Need help determining what your skin type is?
Although a skin consultation with an Esthetican can help you best determine, here is a quick guide:

Dry Skin:
Skin feels dry and tight, sometimes you may see flakes on your cheeks, chin and forehead. Fine lines may be present around your eye and lip contour area.

Normal/Combination Skin:
Skin has an even tone, not overly dry or oily. From time to time you may experience oiliness on your chin, nose or forehead or dryness on your cheeks, lips and around your eye area.

Oily Skin:
Skin is shiny, has visible pores and is prone to spots and blemishes. Makeup seems to slide off your skin as soon as it is applied.

Acne Skin:
Skin is usually characterized by normal to oily that persistently breaks out, is clogged, reactive and is sometimes inflamed.

We all know the basics of skin care: cleansing, toning and moisturizing but did you know that Exfoliation is one of the main keys to vibrant skin? Regular exfoliation removes the hard keratin layer build-up bringing luminosity and clarity to the skin. Exfoliation in younger skin unplugs pores and keeps the skin clear and smooth. For mature skin, exfoliation is essential to help minimize fine lines, remove dry flakes and revive sluggish skin.

You can have beautiful skin and keep beautiful skin by having regular facials, maintaining a healthy diet and by using quality skincare products. We would be pleased to offer you a complimentary skincare consultation and talk with you about what products will be best for your skin type.

Lash Extensions

2010-10-14T13:27:00.000-07:00

Individually applied, semi-permanent lashes give the appearance of longer and thicker lashes that look natural and beautiful. They can be worn while swimming, showering and everyday activities with out the smudge and smearing like regular mascara may cause.

Considering getting a set of Lash Extensions? Read on to find out more about what is involved in the process...

Lash Application Procedure:

Lashes are dipped one by one in adhesive and applied methodically to individual lashes. On average 20 to 40 lashes will be used on each eye depending on the number of real lashes the client has and the size of the eye. The process will take one and a half to two hours and is surprisingly very relaxing.

What to avoid after application of your new Lashes:

Must avoid allowing water to contact your new lashes for at least 12 hours.

No Steam, Swimming or washing your face/lashes for 48 hours after application

Do not use water proof/regular mascara.. You will not need it and will shorten the life span of your new lashes.

Do not use an eye lash curler, this will cause breakage of your natural lashes.

Do not rub your eye lashes when washing your face and be sure to pat dry.

Do not pull on your lash extensions, this can cause your natural lashes to be pulled out.

Q & A

How long will my lash extensions last?
Everyone is different and it is hard to give a specific amount of time, but typically lashes will last as long as your natural lashes as long as you receive regular "fills". A "Fill" is maintenance for your lash extensions; as your natural lashes grow and shed, and with everyday wear and tear your lash extensions will loosen and fall off. A Fill is typically required every 2 to 3 weeks and will replace these lashes.

How long will extensions make my lashes?
The average lash extension will typically add 20 to 50% of length to your natural lash. Different size lashes will be used depending on the area placed and the look you are trying to achieve.

Will sleeping or activities ruin my new lashes?
If possible it is best to sleep on your back when you have lash extensions on. We know that this is not always possible. Sleeping on the side of your face can cause lashes on that side to fall off sooner than if you were sleeping on your back.
Everyday activities will not affect your lash extensions, and more that likely you will forget that you even have them on. Exercise, swim, enjoy the outdoors, do everyday activities!

I am planning on getting them for a special event, when should I have them applied?
It is suggested that you have them applied the 2 to 5 days prior to the event. It takes a full 48 hours for the adhesive to fully cure and become semi-permanent and they will look the most fresh after this time period.

Can I use mascara on my lashes?
More than likely you will not need to use mascara, the look that you will receive from the extensions will give you fuller and thicker looking lashes and take away the need for mascara. If you feel you absolutely want to use mascara it can be applied but ONLY on the tips of the lashes, but again it is not recommended! Using mascara can cause the adhesive to breakdown and cause loss of lashes sooner than normal wear without using mascara.

