Top 3 Must-Have Aveda Products For Vacation | Matthews NC

It’s that time of year again, when we are all ready to pack our bags and go on vacation. The great thing about Aveda is that most of their products are available in travel sizes. This not only means its easy to pack, it also means that since they are under 3 oz. you will be able to put them in your carry-on, making them perfectly airport compatable! So before you leave make sure you have these three hair products!

1) Smooth Infusion Style-Prep Smoother

A couple of weeks ago I went on vacation to Florida. If you have ever been there you know that the water quality makes hair a nightmare! Usually by the end of my visit I am ecstatic to go home just to make my hair manageable again, but this was not the case this time! I packed my Style-Prep Smoother, said a little prayer and to my surprise my hair was shiny, soft, and most importantly smooth. This product will give your hair that much needed manageability so you can spend more time relaxing and less time stressing over your hair!

 

2) Phomollient Styling Foam

While on vacation you will probably want to have a night on the town. Whether this entails dinner or a show, adding a bit of volume to your hair can dress up your entire look or even just add that ‘wow’ factor you were missing. Aveda’s Phomollient will give you that volume as well as an added shine. For best results work 3 to 5 pumps of product in your hands and apply evenly, focusing on the roots and then working it throughout the rest of your hair. I would suggest taking small sections of your hair and round brushing it out. If you don’t have a lot of time, just roundbrush the top section of your hair to really get the lift at your root!

 

3) Air Control Hairspray

Whether you’ve used the style-prep smoother, the Phomollient, or both, you are going to want to set your look with hairspray to ensure the style lasts throughout the day! While Aveda carries a wide variety of hairsprays, I lean towards air control for vacations just because it is a lighter hold and it has a really nice smell to it. So after you have achieved your desired style, spray the air control 6-8 inches away so that it is evenly distributed.

Why Shellac Trumps Polish, Gel, and Acrylic | Matthews NC

All of us at diviniti salon have been absolutely spoiled since our nail technician, Leigh, started working here. Now, despite having our hands submerged in water, hair color, and makeup all day, our nails always look healthy and beautiful. People are constantly asking me how I’ve been able to grow my nails so long and I give all the credit to Leigh and her Shellac polish.

Shellac is a hybrid between traditional nail lacquer and gel overlay. It typically lasts for 2 weeks with minimal chipping, has zero drying time, does not damage the nail, and is super shiny.

Shellac is applied a lot like nail lacquer would be- with a base coat, a couple coats of color, and a top coat. But each coat is cured under a UV lamp in order to harden and dry.

When applying Shellac, the natural nail does not need to be “ruffed” or damaged the way that it does when applying acrylic overlay. And Shellac is quickly and easily removed with acetone (in about 15 minutes). There is no need for a drill or other intimidating (and potentially damaging) tools.

Right before I got married, I had acrylic put on my nails. It was the first time I had ever put anything more than nail color on my hands and it looked really nice for the wedding. But after removing it, my nails looked awful. They were damaged and peeling and I couldn’t get them to grow past my nail beds without immediately breaking off.

I’ve been getting Shellac manicures since January. Mine tend to last 3 weeks instead of 2 and my nails have grown long and are very strong with Shellac on them.

Here’s my Shellac manicure at 3 weeks. And, yes, those are my real nails.

So schedule your appointment today. You can call us at (704) 882-0401 or fill out the appointment form on our website. Your nails will thank you.

Spring 2012 Hair Style Trends for Women | Matthews NC

Hair-Style-Trends-Matthews-NC

2012 New York Fashion Week showcased many new hair style trends for women in 2012. What do you think of these hair style trends? The best part is that these are easy to do at home. Ready to try one out? Email us for an appointment or call us direct at 704-882-0401.

Here are 2 great 2012 Hair Trends — easy to maintain and do at home, even after the salon trip!

1) Center Part Hair Trend
A throwback to the ’70s, the clean center part has been spotted all over runways  both last season and now. While this trend works best with clean straight hair  (for full effect), dry shampoo can help tame second-day hair for this look.

2) Side Part Hair Trend
Adding a bit of mystery by slightly covering one eye, the deep side part has a  razor-clean line and can be worn with pulled back, half-up, or  full down  hairstyles.

Hair Salon Matthews NCWhat hair trends do you think will be next in 2012?

Some say that BOLD COLOR is the next big thing, but what do you think?
Would you trade your hair color for a bold pink bob or what about some streaks of color, like stars Avril or Rihanna have done before?

Aveda Hair Products | Matthews NC

Aveda Matthews NC

At Diviniti, our stylists use only the finest Aveda products available. The plant-based, organic ingredients found in Aveda products not only indulge your body and spirit but also signify a commitment to protect our environment.

We all know that professional products are great for our hair — much better than any department store variety.  But why Choose Aveda Hair Products? Here are 3 great reasons why Diviniti offers Aveda Hair Products in Matthews NC right at their location.

1) Aveda Hair Products are Healthier

The Aveda product line takes a different approach to hair care than other professional hair care companies. With Aveda, hair care is approached with total health in mind. All of their products are formulated to rejuvenate and promote health while at the same time keep the environment healthy. Aveda accomplishes healthy hair products by using all natural, plant-derived ingredients in all of their products, even products with fragances are derived from flowers and plants.

2) Even Aveda Color Hair Products are Healthy
The trend of using natural products also extends into Aveda color services. In fact, it was Aveda who in 1992 found a natural plant called uruku. The powder from this plant is used to color hair without using any man-made chemicals. Today, a small village in South America grows this precious plant for Aveda.

3) You Can Feel Good About What You Are Buying and Using
When you use Aveda products, you subscribe to a company that believes that health and beauty go hand in hand. And Aveda’s dedication to keeping the environment pure means that you can be confident that you are not releasing any harmful chemicals into the environment when using their products.
