I am starting an intense regime as I slowly push my way to the "4th" floor of life. I discovered IS skincare a couple of weeks ago and started using its C Eye Advanced Serum, Eye Complex and Super Serum Advance for pigmentation issues. All I have to say is OH MY GOD. Why have I not heard of this before? After requesting the press package I was shocked to find that it has been featured in almost every magazine available on a list of celebs that reads like Vanity Fair's Oscar party (actually this is the line celebs turn to for last minute firming, brightening and moisturizing before red carpet events!). Another noteworthy fact is that IS works with Washington Cancer Institute in Washington DC-- they have developed innovative products that address the unique skincare concerns of cancer patients. Many of these formulas not only help create vibrant and healthy skin, they also address important issues such as acne, chafing, uneven complexion, burns and scar tissue.

Bridal do's and don"ts
Every bride wants to look and feel like she is Cinderella on her special day. Your wedding will be a very special opportunity to celebrate your total beauty. It is important that you are well prepared so that you will truly sparkle with a special new radiance that day. Take advantage of all the professional salon, spa and beauty care services that are available. You'll also want to look your best, so your friends, photographer and videographer can capture the day with captivating memories and beautiful photographs.
Beauty Dos:
Just like looking for the best location, caterers, hotels, florists and cakes, you need to properly plan your bridal beauty care for yourself and your entire wedding party.
Start your wedding beauty care research and plans six or more months in advance.
Take the time to find a salon that specializes in bridal beauty care services.
Investigate the various hair, skin, nail, makeup, spa, body wraps and body treatment services that are available.
Explore plenty of options for your bridal hairstyle. Take in several photographs of hair designs that you like, so your hair designer can try these looks on for you.
Plan to sign up for a bridal beauty care package and pay for it in advance, so you will have one less thing to worry about as the wedding date draws closer.
Create a special checklist with your professional salon consultants, so everything is well planned for your complete and total image.
Plan hair and makeup trial sessions for yourself and your mom. No one else will require a trial beauty care session. If necessary, take your veil.
Determine if you will need to grow, condition, color or texture your hair. You should always look natural at your wedding, yet you can determine if you will need hair extensions to give you a fully up style hair design with longer hair and hair color accents.
Plan to share your dress design with your hair stylists and makeup artists, so they can start to plan your bridal hair and makeup image.
Be sure to explore as many hair design options as possible.
Have your hair designer add a small beautiful hair color accent with special hair extension pieces that will match the color of your bridesmaid's dresses.
It is important to keep your entire wedding party organized and together at one salon. This will help everyone to get to know each other better, so everyone is relaxed and has more fun at your ceremony and party.
You will want your face and skin to have a natural glow and be in the best possible condition. Remember to get your skin in shape.
You will certainly need to start a regular regimen of monthly facials, skincare and body treatments to look healthy. This is very important, so that when your bridal makeup is applied, your skin will not have the challenges of dehydration, acne, flakiness, uneven skin tones or breakouts.
Ask your salon and spa esthetician to recommend a professional homecare regimen of skincare products.
Enhance your total body and image with facials, cellulite treatments, mud treatments, infrared treatments, saunas, back facials and body wraps.
Ask for complimentary skincare analysis.
Explore microdermabrasion, microcurrent treatments, oxygen facials and hydrotherapy treatment facials.
Now is the time to upgrade from a simple manicure to a spa manicure and pedicure that include extra hand and foot conditioning treatments as well as the paraffin treatments.
Test your manicurists with French Tips, a special color, nail art or whatever you plan to use at least once before the big day.
Have your nails done the day before the wedding. Your hands will need to look great with everyone staring at your rings.
Beauty Don'ts
Don't do anything drastic! Do not plan to make a dramatic last minute hair cut or hair color change.
Avoid trying to look like a Hollywood celebrity.
Do not wait for a single last minute facial, as you may breakout or have an acne reaction that will be difficult to cover with makeup.
Don't ask your best friend to do your makeup. Use a professional who is an expert at bridal and photography makeup services. There is a big difference in makeup artists.
Avoid a makeup artist that normally applies commercial daytime makeup at a department store cosmetic counter, while their normal job is to sell you makeup.
Avoid big dark smoky eyes if you do not normally wear them.
Avoid last minute tanning sessions and spray-on sunless tanning services, if you do not regularly do them. You will need to avoid an unnatural look. You certainly don't want anything extra to rub off on your wedding dress.
Avoid coming to the salon the morning of your wedding hung over from a bachelorette party.

Finding the right salon and spa 101
Reflections of You Fairfax salon and spa
Cleanliness: Salon floors get littered with freshly cut hair all the time, but if you notice clumps of hair around a chair that wasn’t recently in use, that’s a bad sign. The hairstylists’ stations should be free of clutter and the styling tools and products you see should look clean and new. At Reflections of You Fairfax you be blown away with the cleanliness and pride you sense during your visit.
Pricing: While a great deal is always tempting, hair salons with cheap prices may be setting them so low because they can’t compete with other nearby salons in either skill or service. On the other hand, high prices don’t necessarily mean high quality – the salon may be inflating their rates to create the look of prestige. Reflections of You Fairfax prices are excellent for the quality of service and the hyper trained staffs ability to give you the look you desire.Location: Hair salons in malls are busy places, frequently trafficked by walk-ins and passers-by in need of a quick trim.

Services: A hair salon that can offer extensions, straightening treatments and other high-end professional services is often a sign of hairstylists who are up to date on the latest trends and technology in hair care. Unrelated services like manicures, pedicures and waxing are a great bonus, as long as it’s clear that hairstyling is the salon’s primary focus.

You should feel comfortable telling her what you want and if you’re displeased with your previous cut. Our stylist consult with you to see exactly what you challenges are and make suggestions to correct these concerns. We will follow up on each visit to be sure everything meets your expectations.
