Prior to important events many men and women reserve hair
and makeup styling services to ensure that they will look fabulous throughout
the entire day and night. Some highly suggest undergoing a hair and makeup trial
beforehand while others consider trials to be just another step to have to pay
and plan for. Continue reading to find out if you should schedule a hair and
makeup trial prior to the event or if you can just skip it.
Before deciding one way or another, there are several
crucial factors one should consider:
The Occasion
There are many different types of events that can require professional
hair and makeup artists. It’s probably best to book a trial if the event is a
wedding, music video, or other expensive and heavily photographed event. If you
plan on being styled for a girl’s night out or other semi-formal event, a trial
may not really be deemed as necessary.
Customer testimonials
You
can consider skipping a trial if the artists have a long list of customer
testimonials that speak highly of their services. Enough research into finding
a reliable and reputable hair and makeup artist can sometimes be all the preparation
you need.
The Location
At
times the location of where the event will be held is the only factor that
needs to be considered. If booking hair and makeup styling for a destination
wedding or birthday party abroad, travelling to the location for a trial
beforehand may simply not be possible due to time and budgetary restrictions.

While many pregnant women experience ‘the glow’ and overall
enjoyable pregnancies, many other women experience physical responses that
aren’t quite as pleasant. The extra work a women’s body has to manage during
this time can often have direct effects on the hair, skin, and nails (just to
name a few). Continue below as we discuss some of these changes and ways to
adjust a beauty routine around them.
Skin
It’s not uncommon for pregnant women to notice all types of
changes with their skin. Some of these changes, like acne and hyperpigmentation,
are only temporary but others, such as stretch marks, tend to be more
permanent.
The effects of hyperpigmentation can be minimized by
reducing sun exposure and increasing SPF whenever outdoors. According to WebMD,
spending as little as 15 minutes outdoors without sun protection can result in these
dark spots on the skin.
Nails
A mixture of prenatal vitamins and extra hormones often
cause fingernails and toenails to grow at quicker rates than normal. Depending
on the woman, this speedy nail growth can result in strong nails or brittle, splitting nails.
Your best bet against combatting weak nails is to always
take prenatals as directed, keep nails trimmed, and avoid nail polish and nail
polish remover.
Hair
Hormones rule all, especially hair! The fluctuation of
hormones during and after pregnancy can result in hair loss as well as hair
growth and changes in texture. Even though normal hair loss often slows down
during pregnancy, postpartum hair loss is completely natural as well. It’s also very common for hair to begin
growing in areas it never had before.
Moms-to-be can take comfort in knowing these changes are
also temporary ones. In most cases body hair will reregulate as the hormones
do, which is usually when breast feeding subsides. Avoid using harsh chemicals
on the hair whenever possible and consider waxing or threading incessant areas for
results that last longer than shaving.
Final Thoughts
These mostly temporary changes shouldn’t prohibit any woman
from enjoying herself and wanting to look and feel her best. The beauty
professionals at Beauty Studio Inc. Mobile Hair and Makeup in Las Vegas, NV
have the experience, tools, and skills needed to help anyone achieve the hair
and makeup look of their dreams. Head to our website for more information about

We all love changing our hair
styles from one to another and we all love to feel confident when looking in
the mirror. With the Thanksgiving holiday right around the corner, it’s a great
time to play around with your current hair style. From trying different
accessories to updating the cut and color of your hair, keep reading to
discover some of the trends to try.

Accessories
When it comes to accessories for
your hair there are a variety to choose from in order to suit every personal
style. Using statement headbands and cleverly placed hair pins are great for
sprucing up shorter hair. While claw clips and scrunchies are amazing for
putting longer hair into a bun to keep it out of your face during the Thanksgiving
feast.
Hair Styles
Whether you want a simple change
or a more drastic update, take this opportunity to exercise your creativity and
personal style. For simplicity, adding a curly or heavy bang can breathe new
life into your current style. If you’re ready for a more drastic change
consider a ’90s bob or a modern shag for effortless looking hair this
Thanksgiving season.

Hair Colors
With so many colors to choose
from, deciding on one to bring you through the holidays can be difficult;
however, there are a few which have a better life span. Whether you want a warm
red tone or cooler brunette, playing around with your hair color is a great way
to express yourself. Some color trends to keep in mind this season and into the
new year are copper reds, dirty brunettes, dark blondes, and faded pastels.
Bonus: Once you
know how you want your hair to look, why not pair it with a stunning makeup
look? Warm browns for the eyes and burgundy on your lips is a combo which
complements any hair color and style. If you have a more neutral hair color,
spice things up this Thanksgiving with a more vibrant makeup look.
Thoughts
Deciding on hair accessories,
hair color, and hairstyles all become easier with a reliable and experienced
team of beauty experts. Here at Beauty Studio Inc Mobile Hair and
Makeup, we have a talented team of stylists and makeup artists well

