Stumped on choosing the right tweezers for your needs? A few helpful tips will help you make the right decision. If you are new to tweezing (or just may not completely trust yourself when it comes to plucking delicate hairs on your face or bikini) Slant tweezers are flat, giving you a chance to slip it under the hair and even pluck mulitple hairs at once (not too many, or you will lose your shape!) Point tweezers provide the ultimate precision, but they are the sharpest of the tweezers – so pluck with care! These are ideal for an esthetician working on someone else’s brows. Tweezerman also provides the Pointed Slant, which is the best of both worlds – easy handling of Slant with precision of Point.
No matter which you choose, rest assured that all Tweezerman purchases come with a lifetime guarantee and FREE sharpening. If your purchase should ever be determined defective, it is replaced for free. If they have become dull through regular use, they will be sharpened for free (no processing fees – you are only responsible for shipping and handling) as long as the item is able to be resharpened. Should your tweezers break, you can have them repaired for $5 (plus S&H) as long as they are able to.

Tanning
Feb 10, 2012
New to sunless tanning? Already a seasoned expert? Fall somewhere in between?
Fear not, as Beauty Company is here to explain all the ins-and-out of spray tanning to you. At Beauty Company we exclusively do a customized, one-on-one application for each client. Our extensively trained experts walk you through your whole service (ranging from 15-30 minutes) to ensure you’re comfortable the entire time. Read below for more information.
Before your service:
Come with your skin showered, shaved & exfoliated. It is recommended to shave and exfoliate between 48-24 hours ahead of time, NOT the day of (your skin will be more supsebtible to irritation).
Day of your service:
Use no lotions, moisturizers deodarants or makeup (if you were wearing these earlier in the day, just remove them before you spray tan). Any topical solutions can act as a barrier between your skin and the solution. You want your skin as clean, dry and natural as possible.
Wear dark, loose-fitting clothing (you will be more comfortable when you leave) and flip flops – you do not want to put your feet in regular shoes right away (this could streak your feet!).
During your service:
Your spray tan artist is an experienced professional. It’s normal to feel shy, but our expertly-trained ladies will put you to ease in no time! First you will undress. Some people prefer to go nude, while most wear disposable G-string panties (available complimentary at Beauty Company). Some people wear a bikini bottom. Please do whatever your comfortable with, but remember the tan line will be dramatic – you may not want a completely pale derrière!
Next you will place a plastic cap over your hair and step into the tent. The artist will direct you (when to turn to the side, the back, how to move your arms, etc). The solution dries quickly and has a lovely smell, and you will be completed with the actual spray in roughly 10 minutes or less. The spray tan artist will gently guide you through the positions, so there is no room for error. Please don’t touch anywhere on yourself – you may streak your tan. Let the artist guide you as directed.
After the spray is done, the artist will leave the room so you can redress. Take your time and come downstairs to checkout when your ready.
After your service:
Wait to shower for at least 6 hours. You will begin seeing color, but it develops over time so let it soak in as long as possible. You will rinse some of the bronzer off in your first shower after your spray tan, but lasting color will remain for 5-7 days.
Keep in mind the more you shower, exfoliate, exercise, sweat, swim, etc. will all affect the life of your tan. Gently exfoliate (with a loofah or washcloth) in the shower to keep your tan nice and even. If any areas begin to fade quicker than others, exfoliate the darker areas until everything matches.
Most of all, enjoy your beautiful glow! Maintain as often as desired.
