Internal Love

Whether this is your first time visiting Glambar or your a regular here our mission is clear. We want you to leave us walking a little taller after your pampering. We understand how life isn’t always plain sailing and not everyday is a good day so if we can help a little it makes us happy. We want you to love and appreciate yourself.

So this month we wanted to tell a story about a woman that loves herself enough to take care of herself, but the struggles that came with it and that you are not alone.

Meet Juliana the co owner of a yoga studio called Holisticrats. Juliana’s mission is to welcome people to her studio and make them feel included, no matter what is happening in their life.

When I first started to learn about Juliana and her journey I couldn't stop scrolling through her instagram page - Juliana.bottini. Such transparency and honesty. It’s hard to imagine putting so much personal information on a platform for everyone to see - but she did! And now she finds herself in an amazing place in her life knowing all the struggles she went though got her to where she is today.

We should all be so fortunate to find this peace and love for ourselves. The truth is we can - all of us. It’s ok to admit when you are having a hard day, or the kids are driving you crazy or you just don’t want to make dinner tonight. 

It took Juliana a long time to love herself but now look at her! Her memories from her childhood are so vivid and true. Her perspective as a child losing her father and how it affected her is so upsetting but made her who she is today. A strong woman that loves herself, her life and wants to help other people.

There was a video online recently that showed two sides of how a father is perceived by a child. One father you see was not present and strict and didn't give his daughter much of his time. The other you see going on play dates and opening the door for his little princess.

The ending stuck with me. The loving father said he wants his daughter to be treated like a princess so when she grows up that is the standard of a man that she wants to take care of her. A prince for his princess.

We don't realize as parents sometimes how we shape the perception of our children. That in itself is scary but we have the ability to help. Love ourselves so our children know to love themselves.

On Juliana’s website in her bio you can read this:

My life completely changed: hate was replaced with love, fear was replaced with courage, self-rejection was replaced with the deepest self-acceptance. Today, I live a life I LOVE .

My battle with depression led me to yoga and holistic living. At 14 years old I felt completely helpless and hopeless.

In my darkest moment, I couldn’t  take it anymore. I needed the pain to stop. I wrote a letter to my mom blaming her for everything, another to my boyfriend telling him I was sorry, a letter to my dad telling him how much I loved him. 

I picked up scissors. I walked to the bathroom. While putting the scissors to my wrist, I felt this energy move through me I felt a deep knowing that this was not the way, I put the scissors down and I cried. I bawled and begged that energy to show me another way . This was my first encounter with the universe.   

Juliana has risen above the depression, pain and bad relationships to be where she is and that’s why we wanted to feature her. To let you know it is possible. Juliana is the proof of this so if you have a moment read more of her story and let it inspire you like it has us!!

Thank you Juliana for sharing your story and becoming a positive member of our community.

New Year Hair Resolutions

The beginning of the year is the best time to think about your health. I’m talking about your hair! Our hair has been through a lot for the holidays: teasing, curling, heating, straightening, spraying. It’s time to replenish your hair! Here’s our top 5 tips for your new year hair resolution.

Limited Time Bundle

January New Hair Package

To celebrate the start of a new year, we put together a special package so you can start your year feeling fabulous.

This 1-hour appointment includes: ($100 value, cost $85)

•   A classic wash and blow dry (Leading Lady, no hot tools) 

•   A deep conditioner mask: Give your hair the gift of ultimate protection and moisture with this conditioning masque. After 10 minutes with the 7SECONDS Masque, your strands will be nourished from roots to ends with long-lasting shine, softness, and manageability.

Keep reading for at home tips

1. Pamper yourself with weekly treatments

Your haircare shouldn’t stop after leaving the salon. It can be hard to carve out time every week to get pampering done. Start the new year off by making a habit to treat yourself with a new hair treatment. The living proof hydrating mask is the perfect place to start! It will moisturize and strengthen your hair. It’s also a therapeutic experience that will help you relax. We recommend using this hair treatment weekly. After shampooing in the shower, lather the mask in your hair and allow to sit for 10 to 15 minutes. Rinse, and your hair will be renewed!

2. Don’t over-wash your hair

Contrary to popular belief, going to have a professional blowout once a week can revitalize your hair. Wondering why? Because you will shampoo it less often. A lot of people are under the misconception that the more often you wash your hair, the healthier it will be. When you wash your hair too often, you are actually stripping it of it’s natural oils and will leave your hair feeling dry. We recommend washing your hair once or twice per week. Professional blowouts last longer than styling on your own, so you don’t have to worry about washing your air over and over again.

What do you do with your hair once you get to the third or fourth day? You can use dry shampoo to refresh your hair, or opt for certain hair styles. Many styles actually hold better with a little grit in your hair such as sleek low buns, detailed braids, or top knots.  

3. Use products with natural ingredients

When you read the ingredients on the back of your products, you most likely won’t recognize the majority of them. It’s best to be informed about what you’re putting on your body. Because of this, we recommend using products with natural ingredients.

4. Sleep on a silk pillowcase

Do you ever wake up with bedhead or tangled hair? Head over to your local store and get a silk pillowcase. The cotton pillowcases that most people use can dry and harm your hair and skin. Silk is a softer fabric that lets your hair glide freely across the surface throughout the night. This will minimize frizz and gives your hair a smoother texture. Silk is also a fabric that has less bacteria build up, so you may have less breakouts! Your hair and skin will thank you.

5. Trim those dead-ends consistently

 If you want to keep your ends healthy but don’t want to cut your length or don’t have the time, keep up with a quick 15-minute service you can add on. We are offering something new this year called the Split-Ender. 

This new service will give you overall healthier hair by addressing the split ends. It is specially designed to trim the very ends of the hair by 1/8" (3mm) or 1/4” (6mm), depending on the length selected, while leaving the overall length of the hair strands untouched. The split ends are trimmed to maintain those healthy locks, which can be a pain. With the Split-Ender service, you can keep all of your length while trimming those unsightly dead ends!

Say Goodbye to Dark Circles Under Your Eyes!

You wake up in the morning and go to wash your face. Feeling tired from not sleeping well the night before, you take a look in the mirror. Oh no! There they are again… those dark circles under your eyes. Dark circles can happen to the best of us. This is often a result of genetics and lack of sleep. We are expected to do more and more, which only leads to less and less sleep! I have 2 kids, 2 business and a husband! So trust me, I am right there with you in struggling to get a good night’s rest. But don’t worry, we have the perfect solution for you.

The first thing you must use is a great eye cream that absorbs quickly.

Next, you want to use a moisture-rich concealer with a peach undertone. A great choice would be Glambar’s concealer in light peach or medium peach.

Start on the inside corner and pat outward. It is important that you do not rub it on, because this can be harsh for your skin. Patting is more gentle and helps it sink in. Fingers in a patting motion, from the nose to the temples, works best.

The next step is to use a foundation. Start in your T-zone and work your way up to overlap with the concealer. There is no need to take the foundation all the way under the eyes. Bri used the luminance foundation in shell.

Create the finishing touches with your favorite bronzer and highlighter. You will have the perfect skin with no dark under eye circles! Bri used the Santa Fe bronzer and the number 4 highlighting powder.

Are you ready to put your best face forward and say goodbye to those dark circles once and for all? Come visit us at Glambar so we can color match the best products for you and your skin. Call us at (954) 688-9837 to schedule your appointment today!
