Merle Norman Cosmetics is joining with Shoppes on Main to provide a special event. "Glamour Shots" are being offered just in time for Valentines Day. The cost is $45 (payable at time of registration) which includes hair, makeup and a photo session. Space is limited, so call Cindy at 919 552-3751 to schedule your appointment time.

JUST IN, RevitaLash. RevitaLash is a remarkable cosmetic innovation that will dramatically enhance the beauty of your Natural Lashes and unlike another marketed brand, will NOT change the color of your irises!!

A new order of Miche Bag Shells has arrived, come see the new selection.

Looking for that special gift for your special someone this Valentines Day? For a limited time only, our salon is offering our exclusive ROMANCE & ROSES Manicure/Pedicure. First your hands and feet are soaked in a warm, bubbly Effervescent Soak, being soothed and invigorated at the same time. Then our Rose Petal Scrub, featuring pumice, shea butter, and real rose petals, is applied to your arms and legs, as well as your feet and hands. Extra attention is given to callused areas, and warm booties and mitts encourage the penetration of rich moisture deep into your skin. Your nails are trimmed and shaped and when the exfoliating masque is removed, we'll massage our fragrant Rose Moisturizer into your feet, hands and limbs, leaving you smooth, silky and ready for romance. Top this off with a sparkling beverage, some delicious chocolates and you are in for a VERY SPECIAL DAY.