How do I remove the lash extensions?
To prevent your natural lashes from being damaged you will need to return and have them removed by a trained technician. In trying to remove lashes yourself, you risk lash breakage and potentially pulling out your natural lash.

What do I need to do before my appointment?
It is best to arrive at your appointment with no makeup on your lashes or eyes. In order to adhere lash extensions, natural lashes have to be completely dry and clean. In removing eye makeup it will leave the lashes slightly damp which may not allow the adhesive to cure as well. Removing eye makeup prior to your appointment will give enough time for your lashes to completely dry.

Benefits of Pedicures & Manicures

2010-05-21T12:54:00.000-07:00

Monthly Pedicures and bi-weekly Manicures are highly recommended, with busy lives and always on the go we are constantly on our feet and using our hands. Most people view Manicures and Pedicures as a seasonal treatment, but it is more than that! All of the products and methods used in both treatments at Spa Vita Bella are for the benefit of the Client. Our Spa Pedicure incorporates a short Reflexology Treatment and Hot Stone Massage that helps increase circulation and soothe tired muscles. An organic Salt Scrub removes dry dull skin, revealing smooth and radiant skin! Having properly trimmed toe nails will decrease the possibility of in-grown toe nails, discomfort and looks esthetically more pleasing, all which can be accomplished easily with one of our Pedicures at Spa Vita Bella.

Nail Polish Industry has evolved with better and healthier ways of wearing polish, called Gel Polish, which we provide at Spa Vita Bella, makes weak, thin and short nails become stronger and longer that will last up to a week and a half without chipping! Wow!

All in all, if you continue having monthly Pedicures and bi-weekly Manicures you will be having radiant, beautiful and most importantly healthy nails, hands and feet year round.

Benefits of Deep Tissue Massage

2010-03-18T13:13:00.000-07:00

Who should get Deep Tissue Massage? Anyone with a wish to feel BETTER! If you are having any sort of ache or pain, been in a car accident, been injured in any way, you need Deep Tissue. Many people think of massage as a luxury. Think again! Many major medical Insurance Companies are now accepting massage as a form of Treatment. If Insurance Companies are realizing the benefits, there must be something great about Deep Tissue Massage.

Often times, here at Spa Vita Bella, people are afraid to get Deep Tissue Massage because they think it is going to hurt. It can, but doesn't always. People often say that after a Deep Tissue treatment they feel slightly tender but then they feel great! The tenderness is usually described as if they had done a really intense workout. When you receive the Deep Tissue Massage, it will do many beneficial things for the body. Most people build up adhesion's in many areas of their body which decreases Range of Motion. Deep Tissue will decrease the amount of adhesion's, assist in the process of breaking up scar tissue, decrease Hyper-tonic muscles (better known as knots), increase circulation, influence relaxation later and release the natural toxins that become entangled in the body.

Overall, by receiving Deep Tissue Massage, your body will experience many great benefits that can last for many days. Our Spa Vita Bella Massage Therapists are highly skilled in providing you with a Deep Tissue Massage to improve your overall body wellness.

We look forward to providing you with relaxation and rejuvenation!

Brazilian Waxing

2009-11-04T13:24:00.000-08:00

What is a Brazilian wax? Think of a super extended bikini wax....only there's no hair left anywhere. That's right, completely bare down there. Sounds scary and a little intimidating, doesn't it? Well it doesn't have to be!

Knowing what to expect does alot to help alleviate your fears. First you will be asked to fill out an intake form to make sure there are no contraindications to wax (certain medications, diabetes, tanning etc.). Then your technician will bring you to the treatment room and have you change. Next the technician will assess and prepare your skin to be waxed and proceed with the waxing (usually anywhere from fifteen minutes to a half hour, depending on hair growth). After, the technician will apply product to calm the skin and give you tips on caring for your skin after a wax.

What everyone really wants to know is, does it hurt? Yes, yes it does. Is it unbearable? Nope, not in the least. If you're worried about the pain factor, get a numbing cream and apply about a half hour before your wax or we can spray you with a numbing spray at the time of your treatment.

There's a reason why this is the most popular wax today - because it is absolutely worth it!
