How well do you know your skin?

Skin type is determined by genetics, but the condition of our skin can vary depending on internal and external factors. Everyone has their own unique skin type, and based off of which one you are, you should choose the proper products for your skin. Choosing the right products for you is essential not only to select effective products but also to ensure that you aren't picking anything that will irritate your skin but something that will complement it. The Four Skin Types Normal - this skin type is not dry or oily, is primarily blemish-free, has an even tone and texture, and has minimal pores.  Oily - this skin type has a greasy and shiny appearance, is prone to acne and blemishes, and has larger pores. Combination - this skin type is a mix of oily and dry, typically with an oily t-zone area (nose, chin, and a little bit of the forehead) and the cheeks and forehead area being drier. The pores also tend to be larger. Dry - this skin type has a coarser texture and has more pre-mature...

Waxing 101

Have you been thinking about trying facial or body waxing but aren't sure if its right for you or what to expect? This one's for you! Here are a couple of tips to get you ready for your first wax appointment: Waxing vs. shaving- waxing pulls the hair directly from the root, rather than just trimming it to the skin, so your smooth skin will last longer with a wax You may experience some redness after your wax, but it's only temporary. Any redness or irritation should subside within a day or two. Regular waxing appointments should be scheduled every 4-6 weeks but can differ on your personal needs. Exfoliation between appointments helps to prevent ingrown hairs and leave your skin softer and with less texture. No, your hair won't grow back thicker because of your wax! Please let your esthetician know about any allergies before your wax appointment. Avoid sun, hot baths, or hot tubs and pools for 24 hours Lastly, take a deep breath and relax! Waxing is quick and easy, and w...

Breakage be gone

Breakage got you down? Your hairbrush might be to blame, but we've got the solution now. Say it with me: "GENESIS." How often have you gotten out of the shower, brushed your hair, and been absolutely horrified by the amount of hair you saw on your brush? Second to chemical damage, mechanical breakage due to brushing is more common than you think, and Kerastase has a solution for that! The Genesis line features a complete regimen of products to minimize breakage caused by brushing and strengthening hair over time. Did we also mention it smells amazing?! Shampoo and condition your hair, then apply the thermal spray to damp hair BEFORE blow drying. This will help protect your hair from heat, provide hydration, and keep frizz at bay. Use the daily fortifying serum in 4 doses on a dry or towel-dried scalp and leave it in for extra nourishment and breakage prevention.

Color care 101

Have you ever wondered how often you should color your hair? Unfortunately, there's no exact magic number we can give you, but we have some recommendations that will surely help you sort out your schedule. For typical root touch-ups, we recommend visiting the salon every four to six weeks. Depending on your hair growth, you will fall in that time frame.  For a highlight service, we recommend visiting the salon every 10 to 12 weeks, but this will also depend on your hair growth. It is important to maintain your regular appointments so that you can keep your color fresh, vibrant, and beautiful.  Another tip is to schedule your services around important life events that you want to look extra special for! As always, we offer complimentary consultations to answer all of your questions for your specific hair goals and needs.

Why is self-care so important 🌞

In 2024, you probably won't go more than a day without hearing "self-care," but what does self-care mean, and why is it important? Self-care is unique to each and every person, so my definition of self-care might look very different from yours, but we can agree that self-care is most commonly defined as rituals that you practice to take care of your body and mind. Self-care practices will differ based on what feels good to you and involve consciously engaging in activities that will make you healthier, whether your mental or physical health. Adopting daily, weekly, or even monthly self-care practices can improve your mood and overall well-being, and we can agree when you feel good, you look good, and so on. At Elite Salon and Spa, we are passionate about self-care and offer services that will inspire you to continue to care for yourself at home and find your perfect customized beauty rituals. Some of our favorite self-care ideas include: Give yourself a mini spa day betwe...
