Alpine Beginnings Open Night Wrap Up!

Oct 16, 2017 | Beauty News

It might have been Friday the 13^th, but the night was full of fun and learning and beautiful women! I’m talking about thelatest Alpine Beginnings Open Night of course… it was the biggest and best yet! Around 40 people attended, and I was blown away by the number of new faces who had come to hear about Alpine Beginnings and the services we offer. The room was full of a wonderful mix of loyal clients, curious newcomers, gorgeous younger teens and sparkling mature women.

There was a real buzz in the room, with lots of fun and laughter. People were eager to hear about what I had learned at the Beauty Expo in August, as well as find out about the new products and services I would be introducing to the Salon. And of course, everyone wanted to know about the fantastic specials available to Open Night guests only.

I went out on a limb this year, and spoke a lot more about the structure of the skin and the science behind the different treatments I use. I really wanted people to understand how the different products or treatments work, how I can help my clients resolve the issues that concern them and why I do things the way I do. My motto at Alpine Beginnings is “Inspiring wellness through beauty”, and I wanted everyone to understand my holistic approach, and how much work I put into researching everything I introduce into the Salon. I think it worked! There was a lot of interest and lively discussion.

One new guest said afterwards “I came to hear about one particular product, and I’ve been blown away by the level of education and enlightenment that Elisa offered!”

As always, I aim to introduce exciting new products and treatments at the Alpine Beginnings Open Night, and this time was no different. I revealed that I am now offering the new La Clinica Age Reversal Treatment in the Salon! This 5 layer peel has been in development by La Clinica for 2.5 years, so the level of research behind it is phenomenal. The Age Reversal Treatment is intense, but very effective, and is the first La Clinica treatment to use retinol as part of the peeling process. This results in deep exfoliation and assists in reversing the signs of ageing such as acne scarring, wrinkles, dehydrated skin and pigmentation. Open Night guests were treated to a one-off special offer for this amazing new treatment, with a line-up at the end of the night as people booked in to take advantage of this!

I was also able to reveal that Bleach Bright Teeth Whitening is now available in the Salon! With my previous career as a dental therapist, I am especially excited to be able to bring this treatment to my clients. With their tendency to stain as we get older, teeth really do show your age no matter how clear and healthy your skin is!

I was able to give all my guests a demonstration of the whitening process and how it works – just a 20 minute in-salon treatment, which results in whiter teeth for up to 12 months. And it really works! I was able to demonstrate that the Bleach Bright Treatment can lighten your teeth between 2 and 10 shades.

I also gave a demonstration of how simple and effective the Cherry Blooms Fibre Lash Extensions are for giving you long and beautiful lashes. People love this product! One of my guests had never used mascara her whole life, but after the demonstration was excited to try the Cherry Blooms products. There were lots of other goodies and specials on offer for guests who attended, and everyone went home with a special gift.

Feedback from the night was wonderful. Thankyou ladies, for your lovely comments!

“Awesome as always! Informative and fun”

“The hardest decision is choosing which treatment to get!”

“Elisa is so much more than just a beauty therapist. She’s so knowledgeable and cares so much!”

“I just love Elisa’s passion and genuine commitment to skin health as well as beauty. That’s why I keep coming back to her!”

For those of you who missed out or were unable to attend, don’t worry! I will hold another Open Night some time in the New Year, with new offers, lots of information and as always, lots of fun! If you want to learn more about any of the treatments or products I’ve described here, don’t hesitate to contact Alpine Beginnings Beauty on elisa@alpinebeginningsbeauty.com.au or 0411 355 897. See you in the Salon!

Bold Eyes, Beautiful Lashes!

Sep 24, 2017 | Beauty News

At Alpine Beginnings Beauty, I love to help people look and feel beautiful. When doing a makeover for someone’s wedding or other special occasion, I spend a lot of time on the eyes. They are, after all, “the window to the soul”. And one of the most important features to emphasise and highlight are your lashes. However not all of us are blessed with long, thick, dark, prominent lashes. Fortunately, we have a fabulous product at the Salon that is just perfect for emphasising and thickening those eyelashes; Cherry Blooms Fibre Lash Extensions! These are not fake, stick-on lashes that require glue, are apt to fall off at inappropriate moments, and can in some cases look terrible. Cherry Blooms Brush On Fibre Lash Extensions work with your own lashes, coating and extending through the application of small fibres, to make your lashes look longer, thicker and stunningly beautiful.

In just 3 simple steps, with no fuss and no mess, you can have gorgeously long, dark lashes that perfectly frame those sparkling eyes.

Cherry Blooms Fibre Lash Extensions use high quality beeswax as the transplanting gel. The beeswax hydrates your lashes and stimulates lash growth, while the natural fibres are plant-based. Only natural, non-toxic ingredients are used, so the Cherry Blooms Fibre Lash Extensions are suitable for those with sensitive eyes as well as contact lens wearers. The formula is water-resistant, meaning it’s smudge, cry, laugh and sweat-proof, unlike most other mascaras!

