Luxe for the Bride Featured on Arizona Wedding’s Blog

We are super excited to be featured in Arizona Weddings‘ latest Blog Post: Click HERE to view the article and photos! We invited the mag’s writers to our salon and here is just a snippet of what they said:

“Their salon was one of the biggest and most beautiful that I have ever seen.  The hair and nail floors of the salon are separate but can be seen through a floor to ceiling glass wall.  The massage, esthetics, and tanning rooms are in a quiet area giving you the peacefulness you would expect at a spa.”

AND

Hot Oscar Beauty Trends!

Oh, don’t you just love the parade of gowns, hairstyles, makeup and polish? We look forward to seeing what Hollywood comes up with every year and what trends we can take away from that very special Oscar walk down the red carpet. What did we notice, love and now recommend to you?

White Gowns. Oh they glittered, like Milla Jovovich’s and were revealed beautifully, like Gywenth Paltrow’s. Even Robin Roberts of ABC was wearing white and Octavia Spencer’s gown really did her curves justice. Lots of eye candy for brides-to-be to get some ideas about what kind of gown (at least the shape) to rock at their own weddings!

Hair. Tina Fey’s amazing, glamorous updo,  JLo’s bun (not many wear it better), Jessica Chastain’s sexy-not-overdone bump and curls, George’s leading Lady Stacy Keibler’s side-swept look and Jovovich’s short, natural style. There are so many ideas for Prom, Weddings, and special days!

Nails. This is the first Oscars that we can remember nails being such a focus and we like it! We’d give an Oscar to  JLo’s sexy red-tipped French manicure by Tom Bachik and the dark nails on Kristen Wiig, Octavia, Natalie Portman and others were eye catching and vampy! We approved of Keibler and Amy Admas, who both wore metallic dresses, kept it neutral with OPI’s Samoan Sand. We can see all of these looks on our clients!

Makeup. Oh how we loved Michelle William’s lip color to go with that fabulous dress! We loved the black liquid liner eyes on the stars like JLo and Chastain and the bright lips on Angelina Jolie, the striking Rooney Mara and and Jovovich. And once again, JLo impressed with her natural-toned shadow and lips. More looks we see coming straight off the red carpet and onto our beautiful clients!

Behind the Scenes: Photo Shoot

We are busy little elves behind the scenes making the world more beautiful one client at a time during this holiday season! Today we actually got it all on “film” with fabulous photog Joe Utley whose photo journalist style suited our gorgeous models perfectly! Can’t wait until you all can see the results of our day long shoot. A special thanks to ALL of our models and a special thanks to Miss Arizona, Jennifer Sedler, for taking time to come be one of them!

Fall Arrival: Eyelashes and Updos

The Today Show declared braids hot during this very cool season (see video at http://thelook.today.msnbc.msn.com/_news/2011/10/10/8251040-the-braid-is-back-learn-how-to-get-the-look-for-less), so it wasn’t a surprise that they have been popping up everywhere — check out our salon window, courtesy of Bumble and Bumble before your next appointment!  Real Simple Magazine declares the multi-braid bun (left) to be one of the hottest updos of the holiday season, along with hair feathers, which we have seen get more and more popular over the summer season. Now in jewel tones, they make dramatic statements as part of holiday updos or attached strategically to long, flowing ponytails.
For moms or busy women on the go, braids mean an easy, affordable way to look great in no time. Lack the skills to do it yourself? We can can help you find your braided style on short notice (most of the time) and starting at $25. Give us a call and we will work our magic to get your braid the same day when possible.

If it’s longer lashes you are after, another favorite of the Real Simple editors, you have come to the right place! We have a few ways, depending on your budget, to help you bat those pretties and get great Christmas gifts! For a quick, inexpensive solution, a Luxe makeup artist will apply the more temporary strip eyelashes for $15. For a more permanent solution to thicker, longer lashes, but one that may take a bit more time, Luxe offers LiLash, which retails for $84 at Luxe for a three month supply. This amazing retail product is brushed on and works by fortifying and conditioning lash follicles with its unique purified eyelash serum. Ask us about LiBrow also, which has done the same for women in search of thicker, fuller, sexier brows. Most women are making an investment  in lash extensions, which bring immediate full lash beauty to eyes! Each single eye lash is artfully applied by one of our specially trained estheticians for a look that lasts three months. Choices, choices!
