Classic Vs. Volume Eyelash Extensions: Which one to Choose?

October 14, 2020 by admin

Seasons and trends change, the one thing is always trending, eyelash extensions!

However, picking the right style of lashes can be a challenging decision if you are not sure what type fits your eye shape. That’s why we’re here to help you decide which one to choose!

Classic Eyelash Extensions

If you want to add a touch of drama to your eyes, then this the perfect choice! Classic lashes are known as 1:1 ratio extensions, meaning that one lash extension is applied to each one of your natural lashes. The classic extensions give you the fullness you want while looking completely natural.

The classic lashes are also a good option to start with if you’re a bit unsure of getting lash extensions.

Volume Eyelash Extensions

Looking for full-to-the max eyelash extensions? Volume extensions are the ones for you! Volume lash sets are dramatic in appearance and can be easily noticed. They are a newer, innovative technique where multiple extensions are attached to one lash line. They add more dimension and texture to the eyes while creating a fuller, softer look.

Whichever eyelash extension style you decide to try, you’ll be sure to get the best results from Beauty Lounge! Schedule an appointment today!

Update Your Skincare Routine for Autumn

October 8, 2019 by admin

Are you “fall-ing” in love with everything autumn? Long gone are the hot days of summer, and now it’s time for sweaters, booties, and steaming lattes.

Sadly, you can’t carry over your summer skincare routine into autumn and expect the same results. The cool temperature of autumn can dry out your skin, leaving it flaky and dull. Our beauty experts here at the Beauty Lounge have some tips to keep your skin glowing long after summer has ended!

Slather on That Moisturizer

Your skin deserves extra care when the weather gets cooler. Thicker moisturizers are best for autumn, because cool air sucks moisture from your skin. Consider adding eye cream to your routine to give the delicate areas of your face some extra hydration.

The sudden change of temperature as we transition from summer to fall can cause your skin to be extra-sensitive. If you experience any burning sensation when applying your moisturizer, switch to a sensitive skin brand to calm that irritation.

Your face isn’t the only thing that needs moisture; give your body some love, too! Shea butter body lotions are great for skin that’s over-exfoliated and dry, because the fatty acids and vitamins in this product will soften your skin to perfection. Try applying body lotion once a day after showering, because your skin will better lock in moisture after all that steam.

Less Exfoliation, Please!

Exfoliating your skin is a great way to remove dead skin cells and get your glow on. But over-exfoliating, especially during the colder months, can dry out your skin and cause damage. Stick to gently exfoliating just once a week, and consider oil-based scrubs that exfoliate and moisturize your skin all at once!

Consider a Humidifier

With cold weather comes dry air, and sometimes, even moisturizers and body lotions aren’t enough to keep your skin healthy. We recommend investing in a humidifier and placing it by your bed. Humidifiers release moisture into the air, so your skin will continue to hydrate overnight.

Treat Yo’ Face

You deserve to pamper yourself once in a while – or as often as you like! The Beauty Lounge team has facial treatment options for all your skincare needs. We offer in-house consultations, so contact us today to schedule yours!

End of Summer Hair Care

September 3, 2019 by admin

As summer comes to an end, the weather gets cooler and tan lines start to fade. Those sunny days at the beach are becoming a distant memory, but your hair might not forget so easily.

We all love summer — but summer doesn’t always love our hair. Too much time spent in the sun can discolor your highlights or natural color. And because summer is so hot, you probably wore your hair up most of the time, putting a strain on your roots from high ponytails and top knots. Finally, all that chlorine, saltwater, and even air conditioning suck the moisture out of your hair, leaving your strands frizzy and dry.

That was a lot of scary information, but don’t worry — the damage isn’t permanent. There are treatments that can breathe life back into your sun-scorched and dried-out hair.

The Style Team at the Beauty Lounge wants your hair to be just as healthy today as it was back in May. We’ve got some tricks up our sleeves that can revitalize your locks and have them ready for fall!

TRIM THOSE DEAD ENDS

Those days out in the sun and in the water cause dryness that can wreak havoc on the ends of your hair. Split ends and frizz aren’t a great look, and if ignored, will only get worse.

Get a fresh start by trimming your dead ends. The sooner you do this, the less your stylist will have to take off. Chopping those dead ends will result in healthier hair, with shiny volume and minimal frizz.

GO AU-NATURALE

It’s best to keep things natural for a while so your hair can recover from the summer heat. Too many days at the beach has dried out your hair, so don’t add more fuel to the fire with excessive styling. Give your hair a break by staying away from blow drying, straightening, or curling.

We also recommend leaving your hair down rather than tying it back. Hair elastics rip out strands, and tight ponytails or buns pull on your roots – which can even result in hair loss. C’mon, let your hair down!

PAMPER YOUR HAIR

It’s possible that even a trim and break from styling won’t completely bring your hair back to life after summer. That’s where we come in!

Hair masks are affordable and effective. Our Hair Repairing Treatment Vials contain 100% organic leaf extracts that will moisturize and reconstruct your brittle strands. To further strengthen your hair, try Muru Muru Butter with its restorative fatty acids and Vitamin A. We also offer Milkshake hair products that contain milk proteins and fruit extracts to keep your hair silky and strong.

