DIY Body Scrub and Body Oil.

We had the best time at our first Friday event a few weeks back! We invited Hush Beauty Labs to the GSL to do a DIY Beauty Bar Workshop on how to create your own DIY body scrub and body oils. Walking us through how to pair fragrances and the steps needed to create your own formulas, each guest made their own personalized Hush products. The Hush experts were great teachers and taught us all about the importance of all natural body oils and scrubs.

Each guest was able to choose between a body oil or body scrub! They then picked out their fragrances and put together each creation by hand. Good vibes were filling up the Glamifornia Style Lounge as smells and concoctions were being blended and mixed. From Bum Body Scrubs to Sugar Body Scrubs, each guest created a variety of smells. One of our favorite scents was the Vanilla Black Jasmine!

Check out some photos from the event. Interested in joining us next time? Email info@glamifornia.com to sign up for our next Hush DIY Beauty Bar Workshop!

Fast hair cuts and the Furious anyone? My daughter can’t stand sitting for a haircut if it’s longer than 45 minutes. Does anyone else have kids who hate long hair cuts? No matter how much older she gets, my daughter has hated getting her hair cut. She loves the finished look but doesn’t have the patience to sit through a haircut. The last time she was in the Glamifornia Style Lounge, she had moved back from England and hadn’t had a haircut in six months. She wanted a haircut before she moved up to San Francisco to start a new job but she wanted it done fast!

A fast hair cut is no easy task. You have to clean the hair, comb out the knots, and create a visual design in your mind. This time my daughter came to the salon, we made a bet to see if I could wash, cut, blow-dry and style her hair in under 30 minutes! We set up her DJI Osmo camera to record the appointment and here are the results!

Read her full blog post here, and book in your quick wash, cut and blow dry appointment on your next lunch break! We promise to deliver expert results without taking up too much of your time!

Can you believe it’s only four months until December? Neither can we. While we made the most of this summer spending (almost) everyday at the beach and attending the best summer parties, that means our hair is dry and fried. Salt water and sun damage can take out the natural oils from our hair and dry out the ends leaving them wispy. Smoothing treatments will give you an easy transition from summer to fall! Continue that summer feeling with mermaid hair that lasts till Christmas!

Knowing our clients and their every need, the Glamifornia Style Lounge now has an expert in-house that focuses on natural smoothing treatments and keratin based smoothing treatments. Derlyne is an experienced professional who has travelled all over the United States rescuing hair one treatment at a time. As a top educator from Emmediciti, a high-end fashion forward Italand brand, she is making her debut in Malibu.

Each treatment is bespoke to the client’s hair. The benefits make client’s life easier at follow up appointments because it means faster blow dries, less damage from heated hair tools like straightening irons, and fewer knots and tangles! Derlyne will decide what treatment is right for you. Keratin treatments help smooth out frizz from curly and straight hair without damaging the natural wave or style. Unlike the Keratin straightening treatment, we also offer all natural treatments for those who want to stay organic.

Just check out this before and after from our last client!

Great, right? Call (310) 456-8459 to set up a consultation and appointment with Derlyne. She is unlike any one in Malibu for hair smoothing treatments!

Charles Manson was once at the Glamifornia Style Lounge.

It began back in the 1930s, when Malibu was nothing more than a strip of sand. It was an area largely inaccessible until 1929 when Pacific Coast Highway was built. A man named Frederick Rindge owned most of the land. After he died, his widow was forced to subdivide, and in 1926, as homes began to appear, it became known as Malibu Colony. Mrs. Rindge lived in what is now known as the Adamson House and employed 100 people in a small ceramic tile factory. It was ravaged by fire in 1931.

It was such a burgeoning burg that newspaper magnate William Randolph Hearst considered building an estate in the area but in 1936 decided against it. An area that was beginning to grow, like any town in the wild west, also needed law enforcement, and so in 1932, construction on a courthouse began.

Originally a single story building, it grew to meet the demands of the expanding town, and soon included a sheriff’s station and a holding cell. The residents of that cell could have included John Dillinger, Bugsy Siegel, and Meyer Lansky. In later years, Charles Manson and his followers could have been housed there.