Your hair is your crowning glory. You take care of it by
washing and conditioning it, using the best styling products you know of to
achieve the look you desire, and maybe by throwing in a special treatment to
give your strands a boost in the right direction. You might know what products
to use for hair based on the styles from popular magazines and makeover shows,
but do you really know your hair and
what it truly needs? To better understand what you need for an impeccable head
of hair, you need to first understand your hair porosity. Then you should be
able to choose the best products for your individual needs.
What is hair porosity?
Porosity can be defined as your hairs ability to accept and
hold on to moisture. Moisture is everything if you want an amazing head of
hair. Without the proper moisture your delicate strands need, they can become
more prone to frizz, dryness, and breakage. When you understand your hair’s
porosity, you can choose the proper hair care products to create the perfect
do’ and enhance the health of your hair.
Types of Porosity
There are three types of hair porosity: Low, Normal, and
High. You can naturally have a particular type of porosity, but constant hair
manipulation can cause your hair to become more or less porous.
Low Porosity
Do you find yourself trying to saturate your hair with water
longer than most people? If you walk through a mist of water, do you see water
beaded up on your hair like flakes of snow? If so, then you most definitely
have low porosity hair. This hair type is prone to products sitting on top of
the hair instead of absorbing and tends to be on the drier side. This is due to
the fact that your hair cuticles lie flat and are not lifted to accept much
needed moisture. Oddly enough, your hair will take a long time to dry once it
is fully saturated with water. Why? Because once water is able to finally
penetrate the cuticle, the cuticle closes again trapping moisture.
Since this type of hair is the most delicate, it is
important for the person to hydrate properly. Using water-soluble products is
best and try to avoid heavy oils and products. Deep conditioning is a must for
a lush, hydrated head of hair so make sure you deep condition with heat (such
as with a hooded dryer, heat cap, etc.) to lift up your hair cuticles so the
conditioner can penetrate effectively.
Normal (Medium)
Porosity
If you have normal hair porosity, you are the envy of the
town! Your hair type can easily accept moisture and you can even cocktail the type
of products you use to suit your needs. The cuticles open and close easily when
they need to, so water and products can penetrate just fine. Your haircare
routine can change with the weather, so pay attention to your mane and give it
what it needs!
High Porosity
Does your hair soak up moisture and products like it’s never
soaked in them before? If so, your hair has high porosity, meaning your
cuticles tend to stay open. Using heavy products can weigh your hair down
quickly, so make sure to look for lightweight, silicon-free products to style
and care for your hair.
How to Find out Your
Porosity
Now that you know the general guidelines on hair porosity,
you might have an idea about which category your hair falls under. But to find
out for sure, there are a few different ways to perform a hair porosity test.
Some easy, popular ways to determine your porosity are the water shed test or
the hair strand test.
Water Shed Test
Wet a small section of hair with a spray bottle and watch how
the water reacts with the hair. Is it sitting on top? Then you have low
porosity hair. Is the water absorbed quickly? Then you have high porosity.
Water shed test
Hair Strand Test
Take a strand of hair and place it in a cup of clean water.
If it floats, it is of low porosity. If it sinks to the bottom, it is of high
porosity. If it floats to the middle, then it is of normal porosity.
Sometimes women have multiple types of hair porosity at
once. If you suspect this, use separate cups of water and pick strands of hair
from different sections of your head where textures seem to differ. This will
help you tremendously with figuring out which products best suit your needs.
Conclusion
As you can see, the styling regimen that works for one
person may not be the same for the next. In order to make that crown of yours
shine and thrive, you need to pick out the right products to suit your low,
normal, or high porosity needs. If you are looking for a knowledgeable hair
stylist to help tame your mane, make sure to call on the experts at Beauty
Studio Inc Mobile Hair and Makeup. Click here for more information!
Everyone knows that Las Vegas is hot – VERY hot. If you’re
planning on going outside, you need a hairstyle that works with the heat. Luckily,
there are many easy day-to-night hairstyles that anyone can manage. Try these
hassle-free hairdos that work well for your day on the strip and for your night
out at the clubs!
Braids
Day: Soft, loose
braids look playful and flirty, while also staying out of your face. After you
tie your braid, gently pull at it to make it messy and casual. Try one or two
French braids to add oomph to your style, or make it more elegant by doing a
classy fishtail. Glitter roots are trendy right now, so try adding some sparkle
by applying glitter to your roots and to the braid itself!
Night: All-day
braids are convenient because they make your hair nice and wavy once you untie them.
Before you take out the braid, run a curling iron over your hair to heat it up.
Then, remove the bands, flip your head upside down, and shake it out. Braids
give you easy, no-effort curls that are perfect for your night out!
Bun
Day: When
enduring the sweltering heat in Vegas, you don’t want to stress about your hair
sticking to the sweat on your neck. Instead, put it in a bun! Buns make you
look cute while also keeping your hair out of the way. Turn your head upside
down, gather your hair in a ponytail, and form a bun. Use bobby pins to secure it,
as hair ties will leave creases once you let your hair down.
Night: For this
easy hairstyle, let down your hair, apply dry shampoo, and gently brush. Your
hair should be voluminous from being up in a bun for hours. If you want to add
some curls, use a curling iron to touch up certain pieces of hair that frame
your face.
Curls
Day: Many people
opt for all-day curls that last till nighttime. This is especially great if
you’re planning on going to a day club and a nightclub. To make your curls last
the entire day, wash your hair and spray it with heat protectant before
curling. After you’re done curling your hair, shake it out and run your fingers
through the strands to create loose, luscious locks. Then, apply hair spray to
make it stay!
Night: Since your
hair is already curled, you don’t have to do much to style it. You can refresh
your look by using dry shampoo at the roots to eliminate sweat and oils. Or,
touch up some falling strands with the curling iron again. Put on your nicest
dress and you’re ready to go!
Conclusion
Las Vegas is where people come to look their best and to
have a great time. Thankfully, you don’t have to be a master hair stylist to
have beautiful looking hair. If you want to leave it to the professionals, call
on Beauty
Studio Inc. Mobile Hair and Makeup. Our mobile team of hair stylists
and makeup artists will come to you and make you look Vegas-ready!
The planning stages of your
wedding are extremely important. Everything from the makeup and hair to the
dress and venue have to be meticulously thought out so that you may sit back
and enjoy your big day without stress. If you’re still deciding on a hair
stylist, keep reading this blog to learn some ways to make the final decision.
Consider the Budget
When getting married, setting a
budget is one of the first things that should happen. Once a budget is decided
upon for hair and makeup, double check every one of your choice’s prices in
order to stay on target. Also consider looking into discounts from
stylists-in-training to help you stay within budget.

