Eyelash Extensions
Eyelash extensions are a great alternative to false lashes for brides who want a natural-but-still-glamorous look on the big day. Individual lashes are attached to pre-existing eyelashes at different levels of intensity. $250–$450 at Salon Sartor, 7270 Forestview Ln. N. Ste. 125, or $175 at Simonson’s Salon and Spa, 13950 Grove Dr.
Long-lasting Nail Polish
Try semi-permanent nail polish for a two-week natural manicure and take worry out of the wedding day. This no-chip solution is not artificial like acrylics, but is instead a gel-based polish applied directly to the nail. $46+ at Marc Daniel Salon, 7884 Main St., or $40 (regular or French) at Salon Sartor and Simonson’s.
Body Wraps
Looking to lose inches before a fitting? Body wraps utilize an acupressure process on the lymphatic system that can shed four to 14 inches in one session. The wraps also act as wellness treatment to rid the body of toxins. $77 at Flourish Wellness Spa, 7212 Forestview Ln. N., or $80 at Simonson’s.
Pure Mineral and Airbrushed Makeup
Prevent the “ghost” look in wedding pictures—the pale, featureless visage often resulting from poor makeup quality and application. One solution: Jane Iredale makeup, made of 100 percent minerals to give you a natural, flawless complexion. Another: Airbrush makeup has an advantage for brides who want to fully cover up blemishes without a caked-on look. $45+ for application of Jane Ireland at Salon Sartor, or $75 for airbrush makeup at Marc Daniel Salon.