The courthouse and its jail cell served Malibu until 1990 when it was vacated. But the building got a new lease on life when it became individual spaces for rent.   Guess whose business occupies the part of the Old Malibu Courthouse that also includes that jail cell? My Glamifornia Style Lounge.

It’s one of our many claims to fame. We’re part of history and we’re making history daily. Come see for yourself.

Stopping at Nobu in Malibu for lunch? Stop in for a skin treatment or hair braiding session with Derlyn, our newest Glamifornia Goddess. She specializes in hair extensions, smoothing treatments and creates the most intricate braids.

Summer sizzle is all about looking hot! If you’re feeling a little tired or hungover from the night before, freshen up with one of our IV eyepatches. Just like an IV without the needles and drip, these eyepatches fuel your body with depleted nutrients that will cause your skin to look dull and dry.

Glamifornia is open six days a week. We offer services in the salon and we also offer our beauty concierge which means we come to you! Email info@glamifornia.com or call 310-456-8459 to book. We look forward to meeting new clients who are on day trips to Malibu as well as our familiar local friends!

See you this Hot Summer!

What is Microneedling?

For damaged or aged skin, it can be hard to find a skincare routine or treatment that shows dramatic results. Acne scarring, wrinkles, and other irritations can be hard to get rid of.  Microneedling uses small needles to cause acute punctures in the skin which help induce collagen. The treatment is not too invasive or painful. The point of the tiny punctures is to trigger your skin to create new collagen and elastin which improve skin texture and firmness. It also reduces scarring, sun damage, ageing, dark spots, pore size, and stretch marks.

To get the best results, each client should go between 4-8 times in order to see the most effective results. Once you have gone several times, the results are long lasting. Each procedure is normally twenty minutes and takes up to 48 hours to recover completely. Although you can go back to work without a worry the next day.

Each treatment is lead by a specialist doctor, nurse or practitioner. Sometimes a topical ointment is used in combination for a numbing affect. Our Microneedling therapist Misti Barnes uses a special technique along with stem cells to induce major healing effects. Mesenchymal cells communicate with damaged tissues and coordinate repair and healing.

While most microneedling is done by using a Dermaroller and a Microneedling pen, Misti uses a special process that doesn’t tear your skin or cause additional causing. This treatment is a lot less invasive and gives great results!

While your skin will look red and flushed, this is a normal sign that the treatment is working. This discoloration will fade after a few days. Make sure to use SPF 30 every day for at least two weeks (you should always wear SPF so this is extra important!). Make sure to continue on with any normal skincare routines for the most effective results.

Microneedling at GSL

Now taking appointments at the Glamifornia Style Lounge is Certified Collagen Restoration Therapist Misti Barnes of Ideal Beauty Skin Clinic. Misti Barnes will walk you through the procedure, aftercare, and best plan to achieve the result you wish.

To book, email info@glamifornia.com or call the Style Lounge at (310) 457- 8459.

Cheers to young looking skin!

Brows Are Major Players.

Eyebrows are a key feature on everyone’s face. Not only do they shape your face, but they also protect your eyes to keep your vision clear. Eyebrows are used for nonverbal communication and help express emotions such as shock or anger. Although we are all blessed with eyebrows of different colors and shapes, today there are a handful of beauty treatments to shape, tint, and fill in missing gaps.

New at the Glamifornia Style Lounge is the beauty technique called microblading. Micoblading is a multi-treatment form up tattoo artistry that places pigment on the brow ridge to look like hair strokes. Unlike getting a tattoo where artists use tattoo guns, microblading is done through a smaller handheld tool. Another difference is that microblading does not put pigment as deep into the skin as a normal tattoo.

While microblading does not need much preparation, there are a few things you do need to know before booking in:

• Avoid taking any blood thinners or drinking a lot of alcohol up to one week before a treatment.
• Although some people are sensitive to minute pain, for most the treatment is not that painful. Most professionals use topical numbing creams and ointments to help with any discomfort.
• Similar to lash extensions, this process is not rushed. Prepare to give a few hours for the full treatment.
• Micoblading is a multi-treatment process.

Aftercare is very important after the treatment. Stay clear of water or over-perspiring and do your best to avoid scratching or wiping your face. Eyebrows may appear to be inflamed, but this is natural. They also may appear darker than expected, but the color will fade naturally.

