Look Radiant This Fall with a HydraFacial

Thursday, September 2nd, 2010

The weather is changing, which means you’ll have fluctuations in the temperature and moisture levels in your home, and exposure to pollen, mold and pollution as you participate in the season’s outdoor activities. Even your skin care routine needs updating with the change of seasons to keep your complexion looking and feeling its best.

The answer to looking great through this season’s change is a HYDRAFACIAL  at Head to Toe by Arlene.

HydraFacial is a process that moisturizes and hydrates your skin while it resurfaces, leaving your skin looking fresh, vibrant and youthful, and feeling wonderfully smooth! “I had one and I totally can’t live without it,” says Head to Toe by Arlene client Kathy C.

Take the Stress Out of Looking FABULOUS

Thursday, August 5th, 2010

We all want to look our best, but sometimes the time involved makes us want to throw our hands up in disgust.

Several new – or simply improved or repurposed - products can help us look our absolute best with less time, hassle and stress than doing the same-old, same-old.

Hectic mornings are tough enough without having to fight with the mascara wand. And if you blink or sneeze, you’ll be starting all over again (or spending the day with raccoon eyes). Fake eyelashes have their place, but what about a solution you can sleep, shower or swim in and still be batting long, perfect eyelashes? Look no farther than Head to Toe by Arlene, where Robin Fujimoto provides individual lash extensions that feel like your own lashes.

Dazzling lashes should complement your perfect skin, and exposure to summer sun and other factors that create pigment irregularities send women running to the latest bleaching procedure. While products that lighten age spots have been on the market for years, harsh chemicals, peel procedures and similar treatments can leave your skin feeling raw and your wallet feeling empty.  Head to Toe by Arlene recommends gold – the new standard in skin lightening treatment.  A 14-carat gold collagen mask treatment lifts or lightens the pigment and  leaves skin feeling wonderful and visibly improved, making you look younger and more vibrant.

For an even more youthful glow, reverse the clock by adding collagen to your skin care regimen. Clayton Shagal’s line of products utilize only the purest form of collagen that can be commercially produced. Rather than injecting it into the skin through invasive procedures or introducing it to just the top layer of skin where it doesn’t provide the treatment necessary to correct damage, the Clayton Shagal products introduce collagen through the deepest layers of the skin, to provide a noticeable diminishing in lines and wrinkles, scars and stretchmarks, and to visibly tighten skin after the first application. Clayton Shagal’s amazing products – including Collagen Elastin and Hyprocel Gel - are available at Head to Toe by Arlene.

The Fountain of Youth is in Marietta – with long, lustrous lashes and plump, perfect skin – and it’s as simple as visiting Head to Toe by Arlene. Call today and start looking younger tomorrow!

Red, White & Blue of Summer Skin

Tuesday, June 15th, 2010

With the 4th of July just around the corner, we’ve all got Red, White & Blue on the brain, preparing for our favorite summer holiday.

While Red, White & Blue are fantastic for fireworks, flags and even foods (depending on which ones!), these colors are particularly problematic when it comes to skin care.

Red can mean anything from sunburn to rashes, bug bites or rosacea, and the key to controlling each of these is limiting exposure to the things that cause them. Sunburn is easily controlled by limiting peak-hour exposure to the sun, wearing appropriate clothing and applying sunscreen.

“I recommend B. Kamins unscented sunscreen 30,” says Arlene Manning of Head to Toe by Arlene. “Unscented is very important for preventing rosacea irritation.” It also helps avoid the possibility of allergic reactions and rashes, and attraction of bugs that can sting.

Clarisonic Skin Brush also has been shown safe and gentle enough for people with rosacea in cleaning the skin and alleviating redness. B. Kamins also carries a non-prescription medicated cover that helps to eliminate the appearance of rosacea.

Hypopigmentation is a loss of pigment in areas of the skin, often caused by skin infections, blisters, burns or other trauma to your skin, causing areas of the skin to appear white. Exposure to the sun can cause this condition as well.

“Image has a tinted sunscreen moisturizer that is organic that can be worn over the affected areas while the body regenerates the pigment,” Arlene says.

 Blue tones down red. There are camouflage products with blue to reduce the appearance of redness, Arlene says. Makeup by Arlene has a blue-toned camouflage product that can help when you’ve experienced too much sun or have a rosacea flare-up.

So enjoy the holiday without fear of wearing the patriotic colors too close to home on your skin, by following these simple tips, guidelines and product recommendations from Head to Toe by Arlene.

Treat yourself to a relaxing spa treatment, bikini wax or rosacea facial and enjoy your summer to the utmost. Call 770-973-7270 today  for an appointment.