Consider Your Own Stylist
While looking at potential hair
stylists for your big day, consider using your usual guy or gal. If you’ve been
going to the same stylist for a while and trust them to make your hair amazing every
day, chances are, you can trust them for your wedding.
Ask Around
Don’t forget to ask your friends
and family for suggestions on hairstylists to use. This is a great way to get trusted
feedback on someone’s previous work as well as hear some reviews from people
you can rely on.
Check Out Their Work
If you want to start narrowing
down your list of potential candidates, be sure to take a look at their
portfolios to gander at their previous work; this will allow you to judge
whether or not their style matches your vision for your big day.

Work with Someone who Listens
You know you have picked the best
hair stylist for your wedding day when they listen and work with you. You
should be able to enjoy everything about your day from your makeup to your
chosen hair style.
Conclusions

wedding day where you look your best, taking the time to choose the right team
to help pull off your look can go a long way. The team at Beauty Studio Inc Mobile Hair and
Makeup would love to help you bring your wedding day look to life.
Has your hair been falling a little flat? Stress, weather, over-work, and tons of other things can all cause your hair to look lifeless. If you’ve been wanting to pull off those super-model quality hairstyles, then you need some volume. Your experts at Beauty Studio Inc Mobile Hair and Makeup have the guide for you for all the times you can’t come in and have one of our professionals do the work for you.
Change your Part
Before we get into the more complicated ways to add volume to your hair, there’s one easy fix that you’re probably not taking advantage of. Changing up the way you part your hair will switch up the natural desire of your hair to fall flat and boost those follicles to new heights.
Volume Starts in the Shower
The best way to add volume to your hair only requires a simple change in products. Swap out your usual shampoo and condition for volume adding ones. These add weight to each follicle, making them appear larger and fuller. Stick to clear products as they’re less likely to have fillers in them.
Dry shampoo is another smart way to add volume. For those days you’re not washing your hair, this can bring that volume. The powder clings to your roots and creates a strong base for your hair to stand up on.
Is it Hot in Here?
Heat is not good for your hair. When your hair is subject to too much heat, the natural oils and spring to your hair are cooked out of it. For those of you who blow dry your hair, this can be especially troublesome. Letting your hair air-dry or at least blow-drying it on cool, will give you natural volume while keeping your hair healthy.
Be Smart with Color
Color is a great way to add the appearance of volume without having to spend extra time getting ready every morning. Adding color to your hair can create a contrast between the dyed hair and your natural color. With this multi-dimensional look, be careful to not to over-bleach your hair as that will have the opposite of the effect you want.
Bringing volume to your hair is easier than you might have thought. With some serious height to your hair, you can pull off all of those amazing styles you’ve been wanting. When you need to make sure your hair looks flawless, leave it to our professional team at Beauty Studio Inc Mobile Hair and Makeup!
It’s the most wonderful time of the year! Parties, friend gatherings, and family dinners are about to take over your life, and you don’t want to look anything less than trendy! This is especially true for those Christmas parties where you’ll be captured in every photo angle possible. With our aid, however, you don’t have to worry as we’ve scoured all the rising trends for winter 2018 and found the best looks for you this holiday season.
Emeralds and Glitter
When the holidays come rolling around, there is a constant struggle between trying to have a festive look and not wearing red and green. While it’s true those two colors are complementary and festive, it can be a struggle to make them work cohesively when it comes to makeup. That is why one of the most popular looks of this year is green and silver, which lies in between being festive and still looking fabulous! Emerald shades paired with silver are making a blast in the beauty world with the greens staying in theme with the season while silver creates a pop of shine or glitter. Add a nude lip and you’re ready to go rock your office Christmas party!
Glow It Up!
