3 Simple Ways to Turn Your Bathroom Into A Dream Escape
Posted On January 7, 2020

 

Hair Masque & Chill

Relax in the tub, maybe with a glass of wine or cup of tea. Dim the lights and flicker a scented candle (pick up P.F. Candle Co’s long-lasting soy candles at the salon!) with the sound of peace and quiet or your favorite album or podcast. 

Full up the tub and sprinkle in Aveda’s stress-fix™ soaking salts for a heavenly aromatic dip. 

Apply the Smooth Infusion™ Smoothing Hair Masque to damp hair and wrap up away from the face. Sit back with the scent of calming lavender and clary sage while the shea butter and cupuaçu deeply moisturize your locks.

 

 

Soak & Scrub the Body

Soak in the aromatic warm water to open up the pores and release toxins. Deeply scrub the body with the 98% naturally derived Cherry Almond Body scrub. Free from silicone, petrolatum, parabens, mineral oil, gluten, and propylene glycol, this scrub is suitable for all skin types to scrub away any built-up dirt and oils. 

Lather up with body wash to gently cleanse the skin and finish up with a body lotion or oil, we love Aveda’s Beautifying selection of products. 

 

Replenish the Skin

Start by exfoliating the skin to remove any dull surface cells and reveal smoother skin.  Like our in salon, Exfoliating Enzyme Peel, the non-chemical properties of Aveda’s botanical kinetics™ radiant skin refiner exfoliates the skin with natural extracts leaving glowing results. This primes the skin to accept moisture and treatment for optimal results. 

For deep moisture, follow-up skin exfoliation with an intense hydration face masque. For oily skin, balance the face with a toning mist. 

No matter the skin type, don’t forget to add moisturizer and eye cream for smooth anti-aging results at home. 

Finish off by applying some lip balm and find yourself in a new state of being.

How to take care of your skin before and after wearing a face mask
Posted On January 6, 2020

Wallet.. keys.. phone…..Face mask!

There are many new routines we are adjusting to since the pandemic. Specifically, the addition of a face mask when leaving the house- a good way to keep yourself and others safe.

Overtime, face coverings tend to get itchy and bothersome, constantly needing adjustments, getting sweaty, and causing havoc to your skin. 

If you’ve been having skin difficult throughout this pandemic, you’re not alone. Dermatologists have reported an increase of acne breakouts over recent months, although not all contributed to wearing masks. Skin issues tend to flare up during times of stress and change. 

Wearing face masks, especially over time, may lead to irritation, redness, chafing, and breakouts. It’s more important than ever to give your skin some extra TLC. Here are some tips for keeping your skin happy and healthy!

 

Stay Hydrated

Never forget the power of water! Remember hydration throughout the day, especially in the morning to cleanse your body. Drinking 8 glasses of water per day helps rid the body and skin of toxins. 

Don’t forget to keep your skin hydrated too! The power of a good facial moisturizer will nourish dry spots and any chafing from long mask wear. The Aveda Tulasara Renew Morning Creme is “Yoga in a Jar”, instantly brightening your skin!

 

Get a Facial

Facials, especially when done correctly and thoroughly, cleanse, exfoliate, and nourishes facial skin. This promotes clear, hydrated, and anti-aging effects on the skin.

Different seasons and lifestyles change your skin, which is why it’s important to receive regular attention to your skin from an esthetician. You’ll reap continued benefits beyond anything you can do at home, even more so with continued consistent treatments!

At the salon, we’ve added new skincare treatments that target different skin trouble zones!

The Exfoliating Enzyme Peel is a non-chemical exfoliating fruit enzyme peel is ideal for anyone hoping to remove excess cell build-up, rough skin, or clogged pores. This treatment will leave your skin smooth, exfoliated, and bright.

Looking for radiant skins? Try the Radiance Enzyme Peel. The professional formula exfoliates and brightens the skin with an herbal enzyme mask. It will leave your skin feeling moisturized, non-greasy, and bright.

For maximum exfoliation, dermaplaning treatments remove dead skin cells and peach fuzz. Your skin feels incredibly smooth after this service and you’ll notice that it diminishes the appearance of fine lines and can help reduce the appearance of acne scars.

Youthful skin fast! The Anti-Aging Glycolic Peel is a professional 30% glycolic peel that accelerates the removal of dead skin cells, increases the skins elastic, and reduces the appearance of fine lines. This peel will leave your skin looking hydrated and youthful.

