Please keep in mind that threading is a form of hair removal as well. It does not replace waxing. Threading is a form of hair removal that is excellent for the consumers who are sensitive to wax, and can not afford electrolysis . Threading is a ancient method of hair removal. You are require to treat the skin before and after threading. You will do the following steps :

1. Cleanse the skin

2. Thread using high grade thread, silk etc. (no dental floss, no cotton thread)

3. Calm the skin down with proper calming product(no witch hazel)

4. Sun protect (always)

Please allow time ever two weeks for maintain

Waxing: believe it or not people are still bruising folks and using the wrong wax for body parts. Let me tell you what to look for when you go to a salon or spa to receive wax treatments. First of all waxing is uncomfortable not painful. The following body parts require what wax:

Eyes- strip wax as well as hard wax(pellon is better for the skin not fabric)

Lip- hard wax

Face – hard wax

Ear, nose, chin- hard wax

Underarm, bikini, stomach – hard wax

Legs- strip (pellon is better for the skin)

8 main ingredients in preparing the skin before and after wax.

Why should you wax? To avoid discoloration

1. Exfoliate skin at least one a week most especially a day before waxing

2. Avoid any caffeinated drinks the day of waxing

3. Most sensitive areas apply numbing cream at least 30 min before waxing

4. Cleanse and sanitize area before waxing

5. Remove all residue of wax with oil ( avoid mineral oil )

6. Apply calming lotion

7. Apply product to reduce ingrown hairs if guest suffers from ingrown hairs.

8. To help with a better waxing experience you must wax ever 3-4 weeks until hairs are train and softer. (do not shave in between because it makes the hair course)

Getting your nails done is no longer just a extra service it is a totally fashion accessory. Nail Trends are right up there with hot shoes for the season. Nail manufactures are making products that will help the nail techs maintain the integrity of the nail bed. We have products in the nail industry for the fashionistas, the soccer mom's- but yet cutting edge, and lastly we have low to no maintenance artificial nail products. 

For your fashionistas we have MINX nails - which is a totally a high fashion nail accessory. It is an adhesive film that is apply and removed with heat. I call it the wall paper for nails. Even the most Conservative guest in your salon or spa can take a bite.(please view my minx you tube maisieminx). Another alternative we have for fashion forward nails is foiling. Foiling allows the technician to have artistic freedom with where she/he places the foil to create a free handed design. The nail artist can add up to six different patterns depending on the length of the nail. Nail Foil is applied with adhesive, once the adhesive becomes transparent the technician places the foil in his/her desire position, top coat and viola you all set!

For your cutting edge soccer moms- we have soak off gel polish. Gel polish is for moms who can not wait for their nails to dry, but yet want a fashion conscious color. Gel polish is for ladies who desire nice looking nails, no chip in the polish for at least 2 - 3 weeks. This is a product for someone who desire low to no maintenance of their nails. They do not want to come in to the salon or spa weekly for a manicure, however they desire a perfect 10. These nails must be cured with a UV lamp. The best part is that these nails can be soaked off with 100% acetone with out any damage to the nails. Conventional Gels can not be soak off.

My experience at the Orlando Trade Show

Traveling to Orlando was great leaving BWI ever thing was smooth. At the show I was able to reconnect with some of the hottest nails companies and I was able to educate some of my peers on building their Nail business as well as the Basic in makeup artistry.

The most important booth for me at the show was my booth Bluffajo Cosmetics. Last year we partner with Brazilian Keratin Manicure product, but this year we jump out there and did it by our selves . We featured our hottest lip glosses, effects, lipstick and bronzer in our line . I must say the hottest product for us at the show was the effects Liquid Gold, Vilu lip gloss, Coco bronzer, and Thrill seeker pigment. Well all you Bluffajos come and join the club and see what the hype is all about experience the best mineral makeup. Visit us at www.bluffajo .com or ring us today at 1866-585-4771.

Day One was set up for the show we did not have electricity when we got there, our table was not drip properly after 30 minutes of tracking some one down it was taken care.

Day Two the day of the show to 5,000 Beauty Professionals came to the most wonder trade show. The Floor open and they all rushed into the show . As I walk around the show I found some of my favorite manufactures like footlogix the leaders in medical pedicures. This product will transform the way you do pedicure and the home care prescription for your guest will allow your treatments to be extraordinary. My two favorite foot files that will get the job done for you Angel Feet foot File and Footlogix wooden file. Amazing……
As I pushed my way through the crowd I ran into my lovely friends at the CND Booth. I said ‘wow’ are you all giving products away free. It was jam packed no room on the carpet every nail professional wanted to take a bite out of shellac. Demos were being done, people were shopping, asking questions it was truly amazing to see of the attendance of nail professionals. Seriously, a decade ago you saw mostly hair professionals, now it is exciting to see all the nails professionals at the show as well as the LOAD of different products. This was a prime example of BRAND loyalty. Speaking of soak of gels and gels polishes there were over a dozen of them at the show and all of the booth had nail professionals investing in products to take home to introduce to their clients.

Day Three: I continue my such to find some of my other friends. I stroll down to Minx Nails and they two have taken their product to the next level in many ways. One- they are doing custom minx allowing nail professionals to give them a design and they create that for you, as well as minx layering, putting one minx on top of the other and creating a special effect on the minx-wow that is awesome.
Next stop Entity Beauty they too was featuring their magnificent couture gel polish, I decided to get one nail
done and when I say it is shinny like glass, it is like glass.. I will see how long it last, stay tune!

I continue my travels to Lumos bottom and top coat only product by Jim and Lyndia Nordstrom the famous Nordstrom Family for the beauty industry. What a awesome product.
As I walk the floor I made several pit stops at Nails Magazine, Nail Pro, Lunch Pad, Essie Products, Opi, and many more.
