Meet Victoria Sanchez

We all had that friend growing up that was inherently creative and was the prom-hair-styler and the make-up-applier.  Victoria was and is that girl.  She has had a flair for hair design and color from childhood, and she has made a career of her passion.  She is also proficient in conversational Sign Language, which makes her even cooler!  When she's not beautifying the public at Your Escape Salon, she is working on her Associate's Degree at Palm Beach State College, reading, drawing and painting.   Make an appointment with her today!

Sun protection for your lovely locks

Spring and summer are upon us here in sunny Florida, and as a gal who grew up in the Midwest, I can attest to just how different the sun is down here.  Just walking to your car can render your hair faded and your skin angry.  Paul Mitchell is on it!  His coveted "sun" line with UVeil Complex is here to help our hair not look like a piece of faded driftwood.  The line includes a Sun Recovery Hydrating Shampoo, an After-Sun Repleneshing Masque, and a Sun Sheild Conditioning Spray.

The shampoo is sulfate free, so the entire line is great for colored, dry and damaged hair.  Applying these products before and after sun exposure will help to ensure that the integrity of your hair and color remains.

Stop by and pick the line up today!

What sets our hair and nail salon apart from the rest?

It's a new year and a new beginning!  While we provide top-notch hair and nail services, today's post is focusing on what sets our nail services apart from discount salons.

1. Cleanliness - We are all self proclaimed "germaphobes" and therefore, our cleaning practices go above and beyond the hospital grade level that the state of Florida requires.  When it comes to choosing a salon to take care of your nails, cleanliness and sanitation are of the utmost importance.  We use a new file, buffer and orangewood stick on each and every client.  The solutions in which we soak and disinfect our non-disposable tools as well as the pedicure tubs are not only hospital grade, but also tuberculocidals.  Our tools and pedicure tubs are thoroughly disinfected in between every client.

2. Friendliness - We all take pride in and truly enjoy what we do!  When a person enjoys their profession, it allows for them to take great care of their clients.  We have such an awesome team at Your Escape and that translates to the overall positive (and sometimes hilarious) environment in our salon.

3. Exceptional Products - We don't believe in skimping and when it comes to the products we use, we make sure that we provide the best!  We feel that the Footlogix line of products are the best when it comes to foot care.  The results that we have seen from using their products confirm that the proof really is in the pudding.

We would love to take care of you, so make your hands and feet happy and make an appointment with us today! (561) 744-9884

Not just for blondes!

Paul Mitchell has an exciting new product line called "Forever Blonde", and as a gal with fine hair, I'm here to tell you that it is exceptional.  Each product in the line is infused with keratin (the fibrous protein which serves as the main framework for your hair), which in essence "fills in" the parts of the hair strands that are less than healthy, leaving them shiny and strong.  Lots of hair products are infused with keratin these days, but they are often times heavy.  If you are a blonde or have fine hair, you are all too familiar with looking like you have worked all day on an oil rig if you use a heavy hair product!  While the line helps to brighten and strengthen blonde hair (natural and chemically treated), the quality of the products are beneficial for any person who has damaged or fine hair of any color.  Stop by today, and look for the shiny silver bottles.  We carry the entire line, and we are all fans!

A Bungee...For Your Face!

Kimberly Aschauer is the mastermind behind the Facelift Bungee, and she has been a busy bee as of late. Based out of Royal Palm, FL, she has recently been featured on NBC's The Today Show. Kimberly stopped by Your Escape to educate us on how her invention works, and what inspired its creation. After a series of family tragedies in a short period of time, she found herself needing to put on a pretty face for a relative's wedding. Without the means to have a facelift, she invented the Facelift Bungee and was able to erase the stresses that had manifested in her face. Your Escape Salon has been carrying Kimberly's Facelift Bungees for 2 years, and we have both the dark and nude options. They are $24.99 + tax, and cost a fraction of the cost of a facelift!

Got Velcro Feet? Footlogix Has A Solution!

What are Velcro feet you ask?  Ya know when your feet are snagging the sheets, and they make that awful ripping sound as you're trying to get comfy and drift off to dreamland?  Case in point.  Perhaps you have a nail fungus that has plagued you for a while, but you are not interested in going the dangerous oral medication route.  Or maybe you have mild to severe cracking in your heels that lotions just don't clear up. You might be prone to athlete's foot and have an overabundance of moisture in your feet.  Whatever your issue, Footlogix has a solution. 

Urea is the main ingredient in their products. It is a natural end product of protein metabolism, and is an important component of the body's natural moisturizing factor.  Because of this, it allows the cells to absorb and retain additional moisture without forming a greasy layer on top of the skin.



Before and after shots from the www.footlogix.com website

We have personally seen amazing results like the ones in the pictures above within our own salon.  For instance, one of our regular clients who is a nurse has suffered from painful, cracked heels for years.  In fact, the deeply cracked heels in the first picture above could have been a picture of her feet before becoming loyal to the Footlogix products. She gets pedicures regularly with us in addition to using the Footlogix 3 Extra and 7 at home, and her feet have transformed. 

Another client's son developed ringworm while participating in football at his school and tried various prescribed medications that didn't work.  He started using the Footlogix 7, which is an anti-fungal formula, and it cleared up!  We have also seen great success with the Footlogix Tincture in terms of clearing up all too common nail fungi.

Our Footlogix pedicures are effective and theraputic, and we proudly offer the entire Footlogix line of products for retail.  Let us help you ring in the Spring and Summer with beautiful, happy, healthy feet!

The amazing product that is Poo~Pourri

So, you know when you gotta go, and you don't want anyone to know that you just went, but there's just an awful spray to "freshen" the air with rather than something to eliminate the smell?  We all know that those sprays don't work.  The poo just ends up smelling like itself, but with geraniums growing out of it.  Enter, Poo~Pourri!  They are truly amazing products.  They are biodegradable so, our delicate environment won't be harmed, and they literally eliminate any undesirable odors.  They are also made in the USA!  With names like "Deja Poo", "Crap Shooter", "Heavy Doody", and "No. 2", you and your fellow powder room patrons are sure to have a laugh as well as garner great results.  All you need to do is shake the bottle, give the surface of the toilet water 4-6 sprays, and proceed to do your thing!  Come by and pick a bottle up today - it is truly amazing stuff  :)