Microblading is now available at the Glamifornia Style Lounge. Email info@glamifornia.com to find out more or book in.

Get your nails ready for Spring!

The non-toxic nail polish that is changing the way we treat our nails has arrived at the Glamifornia Style Lounge. Combining the philosophy of beautiful nails with a healthy base – the brand was formed as Base Coat XX. The x’s represent your ten fingers and ten toes!

The promise to keep healthy nails is not compromised in  way for Base Coat Nail Salon. Their custom formulas, scrubs, creams, and oils are all vegan-friendly, scented with essential oils, and use plant based preservatives. They never use harmful chemicals that will dry out, damage, or irritate the nail bed or the surrounding skin.

Base Coat Nail Salon has a full range of nail care products. From bold colors to nail polish remover that doesn’t dry out your skin, everything about this product line has been carefully curated to make happy customers.

“Our Base Coat nail polish is long-wearing and 8-Free of the most toxic ingredients known to cause health problems including cancer, asthma and even neonatal death.”

The Glamifornia Style Lounge has a selection of eight different colors. From pale blues and creamy pinks to dark reds, we are sure you will find a color that matches your style. 

Do you have good denim jeans? No, not the ones you were born with! And, no, not the stretchy legging ones either. We are talking about the real, good, denim jeans. The ones that hug your butt, go with every sweater and can be worn all year round. Denim has been around for decades. This March, we are bringing denim back with a 1970’s flare.

To celebrate March’s First Friday, we are hosting a fashion trunk show at the Glamifornia Style Lounge from 4- 8 pm. We will be showcasing Deborah Lindquist’s Urban Nomad collection which has eco-couture dresses, skirts, scarves, and jackets. Gabriel Orozco, a Bespoke Tailor, will be creating jean remixes and fitting vintage jeans to each person. Browse through the collection, slip into something sexy, and be who you want to be.

The original Madflowers scent is a carefully curated scent that was made to ignite the senses. An arousing blend of Hawaiian Kukui nut, macadamia nut, rose hips, Hawaiian plumeria and a few other ingredients create the unique scent. Mixed with henna leaf powder and a shimmering gold, the Madflowers Body Bronzer stains the skin a dark bronze while creating a scent that relaxes and chills out the mind and body.
Using a mixture of different oils, the Madflowers Body Bronzer is made to be massaged and rubbed into the skin. For Henna stains to work, the essential oils need to be rubbed in evenly and then patted dry to avoid stains from excess. The smell brings us back to tropical mornings spent on the beach, oiling up your body before the sun is at its highest point. That memory became so relaxing for us at Glamifornia, and we decided to share it with you.

Although we wish we could spend everyday tanning at the beach, we decided to bring that smell and oily pleasure of lathering up your body in sun tan oil into the house. We created candles using the same oils and scents, this time without the henna. Each candle comes in a vintage glass from England, Italy or elsewhere. The glasses have been collected from around the world by Terah Tidy.

Each candle melts down into oil which you can rub on your body. Make sure to get the full details from a Glamifornia Expert before purchasing. As each candle burns down, do not fret. You can refill your candle at the GSL! Just give your empty candle glass to Terah and she will order your refill for you.

Defining Art.

Glamifornia was created to capture the inspiration that pours out of California. Growing up in California, we are surrounded by talented people who are working on, creating, or chasing their dreams.

The Glamifornia Style Lounge is not like any other hair salon. The GSL is a creative space for all types of artists to come and share their work or perform their services. Our walls are ever changing, featuring new work from artists in all different mediums. Gracing the walls of the GSL for the next couple weeks are two abstract faces by artist Dalia Kantor.

Born in Isreal to a family of artists, Kantor was surrounded by inspiring people who motivated her to be creative. After moving to South Florida, Kantor’s art blossomed. The artist’s work was featured in many exhibitions, art shows, and gallery representations.  With much success, Kantor’s art is now featured around the world. In collaboration with Flower & Hewes Gallery in Malibu where the art was selected, we are proud to be showcasing this vibrant and colorful collection.

Having an internationally known artist who lives and breathes creativity on the walls of the lounge is the essence of Glamifornia. Each piece is for sale and can be purchased at the Glamifornia Style Lounge in Malibu, California. Email info@glamifornia.com to enquire about size, price, and other details.

