Each new year brings GRAND expectations.  Perhaps you vowed to tone up, volunteer more, read more, be a better friend, mother, sister.  Whatever your resolution, we’re rounding into February … right when we settle back in to the same old-same old.  We’re going to try our very best to support you in your resolutions.  Regardless of your resolution, we guarantee that you’ll come close—and may even reach your goal—if you take some time for you.  Check out some of our favorite services and products.  With this feel-great foundation, we know you’ll be well on your way to a better YOU!

Hair

Haircut & Color:
(or, just a cut if you so choose)
There’s no better pick-me-up than a fresh haircut and color.  Perhaps you’re feeling the need to reinvent, freshen up or simply want to try something new.  Regardless, after a visit with one of your professionals, we’re sure you’ll be on your way to feeling great.  After a consultation, your professional will help you decide exactly how to achieve the result you’re looking for.  Perhaps it’s adding a great high-or-low light to add dimension to your hair, maybe it’s adding fringe to frame your face – or, maybe it’s just a new styling technique to achieve those model-esque, loose waves… Either way, a fresh look will be a great stepping stone to Spring!



The Trick to Healthy Locks:
Products, Products, Products
Feeling like your hair has taken a beating from the dry winter air?  We suggest a little product love – specifically one of the several awesome leave-in conditioners we carry.  Ironically, all three of our faves are by Schwarzkopf BC Bonacure.   Moisture Kick Moisture Spray Conditioner is a great, basic leave-in conditioner, Color Save Spray Conditioner is a 2 phase lightweight leave in spray conditioner for daily maintenance and protection of normal to fine textured hair and Time Restore Q10 Satin Spray detangles fine, mature and fragile hair and recharges it with significantly more strength to fight the signs of ageing.  Regardless of your choice, we guarantee that you will experience healthy, rehydrated hair for long-lasting beauty.


SKIN

Makeup Lesson & Application:
Become Your Own Pro
There’s no harm in asking “how.”  Seriously.  A MAKEUP LESSON & APPLICATION is perfect for gals of any age.  In this hour-long service, our estheticians will apply makeup and show you how to enhance your best features through color and application techniques.  You’ll leave the salon as a bombshell beauty with fab makeup and will have a personalized chart so you can recreate your look from home!  Step aside Kim K. – all CP girls will know the tips and tricks to get your amazingly smokey eye.



Microdermabrasion:
Wait, what is it?
We know you’ve heard of it but we wanted to tell you the true story.  During a MICRODERMABRASION TREATMENT a jet of very tiny crystals is sprayed across the surface of the skin to remove impurities and imperfections.  Simply put, Microdermabrasion is an advanced non-surgical way to rejuvenate your skin.  If you’ve been exposed to environmental elements or dare we say…aging (*gasp…), this is the PERFECT service for you.




NAILS

Grand Manicure:
Just what it sounds like...it's GRAND!
The GRAND MANICURE is the perfect way to give those digits a tune-up after weathering the winter cold and snow.  In this service, your hands are exfoliated, massaged with a hydrating lotion, dipped in paraffin, and then placed in heated gloves. Your nails and cuticles are then manicured, followed by application of the polish of your choice. And, may we suggest a foundation, pistachio or tangerine hue to get you in the mood for Spring? 




Miracle-Worker Moisturizer:
Avoplex Cuticle Oil “To Go”
Has the cold, dry winter weather left you with gnarly cuticles and hangnails?  We have a perfect (and, purse-friendly) product for you.  Avoplex Cuticle Oil “To Go” replenishes essential moisture and lipids with antioxidant vitamin E plus avocado, sunflower, sesame, & kukui nut oils. This convenient tube with soft-touch brush is leak-proof and can be applied at any time – even on the go!
 



MASSAGE + BODY


TheraStone Massage:
Best of Both Wolds
Warm up AND give your muscles a total treat with the THERASTONE MASSAGE.  This unique massage is the PERFECT combination of our soothing Therapeutic Massage coupled with the benefits of our Hot Stone Massage. After an hour with one of our Licensed Massage Therapists, you’ll be totally relaxed, your circulation increased and your muscle function improved.  





Body Polish Massage
Another two-for-one service, the BODY POLISH MASSAGE is an incredible winter retreat.  During this service, a gentle exfoliating lotion is applied to resurface the skin. After a refreshing shower, a soothing oil massage is performed to hydrate and restore the luster of your skin.  Best yet, we’re now offering seasonal scrub scents in cranberry and chocolate.  (YUM!)  After this 1 ½-hour long service, you’ll be ready (at least in spirit) for those shorts and sundresses!


We hope that you’ve found this guide to GRAND services and products helpful!    We sure have enjoyed putting it together for you.  We encourage you to take time for yourself this winter!  Keep your resolution in full swing – just give us a ring (614.418.5350.) 

Cheers for a GRAND 2012!

These trends are sure to make you the envy at every party and event you attend this holiday season. So read up.  Take these trends from us.  It’s what we do – and, a little gift just for you.

HAIR


IT’S ALL ABOUT THE COLOR RED
If you have been looking for a change with your hair color for the Holiday, RED is the way to go.  From the runways in New York, Paris and Japan, RED is everywhere and we don’t see it fading any time soon! Go big, go bold and go RED for the Holidays! We recommend our new color line Essensity to achieve rich red and burgundy hues.







HOLLYWOOD GLAMOUR STYLES
Just because you aren’t walking the red carpet doesn’t mean you can’t look and feel as if you are. Hollywood Glamour is a forever classic look and a simple way to make a great dress AMAZING! This is an ideal style if you are looking to soften your shoulders in a strapless dress. Feel as if you are going to be walking the red carpet when you leave any Charles Penzone Salon after a Special Event Style.  When done by the pros, this type of look is sure to last all night! 








SIMPLE & SLEEK STYLES
Just because the Holidays are often busy and big doesn’t mean your look has to be. Whether you have long or short hair, simple and sleek is a great look that can transfer from day to night when paired with the right haircut and color. To discover your simple and sleek look, first start by coming in to see us for an incredible haircut and color.  When you start with a great foundation, the sleek look really can be simple! 





MAKEUP

BOLD BROWS
Dark, dramatic and full eyebrows are taking center stage this season. We started to see trends of this in the fall, but plan on this look sticking around through winter, too. To help get this look, let your brows grow in a bit to give them a thicker, more defined look. This sounds scary, but just be sure to schedule your eyebrow arch appointment with your favorite Charles Penzone esthetician to achieve the perfect shape.

To help maintain your new bold brows, consider taking home our Youngblood Artiste.



INTENSE EYES
Who says that once you start to grow up you have to stay away from glitter?! This holiday, hues of gold, silver, bronze and gunmetal gray are the colors to embrace for that trend-right Holiday look. If a classic look is more your style don’t be shy, after all, the holidays only come once a year be sure to play up your eyes and embrace these colors! Finish any of these looks with a set of flirty faux lashes.  You really can't go wrong!

To make getting ready for those holiday parties worry-free, schedule a Makeup Lesson & Application to learn which hue is best for you. Better yet, leave the trouble to our team and pamper yourself with a Airbrush Makeup Application.  Your skin will have a dewy, sexy glow that will last all night!



LOVELY LIPS
The key to making any style look finished is the perfect lip color! Put the finishing touch on your look with RED lips, a sure fire way to ring in the holidays with a kiss. For those that are bold, consider going for a rich colored lipstick like Vixen by Youngblood followed with a high shine lipgloss. For those that want a more flirty lip, consider Kranberry by Youngblood or a tinted lip balm.