Spa-Time with Girlfriends

Monday, May 24th, 2010

With the release of the new Sex and the City movie, the power of girlfriend ties is once again the topic of water cooler conversation.

What the general population doesn’t realize is that it doesn’t take a movie release to remind us how important our relationships are with our best girlfriends. We can have a great relationship with our spouse, our kids, our neighbors and co-workers, but the most nurturing relationships of all are those with the women who understand us best.

And yes, girls’ getaways are a fabulous way to catch up with one another, but with summer vacation, kids at home, family trips planned and the like, an afternoon or evening planned with your girlfriends can be both fun and restorative.

Don’t go to a noisy club to catch up. Doesn’t a poolside pampering party sound heavenly? No pool toys or noisy distractions here, though. Plan your relaxing afternoon or evening at a backyard oasis with wine, massage and other relaxing spa services at Head to Toe by Arlene.

Escape from everyday stress with a soothing poolside massage. Indulge in a facial that will leave you simply glowing. Or treat yourself to manicure or pedicure that will leave you looking and feeling fabulous from your fingers to the tips of your toes!

“Every time I close the door on reality, it comes in through the windows!” -Jennifer Unlimited

When you’re poolside, there are no doors or windows! Call today to book your spa retreat for June and July! 770-973-7270 or www.headtotoebyarlene.com.

College-Bound with Great Skin

Monday, May 10th, 2010

Graduation is upon us and it’s likely that parents are unable to believe how their little angels have suddenly blossomed into full-grown, college-bound young women.

Their flip-flop-wearing, ponytail-sporting daughters will soon be gracing college campuses around the country, and will need the glowing skin that speaks “college-age adult” instead of “high-school teen.”

The habits that start in college are likely to stay with them their entire lives, so it’s best to instill great grooming habits now – waxing, facials, spa treatments and hair removal, along with the products that they can take with them back to school.

The Clarisonic Mia is a perfect gift for daughters, granddaughters – any young lady who is getting ready to start the next phase of her life in a confident, glowing way.

Call Arlene today to book an appointment to get your daughter started looking fabulous, and to purchase your Clarisonic Mia that makes a great wrapped gift – 770-973-7270.

Head to Toe by Arlene – the best gift you can give your grad this spring!

Sage Advice from Arlene This Mother’s Day

Monday, April 26th, 2010

Apart from showering their offspring with love and affection, mothers around the world dispense the advice that both helps their children grow into responsible adults and often makes us laugh!

How often have you heard these sage words from your own mother?

“Don’t make that face or it will stay that way!”

“Make sure you wear clean underwear; you never know who will see it if you’re in an accident!”

“If everyone else jumped off the Brooklyn Bridge, would you do it too?”

Sage advice also applies to choosing your Mother’s Day gift.

Mother’s Day is Sunday, May 9th, so be sure to remember Mom with a gift that illustrates how much you care and how much of her advice you’ve taken to heart.

She’ll be happy that her face will “stay that way” with a rejuvenating, relaxing facial at Head to Toe by Arlene that will leave Mom simply glowing!

With swimsuit season upon us, it’s not so much the clean underwear that’s important, but ensuring that the bikini line is smooth and clean with an expert hair removal treatment at Head to Toe by Arlene.

If everyone else is giving flowers and chocolate, be an original with a gift certificate for Mom for a day of pampering at your favorite spa: Head to Toe by Arlene.

The ABCs of Waxing

Tuesday, March 30th, 2010

Avoid the irritation of shaving.  When you use a razor, it cuts hairs off at the surface of the skin, leaving the hair follicles the opportunity to begin growing immediately. This creates little bumps and redness that are not only unattractive but irritating to the skin.

Brazilian bikinis. The Brazilian bikini has become extremely popular in the last 10 years with appearances in “Sex In the City” and other pop culture media. Look your best in this style with a quality, professional wax treatment.

Cleaner look. Getting to the follicle of the hair is key to the longevity of your smooth look. Waxing allows for removal of the hair deep into the follicle, so re-growth is slower and softer.

Delay of growth. Again, treatment from the follicle delays growth, so you can enjoy your smooth look for a longer period of time.

Easier maintenance. Messy razors, soaps and depilatories are a thing of the past when you discover the ease and affordability of waxing.

Freedom from ingrown hairs. Tend Skin®, along with waxing eliminates ingrown hairs.

Great sex appeal! If you feel sexy, you will be more attractive. Waxing allows you to feel cleaner, smoother and more comfortable in your own skin!

Hairless!   Enough said!

Independence from razors! Razors are costly, messy and can result in nicks and infections. Waxing at Head to Toe by Arlene is completely sanitary!

Just Call for an Appointment!               770-973-7270.
