Malibu Season is Here!
It has taken long enough to get here, but believe it or not, it is that time of year again: Summer! Soon enough, you’ll be lounging around the pool. While you probably cannot wait to be lying out, something that you might be fearing is your summer hair.
After some time in the pool and sun, you’ll start noticing your hair is not styling the way you like it. You may even notice the color is feeling rather dull and heavy. It might even have shades of green in it from chlorine residue. If this happens to you, it is time to come into Elle and get a Malibu Hair Treatment to turn your dull hair back to fabulous!
And, here’s the best news! A Malibu Treatment treatment not only removes chlorine, but any other build up you may have such as hard water, hair product, and water softeners. Anytime you start noticing a coppery or brassy hue in your hair, it most likely is from hard water that contains iron. All water contains chemical and minerals which in turn change the color and texture of your hair. You can be using all the right products, but the build up remains in your hair. Frustrating, right?
Products will not work up to their potential unless you have a clean hair. Build up of unwanted residue can cause damage overtime, and the best way to remove all unwanted built up is to visit our stylists at Elle. A Malibu Treatment is a quick and cost efficient service that can make all the difference to your luscious locks. After a Malibu Treatment, blondes will feel brighter and brunettes will feel lighter. You’ll instantly feel fresh.
How does it work? The Malibu Treatment is worked through the hair to ensure saturation. Then you will relax under the hair dryer which will open the cuticle of the hair allowing the treatment to draw out all of the impurities, chemical build up, and product residue. Next, the treatment will be shampooed out using our favorite clarifying shampoo, UNITE Weekender and also conditioned with a treatment suitable for your needs. Finally, you will be treated to a blow-dry style from one of our Elle stylists.
Something else to consider is that a Malibu hair treatment is highly recommend right before any professional hair coloring. The Malibu Treatment will remove all buildup and make it easier for the color to grab a hold of your hair without the trouble of fighting through the unwanted build up. At Elle, we recommend coming in every 8-10 weeks for a Malibu Treatment.
Get your hair ready for the summer weather, and come in for a Malibu Treatment with an Elle stylists. You won’t regret it and your hair will thank you.

Problem skin? We got that covered!
We all have issues with our skin. For some of us, it might just be one giant pimple right in the middle of our face. For others, a couple blackheads or rosacea could be causing us stress. No matter what your problem is, we have great news for you! Here at Elle, we have the perfect product to give you that flawless, sun-kissed look.
It’s important to invest in quality makeup in general. However, when you have problem skin quality makeup is critical. GloMinerals is not just a great solution, it’s really the only solution. At Elle, we know that GloMinerals nourishes your skin and leaves your face feeling lightweight. It never clogs your pores or irritates your skin. If you haven’t already done so, invest in some of their products so you no longer have to hide your face behind other cakey makeup.
Not sure where to start? Here’s what we used on our beautiful model pictured below:
GloMinerals Hydration Mist: What really sets GloMinerals apart from all the other makeup brands is their Hydration Mist. It contains a mixture of vitamin A, C, E, and green tea extract, and leaves your skin looking radiant. It makes you look and feel refreshed. We began our model’s makeup with a burst of hydration to prep her skin and help her feel moisturized.
GloMinerals Face Primer: If you have a lot of bumps on your face like our model, it is especially important to use a face primer. This will give your makeup a smoother texture than if you simply applied it to your naked skin. It helps give your skin a soft, satin texture and allows the rest of your makeup to glide on with ease.
GloMinerals Liquid Foundation: We chose to use a liquid foundation on our model because it gives great coverage without feeling heavy or cakey. This product will definitely take care of any problem issue you are having with your skin, and the best part is that a little bit of this miracle product goes a long way. It looks and feels weightless and gives your skin an airbrushed finish.
If you want to add these or other GloMinerals products into your daily routine, come into Elle and get set up with the perfect product for your skin. And, don’t be discouraged if you’re unsure how to apply them. Any of the Elle girls can give you a few pointers or you can make an appointment for a makeup lesson. Give us a call or stop in to give your skin a fresh start!
