Body waxing with hard wax in Northern Va. Reflections of You Fairfax

Hard WaxingThe beauty industry is always changing its methods, and so are we here at Reflections Of You Fairfax, to ensure you get the best and most convenient services the market has to offer.
What is the difference between Hard Waxing and Strip Waxing? The difference is simple and the results are fantastic.
With Strip waxing the wax is applied to the skin, then after it has cooled a strip of cloth is applied on top of the wax and the wax is removed. This method of waxing is very harsh on the skin.
Hard waxing is the exact opposite. When using hard wax the wax is applied directly to the skin and removed as soon as it hardens, using only the wax to remove it. Hard wax is better for people with sensitive skin.
New hair will not grow back in the previously waxed area for two to eight weeks, although some see regrowth in only a week.
Before coming in:
1. To help reduce discomfort it is recommend taking an ibuprofen or Tylenol one hour before your appointment.
2. Do not shave the desired area before waxing. The hair needs to be at least ¼ of an inch long, any hairs shorter than that will not get pulled out.
Benefits of Hard Wax
 When hard wax hardens it is removed quickly and much less painfully from the skin by hands.
 Hard waxing is great for people with sensitive skin because the wax sits above the skin, and only pulls the hair. Making the chance of getting irritation and ingrown hairs much lower than it would be when using strip waxing.
 Hard wax is normally 20-30 degrees less hot then most wax, which can make the waxing experience more comfortable.

I have been going to Reflections of You (ROY) for several years. The staff and services are unbeatable. I love my hair cut and color every time I go. I also LOVE Surface hair products. Been using them for over a year now. The products and services are worth EVERY penny.

I'm a natural brunette but through the years I have gone from highlights, to full caramel blonde, to short hair, to SOCAP extensions, only to come back to my ORIGINAL hair and brunette roots. Trust me. My hair is not something I like to take chances on...If you are searching for a salon with experienced stylists, that make you look and feel like a million bucks when you leave, hit them up. Oh, and tell them Cate sent you.

Absolutely fantastic salon experience! I was super nervous as I was chopping off A LOT of my hair. Sara was great, talked to me about my style, what I did, what I liked and didn't like about my hair. All of their products are natural and very easy on your hair. Everyone was very friendly, and my hair looks GREAT. Like one reviewer said, I walked out of the salon tossing my hair like a shampoo commercial. I will certainly come back to this salon as a regular customer!

I have been a client of Reflections of You since the day the opened! The staff is courteous, helpful and knowledgeable. The owners really care about their clients and their staff. They go above and beyond to be sure that everyone is taken care of, from the walk ins to the regulars.

I just wanted to share my recent experience and the result. I asked Heather for an "OC Housewives" cut and she "Gretchinized" me! Love it, have received numerous compliments! Thanks again Heather

I love this place because it's close to my house, reasonably priced, and they do a decent job. In my experience, they don't do anything A-MA-ZING, or mind-blowing, but they do the basics and they do it well.

I've been here twice for a cut and color; I have a lot of hair, so foils take forever and day. Tisa always seems to have the patience to do all of them and do them right, which I definitely appreciate.

The shampoo lady is super sweet, and goes out of her way to make sure you're as comfortable as can be in those ridiculous chairs (bonus = the chairs recline so you can kick your feet up and really relax!)

The price is high (est. $150ish for cut/highlights + tip), but as is to be expected around this area. They also sell a bunch of pricey shampoos and other products, but aren't overly pushy if you politely decline.

For about 10 years now I've been a client of Heather's. She began by working to correct the color damage I'd caused using over the counter hair dye products and updated the style to take it into the 21st century. It's typically thick and frizzy with some stubborn waves. Heather was able to create a smooth & unfussy look that works both professionally and personally. Strangers frequently stop and ask who does my hair. One person even took a picture of it! More importantly, going into the salon is a break. The staff is so friendly, it's like visiting with a bunch of friends. Lalee is exceptional; simply the best!. My hair is so clean when she's done with it - you'll never find this quality anywhere else.

CND Shellac 14 Day Manicure - I Tried It!
by Grace Gold (Subscribe to Grace Gold's posts)
Posted May 18th 2010 at 7:00AM
CND Shellac

The claim is a 14 day chip-free manicure that stays shiny and fresh.

My mission was to put it to the test.

