Five Beauty Tips To Bring Out Your Guy’s Robert Pattinson Side

Posted on: July 23rd, 2010 by Beauty Schools Directory 1 Comment

beauty-schools-directory-robert-pattinsonIf Rob Pattinson and Taylor Lautner are at one end of the hunk scale, there’s no reason why your guy has to be at the other end. Here are five beauty care tips just for men.

MANicure, not manicure
You know how a manicure makes you feel and look. The stars know it too. How can you convince your guy to get one? Emphasize the man in manicure. Try easing him into the idea with a couple’s massage. They are fun for you and him, plus will help get him into the salon.

Eyebrow waxing
Sway your guy to get an eyebrow waxing. Tell him it’s a lot like a bikini waxing. Say whatever after this. You had him at bikini.

Sunscreen everyday
Sun isn’t just harmful to vampires. The sun’s harmful rays damage all skin. Whether he works indoors or out, your guy should apply a daily facial sunscreen. Make it part of his daily habit. Cleverly position it next to his razor and shaving cream. It will become second nature much like his aftershave.

Trips to the Barber
Turn your guy into a leading man with regular trips to the barber. Maintaining his manly locks will allow him to look clean-cut on all occasions, or he can take a tip from Rob and go for the organized shaggy do.

Wardrobe Update
Hey, it’s all how you package it. Get your guy out of his man cave and into the store. Updating his look won’t give him six pack abs, but a new look will definitely move him up on the hunk scale.

Three Easy Alcohol Spa Treatments To Try At Home

Posted on: June 17th, 2010 by Beauty Schools Directory No Comments

beauty-school-directory-alcohol-spa-treatmetnsEver thought about mixing alcohol in a mani and pedi treatement? Many big city salons offer alcohol in their spa services as a way to actually exfoliate dead skin. We thought this could be a clever way to practice our knowledge learned in nail tech school with a little summer R&R. Digging to find the best ones out there, we’ve gathered three do it yourself treatments from health.com to try at home.

1. The Martini Manicure
How it works: The alcohol acts as an antiseptic, and the citrus from the lime contains alpha hydroxy acids to exfoliate dead skin.

Directions: Combine ½ cup sugar, ½ cup olive oil, 2 tablespoons of Bacardi Grand Melon or Bacardi Limón, 1/4 cup shredded coconut, and 2 tablespoons of mashed cantaloupe into a bowl. Mix well and apply to hands (or feet) and massage into skin 2 – 3 minutes before rinsing.

2. Margarita Salt Scrub
How it works: The salt acts as an exfoliator, and the alcohol in the tequila cleanses skin.

Directions: Combine 1 cup of fine sea salt, 2 ounces of olive oil, the juice of 1 lime, and ½ shot of white tequila in a cup or bowl until blended. Slather the mixture onto damp skin in gentle circular motions. (You can do this while taking a shower or bath). Let sit for a few minutes then rinse.

3. The Beer Pedicure
How it works: The yeast in the beer softens the bottoms of feet, and the alcohol is antibacterial and works as a natural antiseptic.

Directions: Fill a bowl or basin with enough warm water to cover your ankles. Add ½ bottle of your favorite beer, and stir. Keep your feet in the mixture for 10 –15 minutes, then cover with lotion.

Nail technicians use champaigne oil and grape peel scrub for pedicures.Pop the cork and celebrate your… feet! There’s a new ingredient fighting age spots and exfoliating your tootsies and you can only get it from France: Champagne! Some salons are offering champagne pedicures to help soothe your tired feet. Have you heard of this new beauty salon service?

How it works: your feet are soaked in a rose mineral bath and a nail technician massages champagne oil into your feet, and then applies a grape peel scrub. Champagne oil is high in antioxidants, and it helps activate the grape peel scrub, which makes the skin glow.

Some nail technicians claim that this pedicure is also good for diabetic clients because it supposed to stimulate circulation. This can also build the capillaries that diabetic patients lose.

Why settle for regular pedicures when you can have the champagne of pedicures – literally!

Have you experienced or has your salon offered this champagne pedicure service? Better yet, have you learned about this fancy new process in your nail technician training?