 

Wash your face twice per day

Morning and night! Washing your face removes bacteria that tends to grow in the heat and humidity of wearing a mask. Keeping your face clean does wonders, we recommend Aveda’s outer peace™ foaming cleanser which deeply cleanses pores, dissolving oil and makeup. 

 

Keep your mask clean

Remember to give your face covering some ❤️ and remove any makeup and buildup that you don’t want to breathe in your lungs. Cloth facial coverings are recommended to be routinely washed, depending on the frequency of use. 

 

Wearing a mask outside in public right now requires a little extra care for keeping your skin clear and healthy.

Microblading is all the rage… What is it and why is it worth your investment?
Posted On January 3, 2020

Eyebrows make a statement when you walk into the room. Brow products and services have skyrocketed in the beauty-industry, taking rank as the “beauty obsession of the decade.”

Trends have come and gone in eyebrow style over the decades. In the 1940s Marlene Dietrich’s pencil-thin eyebrows were all the rage. While in 2016, Cara Delevingne took the spotlight for her full and bushy dark brows.

Regardless of your style, the introduction of microblading services allows anyone to take control of their brow look.

What is Eyebrow Microblading?

Drawing on your eyebrows with a brow pencil is a one-day solution to highlighting and darkening your eyebrows. At the end of the day, you wash the makeup off and start over tomorrow.

Microblading is a semi-permanent technique, similar to tattooing, that creates perfectly groomed, natural looking full eyebrows.

The ink used for microblading is much lighter and less concentrated than tattoo ink, microblading ink is designed for facial skin and to have a natural look.

Who should consider getting microblading?

Anyone who is using an eyebrow product every day can benefit from getting their brows filled and darkened. You will have the confidence of all-day lasting, full and natural looking eyebrows.

Regardless of your hair color, microblading is a great solution for you. Custom shades of tint are created to perfectly match your brow and hair color.

There are some limits to medical and skin conditions that may prevent an individual from getting it done.

What kind of tools are used for microblading?

A spool brush is combed through your brows and a light cleanser to keep the area clean. A measurement tool lines up the shape of your desired arches and outlined with a drawing pencil.

A state-of-the-art blade tool made up of small, fine point is used to deposit the color pigment. The blade allows for hair like precision application with control.

How long does microblading last?

Depending on your skin type, microblading can last from anywhere between 1-2 years. We recommend getting touchups between that time period to redefine the depth of pigment.

The investment of microblading not only saves you the money spent on products but hours of time applying, reapplying and removing brow makeup.

We find that this makeup technique provides a new layer of confidence and relief in their day-to-day #BrowGoals routine.

 

How much does microblading cost?

At Canvas Salon, we factor in two microblading sessions for the price of $450. Additionally, we also offer a microblading touchup service within the first year at a reduced rate of $150.

Is there any post-application aftercare?

After your appointment, we recommend that you avoid extended periods of direct sunlight for the first two weeks. To extend the life of your new brows it’s important to use an SPF 30 or higher anytime you are spending time in the sun.

Strong & Healthy Hair: Caring for Your Scalp Year-Round
Posted On January 1, 2020

Through rushed showers, dry and humid seasons and sweaty workout sessions, the skin hiding underneath your hair is important to keep healthy.

Between managing skincare, haircuts, dying pesky roots, eyelashes and clean brows, having a healthy scalp is further down on the list of beauty needs. Often the skin is thought to stop after the forehead, out of sight, out of mind.

Depending on your individual body needs, your scalp may be experiencing dryness, itchiness, extra oil, or even dandruff that could be resolved with a care routine.

 

Care Tip #1: Exfoliation & Circulation

To boost the cell turnover in the skin and reduce flakes, it’s important to exfoliate the skin on your head on a regular basis. A strong scrub on your head can remove excess product and dead skin buildup.

In addition to scrubbing, at Canvas Salon, we start every hair treatment with a massage and choice of lavender or peppermint essential oils to increase the blood circulation. Smooth circular motions revive oxygen and nutrient to stimulate healthy hair growth.

 

Care Tip #2: Washing the Scalp

The right system of shampoo and conditioner can work wonders for your scalp health. Different seasons also highlight different needs. We recommend washing your hair 3-5 times a week to avoid stripping healthy oils but also cleanse the scalp. Use lukewarm water to achieve ideal results and avoid frizz.

