Don’t get caught looking like the blotchy red-nosed reindeer this holiday season! From skin care to gorgeous ‘dos to glam-manicures and everything in between, we've got beauty services to achieve a shimmery photo-perfect look for every occasion this holiday season.
Lash Out: Nothing, nothing, makes a difference on your face like a set of gorgeous, long lashes (cue to photos of any Kardashian of choice). And those who get their fills religiously know that the key to a good set is finding the right technician who will artfully apply each lash so that they look natural and who will use the best and safest products on the market. Good news for Bergen County beauty-junkies, Lash House NJ of Livingston, named “The Best Lash House in NJ” has now set up shop for the holidays at The Shops at Riverside and that’s something we can bat an eye at. (Lash House at MLuxe Salon at the Shops at Riverside, Hackensack, 973-992-4300 to book all appointments, $300 for a full set, $175 for a teaser set)
Extend the Season: That Lob looked super fresh and easy in September, but now in December, not so much. Instantly lengthen and thicken your ‘do with gorgeous extensions done by master Stephanie Antonio who is expertly trained in every method from micro links to fusion, and carries only the highest quality hair. Scheduling with her is super easy too -- simply book a consult via email or her online system and she will come to your home, match your color and install within a week. (hairextensionsbystephanie, fabulouslockshairextensions@gmail.com, 973-704-3329 to book all appointments, starting at $200)
Glam-icure: Your holiday look would not be complete without a glam-manicure and the new Nail Bar in Tenafly has all the best holiday designs on fleek. Grab a gorgeous seat with your mini in tow and let their talented nail designers paint your nails with anything from fun snowmen to something more mature like a glitter and gold geometric. (9 Washington Avenue, Tenafly 201-541-7200)
Set the Right Tone: Sure holiday season rocks, but the pallor of your skin tone mid-December doesn’t. Pick your perfect shade of bronze at Brushed Tanning Studio at The Fountain Spa. After helping you select your perfect shade, expert spray technicians Allie or Stephanie (responsible for the gorgeous glows of the NYJets Flight Crew) will apply their all organic, plant based spray and get you glowing head to toe. ($69 for one 15 minute application, ½ off a 10 session pack, lasts up to a week, Brushed Tanning Studio at The Fountain Spa Hackensack or Ramsey, 201-357-5155)
Go Back in Time: Before NYE hits, make it your resolution to take years off your life with Esthetica MD’s remarkable age-reversing treatment, the Environ facial. This signature treatment enhances the penetration of active peptides and antioxidants up to 4000 times more than a manual facial, and includes collagen induction therapy (CIT), and an algae mineral mask.
