4 winter hand healer tips

February 27, 2010 By: ten20 Category: Uncategorized, polish, products

Screen shot 2010-02-15 at 9.20.02 AM

4 winter hand healers

Prettify this oft-neglected zone with these easy tips. The result? You’ll look hands-down gorgeous!

From the January 2010 Issue

Hydrate as you lather

Washing often with antibacterial sanitizers that contain alcohol can dry out hands. In fact, even with soap, they can lose about 25 percent of their natural moisture with every rinse, finds research from Dove in Trumbull, Connecticut. To renew the suppleness of skin, use a milky, sulfate-free soap instead. Lock in moisture with a petrolatum-rich lotion.

Make cuticles softer

Heal ragged hangnails by massaging them with an oil-based cream (we like Ahava Cuticle Cream, $14) morning and evening to repair damage from dehydrating polish changes, filing and buffing. To neaten cuticles, gently push them back with an orangewood stick once a week. Trim any stubborn remainders with a small nail clipper.

Bolster nail strength

Avoid polishes that have toluene, formaldehyde and dibutyl phthalate, which weaken nails. And take a vacay from lacquer one week a month. “The no-chip formulas they use in salons look great but suffocate nails,” says David J. Goldberg, M.D., a dermatologist in New York City. “By giving yourself a break from polish, you’ll restore moisture, keeping nails healthy.”

Even out skin tone

“Years of sun exposure can lead to brown spots on hands,” says Neal Schultz, M.D., a dermatologist in NYC. To head them off, put on sunscreen with an SPF of 30 daily. Already see damage? Every other day, apply a product with exfoliating glycolic acid (try DDF 10% Exfoliating Oil Control Gel, $48) for smooth, flawless hands in no time!

Get pampered and plucked at Ten20, a nail and waxing spa

Screen shot 2010-02-17 at 7.25.54 PM

Located on the East End of downtown Boulder’s Pearl Street, Ten20 spa is a glamour girl’s getaway. This nail and waxing salon bills itself as the “everywoman” spa and lives up to its name. A balanced blend of upscale and accessible, this spa is perfect for a quick bit of pampering or a full blown girls’ day out.

From the moment you enter the spa, Ten20 is the ultimate in a girly girl experience. The welcoming and comfortable atmosphere encourages spa-goers to bring a girlfriend (or take time for yourself!) and spend the day in the comfy armchairs getting a pedicure and watching a favorite TV show. While getting nails done or unwanted hair removed, shows such as “Sex and the City,” “Ellen,” and “Grey’s Anatomy” play on the big screen in the main spa area or on smaller TVs in the private waxing rooms. Diet Coke and M&Ms complete the pampering treatment. And as a mid-week treat, Ten20 plays popular girly movies on Chick Flick Wednesdays, great for a girls’ night out!

Ten20 focuses its services on nails and waxing, offering the gamut of just the basics to the full spa experience. A great budget-friendly alternative, try the mini versions of the ”tens,” Ten20’s manicures and pedicures - $25 for mani, $33 for a pedi, or both for $55. These express services have the same professional result as the regular service, with just a little less pampering. There are also a variety of waxing services available, for those new to waxing and those with more experience in going hairless. Ten20’s professional staff performs these services adeptly, making a potentially painful experience quick and easy.

Ten20 is also a great place to find a unique gift or special treat, offering a bit of the big city in Boulder. The ever-changing boutique is stocked with a variety of beauty and skincare products, jewelry, clothing and just plain cute stuff.

Real Simple- how to: groom your brows in 3 easy steps

February 02, 2010 By: ten20 Category: Uncategorized, pluck

Screen shot 2010-01-29 at 4.48.46 PM

How To: Groom Your Brows

The key to getting a good shape? Being precise and light-handed, says Sania Vucetaj, owner of Sania’s Brow Bar, in New York City. She prefers the gentle precision of tweezing over the excavation that is waxing. Here, her foolproof method.

What You Need
Makeup brush, tweezers, brow pencil, scissors

Follow These Three Easy Steps

1. Shape the inner edges.

To determine where your brow should begin, hold a makeup brush vertically against the bridge of your nose, says Vucetaj. Pluck any hairs that fall outside this line and close to your nose. “Grip tweezers near their points for the best control and yank hairs swiftly in the direction of growth,” she advises. This prevents them from breaking, which leads to ingrown hairs. Work cautiously: “Women often overtweeze between brows. But full inner edges keep brows balanced and natural looking.”

2. Create an arch.

“The highest point of your arch should line up with the outside edge of your iris,” says Vucetaj. Put a dot of brow pencil slightly above your brow at this point. Next, color over your brows with the pencil to create your ideal shape, starting near the nose, working up to the dot, and moving down toward the temple. The shape should look like a sloped arc. Tweeze any hairs below the penciled-in area of the brow. Pluck above the brow only if you see an obvious hair; taking off too much from the top “flattens brows and makes you look tired.”

