Dear Client, 
 
Many of us can't wait for summer to begin.  We are excited about a break from school, going on vacation, time at the beach or starting a new exercise program.  It seems as if no sooner than we settle into the joys of summer,  it's over.  Now that August is officially here,  we are nearing the end of the summer vacation and to get "Back to School".  Alexander Myles has what you need to get in gear and finish the summer vacation off with a bang.  This month we are featuring 20% OFF, on all 60 and 90 minute massages.  This promotion includes swedish, aromatherapy, hydro-therapy, hot stone, deep tissue and reflexology.  Also this month, Alexander Myles Salon & Spa is featuring the most natural looking nail enhancement with our IBD UV Gel System.  Read "Gel Nails: A Natural Look at Your Fingertips" for more information.  To reduce fine lines and signs of aging, our Anti-Aging Facial is the featured facial of the month.  During August take advantage of our complimentary foil promotion. (read below for more info on that).  If you've been holding out for highlights now is the time to get themAnd finally we are very excited about the new product line we have acquired  called "Mixed Chicks"  inspired by two bi-racial women with unique curly hair needs.

Gel Nails:  A Natural Look at Your Fingertips

 
gel nails
If you have been planning to try artificial nails, among the best choices are gel nails. Other types of artificial nails include fiberglass nails, linen nails and of course the ever so popular acrylic. However, clients and nail techs often prefer gel nails since they often look more natural and glossier compared to other types of nail enhancements. These nails are made using a unique no-odor mixture of polymer and monomer gel. A pre-mixed combination of these two are used to create the gel nails with an ultra violet light being used in order to cure the nails.  When comparing gel nails to acrylic nails and other types of nail overlays, they generally cost a little more, however, if you want to have glossy, natural-looking nails, you won't be disappointed with gel nail enhancements.  The application of gel nails or gel overlays on natural nails is a much quicker process as compared to acrylic.  There is little or no filing done to the client's own nails which in turn reduces damage to the nail bed.  Gel nails can be made to lengthen the look of your nails and to make them more durable. If you are known to have brittle nails or uneven looking nails, gels are a good choice. They can even go on your toes to enhance your pedicure!  Before choosing any type of artificial nail enhancement, make sure that you first consult with a professional manicurist, like Amira at Alexander Myles Salon & Spa. She can advise you on the right type of nail enhancement suited for your lifestyle.  
Alexander Myles Salon & Spa uses IBD Gel System for beautiful, natural looking nails.
