14.07.2008

Recommendations of the beauty salon “Esthete Hall” specialists

Summer is the time when it is so easy to be beautiful: revealing clothes does not conceal figure, we can show gloss and beauty of the hair, sun rays fresh and golden the skin. You want to be stylish especially in summer!

What new fashion trends in hairstyles and make up are brought by summer-2008? We put this question to the specialists of “Esthete Hall” — one of the most successful beauty salons of Vladivostok city.

Olga Boiko is a hair-stylist of “Esthete Hall” salon, winner of the All-Russia hairdressing art contest “Golden Scissors”: The fashion world is very diverse and allow everybody to choose what suits him or her perfectly.

The latest collections of the famous hair-stylists allow distinguishing several fashion looks of this summer.

Romantic look: magnificent long hair, gloss streaming strands or carefully coiffured curls and waves. The hair color: natural colors and shades in all the variety. Soft highlighting will add light splashes and toning will add depth to the color. Pastel shades make-up and soigne light materials dresses will make romantic look complete.

Young girls will like mischievous look that came to podiums from the street fashion: destructive forms, hidden length, rigged outline, unsymmetrical fringes. Blondes’ hair color is silver-grey, brunettes’ one is chocolate brown and caramel.

Evening going-out look presupposes structured hairstyling of smooth strands or fluffy sculpted curls, carefully coiffured waves or straight long hair. Make-up: emphasis shall be made on lined eyes; the combination of emphasized eyes and fiery lips is possible.

Besides it can be said that natural hair colors are in fashion today: natural blond shades, red one.

Hair extension becomes more and more popular. Our salon can offer several technologies thereof, including “Marvelous curls” on special clips, that can be clipped in and out.

Hair can be decorated with Swarovski crystals — the bright shine thereof in the sun rays will make you a real star!

This summer trend in men’s fashion: realmanliness, strict haircut and neat look. Modern version of the “crew cut” (longer well coiffured hair) is popular. Youth men’s haircuts are a little unsymmetrical, sharp outlined, styling is a little careless.

2008 summer fashion make-up can be divided into two opposite looks.

“Bronze goddess”: is make-up, placing emphasis on a bright impressive tan. There are bronzing powder, metallic eye shadows, terra-cotta or fuchsia color lipstick used.

“Angel”— style make-up presupposes skin whiteness and tender pastel shades usage. Products with reflecting particles are good for special matt shine, light eye shadows of the very subtle nuances and transparent lip gloss for volume and sensual lips.

Main emphasis of this summer make-up shall be place on “Asian” type lined eyes that replaced smoky eyes effect. Eye lines can be black or caramel shades in color, in such case they can be made by liquid eye-shadows or soft pencils. Besides, summer is the time for colored mascara of turquoise or blue shades for instance.

Of course I would not recommend blindly copying looks from the pages of the fashion magazines. It is very important to find look that suits you. For example such an important feature of the image as hair color shall be matched taking into account the skin tone and eyes color — it is a subtle art, that can be hold only by a real professional. I am convinced that each person should take an opinion of a hair stylist, who can help to create your individual look. Summer is a perfect time for image changing!

Natalia Martin, manicure, nails design and nail extension technician of “Esthete Hall” salon:

Nail health is no doubt the most important thing. No matter what variant of nail appearance you choose it is important to apply materials not hurting nail plate. In our salon for instance we use products for nail extension of Japan Masura line. They are packed with vitamins, materials and other nail perfecting substitutes.

The main trend of this summer relating to the nail design is the red color returning. Cherry, Burgundy and other noble shades of red go well together with the medium length nails. Fuchsia color is also in fashion. Bright scarlet color nails will add provocative notes to the boring business lady image.

Nail oval shape and medium and short length are in fashion.

French manicure is still in fashion both in classic and colored with bright lacquers variants.

Painting and volume acrylic images are still in fashion in nail art this summer.

Choose what you like in modern nail design art and surprise others!

Valeriya Pogorelova, “Esthete Hall” cosmetologist:

Perfect skin is in fashion this summer as always.

Many people think that tanned face looks better because tan conceals small imperfections of the skin, but they forget that sunrays is one of the main reasons of ageing. It is better to improve skin by qualitative treatment. While skin nourishment is the main objective of treatment in winter, sun protection and moisturizing are the ones in summer.

Even those who have dark skin shall use UV protection SPF up to 25, white skinned people shall use UV protection SPF 25+.

In summer many people complaint of greasy skin and tend to dry it to get rid of a luster. In fact greasy skin can also be thirsty and that is why it can look bad. In this case we offer our clients total care, including cleaning, peeling and moisturizing procedures.

Of course you need individual cosmetologist’s consultation to pick beauty aids and procedures right.

Love yourselves, take care of yourselves and be beautiful!
