Shellac Manicures Now Available at Pinup Salon!

May 15th, 2012

Love having pretty polished nails but hate how fast they chip? Well say goodbye to your everyday polish and hello to Shellac!

I’m sure by now you’ve heard the buzz about Shellac, but for those who aren’t quite in the know yet, here’s the deal: Shellac is a new polish that goes on the same way as regular polish, but it wears like gel nails. It’s as gentle as regular polish for your nails, removal takes just minutes and also leaves your natural nails unharmed! There is no dry time after your manicure has been completed, and Shellac will last 10 days-two weeks with no chipping! It also adds extra strength to your nails, allowing them to grow out more easily than when they are unpolished, and more vulnerable to the elements.

The trick to Shellac’s staying power is that it’s cured under a UV lamp. In between each layer of polish, we will cure your nails for 2 minutes, and after the top coat is all done, so are you, and you’re ready to walk out the door with 100% dry and ready for action nails. The Shellac topcoat also stays ultra shiny throughout the duration of your manicure, so no more dull looking nails 2 days after your manicure.

Because there is no drying time, an entire shellac manicure takes about 30 minutes, which is easy to squeeze into your processing time during a color, deep conditioning, or smoothing service. Through the end of May, we’re offering Shellac to first timers for only $10, when added on with any other service! You can’t beat that price, and we promise, you’ll be back for more. At only $35 regularly, this is still a great deal for a manicure that will survive easily 2 weeks before you’re ready for a redo. Plus, it’s a great excuse to treat yourself to some more Pinup company, along side a glass of wine while we pamper you. :)

Call your stylist and book your $10 Shellac this month. You won’t regret it!

$30 for 30 Minutes Dry Styling

December 12th, 2010

Now that you have invested in a some dust it for the holiday season, it is only fair that we show you some ways to make sure that your dust it sees some action!  There are plenty of lovely looks for each and everyone this holiday season – each eloquent and dazzling in their own right.  And with our darling deal of December – $30 for 30 minutes of styling – we can surely help you out with making your holiday updo dreams come to fruition; that is, as long as you supply the freshly washed hair.

The first classic holiday updo is the Chignon and the signature bun – a wonderfully slimming style for rounder faces, especially when coupled with a little extra volume at the crown, which we can do with the help of some Dust It!  The classic bun can even be given a little extra pizzaz by braiding the hair.

The classic french twist is another lovely way to go, and darn versatile, too.  It can flatter all face types as the volume is adjustable.  The look is classic, but can be freshened up with your own little additions of decorations or flowers – how about a small poinsettia for a holiday party? – or with volume variations.

Loose waves are always a great option for a classy and easy holiday style.  Equally as versatile as the french twist, loose waves can complement any face shape and always maintain a timeless appeal.

Spiral curls are also a lovely way to have beautifully stunning hair for your holiday gathering.  Timeless, classy and gorgeous – a few spirals can go a long way and make your hair the talk of the party.

Each of these looks can be made your own with a little work, and each can be complementing for your face type.  But no worries, we can make sure you have some lovely holiday hair that will make your fellow guests jealous.  Just give us a call.  After all – $30 for 30 minutes of styling is a darn good deal.
