wax on wax off

With Vancouver's summer at it's peak I have been spending any free time poolside at Jericho, paddle boarding at Kits and relaxing with the family at the Cabin. All of these places have something in common, Men with hair on their backs. I have battled the urge to offer my services to these hairy men, but the thought of their humiliation keeps me from doing it. There are Men who like to wax their chest, brows and even legs (for sports) and all of these are optional but I stand firm on my belief that if you have hair or someone you know has hair on their back it is as a caring friend of family member that you refer them to me or some professional. Do not let them/do not use depilatory creams, (these are chemical's that dissolve hair = not healthy) Shaving can leave horrible razor burn and can become extremely itchy.
Backs are one of the two most sensitive areas on the body to wax. The other being the upper lip. It is very common after a back wax to have a break out of little bumps and/or rash. Do not be scared, this can also be prevented by not showering in extreme temperatures right after, swimming, working out and hot tubing. If you do react, it will only last a couple days, this usually only happens the first couple times you wax and then your skin and hair follicle adjust.
If you, your husband, boyfriend, partner, brother, dad, uncle, cousin or nephew have any questions..... email or call.

Touring America

The newest OPI Collection is in. What is your favorite colour this Fall going to be? I already know mine...... I brake For Manicures, and Road House Blues. Send me an email to order any of these colours before the suppliers are all sold out!

Deck Feet

This is a term some of you may be aware of and others of you not. This is the very dry, almost shredded heels that your feet turn into after spending weeks walking on your docks and decks bare foot.
Regular Pedis will help this but really Flip Flops and shoes are the only way to prevent the wood from absorbing all the moisture from our feet.
The best cream I have found to deal with this is the Gehwol Blue intense foot cream. The thick emulsion filled with extracts of Tea tree, Rosemary and Mint ( is to name a few) is a sure way to keep your feet soft between Pedis at the Cabin or Cottage this season! $15 a tube, email me to get your feet ultra smooth this season.

lots of other things last 8 days too.....

So this is the second picture my client has sent me to prove to me how well her Mani is lasting. This one titled, 8days. Not Bad!

Make your Manicure last!!!

Frustrated that your Manicure doesn't last? Wish you could get 5 days without a chip?
Here a few tips for after your Manicure to make it last!

1) For long wear choose a lighter shade, Dark shows everything!
2) Pick and choose when you really need to wash dishes, clothes, kids and anything else that cause hands to submerge in the water for periods of time
3) Don't pick at anything! Nails, skin, pimples, scabs, dried counter goop or open beer cans.
4) Apply a Top Coat 2-3 days after your Manicure to ensure long wear.
(OPI Top Coat is available to order send me an email if you need some)
5) Get healthier nails with a monthly Mani and weekly mini or polish change. This will keep your nails, cuticles and hands in great condition. The more your nails are painted the better you are at protecting them!
Good Luck!

The Tips about waxing everyone should know....

So the other day I was working out with my cousin at Rep 1 fitness. We were talking about waxing (this is very common in my group of friends) and the more we talked the more I realized that people aren't educating their clients as much as they should.

So here's some things you need to know about waxing.

1) Upper Lip and Back are the most sensitive and reactive on the whole body

2) Hair should be about 1/4 of an inch to pull it out by the root, the more you wax, the smaller the root so you don't need to let the re-growth grow as much

3) The more you wax, the less the hair grows back. For example waxing your lip will not make it grow in more, darker or faster! I get asked this ALL THE TIME

4) Waxing regularly, every 4-6 weeks will make it less painful. Longer hair, means bigger root, which means more pain!

5) Exfoliating regularly will lessen your ingrown hairs. Sometimes for the bikini area, the tighter and lacier the underwear the more ingrown hairs you may be susceptible too. Use PFB Vanish everyday to prevent and diminish them. Don't pick if it is blind, you'll make a bigger mess of it. If you can see the hair just below the surface, after your shower gently squeeze. If it doesn't come out leave it to the professionals.

6) Shaving in between is a waste of your money on waxing. Book your next appointments ahead of time to avoid the last minute razor incidents

7) First time waxers will have 3 different hair growths. It is going to take  3-5 times to get everything on the same cycle.

Be patient it will come good I promise!

Remember not to have really hot showers, steams or hot tubs right after and if you have any more questions ask your Esthetician!