Cherry Bloom’s high-grade beeswax stays put all day without flaking to adhere the natural fibres to your lashes. Applying the fibres adds 3D volume, amplifying your lashes by up to 300%! The fibres won’t fall on your face, and easily wash off in warm water, which acts to melt and soften the beeswax gel. The Fibre Lash Extensions can be removed quickly and simply with a warm, wet cotton wool ball. There’s no need for oil or chemical-based makeup removers.

Beeswax really is amazing, and has a lot of health benefits in all it’s applications. When it comes to your lashes, the benefits of Cherry Bloom’s high grade beeswax include:

• Moisturises like a leave-in lash conditioner, building lash strength and thereby preventing brittleness and fall-out
• Stimulates lash growth and helps regenerate cells faster
• Has a shelf life of three years, thanks to antibacterial properties that prevent bacteria breeding

The Cherry Blooms Fibre Lash Extensions are available now at Alpine Beginnings Beauty. Get yours for only $69. Contact Alpine Beginnings Beauty to learn more on elisa@alpinebeginningsbeauty.com.au or 0411 355 897

Age Reversal by La Clinica – now who doesn’t want that?!

Aug 3, 2017 | Beauty News

Introducing paramedical peel treatments at Alpine Beginnings Beauty…

Beauty shines through the faces of women at all ages and stages of their lives. However, when it comes down to it, we’d all like to look a little younger. When it comes to anti-ageing, La Clinica are up there with the best, with a range of products that actually work for different skin types and different stages of skin development or ageing. In their quest for youthful skin, La Clinica recently introduced the new Age Reversal 5 Layer Peel Treatment Series, now available at Alpine Beginnings Beauty. This is a series of paramedical facial peel treatments promoting deep peeling, exfoliation and skin renewal. The result is softer, smoother, flawless and younger looking, more hydrated skin.

Paramedical treatments contain more active ingredients in higher concentrations than cosmeceutical treatments (which are themselves more powerful than over-the-counter skin products). Paramedical products are medically and clinically developed, enabling the deepest delivery of ingredients to be most effective where your skin needs them the most. This is yet another increase in the treatment menu offered at Alpine Beginnings Beauty and I am proud and excited to introduce this powerful treatment to my cherished clients.

Facial peels work by removing layers of old, tired skin, and allowing the new, younger skin cells to come to the surface, diminishing wrinkles, dryness, age spots, clogged pores and other flaws. This process promotes new skin cell growth and is the most powerful, non-surgical way of achieving youthful looking skin. Paramedical peels go deeper than regular peels, exfoliating more skin cells and clogged skin layers and thereby promoting and stimulating more growth and renewal of your complexion than otherwise available.

The human skin is amazing – it produces over 5 billion new skin cells per day! Paramedical peels maximise the body’s regenerative powers, taking full advantage of natural skin renewal.

Paramedical peels are incredibly potent; La Clinica’s Age Reversal Facial Peel helps to turn back the clock on problems such as:

• ageing skin
• wrinkles
• enlarged pores
• dryness
• thick textured skin
• acne
• acne scarring
• excessive pigmentation and
• dehydration

Unlike at-home, do-it-yourself peels, which are in fact exfoliants misleadingly as peels, in-salon peels administered by a professional actually have a significant impact on your appearance. As a guide, there are 5 levels of peel, with Paramedical Peels one step below medical peels:

1. At-home Exfoliation – removal of already-dead skin cells using over the counter products; manual scrubs and masks
2. Aesthetic Exfoliation – in-salon treatment that uses light enzyme peels and scrubs to disturb skin cells still attached during the shedding process, dead cells are removed earlier and faster than using at-home products
3. Micro-Resurfacing – removes shedding skin cells as well as the next layer of live cells, removing imperfections and diminishing fine lines using a combination of enzyme peels and micro-dermabrasion
4. Paramedical Peels – sheds all surface skin cells removing deep scarring and deep lining, hyper-pigmentation and years of environmental damage. Paramedical peels use a combination of acids, retinol and vitamins
5. Medical Peels – a medically performed treatment removing all layers of the epidermis and touching part of the underlying dermis, sometimes used by medical professionals in the removal of excessive skin cancers.

Due to its paramedical potency, the Age Reversal Treatment Series is a professional-only facial treatment.

It uses La Clinica products formulated with powerful cosmeceutical ingredients including retinol, fruit enzymes, 5 acids, niacinamide and vitamin C. There are 5 different stages to the Age Reversal Treatment, which are an enzyme peel, retinol peel, 5 acids peel (AHA’s, BHA’s and PHA’s), followed by an enzyme mask and a multi-fruit  acid serum.

This strong and active combination produces real results and produces a visible and tangible difference in the quality, youthfulness and uniformity of your complexion.

The Age Reversal paramedical 5 layer peel treatments are most effective when experienced in a series of 4-6, but can be also booked individually as a one off facial.

The specialised and powerful Age Reversal Facial Peel treatments are only $195 each. However a 20% discount is available when you book a series of 4 or more paramedical peels for maximum results, paying only $624 for 4 treatments.

Book now to turn back the clock with your Age Reversal salon treatment on elisa@alpinebeginningsbeauty.com.au or 0411 355 897, or online at www.alpinebeginningsbeauty.com.au
