Beauty Secrets of Dancing with the Stars

Pucci Salon had the pleasure of hosting the event, Beauty Secrets of Dancing with the Stars this past Thursday. Pucci created a line-up of products, and sponsors, that made this a ‘don’t miss’ event. If you did however, here is a preview of what went on. M.B. York co-hosted the event, making a very special appearance to share her Beauty Ammo Kit with us. The kit is a three step kit to obliterating the tell tale signs of aging around the eyes. Application of the three products is simple and in about two minutes the skin will be flawless and ready for make-up. 

Four more products joined the list of demonstrations that were presented at the event.Opal by Clarisonic, an anti-aging preventative, was a product presented at the event that is revolutionary in its pain free technique. A palm-sized sonic infusion device, the Opal is specially designed to help build skin's resilience over time and prevent future damage around the eyes.  It produces immediate reduction of fine lines. Whish Body Products are recent winners of About.com Readers Choice Awards 2011 for their Shave Crave and Flawless products. Whish has an abundant list of products to choice from, making something from them just right for you! Advanced Mineral Make-Up was the, "Good for Your Skin" application line used at Pucci. This make-up is weightless, anti-bacterial, and helpful with areas such as acne prone skin and Rosacea. Light and fresh is what every women desires and this product definitely delivers. Last, but not least, we couldn't forget about the newest trend hitting the nation, Hair Diamond Feather Extensions. The extensions are easy to put in, long-lasting, and best of all can be straightened, curled and styled to your preference. These qualities make this new trend enjoyed by celebrities, both sexes, any age, and especially our Pucci customers. 

Being at the event was exclusive because the attendees got a personal insight to how these procedures and products are used. Pucci's stylist were there to help explain, show, and provide opportunity to talk with leading professionals in this industry.  Not only did that rare opportunity present itself in this fabulous evening, champagne and hor dourves were provided, along with gift bags filled with lots of goodies. One of the best things you can do to make your salon over the top fun, educational, and personal, is to get involved further with their clients than just the usual gossip talk during regular appointments.

Bumble and Bumble Workshop

Recently Pucci sent two of our top stylists, Tania and Eric to the Bumble and Bumble Workshop. Located in the meatpacking district of NY, Bumble not only sells and provides the first looks in recent and up-coming hair styles, they also teach! The Bumble workshops give insight to technique, style, and progressive trends. Those attending the event had the chance to work closely with the stylists that are directly involved with Bumble and Bumble, to learn, experiment, and examine. Besides the cutting sessions, tools for other aspects are discussed: theory, training, consultation skills, and product knowledge.

 

Our two stylists, already impressive at their craft, went to better their knowledge of cuts and styles. Bumble also provided live models, thorough knowledge of products, detailed feedback, and advice for future development to make sure our stylists walked away with as much knowledge as they could carry.  Events such as these continually take the stylist from level to level. In an industry that is ever changing and progressing, it is imperative to stay on top of the trends and new looks. There is something to learn about every area involved with a salon. Pucci knows all to well that building up your stylist helps them know exactly how to do your DOO!

Road to Rejuvination

In beauty there are always little tips and secrets to looking younger and healthier. Some people know them and some people don’t. Here are some myths’ and the must haves when it comes down to rejuvenating your look. Here is a brief summary of everything that should be discussed about different areas and myths. It is true that some procedures/products do not work. Procedures like eye lash extensions, tinting, and certain facial procedures can be effective if performed by professional. While working in a salon gives you experience to do these procedures the best administrator or leader of any company providing these services should be an aesthetician, which applies to our salon. Now that you are well informed here are some of the must haves to look twenty years younger. The most dramatic and effective services offered at Pucci that focus on facial youth is the Microdermabrasion w/ peel. The peel helps with fine lines and reduction, while the microdermabrasion resurfaces the skin by getting the dead layers off.

Waxing gives you a fresh feel to your entire body; intimidating as it seems to some you’ll love it after you try it. Hair removal opens up the pores nicely enabling proper exfoliation which creates a glowing hue and outwardly transfers into a younger look. Being smoother and soft makes you feel lighter and more energized. It is not certain if the next statement is a myth or not, but in the beauty world it is something that is followed by many. Lighter hair makes you look younger. An easy way to achieve this is to get a quick highlight or go a shade or two lighter. At the salon there are a variety of color options: partial and full highlights, hair coloring, and color correction.

Last but not least women can make themselves look older just by not knowing how to wear their make-up correctly. In make-up there are things that can be pulled off through each decade of your life, and then there are things that need to stop. Women generally find something that they like and stick with it, but as they age they also have to find change. A one hour make-up lesson and application at the salon will allow the client to see their transformation and well as teach them new tricks and provide the essential knowledge of looking their best at any age. In the end all these things are fun and relaxing. It is about finding enjoyment in beauty and loving ones-self. Everyone is beautiful, but looking your best takes steps!
