Make your nail polish last longer

  1. Before painting your nails, dip your fingers in cider, or apple vinegar for a few minutes and allow them to dry naturally (do not wipe them dry). The polish will stick to your fingernails and not to the natural oil on the surface of your nails.
  2.  Another method would be to remove all the residue and oil from your nails with soaking your hands in lukewarm, soapy water and scrubbing them slightly with a cloth. The nail polish will be applied on a clean and dry surface.
  3. Tip for yellowed nails: You can also soak your nails in lemon juice for about 8-10 minutes, it will instantly brighten your nails and banish yellowness
  4. Apply your nail polish in thin coats (applied in thick layers, your polish will will only peel). Let these layers dry naturally, give some time for coats to adhere to your nails.
  5. The applied top coat can be hardened - after finishing your nail polishing soak your hands into cold water for several minutes. (I love this tip... I am totally trying this one today!!)
  6. You can also increase the life of the nail polish, if you apply a thin coat of topcoat every day. (I have tried this and it seemed to peel anyhow... but maybe what I consider a thin coat really isnt thin.)
  7. The texture of a nail polish can totally change if you don't keep it in a cool place - preferably in the refrigerator. This will lengthen their life span. (Cool idea... literally, haha.)
  8. Interesting!!! Shaking the nail polish bottle is forbidden you're only make it full of air bubbles - instead, roll it between your palms.
  9. Last but not least.... Moisturize your hands daily in order to prevent the nail polish from cracking, if your hands are dry, polish is prone to deteriorating. If you wish you can use olive oil as a moisturizer.

NIOXIN is in our salon now!!!

Hair loss, for whatever reason, can be a devastating experience. Whether you are concerned about future hair loss (perhaps your mom, sister, or grandmother have thinning hair) or you are experiencing thin hair right now, Nixoin may be the answer you're looking for. With decades of research and a solid reputation for understanding the biology behind hair loss, Nioxin is a product you can trust.
  There is no hype, miracle promises, or unattainable claims with Nioxin.

Nioxin is a series of hair products and scalp treatments that help optimize the health of the scalp resulting in youthful, healthy-looking, and often thicker hair. Nioxin utilizes advanced technology (developed over more than 20 years), including:

BioAmp: glycol-proteins that are designed to add thickness and strengthen the hair from inside the cuticle. Cystine acids work to seal the cuticle and help repair damaged fine hair.

SmoothPlex: a proprietary blend of silk amino acids and kukui nut oil that adds moisture, natural shine and smooth control to medium to coarse hair.

Glyco-Color Shield: dual protection technology protects your scalp from damage and irritation caused by chemical services such as highlights, lowlights, permanent waves, and relaxers, while preserving your hair color.

Transactive Delivery System: time-release system that is formulated with vitamins, moisturizing nutrients and botanicals.

Scalp Access: a micronutrient system that delivers moisturizing nutrients and proteins onto the scalp and hair.

Tips for a great hair!!!



If you wish to have a great hair, read our tips:

Wouldn't it be fabulous, if every day was a good hair day? Fortunately, no matter what your hair type is, your locks can look healthy and lustrous in any situation. In this article, you'll find some general tips for healthy hair followed by specific sections on caring for different hair types.
1. Wash your hair correctly. Note: If you can, try not to wash your hair everyday. Daily baths and showers will strip your hair of its natural oils.
Massage your scalp with the shampoo and conditioner. Do this for about 40 seconds before washing it out. If you have oily hair, repeat the process once more (with the shampoo, not conditioner). When you massage the top of your head, the circulation increases and it also helps prevent dandruff. Use a sulfate and silicone free shampoo if your hair is curly or wavy.
Pour conditioner into your hand and rub from the tips of your hair to the roots. If you want softer silkier looking hair, leave the conditioner in your hair for a few minutes before you rinse it off.
Try to wash your hair on the coolest setting that is comfortable or at least try giving it a final rinse of cool water. This seals the hair cuticles (the outermost layer of the hair shaft) and locks in moisture, making it shinier. Hotter water may be used occasionally to wash hair, if you have very oily or dirty hair. Either way, try rinsing in cool temperature water for the final rinse.

2. Dry your hair in a careful manner. Blow dryers can be more benefiting than air-drying if you use them correctly. When you blow dry your hair, put it on a cool setting and hold distance it away to protect it from any heat. If you hold the blow dryer too close, the water in your hair can begin to boil. This is why hair dryers are known to be bad, but if you use it correctly it is very good. If you can, avoid drying your hair with heat as much as you can; it will only age your hair.
Avoid wringing your hair with a towel after you get out of a shower. Wet hair is more fragile, and wringing it could cause your hair strands to break or fall out.
Use heat protection spray when you blow dry your hair. You should also use protection spray when you use hot rollers or a flat iron.

3. Avoid brushing your hair while it's wet. Wet hair is stretchier and has a tendency to break. Also, don't brush your hair too much. People say that brushing your hair 100 strokes a day will make it smoother -- but it will only cause breakage to your hair.
When you do brush your hair, try a natural bristle brush like a boar bristle brush. These brushes distribute oils throughout your hair to make it softer and shinier.
Only use a wide-tooth comb on wet hair. Apply leave-in conditioner or detangler to make your hair more pliable.

