The calendar says "spring," but in the SCV, temperatures are already climbing. Since the thermometer has a head start on summer, so should your beauty regimen.

Pro Tip: Protect your Warm-weather Hair Color in Style
"Late spring and summer sunshine inspires light-kissed hair colors like brightening golds, dimensional reds and warm browns that are as vibrant as the season. Keep your color looking luscious with EVO Day of Grace, a light leave-in conditioner with UVB/UV and heat protectant that's great on all hair types under the sun. Evenly incorporate Day of Grace pre-blowdry, or spray over dry hair to rehydrate ends or reactivate curl. To complete your Californian look, mist EVO Salty Dog over your finished style to achieve that beachy separation or add playful texture to limp, fine hair. Both hair side-kicks are color safe, chemical free and green," ~ Chanel Robertson of Studio 4 487-2511

Brow Tints are your Secret Summer Accessory
Imagine waking up with perfectly-defined brows 24/7, ready for a day at the beach, a night on the town or a spur-of-the-moment vacation. Brow tinting from WAX by Heather Nelson can give you the perfect look to launch your warm-weather adventures beautifully.

Brow tinting has become an increasingly-popular companion service to the brow wax. With brow tinting, the illusion of a fuller, more-defined brow is created. Tints are customized to each client and can range from intense to subtle. Blondes no longer have to worry about filling in color every morning and brunettes can achieve a dark, defined brow that lasts for weeks.

When brow tint is applied, it is sculpted to the shape of the brow and left on from 7 to 15 minutes. When removed, the brow hair is stained to the desired color, and the skin beneath is also tinted in the shape of the brow. Tinting can provide the illusion of hair in areas where the real thing is missing. Women who are growing their brows out from thin to thick and might be experiencing patchy, uneven brows can now have a solution to make the transition less noticeable.

One of the greatest benefits of brow tinting is the low maintenance required, saving time in your morning makeup routine. Why not try tinted brows and be "camera ready" at a moment's notice this season? WAX by Heather Nelson is located in Sola Salon. 644-4346
