Previews…Previews…Previews…

Another week of  fun weddings and previews. As I have mentioned in past posts regarding previews, I believe it is the most difficult part of the bridal beauty. Choosing how you want your bridal hairstyle, wedding make-up….natural, smoky…..Most of us have the ability to carry off many different styles and looks, although this is your day and you must decide….but we can sure help.

Our motto is “if you just half way “love it” on the preview, you will love it love it on the wedding day”. Why is this? The preview you typically are wearing casual clothes. On the wedding, when you put the dress, hair jewelry, and jewelry on…..it all pulls together and is just perfect.

Design Visage is proud to help all these brides look beautiful on their weddings…..of course wedding photos to come!

So if you are one of Design Visage’s brides, you will get the opportunity to try all the bridal hair accessories at your hair and make-up preview. But don’t fret…..if we do not have the pleasure of making you beautiful on your wedding day, call make an appointment and you can come in a try all the fun accessories as well.

Previews…Previews…Previews

Another day of previews. So many people tell us we have the best job in the world. And in many ways I do agree. We get to help a girl/woman choose how she will wear her hair, what color best accents her lips, and what shadows will bring out the best feature we have, our eyes. How can we accent our features without looking over done, how to look classic and natural and glamorous all at the same time. Previews are the most challenging of our job, but what a privilege to be chosen for such an important occasion.

Let’s look at some of Design Visage’s fantastic brides 09. The first photo here is make-up only.

So many different bridal make-up and hair choices. We thank all our brides for choosing Design Visage and Bridalmode accessories for their bridal beauty.

One thing all these brides have in common….they all look very natural, and when they have the wedding dress on….the look will be even more subtle. That’s the plan…you but better!!!

What you do, the way you think, makes you beautiful.

Design Visage and Alterna

A few months ago Design Visage and Hair care company Alterna teamed up for a outstanding hair event. Hair Affair..  We rewarded each customer with a treatment masque and some quick easy styling tips that will take you from “office to evening” in no time. There were complimentary treatments that took all our loyal DV clients to Extraordinary.

Fun was had by all…..and everyone left with terrific hair.

 

          

 

Alterna has been a great inspiration for Design Visage always sending their master educators. We as a company are committed to consistent education for our professional and personal lives. 

Insist on yourself. Never imitate.

Hair Hair Everywhere..Body Waxing 101

Today lets talk a bit about hair….no not bridal hair, but body hair. Yes the fashion is to be a hairless chihuahua. If this congers up the memory of the chest wax in the 40 year old virgin, set your mind at ease…there are alternatives.

 

 

One of the alternatives to extreme pain it…NO SCREAM CREAM…yes it works. Invented by a woman who worked for a dentist. She was bright enough to think of a topical numbing product. Good ideas are all around us, find a need a fill it. So although I will admit it is not a miracle cream, it certainly makes an unpleasant sensation very tolerable. Now I know many of you brides are very body hair savvy and probable know more than me. Today is for the average joe, which is the most of us. And lets face it most of you are afraid to ask anyway. So lets jump in and discuss the jargon. It will vary from salon to salon

Bikini wax= the sides of the legs into the crotch area and top of the stomach if needed.

Brazilian= a landing strip

Honeymooner= all gone

Do not forgo this important service prior to the wedding, just grab your NO SCREAM CREAM and make your choice.

Ok that’s done, we can discuss the rest of the body….

Underarms….just do it..that’s all I can say. Let it grow about a 1/4 inch and come on in. You will not believe how fantastic it is to have baby soft underarms and not have to shave for a while…..each one of us will last a different amount of time. But here is the great thing ladies, when it starts to regrow….NO STUBBLE….just soft, a honeymoon must.

Eyebrows: This is sooooo important to your wedding day make-up. Eyeshadow does not look good on top of fuzz. Start the shaping process asap. And most importantly DO NOT.. I REPEAT DO NOT wax your brow the day of your wedding, or even the day before. You just never know when you will puff up and get red. And one thing many are not aware of, when you wax the brow area, it strips the top layer of your skin. Eyeshadow will not adhere to it. Your body needs a day to recover the skin.

Arms: If you have dark hair or lots of light hair…..get rid of it. If you choose to do it only for the wedding and honeymoon, no problem, just let it grow. And as in the underarms…it will grow in very soft.

Legs: Personal opinion….not worth it. Hurts like %%%%, and due to the fact that your hair growth has 3 cycles, the day after the pain you could feel stubble. The legs are a commitment. You come every 3 weeks and after time, different for all, the hair will diminish and will grow in softer. It really works, although not if it is just for the wedding/honeymoon….steal his razor for the closet shave.

Feet: do I even have to advise you on this…..wax it off

We will not go into every little crevice of the body, but it can be done. Come see our wax specialist for a complimentary consult.

You have just graduated from waxing 101…..
