Airbrush Tanning Benefits

December 20th, 2011 by capriciosalon

  Everyone loves a beautiful tan, no matter the season. What we don’t love, the awful damage that UV rays do to our skin. Need a solution?! Airbrush tanning is the easiest and safest way to get a healthy and sexy tan. With no sun required this is the best alternative for your skin to remain healthy but still have a sun kissed glow.

This is a great option for a last minute wedding, work function, or for everyday wear! Generally lasting up to 10 days with the right care, you can have the sun kissed look all week long! This is also a popular service for guests going on vacations that tend to get sun burned easily. The tanning solution is derived from sugar beets and contains the main ingredient DHA. It is an FDA approved solution, this is a smart and effortlessly way to brighten your skin.

What’s the number one trick for keeping your tan lasting long and looking fresh? MOISTURIZER!  Making sure your skin is exfoliated really well before you head in for your airbrush tan is key. You also need to limit physical activity for a recommended 12 to 24 hours after. This ensures that you get the full benefits from your tan and maximum results will show. After that it’s just moisturizing in the morning and at night. Keeping the skin hydrated in the winter especially is important when prolonging your tan.

We’ve all heard of or used the bulky machines that do the spray tan for you, right? But we all know that they can’t get in the nooks and crannies of our bodies. Our esthetician is specially trained to give you the best looking airbrush tan you’ve ever had! With having a hand held airbrush machine, she is able to cover every area of the body and avoid any streaking or missed areas that can occur with the machine tanning.

Brazilian or Bikini wax??

December 7th, 2011 by capriciosalon

Let’s admit it. We’ve all been self-conscious about our bodies in one way or another. Whether we’re worried about our outfit, hair, or skin, the hair on our body is nothing less than embarrassing.

When we’re in a swimming suit all summer long, the last thing we want to worry about having to shave our legs, under arms, or bikini area.

When waxing any area of your body, the hair follicle is completely removed. Where is when you shave, you are cutting the hair off at the top of the skin so hair grows back faster and thicker than before. Waxing allows the hair to grow sporadically and finer. This will also lengthen the time between waxing appointments for 4 to 6 weeks.

Even though the winter’s coming up, it’s vacation season! There is nothing better than escaping the harsh winters than to be laying under the sun on the beach with family and friends. Don’t want to worry about body hair? Problem solved: our Brazilian wax is your ticket to a worry and hair free vacay. The most popular of our waxing services has been around for quite some time. The Brazilian is a no hair down there type of service and leaves the area smooth and clean.

Capricio offers: haircuts, Redken hair color and highlights, Brazilian blowouts, keratin relaxers, Japanese relaxers, extensions, Motives make-up applications, bridal party services, special event hair and make-up, facials, air-brush tanning, microdermabrasion, Brazilian waxing, bikini waxing, threading, body hair removal.

We are: Redken Color Certified, Hair Dreams Extensions Certified, Brazilian Blowout, Keratin and Japanese Relaxer Certified

You “LIKE” we donate $$$!!!!

September 30th, 2011 by capriciosalon

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

October 1, 2011 – Capricio Salon and Spa is excited to kick off Breast Cancer awareness month with some upcoming events and promotions in order to raise money for the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer foundation. This outstanding foundation was established in 1982 and has risen over one billion dollars towards the fight against breast cancer. It is the largest organization in the world for breast cancer survivors and activists. Last October we held an event in honor of this organization at Suite Nightclub in Milwaukee raising an incredible $1704.16 that was donated! This wouldn’t have been possible without the participation of our local community, and we are happy to have the chance to do it again this year

All of October we will be selling pink feather extensions, pink hair tinsel and regular pink hair extensions. A portion of all the proceeds will be donated to the Susan G. Komen foundation. A new way of raising money this year will involve the ease of technology and our love of connecting with our community. For every local Facebook “like” or Foursquare salon “check-in” we will donate $.50 to the foundation

With your help and support, we can make this a successful month! Help support us and the Susan G. Komen Foundation now by following our Facebook or Twitter page and by stopping at the salon to “check-in” and raise money for a great cause!
Thank you!

Capricio Salon Hair Extensions

March 31st, 2011 by capriciosalon

Long hair has always been considered epitome of feminine beauty.  Nothing has changed…

The dream of long hair perfection is often only met with great difficulties. Environmental factors, stress, chemical treatments and burden on the hair tend to worsen its condition. Hair should always be trimmed, therefore, only with great care and patience, (hair grows approximately one inch per month) can the dream of long, healthy and natural hair be realized. Natural predisposition and dietary habits also play an important role.

It’s faster and more convenient with hair extensions. It’s virtually indistinguishable from natural hair and in only a few hours makes hair length, volume and almost any desired hair style possible!

Capricio Wedding updos

March 22nd, 2011 by capriciosalon

A wedding day is one of the best days in a woman’s life so everything should be settled and fixed at its best. Much on what wedding theme one would choose, the most important factor that should be considered is the bride’s wedding updo. Are you still considering on what hairstyle to choose? Well, why not choose a fairytale hairstyle to give you a wonderful and enchanting look? Well, not all women choose this updo because some think that a fairytale look is just for little girls.

I say, if you’re a bride, you’re the most beautiful woman on earth at that moment and you should make the most out of that time – look like a goddess! One of the best wedding updo that has a fairy theme is the updo that’s pulled back from your face and parted on either side. It would be better if you have a long hair because you can make small curls at the back of your head. Topping it with a tiara will certainly make you look like an dazzling goddess from the heavens. If you want a lighter look, you can have your hair pulled away from your face lightly and use hair jewelries and accessories for a more elegant look. Your tiara will surely stand out on your dark hair. If you have bangs, it should be no problem at all because there are wedding updos that can fit your hairstyle perfectly. You can part your bangs off center and have a finished French Twist for a decent look. To achieve your desired look, you may require other services ahead of your big day. This may include extensions, airbrush tanning or color and cut. In these instances, we can draw up a pre-wedding hair plan to ensure your hair is healthy, glossy and vibrant in plenty of time for your wedding. It is always a good idea to try out the style you have chosen ahead of the big day. This will last between one and three hours depending on whether you wish the bridesmaids to be involved. It’s beneficial to have a trial run, as it instantly removes one of the biggest causes of stress on your wedding day.

Additional trial runs can also be arranged if you wish. We would be more than happy to come to your home, hotel, or venue of your choice if you prefer to have your hair styled outside of the salon. You will awake on your special day knowing that you are already destined to look your best. Just sit back, relax and let us make your hair & makeup beautiful for your wedding. Call us at 414-967-0100 to book your appointment today.
