Quick Tip: From a Marie Claire Insider!

Q: Can I make my hair grow faster?

A: Realistically, no. But here are some hair-helper tips that certainly can help your hair grow faster. Give yourself at-home scalp massages, says L.A. stylist Philip B. They stimulate the blood flow to your scalp, which helps nutrients get to your hair follicles more quickly. While washing your hair, massage the scalp with your fingertips, starting at the back of the neck and moving around the hairline.

UCLA dermatologist Harold Lancer also suggests taking an over-the-counter vitamin every day that contains antioxidant blends and vitamin B derivatives to help increase hair strength. Dr. Lancer recommends the brand Marlan, available at most major drug stores.

Leave it to the Pros!

In this economy, beauty lovers everywhere are looking for ways to save big by doing their beauty treatments at home. There are occasions, though, when the extra buck can save you ample time and make you look fabulous without all the at-home fuss.

Have an expert shape your brows

Let a pro do the waxing and tweezing every 8 to 12 weeks.  This will save you time plucking on your own, and will keep you looking polished.

Get a Shellac manicure

Nails are painted with colored Shellac polish and then placed under a UV light for two minutes. This high-tech mani lasts up to two weeks! Salon01 has a great selection of Shellac colors for you to choose from!

Opt for a keratin hair treatment

Beauty insiders swear by this hair-smoothing technology. The process takes one – two hours, but results last up to four months.

Save Time and Look Great

In the Morning

Skin Instead of attempting to pack your entire skin-care routine into the A.M., try applying anti-aging products at night.  Apply your sunscreen during the day, skipping the other steps will save time.

Makeup Instead of carefully layering on foundation, concealer and powder, try putting on primer as fast as you would a cream, then add coverage lightly.

Hair Instead of straightening hair to be super sleek with a blow-dryer and brush, try working to enhance, not tame, your hair’s natural wave or curl.

Post Workout

Skin Instead of scrubbing your face clean for possibly the third time in a day, try simply rinsing with warm water, then applying an oil-free face cream.

Makeup Instead of piling on tons of foundation to hide a fire-engine-red complexion, try cooling and soothing skin with an antioxidant-rich facial spray first.

Hair Instead of hitting the shower to shampoo and restyle hair from scratch, try blasting sweat with the blow-dryer, then going with a bit more body.

Before A Party

Skin Instead of washing off a full face of makeup because you feel grimy, try wiping off spotty foundation and blush; refresh where needed.

Makeup Instead of mixing three kinds of shadow plus liner for a sexy, smoky eye, try finger painting one sparkly metallic shadow all over lids.

Hair Instead of playing the equivalent of hair Twister to create a sleek updo, try pulling unwashed hair into a sexy, low bun that you can’t do wrong.

Best Beauty: A Guide to Etiquette

Bikini Wax Basics

You asked, we answered! We get countless questions about waxing, from what to wear to how bare to go “down there”.

When it comes to waxing be sure to explain your expectations when you schedule your appointment. If you’re looking to go completely bare schedule a Brazilian. For modest grooming book a basic wax. Identifying what you are looking for will allow the aesthetician enough time for the appointment.

Prior to your waxing appointment be sure not to trim. For the best results (and a less painful experience) your hair must be one-quarter-inch long. We recommend forgoing shaving at least three weeks before your appointment.

What should I wear? Depending on your comfort level you can choose to wear a disposable bottom or go without. Removing unnecessary clothing will make the process much quicker.

Still not sure about your next waxing appointment? Schedule a consultation with one of our trained Salon01 aestheticians to ensure a professional, comfortable appointment. We can answer any and all of your questions!

Foods To Refuel and Recover

After all those parties and holiday feasts we could all use a little cleansing. Boost your energy, refuel, and recover with a few simple snack and meal ideas that will treat your body right.

Smoothie

Grab a ripe banana, ½ cup low-fat yogurt, ½ cup low-fat milk, and an organic chocolate protein powder.  Blend with ¼ cup of ice cubes in a blender until smooth. The combination of protein, carbohydrates, potassium and magnesium from the banana make for the ideal combination to promote healthy muscle function. This is perfect as a post workout snack as well as a simple morning or afternoon meal to recharge your energy.

Grilled Turkey Sandwich

Between two slices of whole-grain bread place two slices of all-natural turkey breast and low-fat provolone cheese. Top with your favorite veggies and heat on a grill pan until warm. Again, the combination of carbohydrate and protein will keep you satisfied while the fiber in the whole grains promotes healthy digestion.

Plant-Based Protein

Beans are an incredible source of protein and carbohydrates. Add them and some fresh veggies to leftover rice, a quick-cooking quinoa or whole-grain bulgur and a low-fat cheese for an easy lunch.

Yogurt and Fruit

Yogurt provides your body with protein while fruit is a good plant-based source of carbohydrates. The phytochemicals and vitamins will pack powerful nutrients to nourish your body while offering a boost of energy. This combination is perfect an hour or two before your busy day begins.

Hummus and Veggies

Combine on a whole-wheat pita and enjoy the successful combination of protein and healthy fat. The beans and tahini provide fiber, iron, and B-vitamins, including folate. Make the hummus yourself with organic ingredients to really maximize the benefits.