3. Even out and refine.

Step back from the mirror: Are your brows even? Is one a little fuller than the other? Fix discrepancies by plucking a single hair, then stepping back again to see the full picture. Often, removing one hair makes a visible difference. Next, tend to any extra-long pieces. “Brush brows upward, toward your forehead,” Vucetaj says, “and snip off the tips of hairs that extend beyond your shape.” Finally, examine where your brows end (near your temples). Imagine another diagonal line that extends from your nostril past the outer corner of your eye. Where your brow intersects this line is where it should end. Tweeze away any hairs outside this area. “You usually don’t need to remove much,” notes Vucetaj.

girl with brown hair and pink shirt

1. Brush your brows upward, then use brow scissors to snip just the very ends of any long hairs and repeat brushing downward, says eyebrow pro Ramy Gafni. Trimming the hair before tweezing will reveal the brow shape and remove the weight and bulk so that you can create an ideal shape.

2. Begin by holding a pencil parallel to the side of the bridge of your nose. The inner edge of your brows should start here. To determine the highest point of your arch, place the pencil parallel to the outside corner of your iris. Angling the pencil diagonally from your nostril to the outside corner of your eye will tell you where your brow should end. Another foolproof way to locate your arch: “Look at your face straight on in the mirror and find the highest point of your brow. Tweeze directly below it for a perfectly placed arch,” says Gafni.

3. Mark the spots you just mapped out with a brow pencil, then begin tweezing or waxing accordingly. Remove no more than two rows of hair to maintain a natural effect. You may also need to remove just a few hairs from the top of the outer edges to create a subtle downward slope. If you have thick brows and want a more dramatic arch, remove an additional row from under the peak of the brow to create a more pronounced arch and to keep it from appearing straight and flat.

We are proud and flattered – the Boulder County Business Report had some fabulous things to say about the work Margaret Miner of ten20 & Rags Consignments and Heather Smith of Lady Luxe Inc have been doing together on the social media scene!

Here’s the scoop:

Getting social with Lady Luxe
By Valerie Gleaton

June 26, 2009 — BOULDER – Most business owners recognize the importance of online advertising, but using social media platforms such as Facebook, Twitter and blogs to connect with current and potential customers is still a new frontier for many. For those who don’t know a “Friend” from a “Follower,” Heather Smith is here to help.

A self-described “social media maven,” Smith is the founder of Lady Luxe Inc., a consulting firm that assists companies hoping to increase their online visibility.

Smith, who recently became the social media strategist for international eco-cosmetic company Weleda, has revamped online marketing for local companies including Rags Consignment, ten20 nail salon, The T-BAR lingerie shop, Bundle Baby Shop and Jessie Walker Knit Goods.

“I call it ’social media for the socially responsible,’” says Smith, noting that the companies share a commitment to ethical business practices such as sustainability and fair trade.

This isn’t surprising, considering her background. Smith began her career in the natural products industry, and was so successful in launching and promoting her own beauty line that other companies began approaching her to consult on theirs. This led her to found JG Consulting (short for Jersey Girl Consulting) in New York. A few years later, Smith moved to Boulder with her husband. On Earth Day 2006, she launched Coco’s Shoppe, which she says was one of the very first online eco-boutiques.

“That was how I became more online savvy,” Smith says. “Then last fall the economy hit everyone hard, especially retail. You had to decide whether to relaunch, close up shop or reinvent yourself. That’s when I started to jump on board with social media. I wanted to use all the opportunities that were out there and also give them to other businesses. That’s what I’m doing with Lady Luxe.”

The economic downturn offered the perfect conditions to establish the new consulting firm. With low start up costs – “My Mac is my office,” Smith says – and business owners looking for ways to weather the recession, Lady Luxe was a fairly low-risk venture. Now, though she still owns Coco’s Shoppe, Smith says that most of her time is spent advising companies on how to take advantage of social media.

Smith says the first step is simply listening to the client to find out where they are and where they want to go. For instance, when Margaret Miner, owner of Rags Consignment and ten20, told Smith that she wanted to make her companies’ Web sites more dynamic, Smith converted them to WordPress blogs that also linked to Facebook and Twitter profiles.

“She’s does a fantastic job,” Miner says. “We’ve gotten a lot more interest in the Web site and feedback and interaction from customers.”

“All of a sudden, items we featured on the Rags site would immediately sell out,” Smith says. Customers who weren’t planning to come in that day would, just because of something they saw on the blog – that’s what’s so great about social media.”

Other companies have more specific goals. Smith says that T-BAR owner Debra Caplin already had a great blog and Twitter presence, but wanted more media attention for the shop.

“We got her on Daily Candy in a month,” Smith says proudly, referring to the popular e-mail newsletter that professes to be “the insider’s guide to what’s hot, new and undiscovered.”

“Give me a challenge, and I’m gonna deliver,” Smith promises. “I work on a case-by-case basis, so whether you want the full service where we build your whole social media platform, or just a la carte, I want to listen to what people are doing already and then fill in the gaps.”

However, though increasing sales and garnering glowing reviews is great for business in the short-term, Smith says the most important aspect of social media is its power to create brand loyalty through communication with customers.

“Businesses just need to get out there and engage,” Smith says. “Find your friends, find your fans, find your followers, and find your niche. You’ll get the customers who love you already, but you’ll also find those likeminded individuals who will soon love you.”
