Get Gorgeous

Decorate Your Nails
If you’ve been on Pinterest recently, you’ve seen that nail art is a huge beauty trend at the moment. Naturally Nails in East Greenwich does all kinds of fun treatments – like animal print French manicures and embedded crystals – on gel, acrylic or natural nails. After ten visits, the eleventh is free.

Try A New Trend
Fashion magazines might be full of unrealistic choices – eight inch heels, anyone? – but there are some fabulous trends that still make sense in normal, non-supermodel life. Uptown Salon and Spa in Westerly offers hot services like ombre hair (a chic update of highlights that graduates the color throughout the hair’s length) and mink lashes (eyebrow extensions made of real fur). Sign up for their newsletter and receive 10% off a service.

Get Groomed

Maybe you haven’t been paying quite as much attention to your brows as you could be. It’s ok, we won’t judge you. All that plucking is too time consuming, and waxing, well, it’s not exactly painless. Smiley Eyes offers eyebrow threading, a quick, relatively painless alternative that lasts as long as waxing and takes only about the same amount of time to get done.

Go Natural
Taking a closer look at the ingredients in your makeup and hair products can be a little bit scary. Equally scary, though, is a life lived with gray roots and split ends. There’s a happy medium: Natural Style Salon in Charlestown. The full-service hair salon offers everything from cuts and color to keratin treatments with all natural, green products. They even have a recycling program: if you buy a Surface Shampoo and Conditioner, you can get them refilled at the salon for 25% off. Less waste, less money, more winning.

Learn from the Pros
Having your makeup done is one thing, but learning how to apply better cosmetics is a whole new experience. Bella Vita Salon carries the eco-friendly, antioxidant-rich glominerals makeup line, and offers lessons in makeup application. You know what they say... teach a woman to be fabulous and it will last a lifetime.
