 It’s not just for kids and it’s not all about senseless dance moves. We can all learn a few things on TikTok, including some new hair and makeup tips. Who knew?! We compiled a list of some tutorials worth trying.
10-second contour According to the video, all you need is a stick bronzer and your foundation. You simply contour over the lips, under the cheekbones and chin, and on the forehead. Then you add your foundation on the rest of the face and blend in. See for yourself on TikTok here. DIY BB Cream Creators are mixing creams they already own to create a custom shade of BB cream (beauty balm) which is meant to be a lightweight base. For this DIY to work, you have to make sure your foundation and primer have the same base ingredients otherwise the product will roll right off your face. Easy high ponytail for long hair If you’re looking for a voluminous and easy hairstyle, this is for you. It’s done by twisting the hair tie around the bottom part of the ponytail twice. First you make a regular high ponytail, but on the last twist, grab half of your hair and pull it through. Then tie it in the back and front. If these TikTok beauty tutorials won’t cut it, remember that we offer full hair and makeup services in our Glaminator Beauty Bar.

 Did you know September is National Skin Care Awareness Month? While we all have different issues (adult acne, dry skin, rosacea, etc.) there are a few tips most of us can follow for a healthy daily skincare regimen. Hint: It all starts and ends with cleansing.
Daily cleansing Cleanse your face twice a day— gently. Cleansing when you wake up and before you go to bed helps remove oil and dirt that can irritate your skin. Choose a mild, soap-free cleanser to avoid irritation. Be sure to pat dry with a clean cotton towel. Moisturizing and sun protection Moisturizing is key for healthy skin. The best time to moisturize is after a shower and you have pat dried your skin. Consider using a moisturizer with built-in sun protection/SPF 30 or higher year round. And now that we’re officially approaching fall, it’s time to say goodbye to the lightweight, oil-free moisturizer and switch to a heavier cream. Staying away from irritants If you have sensitive skin or suffer from rosacea, avoid anything that contains alcohol, camphor, fragrance, glycolic acid, lactic acid, menthol, sodium laurel sulfate and urea. Consider finding products or makeup that doesn’t irritate your skin. You might need to make an appointment with a dermatologist to discuss your specific needs. If you’re getting your makeup done at Glaminiator Beauty Bar for a special occasion and have questions about the products we use with our services, give us a call.

Fall has arrived. And with the cooler weather comes a drop in humidity, which makes for dry skin. To help you prepare for the new season, we compiled some tips on how to transition your skincare routine from summer to fall.
Switch to a thicker moisturizer Adding an extra layer of hydration to your routine is a great way to prevent skin dehydration. Now is the time to say goodbye to the lightweight moisturizer and switch to a heavier cream. When the skin lacks hydration, you get dryness and irritation - and sometimes eczema. If you’re worried about a product reaction or breaking out, we recommend patch-testing for a few days. But if you avoid the ingredients you’re sensitive to, you might be able to find a heavier cream your skin can tolerate. Avoid hot showers Hot showers damage the skin barrier. Instead, take tepid showers and apply moisturizer on damp skin afterward. This will help seal and replenish the moisture your skin needs. Try gentle exfoliation A non-abrasive gentle exfoliator can be key to getting rid of dead dry winter skin. If overdone, it can cause more hydration loss and inflammation, so try to go easy on the acids and retinols. Our Sugar Scrub formula, made of raw cane sugar, emu oil, and coconut oil, will gently exfoliate and rejuvenate your skin. It’s a lightweight and whipped scrub that penetrates deeply to leave your skin smooth, hydrated and clean, and its subtle hint of therapeutic lavender essential oil will absolutely seduce your senses.

Those are classic autumn hues that will never go out of style, but we have our eyes on a few new trends this fall.
Electric eyes The timeless smokey eye isn’t going anywhere, but neons aren’t either. Expect to see shades of fuschia and electric blue on eyelids this season. Sounds a bit much? It might actually be a fun way to add a pop of color to our fall wardrobe which often consists of browns and black. Black eyeliner The 90s are back and if a winged eyeliner isn’t for you, consider a grungy— yet sophisticated look. Smudge a black pencil eyeliner formula on your top and bottom lines, and finish off the look with neutral lipstick and subtle contouring. Soap brows The brushed-up brow look is here to stay (for now anyway). If you want to perfect this brow trend, consider setting up a lamination appointment for a lasting effect. Brow lamination is basically a perm for your brows as it gives them a set, uniform shape for an extended period of time. Instead of curls, a setting lotion helps brow hair stay brushed up and lifted upward for about six weeks. If you found this helpful then let me know in the comments section below.

