Experiencing Dermalogica on Montana and the Microzone Treatment

Last week Becky and I took a trip down to Dermalogica in Santa Monica to experience a "Microzone Treatment". It was my first time to the Montana Ave location of their flagship store, and needless to say I was impressed :)

Walking in you immediately feel calm just from the pristine white decor and spa like aroma wafting through the shop. They have every Dermalogica product you could possibly want all right there on the shelves. The staff here is incredibly helpful and sweet. Erin the store manager gave us a little tour and background on the shop, and made us feel completely welcome and ready for our treatments.

This is the Microzone Treatment area. It was created out in the open for a reason, and as you walk by the shop on the outside you are almost drawn to go in and check out what the people in the chairs are having done to them. Here is Becky getting her Microzone Treatment from Sheba.

Now the Microzone treatments are designed for that time in between your regular facial appointments. They are 20 minutes and perfect if you are in a hurry and yet have some areas of your face that you want to address. Sheba sat us both down before she started the treatment and asked us what areas were of concern. For me I have a lot of blackheads on my nose and chin area, as well as some concerns about sun spots. Once she heard that. she went to work on those problem areas by cleansing, exfoliating, extracting and refreshing my skin till I felt like new! 

After the treatment, we went over to an area of the store that's called the "Skin bar" This is where Sheba went over each product individually that would be best for my skin type and also grouped it all together in what would be the perfect daily skin care regimen for me.

Here are all the products that she selected

If you live in the Los Angeles area I highly recommend going to the store on Montana for either a treatment, products or both! Make sure you ask for Sheba! She is a true professional and a sweetheart!

Here is a list of the different treatments they offer along with the prices:

Lastly I want to say a HUGE thank you to Nathalie for setting up our treatments, Erin for making us feel so welcome, and to Sheba for pampering us so well!

Toni & Guy Spring Beauty Forecast Event Party

Check out my vlog here on my Youtube channel

I was so excited to be invited to this Media event at the Toni & Guy Hairdressing Academy in Santa Monica.  For those of you who might not know, Toni & Guy Salons have been around for over 50 years this year!  Started by brother team Toni and Guy Mascolo, and then later joined by their other two brothers Bruno and Anthony, the company is now in over 20 countries worldwide.

The Academy location in Santa Monica, CA

They have 20 different Academy locations throughout the US and Canada, and let me tell you it is a picturesque place to learn!

Here is Bruno Masolo (owner) giving a little speech at the event with his nephew Zak Mascolo by his side.

They were offering a ton of complimentary services and so I opted for eyelash extensions! Yumi Youn did an outstanding job. She has the Eyelash Lab in Beverly Hills and another location in Valencia.

My beautiful friend Becky came with me and got her makeup did :) She has a Youtube channel and is going to be expanding and branching out so stay tuned! http://www.youtube.com/beckyjensen

Lauren Fernald did an amazing job on her makeup. 

She works at the Newport Beach location so make sure you go see her if you are down that way! 

The night was filled with champagne and chocolate covered strawberries, hand massages and of course making great connections! The AMAZING goodie bag that we left with was FILLED with amazing products from Bed Head, Pet Head, Dermalogica, TIGI, and ColorSmash.

This Paint By Numbers book from Toni & Guy is so informative. It's a step by step guide on the methodology for applying makeup.

This mascara is the bomb! Max2 Special Mascara Gold. It's made from natural products like Royal Jelly and Herb extracts. You can remove it with just soap and water, no cleansers needed.
 Also safe for eyelash extensions :)
 It came straight from Yumi Youn's Eyelash Lab.

Cannot wait to try these two TIGI products! 

Bed head is literally one of the best hair products lines out there. I'm looking forward to trying out the "Straighten Out", "Elasticate" Strengthening Shampoo, and 

"Recharge" the High Octane Shine Shampoo

I have heard nothing but amazing things about Dermalogica products. What's ironic is the night before I got these, I was watching Karissa (Saturdaynightsalrite) on Youtube and she was talking ab out the primer. I was thinking to myself how I needed to get some and there it was the next day! Talk about fate :)

I want to say a HUGE thank you to: Toni & Guy Hairdressing Academy, Natalie Filetti ( Advanced Education Coordinator) Ameilia Swagger (PR Specialist) Jazmine Graza (Social Media Manager) Joshua Marzioli (Academy Director) Brian Aguliar (Designer 1) Brittany Maher, Yumi Youn, Nathalie Banker (Dermalogica) , Eric for the amazing hand massage, and to anyone else I met and I didn't mention your name!