Beach waves by day, rocker bangs by night.

You know the feeling you have when you cut bangs and instantly regret it? Or what about the feeling when you cut bangs and didn’t realize it was a marriage with your needy nightmare hair? Hair stylists have been using clip in bangs and tape in extensions to create short bangs and wispy fringes on celebrities like Kendall Jenner and Bella Hadid. The hairdo is easy to replicate with clip on bangs. It’s also hassle and commitment free, which means you can rock multiple looks in a day. Thank goodness for hair extensions.

There are a lot of different options when it comes to hair extensions. You can get weaves, glued in, wefts, single strand, clip on, tape in, and more. Although it is best to pick a technique that works with your hair style, trend, and type, tape hair extension is popular because they are easy to apply. Using double or single-sided polyurethane tape, a weft is applied to the hair once the backing has been removed. Pulling the hair upwards, another weft is applied to the bottom, allowing for hair to be on both sides. It’s great for people with thin hair who are looking for that extra hair volume and thickness.

Tape in hair extensions takes 45 minutes to 60 minutes to apply. No heat or tools are needed to apply which makes it the easiest and fastest of all the hair extension techniques. Taped extensions distribute even weight on to the hair causes little to no damage. Although tape in extensions is reusable, we advise that you not use silicone based products or wash your hair frequently. This could cause the tape to wear down and cause the extensions to slip.

Call to book your appointment.

For more information on how you can get your hair styled with tape in extension call Terah Tidy at (310) 456-8459.

Get a Malibu Tan in less than 30 minutes.

In our eyes, winter in California is probably the most beautiful time of year. The air is crisp and the beautiful water of the Pacific Ocean is a deep blue. However much we love winter, it doesn’t guarantee the warm sunny days that we are used to having all year round.  Most of us can’t stand when the temperature drops below 60, so we stay bundled up in comfortable sweaters and dare we say uggs?

If you are like us, your skin is lacking warmth, a  malibu tan and glow. Instead of waiting it out for summer, we are introducing an airbrush tanning and spray tans at the Glamifornia Style Lounge. Malibu has a couple of spray tanning facilities in Malibu but none are as easy and quick as spray tans at the GSL. Our specialists have matched the color you get when tanning on the beach in Malibu. Airbrush tanning is a safer alternative to UV sun exposure and tanning beds. When skin is overexposed to harsh UV rays, your skin can tire out, dry out, and make you look older. So let’s tan smartly people!

Every Tuesday, we will be offering spray tanning treatments and offering a free Madflowers Mini Body Bronzer to help with the upkeep of your tan. Madflowers Body Bronzer is a malibu tanning oil that is made of essential oils and natural scents. It contains henna which is a natural self-tanner. The oils help keep your skin moisturized while smelling good. Sometimes spray tans can have an interesting smell (the way the chemicals react to your skin – sounds worse than it is!).  Use Madflowers products to cover the smell with beautiful essential oil scents.

Spray Tanning Questions

How much does spray tanning cost?

Depending on quality, spray tans cost between $85-$150. Glamifornia spray tanning packages cost $85 per single session. Package prices are available upon request here.

How long does a spray tan last?

Spray tans last between five and ten days depending on aftercare. Spray tans only affect the outer layer of your skin which is why all tans even natural ones, fade easily. The more you exfoliate, the faster your tan will fade.  If you take care of your spray tan, you can extend its shelf life.

How does a spray tan work?

Spray tans work because of the unique chemistry between the ingredients in the spray tan products and the skin cells on your body. The ingredient Dihydroxyacetone (DHA) turns your skin bronze and brown as the light mist is applied. Spray tans work by an expert airbrushing or spraying a mist of the tanning potion around your body. Many people opt for wearing paper underwear, but that is up to you.

What are the benefits to spray tanning?

We like spray tanning as it provides a nice base tan to work off of. If you spray tan regularly, you can build up a natural bronze color without spending time laying in the beds or in direct sunlight. We combine Madflowers Body Bronzer because the combination is a great way to build a base tan. Especially in the early spring months when the sun starts to warm up and we get unexpected beach days, it’s smart to be tan and prepared. No one wants to see a pale winter bod!

How long does it take for a spray tan to develop?