If you suffer from dry skin on the scalp, reach for a shampoo and condition formulated with moisturization, like the new Aveda Nutriplenish Line. When washing the hair, gently massage the shampoo into the hair and rinse well. If your hair tends to get on the oily side, the Aveda Sap Moss conditioner provides hydration without weighing the hair down.

 

Care Tip #3: Scalp Care Products 

Oils in the scalp are necessary for moisture and health, washing too hard or too often may strip the hair of healthy oils. Adding a hair oil, like the Dry Remedy dry moisturizing oil, instantly moisturizes dryness and transforms brittle hair.

Second-day hair is often cured with a dry shampoo, which can often lead to build-up. We recommend an alternative to gently revive the skin, the Rinseless Refresh micellar hair & scalp refresher instantly refreshes hair and texture while taming frizz.

 

Care Tip #4: Protecting Your Scalp

Just like the skin on your body, it’s important to protect the skin on your scalp from the sun year-round. Your scalp can get sunburnt like anywhere else. Depending on the amount of time in the sun, it’s best practice to wear a hairstyle without a part to protect the skin. You can also wear a hat to protect your scalp skin!

For minimal damage and dryness from UV rays, Aveda also carries a Sun Care protective hair veil to decrease sun exposure to the hair.

Keeping a balance of the elements and products treating your scalp is important for the overall health of your head and hair. Regular haircuts are important to maintain hair strength.

 

We’ve Updated Our Washing Experience at The Canvas Salon!

Starting in 2020, you will notice our massage and shampoo treatments have been taken up a notch. We upgraded to shampoo beds for increased comfort to provide a relaxing salon experience.

Waxing: Everything you need to know before your waxing appointment
Posted On October 21, 2019

Let’s talk wax. If you’ve never gotten waxed before, you might be wondering some very common questions we receive at Canvas Salon. How long does it take? Does waxing hurt? Do I have too much hair? Do I not have enough hair? What does aftercare look like?

 

Know that most everyone can feel a bit self-conscious or apprehensive before their appointment. Our staff is trained to help you feel comfortable and help you achieve the smooth hair-free skin you are looking for.

 

At The Canvas Salon & Skin Bar, we believe in being transparent with communication. Our guests should feel confident and know what to expect before walking into the salon. Have you ever walked into an event or place and had no idea where to go or what to do? It can feel awkward, right?

 

Whether you have a special event coming up or are looking for regular hair maintenance, we want to ensure your comfort and relaxation during your visit.

 

Here’s the lowdown: Waxing is one of the most effective and lasting ways to get rid of unwanted hair.

 

Waxing provides silky, soft and hair-free skin for typically about 3-4 weeks. It is also a physical exfoliation, removing the lifeless skin cells on the surface of the skin- something that shaving just doesn’t do! Compared to shaving, waxing removes the hair follicle directly from the root.

 

Compared to epilation which removes hair right below the skin’s surface, waxing is much less painful and has longer-lasting results.

 

After the first treatment, most guests find their hair grows back both thinner and finer.

 

 

#1 tip

To prepare for your first waxing appointment remember to RELAX. Most often the discomfort related to waxing is the nerves and tension one feels in the waxing bed. Take a breath. Remember not to tan, drink excessive caffeine or use any numbing cream before your appointment.

 

Mostly, people are worried about the pain of getting waxed. It’s important to note that waxing is quick and over in an instant. The hair is gone before you know it- really. Our friendly trained estheticians are here to make you the most comfortable- whether that’s by talking, cracking a joke or understanding if you prefer to put headphones in and listen to some music or a podcast. This is your time and we want you to have the best experience possible.

 

Canvas Salon’s Skin Artist, Karoline says, “My best advice is to come to your appointment as relaxed as you can. Like a lot of things in life, the anticipation is often worse than the actual event. I’ll make sure you are comfortable! ”

 

Hair Length For Waxing

The hair should be at least ¼ inch long at the time of your waxing appointment. For eyebrow waxing, 1/8 of an inch in length works.

Waxing Appointment Process

Appointment times can vary, but most of our guests are in and out between 15 to 30 minutes. We start your treatment by cleansing the skin to remove any oils or lotions that could limit the quality of your wax treatment.

After your waxing appointment, your stylist will rejuvenate the skin with our Bush Balm and review the proper after-wax care to ensure lasting, silky skin. We love the Bush Balm exfoliating scrub paired with one of the oil blends to reduce ingrown hairs. Know that being regular and consistent with your waxing schedule is recommended for lasting, smooth skin.

 

The Canvas Salon & Skin bar offers both face and body waxing for men and women.
