Cause Serious Brow Envy With Lamination

Let’s face it, we’re living in the golden age of brows. Ever since Instagram baddies came around, we’ve been absolutely obsessed over how to get our brows big, bold, and beautiful.

And if you’re looking for the latest trend in drool-worthy eyebrows, it’s here at Colair Beauty Lounge & Med Spa: brow lamination. It’s the easiest way to get the fashionable feathery brows of your dreams.

Brow Lamination Shapes Up Unruly Eyebrow Hair

Brow lamination treatment at Colair

Brow Lamination got its start in Russia, but British models brought it to the mainstream. Basically, brow lamination is like a perm for your eyebrows. A chemical solution is applied to your brows that help to restructure your brow hairs for a more attractive, feathery look.

If you’ve got brow hairs that can get a bit unruly, this is the treatment for you. It’s also perfect for those with unwanted light patches or gaps in their brows. And if you simply want to wake up with Vogue-worthy brows every day without touching a spool, then it’s definitely what you want.

Unlike microblading or eyebrow extensions, lamination works with your existing eyebrow hair. It’s non-invasive and the results can last up to 8 weeks. And sure, it works best on those who already have a decent amount of brow hair to work with, but it’s also great for giving a fuller look to those with fine brow hairs.

What to Expect from Your First Brow Lamination Appointment

When you first get to Colair Beauty Lounge & Med Spa,  you should have an initial consultation with your brow artist. They should explain the treatment and the process and make sure to answer any of your questions. Once you’re prepped and ready to go, your brow artist will brush through your brow hairs and apply a gentle chemical product that makes the hairs softer and easy to shape. This should stay in your brows for about 20 minutes.

After that, your artist will shape your brows and set them in place with a second solution. This is a keratin oil treatment that makes your existing hairs big and fluffy while stimulating more hair growth to keep them that way. Altogether, the whole process should take less than an hour.

There’s not much you have to do to prep for your brow lamination. Avoid using harsh skincare products like retinol and acne treatments for at least 48 hours before your appointment. These can make your skin more sensitive and irritable to the lamination solution. And to make things simpler at the spa, go to your appointment with a bare face and clean skin.

Your results should last about 8 weeks, but only if you take care of your brows and maintain them. After getting your brows laminated, make sure to:

  • Keep the affected area dry for 24 hours. Don’t apply creams, oils, or eye makeup.
  • Don’t rub your eyes for 24 hours
  • Skip the gym until tomorrow and avoid a super-hot shower.
  • Oil your brows nightly after the first night
  • Don’t use retinol or an exfoliator for 72 hours.

And just like that, you’ve got Cara Delevingne-level brows! If you’re looking to seriously improve your brow-game, visit or call Colair Beauty Lounge & Med Spa in Gilbert, Arizona at (480) 923-6138.

Skin’s Summer Survival Guide

There’s just something about summer that makes even the most prude skin-fanatics lose all their inhibitions and regular skincare routines. Maybe it’s the ocean air, kid’s out of school or perhaps just the bottle of Rosè. But, it’s vital that you keep your cool and remain sunscreed-ed and more during summer break. Below are few tips to fighting the sun this season from your friends at Colair Beauty Lounge & Med Spa. 

Sunscreen: Yes, we’re gonna state the obvious. But sunscreen is the best, and possibly the simplest way to prevent sun damage (I.e sunspots, wrinkles, cancer, etc). Mix it with your favorite cream and reapply every few hours. 

Don’t Just Spray It: Yes, those spray sunscreens work, but according to dermatologist, folks aren’t rubbing it in properly. Leaving you with streaky protection. Spray the section of your body until it glistens, and then give it a proper rub-in. 

Get Shady: Sure, sunscreen is gonna do it’s thing, but why stop there? Get glamorous with a giant hat, long sleeve shirt and oversized shades to protect the skin around your eyes. Think vampire in the Hamptons, people. 

Burned: So you’ve disregarded all of this and you’re looking like a lobster? The first thing you want to do is stay hydrated. UV light causes inflammation, and staying hydrated helps repair the skin barrier more quickly. Also, don’t pick any blisters and pile on the aloe. 

Too Little, Too Late: Maybe you’re reading this article a few years too late and you’re seeing some spots, lines and wrinkles. We’ve got the magic for that. The sun is our skin’s biggest enemy, and through treatments like PRP Facials, Botox and some of our amazing skincare products, we can help reverse the damage that’s already done. 