From Zendaya to Kourtney Kardashian and of course Lily Collins, they’re all known for rocking bushy and shiny brows. There are several ways to accomplish this trend including the popular lamination - which we offer at our Glamination Beauty Bar. One question we get often from our clients is, what exactly is brow lamination? Well, let us break it down for you.
Brow lamination is basically a perm for your brows as it gives them a set, uniform shape for an extended period of time. Instead of curls, a setting lotion helps brow hair stay brushed up and lifted upward for about six weeks. The actual process starts off by painting a lifting cream onto the brow, which creates a chemical process that breaks down bonds in each hair, allowing them to be moved into a new shape. Next, the brow hairs are brushed up into place and a neutralizer is applied to reform the bonds into their new shape. Then a nourishing oil is added to the brows to replenish their moisture after the chemical treatment process. From there, the brows may be tweezed, waxed, or tinted, depending on the look you're going for. You can expect your laminated brows to last up to 6 weeks. If you’re not quite ready for lamination, perhaps consider Brow Henna. It’s a service that acts like a blanket over the hair and provides a coating to the hair shaft, coating the top layers of the hair cuticle only- giving the appearance of a thicker, softer and smoother hair and eyebrow. Containing hydrolyzed proteins, vitamin complex and antioxidants, Brow Henna helps to strengthen and restore hair growth and improves the natural condition of the eyebrow hair – it’s perfect for people who have over plucked eyebrows or are still recovering from a bad waxing experience. We love that it’s vegan and cruelty free, and it stays on the hair up to 6 weeks, and up to 14 days on the skin. Have any questions or hesitations about the process? Give us a call! We’re more than happy to walk you through it. Check out our Instagram feed too for some major inspo!  According to our social media feed, it looks like everyone we know is getting married or is attending a wedding right now! And that’s because the wedding season is officially here. Whether you’re the bride or bridesmaid this summer, our bridal salon has you covered with the top notch wedding makeup and hair you’ll need for those IG pics and TikTok videos.
Perhaps after a year in quarantine due to the pandemic, many brides are opting out of traditional bridal glam. Some of the trends we’re noticing this summer include shimmery eyes and nude lips and lots of soft pink tones! However, bold lips are also in style. When it comes to hair, we’re seeing textured, loose styles as well as some glamorous party ponytails. If you have a wedding coming up now or in the fall, here’s a quick glance at some of our makeup and hair offerings.
 It’s finally starting to feel like summer! We can’t wait to wear maxi dresses and straw hats, but not looking forward to the infamous tri-state heatwaves (nobody wants their makeup running during brunch). To sweatproof your summer look, we compiled a list of how to keep your makeup intact:
Opt for a tinted moisturizer For your everyday look, say goodbye to full coverage foundation. Instead, visit your favorite department store (or drugstore!) to find an oil-free lightweight tinted moisturizer. It’s practically a facial moisturizer that also has a slight tint with makeup pigments. The right one can provide light coverage while also hydrating your skin and leaving a glowing finish. Apply moisturizer Whether it’s a liquid or powder foundation, applying primer immediately after your moisturizer can help keep your makeup from sliding off with your sweat. Depending on your preference, some primers will keep you matte, and others will give you that healthy, shimmery glow. Primers are applied after moisturizers. However, if you’re only wearing a tinted moisturizer, you might want to apply the primer first as the tint provides light coverage. Get a lash lift Leave the mascara in your makeup bag this summer and enhance your natural lashes. Our Glaminator Lash Lifting services make your eyes appear like you have extensions. No adhesives or additional extensions are required. The treatment lifts, curls, and defines your natural lashes to make them look longer and fuller. For optimal safety, cream based solutions keep your eyes and their lashes healthy. At the end, lashes are tinted to complete the look. Results are expected to last 6-8 weeks. If you prefer lash extensions, we offer that too! Go for a powder foundation Although it might not give you full coverage, powder foundation is perfect in the summer because it helps combat the excess oils from the hot and humid days. They’re also perfect for touching up on the go. Powder foundations are your best friend for touching up on the go. Don’t forget the SPF (now in powder form too!) High-performing SPF powders offer additional sun protection, absorb excess oil, and even out your complexion without feeling heavy. They’re perfect for those of us who choose to wear makeup in the summer but don’t want the greasy feeling of a lotion. Remove excess oil Before you touch up your makeup with a powder, try removing excess oil with a blotting paper. They’re made with extremely absorbent material that can remove any liquid, and are perfect for removing sweat and oil from your skin. Set your makeup with a spray For a smudge-free, melt-free look, a setting spray might be your best choice. It’s a mist you spray all over your face (about 6-8 inches away) after makeup. In the summer months, we recommend setting sprays with mattifying qualities as they have ingredients that are better at preventing your makeup from smudging. But if you prefer a dewy look, opt for a lightweight spray to prolong your makeup, and look for products that include hydrating ingredients like green tea, vitamin B, aloe vera, or vitamin E. Visit our Glaminator Beauty Bar for one-on-one makeup lessons, airbrush makeup application, bridal makeup, lashes, and so much more!  Warm weather has finally arrived and while many of us are opting for fuller brows these days, everything else is coming off! Before you take on that smoothly waxed summer, there are a couple of things you should know. Check out our list of do’s and don’ts to help prep your skin for the best waxing results.
Exfoliate 3-5 days before your appointment, not sooner You’ll find mixed suggestions about when to exfoliate before a wax appointment. To avoid irritation, we do not recommend exfoliating 24 - 48 hours prior to waxing. Inform esthetician/wax specialist about current medication Some medications can cause thinning of the skin, and that can lead to lifting and sensitivity during waxing. When booking your appointment, let your specialist know if you’re taking any of the following: acne and anti-aging medication such as Retin-A, accutane, differin, oral and topical antibiotics, retinol, salicylic acids or other acne medications or exfoliants. Research the salon For obvious reasons, you want to make sure the salon you choose is clean and safe. Estheticians should always wear a fresh pair of new gloves and replace the table covering between each client. To keep our Glaminator clients and staff safe, we focus on every small detail in our waxing techniques. Know the difference between a bikini and brazilian wax A bikini wax is exactly what it sounds like: hair removal along the top and the sides of the bikini line. A Brazilian bikini leaves your entire area bare and that includes top, sides, front and hard to reach areas in the back. Visit our website to see all the waxing services we offer. Book brow appointment a day or two before special event As much as you want fresh brows before taking photos at your next function, we highly recommend waxing your brows at least one day before your event. This allows potential redness, inflammation or irritation to go away on its own. At Glaminator, we work with you to determine which brow shape works best for your face shape and personal style. Many of our clients are now also requesting to enhance their natural eyebrows with our Brow Lamination process. Lamination will smooth out unruly brows, while shaping them in place to appear fuller and shinier. It’s basically a perm for your brows, as it gives them a set, uniform shape for an extended period of time. Instead of curls, a setting lotion helps brow hair stay brushed up and lifted upward for about six weeks. Don’t break wax routine For best results, don’t shave in between your waxing appointments as it can cause ingrown hair and irritation. We also recommend a routine where you come in every 3-4 weeks. Avoid sunbathing/sun tanning To prevent sunburn, we ask our clients not to tan 1-2 days before and after their waxing appointment. Waxing removes the top layer of the dead-surface skin cells - just like exfoliating and can lead to visible burns. Allow 1-2 days after waxing to ensure any irritation or redness is gone before laying out in the sun. If you found this helpful then let me know in the comments section below.