Spray tans normally develop between 12-24 hours. It is recommended to get a patch test before a spray to try colors and tones if you have never tanned before. We recommend to start light and build your base tan up before experimenting with darker tones. Remember that spray tanning darkens and can develop over 24 hours after initial application. Have patience!

Spray Tan Tips

1. Wear dark clothes to your appointment. Spray tans normally don’t bleed once they dry, but it’s better to be safe than sorry.
2. Shower ahead of your appointment. We recommend not showering for as 8+ hours after a spray tan to avoid rubbing off the tan! For your first shower, avoid using body soaps and exfoliating.
3. Don’t wear lotions, deodorants,  face cream on the day of your tan.
4. If you have sensitive skin, consult with the expert beforehand.
5. Start light and work your way to a darker tan!

We welcome walk-ins but we strongly recommend booking. Call the Glamifornia Style Lounge at (310)457-8459 or email info@glamifornia.com. Alternatively, you can fill out our online form here.

And the award for Best Hair goes to.

Pulling from the greatest fashion houses and publications in the business, we have put together a summary of our top three hair favorite styles that will be popular for 2017. Although we have not seen a lot of change in variation of color, there is a lot more focus on warmth and chic styles amongst are trendiest celebrities. Kim Kardashian has been rocking the Cher hair, Kylie has gone back to brunette, Selena Gomez and Kendall Jenner are sporting the choppy bob, and Bella Hadid looks effortless in a tight bun. While some of our favorite celebrities signature hairstyles cause fashion waves. Here are the three styles we think will be the trendiest for 2017.

High Pony

The High Pony is making a comeback. With perfectly shaped brows and highlights and contouring, the high pony draws attention to the face and accentuates the cheekbones. Rock a messy ponytail or a sleek one with smokey eyes or a natural glow for a complete look.

Straight and Clean Cut

This look has been incredibly popular on models and on the catwalk. Featuring a middle part, this hair shows off shiny straight locks perfectly trimmed to keep a straight line. Best on long hair, this chic look is retro and modern at the same time. Once blowdried and straightened, this look is easy to maintain. Thank goodness for the use of dry shampoo! Make a statement with this look next time you’re out on the town.

Golden Bronde

Adding a little warmth into your hair creates the perfect amber glow and honey look that is perfect for summer. Shorter length hair looks soft and shines bright. Transition from dark roots to a honey highlight or maintain a yummy golden bronde that gets lighter naturally.

Nail art worthy for a museum.

Glamifornia is always on the hunt for the latest trends and creations from artists in Los Angeles and around the world. By bringing you our daily inspiration, you too can stay on top of fashion trends and feel inspired to create new looks. Your style is expressed through every pair of shoes, glasses, hairstyle, handbags, nails, and more. While last year’s trends focused on nudes, shape and length, this year we predict nail art will be about craft! Creative color combinations, textures, patterns and artists illustrations will paint nails of celebrities and fashionista.

Neon/Nude French Tip

Adding a gentle splash of color is a subtle statement look that we are obsessed with for spring. While longer nails are beautiful, they can be tough to maintain. This nail style makes shorter and medium length nails look sophisticated but bright. Perfect for spring, we can’t wait to try different shades of neon pink, orange, blue, and yellow for this manicure.

Color Highlights and Features

Add a playful element to your nails with color highlights and features. Pick a wide range of colors or a pair and alternate highlighting the nail tips and base. You can really get creative with your colors so you don’t have to spend hours at the nail salon trying to decide on a color. We also think using color in a traditional french tip would look cool with one color or a different color for every nail.

Marble Patterns and Metallic Decor

There is something about marble that is so pure and clean looking. We adored the marble phone cases and laptop skins, so it was no doubt that we were going to look this marble pattern for nails! Whether you opt for two nails or all of your nails in this pattern, chances are it will look good. Metallic stripes are another trend we have been seeing more lately. Add one or two stripes per nail for the ultimate look.

Stranger Things

Funky and unusual patterns that show patterns that look like planets, crystals, tie dye and the galaxies are the real show stoppers. With incredibly detail and technique, these nails are for those looking to do something different. Patterns can work on long and short nails.  You can also choose to do a pattern on only half of the nail, which is a nice effect.