If you’d like to learn more about how to keep your skin safe this summer, or what we can do for preexisting sun damage, allow our registered nurse at Colair Beauty Lounge & Med Spa take a look at you and answer any of your questions. Please visit or call us at (480) 923-6138.

Smoking and Straws: Lips Biggest Enemies

Few aesthetic aging signs are as damning as line around the lips or smoker’s lines. But the worst part is, you can develop them even if you’ve never picked up a cig. Colair Beauty Lounge & Med Spa knows bad lines and wrinkles happen to good people, and we can help.

Not unlike lines around the eyes or forehead, lip lines care caused by muscle movement. Repetitive moment often results in permanent lines, that become deeper with time. Smoker’s lines are caused by puckering of the lips. Though far less worse than smoking, using a straw creates the same muscle movement that causes said lines.

If you’ve managed to avoid smoker’s lines around the mouth, prevention is everything. Make sure to ditch the cigarettes, straws and wear plenty of SPF. Sun exposure is going to expose the skin cells to damage and effect the appearance of fine lines. Keep the skin around the lips well hydrated.

Perhaps you haven’t been able to dodge these pesky lines, but fear not! Colair Beauty Lounge & Med Spa is here to help at whatever stage your fine lines may be at. We’ve got two very success options to treat lip lines. One being Restylane Silk, a injectable that smooths out the lines around your lips. It’s FDA-approved and made of hyaluronic acid, a substance that your body produces naturally.

Another option is our PRP Treatment. PRP stands for platelet-rich plasma and it’s an incredible treatment for all types of skin concerns, especially lip lines. How does it work? Our registered nurse draws your blood, separates the blood and then performs microneedling on the targeted areas. The PRP is applied to the face and absorbs into the face, increasing collagen production.

So if you’re suffering from smoker’s lines, or maybe just straw lines, Colair Beauty Lounge & Med Spa in Gilbert, Arizona can help. Come by for a free consultation with our RN, or give us a call at (480) 923-6138.

Ways to Look Younger for Your High-School Reunion

Few life events summon the need to look your best than a high school reunion. Seeing those friends and foes of your adolescent days, 10+ years after graduation, can be a tall order of stress to impress. At Colair Beauty Lounge & Med Spa, we’ve got solutions that not only help with all of your anti-aging desires, but provide results quickly. So, if your reunion is right around the corner and you’re in need of some magic to turn back the clock, here’s some suggestions. 

Botox: 

Truly, there isn’t anything better to tackle those fine lines and wrinkles than Botox. Not only is it extremely effective, easy to administer, but you’ll see results from Botox shortly after your appointment. If you’re main concern are lines and wrinkles, especially on your forehead, this is your best bet. 

PRP Facial: 

Maybe you’re just wanting to up your glow game? As we age, our skin can look a little dull and lifeless. Not what we’re wanting when we reunite with our high school sweetheart. Alas, our PRP Facial is the best way to not only achieve a glowing and youthful appearance, but it’ll also jumpstart your collagen production. 

Xeomin and Kybella:

Oh the cursed turkey neck. That bit of fat below the chin that you just can not shake. As we age, our double chin can take a serious turn for the worse, regardless of how well we eat or work out. Lucky for us, there’s a solution, Kybella. It’s injected under the chin, and unlike other injectables, it lasts! Once Kybella is administered it actually destroys the fat cells. Few things can fumble our big night out as much as frown lines. Even when we’re having the time of our life, frown lines can kill the vibe. Luckily, Xeomin, is an incredible treatment that blocks the release of certain chemicals that cause muscle contraction so the frown lines are softened.

Dermaplaning: 

If you’re in need of a seriously quick boost to your look, dermaplaning, a treatment that removes the dead skin from your face, is a great option. By scraping off those dull skin cells from your face, you’ll not only have a fast glow, but your skin care will be able to soak in more deeply, allowing more hydration.

Dysport: 

Perhaps you’re new to the world of injections and med spa services, and wanting to make a gentle jump into the anti-aging treatment game. Dysport is a fantastic option, not unlike Botox, it’s designed to address wrinkles and fine lines. Dyposrt has a quicker onset and usually doesn’t last as long as Botox, so you’ll be able to test the waters before making a more permanent choice.  

These are just a few options that can help you look your best for that high school reunion or any other big day. If you’d like to lean more about our anti-aging treatments, injectables or med spa services, please visit or call Colair Beauty Lounge & Med Spa at (480) 923-6138.