We’ve put together a short list of reasons you should!
We’re quick Our standard is to be mindful of your time, so we aim to complete your service in around 15 minutes or less. Services that cover larger areas (like your back or legs) take a little longer—but still it would be less time than if you shaved or attempted a DIY solution at home. It’s better for your skin Our signature wax is made with the highest-quality beeswax and other safe ingredients designed to calm and nurture your skin. When we apply our wax, it has a sensation that can be described as the temperature of warm bath water, and it's made to adhere to hair—never your skin! In addition, unlike shaving, you never have to worry about nicks or scrapes on your skin. Longer-lasting results Without a doubt, shaving leaves hair behind. You might not see it the first day, but it’s there, just underneath your skin, waiting to sprout up and ruin your smooth new feel at any moment. Waxing removes hair at the root, so you won’t have that rough stubble feeling. With the whole hair removed, you’ll stay smoother longer. Bumps & ingrown hairs are yesterday’s news The expertise of our Wax Glaminators combined with our exclusive signature wax means the times of bracing for bumps, blemishes and ingrown hairs are way behind you. For good measure, we have a collection of local sourced, organic skincare products that were created specifically to complement our wax services by helping combat some of the common side effects of hair removal.

Despite being cooped up at home for the better half of the year, brides have been test driving classic and contemporary styles, whether it was for a social outing earlier in 2020 or letting their hair down at home for fun. As weddings have gotten more intimate, there’s no denying its versatility either. From aisle-worthy updos to bridal braids, from fuss-free ponytails to well-placed accent, here are elegant and easy-to-recreate options for brides and guests.  The bun, be it updo or chignon, retains its status and sway as a bridal classic. Let’s count the reasons why it looks flawless: The hairstyle is bound to work no matter your hair texture or type. You simply need to loosen or tighten the bun to change its appeal. Buns are perfect to show off a backless blouse teamed with your lehenga or sari, and in contrast, highlight your jewellery and makeup when wearing a high neckline.  Call it the undisputed champion of wedding celebrations if you will, but braids are easy-to-put-together and easier-to-manage. Straight, wavy, curly, natural—they work with every hair texture and for every occasion. You can give conventional weaving a pick-me-up with a fishtail plait, lace a classic bun with an intricate braid or go bohemian by wearing the braid as a headband.  Sometimes, it’s best to keep it simple. And if you’d rather take the ‘less is more’ approach with your wedding-friendly hairstyle, a ponytail will be your saving grace. Ponytails may have been you go-tos for lazy days, but when styled right, they will be anything but boring. Bump it up a by teasing the crown or the bottom strands for some enviable volume.
