Fashion
for 2001
Fashion
once again finds inspiration in the extravagance of the 1980's.
Stiletto heels, micro-minis and lots of gold flashed from
the spring catwalks in an optimistic reflection of the state
of the economy. And the sheer joy of dressing up is witnessed
in the variety of styles. This is such a great time in fashion,
every one is having so much fun with the 80's revival. It's
about bringing back the look with a new angle. The most important
look is the skin and the silky, healthy hair. This look is
about clean skin, and this is reflective of how far the skincare
industry has come and its influence on fashion.
Hair
2001
The
big power suits of the 80's demanded big, powerful hair, much
of it inspired by the rock stars of the time. And while rock-n-roll
definitely has its hand in this season's hair, styles take
a softer, more sophisticated line to convey the more amicable
anarchy that marks our new millennium. The looks of what we're
seeing is what I call 'bed-head' or "shattered"
look. The good thing is you get a lot of volume. We're definitely
getting away from the square bob. It will be more rounded
and curved around the face, with no more blunt lines. Bi-level,
shoulder-length hair is also back. This is where the front
of the hair can be cut off completely square, and doesn't
blend into the rest of the cut. The shag is back, it's long
and shaggy. The shorter cuts are 80's without the hard edge;
they're cutesy, kicky and punky. Bangs are very short with
hair longer on the sides and short in the crown for texture.
You'll see more geometrics in cuts, and curls coming back
in all sizes.
Try---Trendline to create curls with smoothness and no frizz.
Layer product over product to create glossy, silky powerful
hair, without stiffness or flakes. Style any style you want!!!

Color
2001
The
trend in hair color is going back to solid panels of color
complementing your skin and eyes. Highlights are still in
demand, but no longer the fine highlights all over the head.
The beautiful colors will be placed more solid and bolder,
to create a richer stronger color. Brilliant beautiful reds
are a great color this season. We now offer NEW red colors
that Goldwell has introduced. It's time to have fun, try a
new cut, color and makeover at Bellezza. Sunday April 1, 2001
we attended a Goldwell Hair Show at the Egg in Albany. They
premiered new colors of red, shown on an array of brunettes;
the colors are fabulous! Gorgeous blondes!! Beautiful shine!!
Need I say more?

Men
2001
The
Rod Stewart haircut is coming back for men. It's very 80's
with the spiked crown. Men's hair is getting longer, not quite
the 60's hippie look, but just below the collar. Hair color
is more popular than ever, grey blending is very strong in
the salon.

Massage
 Swedish
and Deep Tissue Massage is a way to calm both body and mind.
This is a very favorite way to take care of yourself, known
by those who have experienced it. Try a 10 minute back, shoulder
massage. It is so wonderful, and becoming increasingly popular.
Massage has shown to be beneficial in relieving muscle soreness,
stiffness, and spasms, therefore increasing flexibility. Massage
facilitates removal of metabolic wastes, and enhances blood
and lymph circulation. Massage is a way for relieving stress
and promoting relaxation.
Back
Sports
Massage
The
purpose of sports massage, also known as performance massage,
is to reduce or eliminate factors that interfere with human
performance.
What sets sports massage apart from other modalities is its
emphasis on the prevention of injury.
Sports
massage works by loosening and invigorating you both physically
and mentally so that you have the best chance of reaching
your performance potential. You don't have to be a professional
athlete. Any healthy individual engaging in strenuous activity
is a good candidate for sports massage. If optimum performance,
prevention of injury, and restoring yourself when you have
completed a strenuous event are among your goals, then sports
massage has a place in your life. The sports massage you receive
should be tailored to your physical condition and the nature
of your activity.

Massage
Therapy Reduces Migraine Headaches
 A
recent study shows that massage therapy lessens the symptoms
associated with migraine headaches, including pain and sleep
disturbances; and increases serotonin levels.
The
study was conducted by researchers from the Touch Research
Institute at the University of Miami School of Medicine, and
researchers from the University of Central Florida.
Twenty-six
adults who had experienced chronic headaches for at least
six months were assigned to either a control group, which
received no treatment; or to a group that received two 30-minute
massage sessions per week for five consecutive weeks. Study
participants did not alter their intake of any medication.
According
to results in Intern LJ. Neuroscience (1998, Vol 96, pp. 1-11),
control-group participants were told that they would receive
massage therapy after a five-week waiting period. For that
same five-week period, massage-group participants received
a 10-minute massage routine that was repeated three times
per session for a total of 30 minutes per session.
Subjects
in the massaged group lay supine while the therapist applied
pressure, circular friction and kneading to the muscles on
the back of the neck, followed by "1) two-fingered, semicircular
stroking to the base of the skull; 2) palpating under the
base of the skull; 3) head and neck mobilization while using
the thumb to apply compression to the sub-occipital fibers;
and 4) steady, rhythmic pressure to the groove along the base
of the skull," the published abstract stated.
Both
groups filed out Medical and Headache Questionnaires both
before and after the control or massage therapy sessions on
the first day, and also on the last day of the study. The
questionnaires asked for information on the type of headache
pain subjects experienced, such as nagging vs. throbbing or
stabbing; severity of headaches; frequency and duration of
headaches (in days and hours, respectively); pain location;
and other symptoms related to their headaches; such as vomiting
or nausea, or aversion to light, noise or odor.
Participants in both groups rated their headache frequency
and intensity; kept a sleep diary to log the number of hours
they slept and the number of times they awoke during the night;
and provided urine samples on the first and last days of the
study to measure serotonin levels.
The
massaged group reported decreased headache pain immediately
following the first day's session. Participants in that group
also reported, after five weeks' treatment, a lower Global
Headache Score, meaning that they had more headache-free days
and fewer days with mild headache pain. This group also reported
sleeping more and waking up less often during the night, and
lessened feelings of anxiety. The massaged group also showed
an overall increase in serotonin (a vasoconstrictor) levels.
In
contrast, the control group did not show significant changes
in their Global Headache Scores, sleep patterns or serotonin
levels.
After five weeks, control group participants were offered
complimentary massage.
According
to he researchers, "The increased hours of sleep and
fewer nightwakings noted for the massage therapy group could
have resulted from fewer headaches or the decrease in headaches
could result from improved sleep." Researchers concluded,
based on other studies, that massage therapy was responsible
for either the improved sleep or the immediately lessened
headache pain.

Like It's 1983!!!!!
It's
the return of the 80's! Long, square enhancements, opaque
white nail polish, gold strips, gems and piercing. The look
of the Material Girl, Madonna. Many of music's elite are following
in her footsteps. The big trend is doing something 3-D with
pizzazz and art and flair. As far as retro goes, in the 80's
it was cheaply done; it didn't have much depth. Now the image
is clean and classy. Pink shades range from Barbie to Fuchsia.
This is HOTTER than ever especially when accented by opalescents
like Jennifer Lopez' favorite from Creative Nail, a hot pink
with opalescent undertones called Tutti Frutti!! Pink is fun
and hip. Reds, corals, opaque lilac, glitter and sparkle are
the new image. What a girl wants indeed. Bellezza is now offering
Creative Nail polishes.
