Going Naked...
Did we catch your attention?! Good!
We love this beauty trend that seems simple enough, but makes a bold statement. “Going Naked,” can mean different things to different artists. We embrace the “less is more” mentality when trying to achieve this look. Truth is though, this trend is also about a feeling, rather than just a stylized hair and makeup look. When a woman feels beautiful with “less fuss,” it is a win in our book! So, today we want to share some of our favorite products, that are truly “fuss proof” and you do not have to be a pro to master “Going Naked!”
“I love to challenge clients to step out of their comfort zone and try something new with their hair. Products today, have made it easier than ever to try a look you’ve long admired on others. My best advice is; try, try, try. TRY new tools and products. Let’s challenge ourselves to get out of that daily rut…you know, the one we call, “routine.” - Jess
Waves for Days….
If you have wavy or curly hair, you know, the less you “mess” with it, the prettier the curl pattern and movement. Here are some of my favorite products and tools to achieve waves that you’ve been coveting.
Perfect or Create
Whether you have waves or always wanted waves, the Amika: High Tide Deep Waver, is quite possibly the easiest tool to use! No experience needed, trust me!
Wavy & Curly Hair
Easily activate and define curls while hydrating hair. Moroccanoil® Curl Defining Cream is an argan oil-infused curl definer.
Straight Hair, Don’t Care (care-free that is!)
Straight hair can seem easier to manage than curled locks, but the straighter the strand, the more you may need help with frizz or volume. You can still air-dry straight tresses, you just need a little “oomph” when it comes to product selection.
Gold Lust Nourishing Hair Oil by Oribe
marie claire describes is best…Dubbed liquid gold (and rightfully so), this hair oil is infused with extracts like sandalwood, jasmine, and edelweiss flower, which work to deeply condition and repair damaged and brittle strands.
Healthy Air Dry Mousse
is a lightweight, non-aerosol air drying mousse that helps tame hair and prevent frizz. It provides an easy, no heat necessary, tousled look, and is ideal for enhancing natural texture.
“The naked face begins and ends with amazing skin. The only other accessories are some lashes and a great glossy lip!” - Chris
It’s All About That Face…

Charlotte says…”Darlings, my Hollywood Flawless Filter is a customizable complexion booster with the versatility of a primer, the mega-watt glow of a highlighter, and the perfecting properties of your favourite digital filter.

AMBIENT™ LIGHTING BRONZER by HOURGLASS

Sunkissed Skin, Luminous Finish
This is similar to the HOURGLASS product…but it’s a fave of ours in the “Beauty Saver” category! Afterall, when you want #allthethings sometimes it is nice to find wallet-friendly options!
