3 hair trends that are all the rave
- What’s hot for hair color? Low Contrast roots. These strategically placed highlights mimic where the sun would naturally hit topped with a root tap applied at the base. The root tap is 2-3 shades darker than the highlights creating the illusion of a more lived-in look. Low maintenance commitment is generally every 4-6 months.
- "Babylights" are great for blonde-loving clients. Very thin highlights and slices are used to achieve this blended look. Unlike traditional highlights, application is a very in-depth and detailed foiling process that allows a closer-to-the-root seamless blonde. Complete the look with a global gloss.
- Grey coverage blending covers stubborn grey hairs. Add a few face-framing highlights where the sun hits so grey grow-outs are softened and prolonged. Maintenance is every 4-7 weeks.

3 drips to elevate your health from within
- NAD+ is a coenzyme found in every living cell and is essential for energy production, healthy mitochondrial function, and DNA repair. NAD+ plays a crucial role in maintaining mitochondrial health, but its levels decrease as we age. It reaps potential benefits like improved memory and focus, enhanced mood regulation, and neuroprotective effects. Ideal for ages 35+, NAD+ therapies are delivered intravenously with a duration of 1.5 hours or more.
- Vitamin therapy, provided by IV (intravenous) or IM (intramuscular) shot, address the breakdown of cellular health. The energizing therapy helps improve immunity, and if done via IV, it typically takes 30-45 minutes to fully absorb into the body. IM shots are a quick alternative, only taking a few minutes.
- Fat loss injections are helpful for enhancing weight loss efforts in addition to lifestyle changes. With these weekly injections, results are nearly immediate and help regulate blood sugar levels by enhancing insulin secretion and suppressing appetite. Available for ages 18+, it takes 5-10 minutes each week.

3 full body procedures perfect for recovery over holiday breaks
- Facial rejuvenation is an outpatient procedure that includes a facelift, neck lift, and upper and lower blepharoplasty (like an eyelid surgery). Facelifts remove sagging skin, heavy jowls, and deep wrinkles. Neck lifts correct the “turkey neck” or “double chin deformity” resulting in a tighter contoured jawline. Blepharoplasty surgery omits droopy upper eyelids and baggy discolored lower eyelids.
- Mommy makeovers combine a breast procedure with a tummy tuck to restore a woman’s body. Breast procedures can include an augmentation with implants, a lift, reduction, or a combination of a lift with implants. Tummy tucks remove excess skin and fat from the abdomen, repositioning separated rectus muscles, and fixes any hernias. Women who experience excess bloating and/or is unable to lose abdominal weight likely have a muscle separation that can only be fixed with surgery, making them excellent candidates.
- A rhinoplasty (nose job) is a procedure that reshapes the nose and septum to improve appearance and breathing. Size, shape, proportions, and structural problems of the nose that cause difficulty breathing can all be corrected. Swelling can last several weeks, and final results may not be visible for several months.
