Makeovers Salon & Spa Owner Shares Spring & Summer Fashion Tips

…Edward Blum, internationally recognized colorist/stylist and owner of Makeovers Salon & Spa, the largest in the state, shares spring and summer fashion tips for hair, nails and skin.

Blum, who attended the 2009 fashion shows in New York which unveiled the 2010 Spring collections and who just returned from serving on the Wella team for celebrity designer Donna Karan at Fashion Week 2010 as they introduced the DKNY Fall 2010 collection, offers his insight on the hottest looks for spring and summer:

1)Neutral colors, watercolor prints and bright florals will be predominant in clothing, but as far as make-up is concerned, the palate is nude and the effect is soft. The natural look is in, but full on, which means eyebrows are groomed and predominant, lashes are lush and make-up is nude with hint of blush. That splash of bright color on the lips will be the key feature and matte coral-reds will be most popular colors.

2)There’s a huge movement towards the organic and natural. More and more fashion designers are using organic cotton and linen textiles. Think “hippie-chic”. To go along with this, nails will be natural looking and gel nails and neutral colored gel polishes will be hot.

3)Whether hair is long or short, the style will be sporty and carefree. Hair color will be very natural looking with glosses and glazes leading the way. Talk to your stylist/colorist about which hair color/style would best suit you and how to acheive that “just rolled out of bed but still look fabulous” sporty type of look.

4)Skin care will be a top priority. The natural look demands beautiful skin. Organic, very moisturizing skin products will be at the top of everyone’s list for skin care. Skin treatments such as Microdermabrasion, which is a skin resurfacing treatment used to rejuvenate and restore a natural glow to the skin, will be very popular. Microdermabrasion works on all skin types and helps get rid of blemishes and acne and gives a healthy, youthful appearance.

Skin Care Expert Educates Other Practitioners in the Latest Cosmetic Laser Treatments

Dr. Richard Eisen, M.D., a board certified dermatologist and founder of South Shore Skin Center, with locations in Cohasset and Plymouth, recently educated physicians and advanced heath practitioners (estheticians, nurses, physician assistants) from across Massachusetts in the latest cosmetic laser technology treatments.

Last week, Dr. Eisen, a recognized leading expert in the field of laser therapy, educated skin care practitioners at a Candela Laser Corporation course held at Massachusetts Medical Society’s headquarters in Waltham. Dr. Eisen lectured and provided live demonstrations of advanced laser therapies including the Alex TriVantage laser; Gentle Max; VBeam Perfecta and Quadralase, a Fractional CO2 laser.

Laser technologies can smooth wrinkles and lines; improve the appearance of surgical scars, acne and acne scarring; remove hair; resurface soft tissues; improve pigmentation and eliminate redness and broken blood vessels.

“Laser technologies are extremely effective and minimally invasive. Laser treatments can often be performed in less than 30 minutes with outstanding results that may last for years depending on the type of treatment,” noted Dr. Eisen. He continued, “Laser therapies are certainly becoming more popular. Recently, I was approached by a tattoo parlor owner who wanted to potentially expand his business by utilizing laser treatments to get rid of unwanted tattoos for his clients.”

Dr. Eisen’s next speaking engagement for physicians will be held on July 22, 2009 in Providence, RI and will cover the advanced techniques and proper use of Juvederm and injectable fillers and Botox.