4. Give your hair some special treatment from time to time.
Apply a deep conditioning treatment. You can use deep conditioning treatments like olive oil, argan oil, avocado oil or coconut oil.
You can also purchase a hair mask or hair cream and apply it.
Use a natural treatment like olive oil, mayonnaise and an egg or a soak in full-fat milk. Leave these treatments in for 2 to 3 hours and rinse them out thoroughly without applying shampoo or conditioner. You can do this once or twice per week, if you see good results.
Use a leave-in conditioner at least once a week. Leave-in conditioners penetrate deep into your hair cuticles to heal them more completely.
Try a spray leave in conditioner/ detangler after you shower. The conditioner will make your hair more pliable and manageable.

5. Go easy on styling products. Styling products can dry your scalp, if you use it directly at the scalp. Try not to use it often, but if you must, apply to hair strands and not the scalp. Then, style your hair at most 4 times a week to avoid damaging it.
6. Accessorize your healthy, gorgeous hair. Clips or barrettes can compliment beautiful hair. Coordinate them with your outfits or your personality. If you use elastics, use fabric-covered elastics to prevent breakage and tangles.
7. Eat healthy foods that will keep your hair strong and lustrous. Your diet can also prevent hair loss.
Essential fatty acids, especially omega-3 fatty acids, promote healthy skin, hair and nails. You should eat some of these foods, which are rich in omega-3, every day:
Salmon, tuna, mackerel, and other fatty fish
Flax seed oil
Walnuts, almonds, and milk
Vitamins B-6, B-12, and folic acid are also important to your hair. You can always take a multivitamin to get more of these nutrients, but you can also add foods rich in these vitamins to your diet.
Vitamin B-6: bananas, potatoes (both white and sweet) and spinach.
Vitamin B-12: meat, poultry, fish and dairy products.

Folic acid: citrus fruits, tomatoes, whole grain and fortified grain products, beans and lentils.

Nail health: what is paraffin treatment and therapy

Paraffin treatment began with the use of paraffin as warming and relaxing mean before massage and heat packs to treat sprains and muscle strain. But the remarkable properties of this substance led to that paraffin now is successfully used in cosmetics, manicure and pedicure.
Paraffin is wax-like substance, a mixture of saturated compounds containing the maximum amount of hydrogen. What is worth our attention is that That paraffin is widely used in medicine and cosmetology.
One of the most useful features is its large heat capacity. Paraffin begins to melt at 52-54 degrees, gradually turning into a sticky viscous  white mass. In Paraffin therapy only melted wax to a liquid state is used, which is applied to the skin in the form of applications. High temperature of wax isn’t dangerous in terms of burns- having low thermal conductivity, it loses heat in very small portions. Skin temperature under a layer of hot paraffin increases by 1.5-2 degrees.



Such even warming of the skin causes a lot of interrelated reactions in paraffin therapy. Pores open and  sweating increase . However, the moisture evaporates from the surface, as wax seals well this area of ​​the skin. The moisture re-absorbed into the skin, restoring it perfectly hydrated. Therefore, the main effect of paraffin therapy is the effective skin hydration.
With increasing of temperature, skin blood flow increases. This helps to improve the work of the joints,  repair tissue, and rapid healing of wounds. In this regard, paraffin therapy is widely used in medicine for the treatment of diseases of the joints, the effects of a variety of injuries, pain in hands and feet.
Together with the increased circulation of blood and lymph increases circulation and toxins release. As a result of removing toxins paraffin improves ”breath.”
paraffin therapy
The other feature of paraffin treatment is the ability to reduce the amount of cooling. This property is the cause of ”squeezing” of paraffin - the effect reaches its maximum in 25-30 minutes. Finishes the procedure so that a layer of wax tightly covers all surrounding tissues. This helps to stretch and smooth out the skin. This “pulling” effect helps to fight the swelling of the face. The thermal effect in paraffin that all active components are very well penetrate into the deeper layers of the skin through the enlarged intercellular spaces.
One of the main advantages of paraffin is its diversity : applications  can be done on any part of the body – nails, arms, legs, face, abdomen and thighs. Most often spend paraffin on hands and face, so they are the most vulnerable parts of the body, fully conscious of itself in the action of external factors. They suffer from dryness, cracks, flaking and redness. And in just one session paraffin cope with all these unpleasant phenomena – the skin becomes smooth, soft. The effect of paraffin is noticeable after the first session and, more importantly, save about seven days. Foot care with paraffin is also very effective.
Quite often, leg experiencing tremendous overload of inconvenient and impractical shoes, heels start to hurt, leather soles and coarsens cracks, blisters and corns appear. But a few sessions of the same paraffin foot just make silk. Paraffin hands and feet in addition to medicinal properties, has a wonderful relaxing effect. For greater effect in the procedures used paraffin with the addition of herbal extracts and flavourings – fragrant peach and lavender, jasmine, refreshing menthol and aloe moisturizing, softening almond oil and cocoa, and vitamins, particularly A and E to help strengthen skin cell renewal.
And to combat the extra inches, even mixed with paraffin, marine mud to improve lymphatic drainage and improve skin elasticity.

Paraffin therapy and treatment is a quite simple procedure, and if you decide to use it to maintain your skin, you can safely carry it on your own.