Really looking to revitalize your dried-out hair? A keratin treatment is the perfect way to smooth out all your frizz and kinks. This treatment basically puts armor on your strands, protecting them from future heat. Your hair won’t be dull and poofy anymore, so you’ll leave the salon with sleek and shiny locks.

You don’t have to regret those beach days! Our end-of-summer hair care tips will have your hair back to its luscious and shiny state in no time. Book an appointment with us today!

Check Out the Brazilian Bond Builder!

June 27, 2019 by admin

What’s not to love about switching up your hair color? It’s exciting to go from a light chocolate brown to a glowing summer blonde, and it can be a fun change to add a bright pop of color with balayage or ombré!

But sadly, coloring hair isn’t all sunshine and rainbows. Repeated color treatments can take a toll on your locks. In order to color or lighten your hair, chemicals break the bonds in your hair to deposit color into your strands. These bonds don’t completely fuse back together after treatment, often leading to dry and brittle hair.

Not all is lost: there’s a way to not only prevent color treatment damage but also strengthen hair with every color treatment. This is the Brazilian Bond Builder!

The Brazilian Bond Builder, also known as b³, is a professional product line that strengthens color-treated hair. Working at a molecular level, b³ repairs the broken bonds in your hair and prevents your strands from breaking.

b³ mixes into our color formulas directly, so there’s no extra step in your regular color treatment appointment. Every time you color your hair with the Beauty Lounge, your hair gets stronger, not weaker!

But wait: there’s more. This bond builder also makes your color last longer and appear more vibrant. Best of all, b³ is perfect for dry and damaged hair of all types. With this product, your hair will look and feel noticeably healthier after a color treatment.

b³ can be used at home in your aftercare routine, too. The product line offers a Color Care Shampoo and Conditioner, which will continue to strengthen and boost the vibrancy of your color. You can also try their Instant Restore & Protect Reconstructor, a weekly hair treatment that does just what the name says.

With your next color treatment, you don’t have to worry about further damaging your hair. We’ve added the Brazilian Bond Builder to our color formulas, so your color-treated hair can stay happy and healthy. Book an appointment and see the results for yourself!

Spring & Summer Hair Trends

April 30, 2019 by admin

With the rising temperatures and more time spent out in the sun, many women opt for lighter hair colors for the spring and summer seasons. At the Beauty Lounge, we want to make sure that your hair is ready for all your summer vacation photos! These are some of our favorite trends for the warmer seasons:

White-Blonde Highlights

Every blonde wants to lighten up her hair for the summer season. It’s time to try white-blonde highlights! They make your hair look sun-kissed and effortless. Whether your hair is straight or curly, long or short, the white-blonde will glisten in the sun and make a significant pop in your lip and eye color.

Caramel Highlights

If you want to brighten your brown hair for the summer but keep your tasteful chocolate color, consider caramel highlights! This caramel shade contrasts with the deep brown in your natural hair, making it pop even more while highlighting the colors in your face.

Natural Reds

Red is such a bold, beautiful, exotic color and experts predict that we’ll see it as a top trend in this coming spring. As opposed to drastic and deep reds, the spring and summer welcomes copper and the copper-gold family to create a more natural color.

Pastels

Spring is known for bright pastel colors, so don’t leave your hair out of the fun! Pastel shades like pink, lilac, and icy blue have become more popular in the spring. As these colors certainly make a statement, we recommend that you first try dying smaller sections on the interior of your hair to ensure that the color is everything you have dreamed.

Do any of these spring and summer speak to you? The stylists at the Beauty Lounge are here to help you, no matter what your beauty needs may be! Call (401) 349-3399 today to schedule your free consultation and decide if that spring trend is right for you!

Fall Hair Color Trends That Will “Leaf” You Speechless

October 31, 2018 by admin

Leaves don’t have to be the only thing changing color this fall.

The transition away from summer inspires darker colors to match the cooling temperatures. At the Beauty Lounge, we offer fall-inspired hair colors and techniques that are as trendy as a pumpkin spice latte. These are our favorite hair colors, inspired by our favorite parts of the new season.

RED VELVET

Second only to eating the cake itself, Red Velvet is the sweet hair color for those who want to add more red into their current color. With a variety of shades, you can choose anything between standout and subtle. We love this trend because blondes and brunettes alike can take a bite and enjoy.

TOASTED COCONUT

This hair color trend is made for those who aren’t ready to let summer go. This low-maintenance ombre is ideal for brunettes who want to go “bronde.” It can also be stunning with auburn or blonde hair. No matter the length of your hair, this color is the perfect way to say goodbye to summer.

FLANNEL

Inspired by everyone’s favorite fall clothing, “Flannel” is the perfect fall hair color for anyone who loves sweaters and drinking hot apple cider. The combination of burnt copper, auburn, deep red, and mulled wine hues create a warm, cozy color. Our favorite part about this color is that the variations of each of the shades can be changed depending on if your skin tone is warmer or cooler.

COLD BREW

In New England, we drink iced coffee all year-round. Why not match your hair with your favorite drink? The “Cold Brew” hair color trend is inspired by the swirling of milk and flavor into your coffee. Lighter hair colors should focus on the highlights to create a golden tone whereas darker hair colors would use neutral-toned highlights. We love that you can be inspired by your favorite coffee flavors to create a beautiful, rich color.

Feel inspired yet? Schedule your appointment with the Beauty Lounge for all your hair care needs.
