Honorable Mention at the Oscars

Posted February 25, 2013 by Jessica B..

The Oscars - to beauty buffs, this star-studded event is a night to be celebrated. We not only see our favourite stars dolled-up and handsome, but we're inspired, shocked and awed by the red carpet's explosive trends.

This year we saw chic and elegant hairstyles, most of which channelled old Hollywood. Long, luscious curls, sophisticated chignons, and fresh, dewey faces dominated the red carpet... And they couldn't have done it better.


Jessica Chastain was a picture perfect example of this with her elegant champagne dress and her luscious [...]

The Story of Ombre

Posted August 23, 2012 by Jessica B..

What is Ombre?
The term "ombre" literally means gradation - the fading of one colour into another.  It is typically characterized by hair colour that is two-toned: dark roots that transform into a lighter tone at the mid-shaft and ends.  It gives hair a sun-kissed look that is easy to maintain because roots can grow out and add to the look's impact.  

Embracing Ombre
Countless celebrities have flaunted their versions of ombre since it gained popularity in 2010.

Summertime Skin Care

Posted June 20, 2012 by Jessica B..

With summertime sunshine comes bikinis, cocktails and, you guessed it... freckles! This hyperpigmentation in your skin is actually damage caused by the sun.  It may not seem like much, but continued unprodtected sun exposure could lead to many problems such as:

  • Pigmentation and an uneven complexion
  • Broken capillaries/couperose (visible blood vessels)
  • Premature aging: a dramatic increase in fine lines and wrinkles

Prevention
To prevent skin damage this summer, ensure you use SPF 30 (at least!) when you go out to enjoy the sunshine! You can also rock a variety of chic headwear to protect the sensitive skin on your face.

Spa Tip of the Week: Advice from Terri Wojak

Posted May 25, 2012 by Cale Foulston.

Advice from Terri Wojak about how skin care professionals can best work with technologies such as Botox in their facility.

"Estheticians working in a medical office frequently encounter clients who have received Botox. When Botox first came to the market for cosmetic use, many estheticians were worried about it taking away from their business. In the past 10 years, many have come to realize that medical providers administering Botox can be a great source for esthetic business. If well-educated medical providers and estheticians work together, the Botox user can achieve optimal results through the addition of skin care.

Maricel Marasigan, EvelineCharles colour specialist takes a few minutes away from being behind the chair to answer a few common questions on hair colour corrections.