Arm yourself with highlighters and glow-up materials because it’s the Bronze Age again! Having a glowing look is great for parties and get-togethers where you want a bit of extra attention. Keeping your eye shadow pallet primarily in neutral and gold tones with a defining bronzer and attention-grabbing highlighter is perfect for any high-energy party. Getting that dewy, golden glow is one of the top looks that is happening this season, especially during the holidays where the bright lights really make you shine! Finish the look with a light pink or red lip for some color, and your glow-up is ready.
Classic Never Goes Out
Now, this is for all the party-goers who, like us, have waited until the last minute for some Christmas makeup inspiration. If you ever find yourself in a pinch for a makeup look–not just during Christmas–remember these words: “When in doubt, cat-eye it out!” A classic cat-eye paired with a bold red lip is an undisputed staple of the beauty industry. This makeup look is so versatile, it can go with everything from holiday looks to a night out on the town. The red lip keeps you in tune with the festivities, and the cat-eye goes with nearly any outfit that you have in mind. Swoop on your favorite mascara to really show off your eyes and you’re all set.
Conclusion
The holiday season is perfect for showing off all of your beautiful features. Your natural beauty is your best accessory, and with the use of any of the aforementioned looks, your favorite features will really be on display. You’re guaranteed to be the center of attention at any event you attend, so pick your look and wear it with confidence
As if the last day of the year weren’t reason enough to look your best, this year’s New Year’s Eve trends are already rising to the top of glam diva’s to-do lists. You do not want to leave your look inspiration to the last minute, because the hottest parties and gatherings of the year will capture you from all angles.
We took a look at what trends everyone is raving about, and we selected the very best for you to get inspired. New Year’s is all about silver, gold, and glitter, but it can also serve as your moment to establish the new and better you. Be bold and daring, and ring in the New Year with these 2019 trends!
Natural Beauty
Natural beauty started to become a trend at the end of 2018, but how far will you take your commitment to love yourself flaws and all? Be the talk of the night showing up to your NYE plans with the bare minimum makeup look. That does not mean that you rolled out of bed and called it enough. The natural look is all about enhancing your best features and highlighting them for everyone to see how confident you are.
We recommend outlining your eyebrows right under the hairline to avoid adding more shape. Lightly stroke in between the hair follicles that look bare, to make your brows voluminous. Match the color of your cheeks with a non-glitter cream blush and use a non-glitter highlight over it for a dewy skin look. Add a nude lip that best matches your skin tone to give a non-chapped look. Two to three coats of mascara and you will look like a confident queen!
Party Princess
Who cares about the disco ball, when you are the belle of the ball? Too much glitter does not exist on New Year’s Eve, especially if your countdown will take place at the hottest party in town. Let yourself be known and strut into 2019 claiming your throne!
We suggest a glitter eye-shadow with the color of your choice, though you can never go wrong with disco ball silver. Don’t wing your look for the night, but do be fierce with your eyeliner wing. Let everyone know that the party does not start until you walk in, and let your wing be as long as your lashes. On that note, this is the perfect night to glue on your wildest eyelash extensions. We suggest ones with rhinestones on the waterline.
New Year’s Kiss
Everyone wants to get kissed when the ball drops and rings in the New Year. It gives you an exhilarating expectation of what’s yet to come. Make yourself irresistible with this look!
It’s all about the eyelashes and lips! Try a bright lipstick color like red, pink, or purple. Give yourself fanning luscious lashes with eyelash extensions or an ultra-volume mascara. This is an especially daring look if you’re attending a masquerade ball where only your eyes and lips will be visible!
Conclusion
Which look will you be approaching 2019 with? With plenty of time to prepare, you want to make sure that you know what your intentions are for the New Year. A glamorous and personality-matching look will be the perfect push that you need to motivate yourself for a “new year, new you!”
