects the hair shaft from damage. Damaged hair means frizzy, out-of-control hair, so keeping that salon-fresh look means keeping your hair in great condition.

Avoiding heat. Heat causes damage, so protecting hair from heat is important for creating that salon-fresh style at home. This means avoiding heated styling tools as much as possible. If you spend a lot of time with the flat iron, consider getting a keratin treatment so it’s easier to create that straight style. If you always blow dry your hair, look into air-dry styles to find one that suits you. If you must use heated styling tools, apply a heat protectant first. The heat in the shower can also be damaging, so be sure you’re rinsing in warm, not hot, water to keep hair looking great.

Before you leave the salon, ask your stylist to recommend products formulated for your hair that will help your style last. Due for a new style?

Tired of mascara? It clumps, it smears, it wears off, and even waterproof versions might not hold up to a day at the pool. The same is true with brow liner. It seems to take forever to get it just right, only to fade away or smudge as the day goes on. Most of us need mascara and liner to make lashes look long and brows well-defined, but daily makeup applications can be a hassle. Fortunately, lash and brow tinting is a great alternative to everyday makeup.

What is it? Tinting is something like a special hair color for your lashes and brows. For lashes, the darker color can make them appear longer and even thicker. For brows, the color stays on every hair, so they are not only more defined, but it also makes it easier to shape them, since darker hairs are easier to see and pluck. Tints come in different shades, so your esthetician will help you decide which shade will look best for you.

What are the advantages? Lash and brow tinting is waterproof, so once it’s set, you can shower, swim, or exercise without worrying about smudges and runs. Tinting is always on, so when you wake up in the morning, your eyes already look great, before you’ve even reached for makeup. Because you no longer need to apply mascara, use the lash curler, or spend time perfecting your brow liner, you save a ton of time on your morning routine. You can also go about your day without worrying about having to re-apply mascara or wash off runs and smudges. Tinting is a great option for those with sensitive eyes who have trouble wearing mascara.

How long does it take? Tinting is a quick process that takes about 15 to 20 minutes. It’s safe when done by a qualified, experienced esthetician, and the time savings far outweighs the time spent at the salon.

How long does it last? Eventually, lash and brow hairs shed to be replaced by other hairs. This usually happens every three or four weeks, although it varies by individual. As lashes shed, they’ll be replaced by your natural lashes, so the tint may seem to fade because not all hairs are dyed. At that point, it’s time for a touch-up to keep things looking great.