So began my experiment with CND's Shellac polish, the first 'hybrid' nail color that blends the strength and high-shine finish of a gel nail treatment with the color selection and easy application of a nail polish.

In case you're not familiar with the gel nail craze, it's much different than your run of the mill manicure. In this process, thin layers of gel are applied to the nails and cured under an ultraviolet light to create a highly durable, glossy finish, and can reportedly last a few weeks.

This process is gaining popularity in the U.S. (it's already big in Asia and Eastern Europe) because of the non-yellowing, odorless, and chip free formulas that not only strengthens nails, but provides the perfect base for funky and flirty designs. However, caveats include returning to the salon for removal by soaking the whole hand in acetone, (or drilling the nailbed), along with a lack of color options.

CND's new Shellac formula says it's a game-changer because, unlike gels, the formula is easily removed in ten minutes with acetone-soaked wraps that expose only the nailbed to the remover, with no drilling, filing or other mechanical manipulation required. Not to mention that it's launching with 12 trend-focused shades, with 12 more shades coming in the Fall.

But how well does it work? Let's get to it!

A Shellac manicure consists of a UV base coat, two coats of color, and a UV top coat. Hands are placed inside of a UV lamp drier in between each coat, with each process taking seconds to cure.

As CND manicurist Candice Manacchio applied my Shellac, I noticed that the manicure took place almost in reverse. Cuticles are first pushed back and nails prepped with a swipe of acetone to prep for color. After polishing, the more indulgent hand massage and lotions are applied, so as not to risk interfering with the polish application or color adherence to the nail.

My strategy was to go with a neutral sheer white shade, since I wanted the results to last as long as possible. (That, and I'm cheap.) While bright shades are great fun, they do show the tell-tale half-moon sign of cuticle growth far sooner. Manacchio suggested a coat of the opaque milky Romantique followed by a coat of of the sheer shimmer Negligee for a clean yet polished-looking finish that blends the best of both worlds.

While going through the steps, I gleaned some pretty interesting chit-chat from Manacchio. Turns out, she takes a train from her home in Connecticut to New York every two weeks to refill Kerry Washington's acrylic manicure while the actress has rare down time between Broadway performances of Race. "What, no Shellac for Kerry?" I asked. "No, she needs the extra strength of acrylics," was the insider reply.

Our conversation was interrupted by the last cycle of the drier ending. It had only been 25 minutes, and I had received the full treatment and was all done.



When the mani is finished, you're good to go -- no drying time is needed since your nails have set to a hard, shiny finish. You can even reach right into your handbag to get your keys, which I couldn't help but gingerly do with all fingers protectively splayed, not quite believing that my just-painted-two-minutes-ago nails wouldn't smudge in the process. They didn't.

For the next week, I was amazed that my nails held up the just-stepped-out-of-the-salon look beautifully, with no further commitment or work from me.

On day seven, an overly-zealous vacuuming session broke a nail when the vacuum didn't quite make it under the bed like I expected it to, and my right index finger jammed against the handle. My nail may have survived if I had a thicker traditional gel layer on it, though the break was clean and didn't cause any polish to peel. I snapped a photo for the record, and then filed the nail down -- and no one seemed to be any the wiser to it.

On the big finale of day 14, I was amazed at how the high-gloss finish was still sparkling and fresh. Even when I've had regular gel manicures, the shiny topcoat dulls after a few days, and I reapply a clear topcoat two or three times to get a lacquered finish comparable to what I had on Shellac's day 14.



And my lighter colored strategy worked. If you look really closely, you can see that the cuticle grew-out, but it's virtually unnoticeable to other people unless they're particularly nosy. I actually think that CND is playing it safe by claiming this manicure can last two weeks, because I can definitely push at least a week more out of my current nails, if not even more.

I also think this is a great option for weddings and other events. No need to get up extra early to fit a harried trip to the salon in on the day of a special occasion-- you can instead comfortably Shellac a week before and be confident that your nails will look fresh and unchipped for the big day.

The one drawback is that similar to its cousin, the gel, Shellac can only be applied in salons. It requires less skill than sculpting a gel nail, but still uses UV and removal technology that is not yet directly available to consumers.

Shellac will also be priced about 50% more than a regular manicure, and you can find participating salons at this link.

But this frugalista thinks it's well-worth the cost of admission, in terms of what you save on touch-ups, salon visits and your sanity.