Rain Drop, Drop Top

Although we can’t imagine Migos getting this manicure, we thin the name is appropriate. Gentle dots at the base of the nail is an elegant detail that would work for special occasions and affairs. Pairing two contrasting colors, this manicure is regal. Use neutral tones and oval shaped nails for the best results.

Valentine’s Day

Valentine’s Day is right around the corner. It’s that special time a year when cheeks are rosy and smiles are big because love is in the air. Glamifornia is promoting love, lust, and lingerie for the month of February, with special events tailored to make you feel warm and fuzzy. While we know the 14th will be the special night, be sure to treat yourself in the weeks leading up to the big V-day.

First Friday Event

Our First Friday events are the perfect gathering of Malibu and Los Angeles locals mixed with local brands, new artists, performers, seminars and more. January’s First Friday event featured chai, yoga, sound, and health themes discussions to help focus in on your intentions for the new year. For February, we will be curating an evening filled with sweet treats, late night delights, sexy lingerie, valentine’s gifts for her, valentine’s gifts for him, and more.

Glamifornia’s First Friday event at the Glamifornia Style Lounge in Malibu, California took place earlier this month. Hosted by Terah Tidy and Malibu/Topanga local Ashley Norris, the event kicked off the year with a group-led discussion on goals and intentions. The evening also featured sound yoga, a wellness treatment that relaxes the mind and body through sound and yoga movements.

The event was featured in the Malibu Surfside News! It is a great write up. If you missed the event and want to learn more, be sure to read the full article on the Malibu Surfside News’ website.

Although California is the state of endless summer, the winter months can give you dull and pale skin. That is why we recommend using this quick and easy DIY face tanning lotion for added color and warmth. Using a combination of our sister brand’s high-end essential oil products,  you can bring some color and brightness back into skin.

Madflowers

If you aren’t familiar with Madflowers, you are missing out! Madflowers is an all-natural and organic essential oils collection made in Malibu, California. Using the finest ingredients to tickle the senses, Madflowers combines touch and smell together in four one-of-a-kind products.

DIY

First take some Madflowers Face Dew and put it on the top of your hand. Next, you will want to take a small amount of Madflowers Body Bronzer and mix this into the Face Dew. Make sure that you shake your Madflowers Body Bronzer before use to mix the henna stain with the soft oil. To avoid streaks, this step is essential! One combined, apply small amounts to your face, neck, and chest. Rub into the skin in circular motions and pat dry. This is the best self-tanner for your face and upper chest area. This self-tanning lotion is incredibly soft and light. Unlike other face tanning lotions, your skin will have a natural look that complements your skin color. You can also use this under your foundation and makeup!

If you have oily skin, make sure to splash your face with cold water before applying. This will close your pores so it doesn’t absorb excess oil and irritate your skin.

For other parts of the body, use Madflowers Body Bronzer on clean skin. Be care when applying near light colors or whites! Henna stains! To avoid any messes, make sure to dab your body dry with a dark towel before getting dressed.

Liquid lip stains became one of the most popular makeup trends this year. From Kylie Jenner’s exclusive Lipkits to Kat Von D’s sexy collections, lip stains became popular for their easy use and long lasting effects. However, even the best lip stains can dry out your lips leaving them looking exhausted. With New Year’s Eve fast approaching, we at Glamifornia want your lips looking their best for that special new year’s kiss.

In the days before the new year, make sure your lips are hydrated, protected, and polished. Keeping them moisturized and protected from the harsh sun will keep your lips looking fresh. If you have chapped lips, you can do light scrubbing to exfoliate, but remember to be gentle!

Our sister brand Madflowers Lip Potion is ideal for keeping lips looking healthy. Each lip potion has:

• Shea Butter infused with Henna Extract which stains and protects, promoting sensuality with kissable, sexy lips.
• Hawaiian Kukui Nut, Macadamia Nut and Safflower Oil which moistens,  nourishes and heals lips.
• Vitamin E and Collagen both rejuvenates and plumps to diminishes fine lines.
• Tangerine adds refreshing flavor and an energizing aroma.

Madflowers Lip Potion is also great to apply over your lip stain for a glossy and tingly effect. We love adding just a touch of lip potion over our nude lip stain’s to add a bit of shine. Buy yours here so you too can have magical lips for the New Year!
