What is Brow Designing and why is it important? Judith Culp at Red Lotus Skin Care Salon in Beaverton Talks about brow design and how personal it is to your style and face.

Read Now

Most of us are familiar with brow waxing. It is a tidying up of the brow area removing extraneous hair. Brow designing is this and a lot more. Well shaped brows frame the eyes in the same way your hairstyle frames your face. The right style makes the most of your features while the wrong style can make you look out of balance or proportion. The brows play up your eyes. There are actually mathematical formulas for creating the best balanced brows and we can thank Leonardo daVinci for creating them. His formulas used in his paintings and in the sculpture of Michelangelo and others have stood the test of time for ageless beauty. We still use them today. They help you avoid the rogues gallery of infamous eyebrows that make you look sad, surprised, scowling or older than your years.In a brow design session we evaluate your brows, your bone structure and personal preferences then we work together to design a brow that will look good today, tomorrow and for years to come. We can also talk about other brow challenges, skimpy brows, missing brows, graying brows, and directional hair growth problems and the solutions that might be best for you. Whatever your preferences, we can show you how to make the best of your brows. Whether you need hair removal, trimming, brow makeup or permanent cosmetics, we can help. Is it time for you to “spring” into a new look with brow designing?

Natural looking brow tattoos are amazing with this hot new technique.

Read Now

At Red Lotus Skin Care Salon in Beaverton, Oregon, Judith Culp talks about natural looking brush stroke technique.
HAIR BRUSH STOKE TECHNIQUE FOR COSMETIC BROW TATTOOING.

Powdery Filled Technique - The “powdery filled” technique involves a filling in or thickening of areas that already have eyebrow hair present with a soft or darker color which varies in transparency. As opposed to creating hairline strokes from scratch to cover bald or thin areas, the powdery filled technique is best for those simply wanting shaping and/or an enhancement.
Soft Hair Stroke Technique - The soft hair stroke method is ideal for those who have very little to no eyebrow hair to begin with. Very fine hairline strokes are created to visually replicate individual natural hairs (as opposed to a “block” of solid ink). Light shading is then applied to give the brows dimension. This technique requires particular skill and precision from the CPCP to make the eyebrows look natural as well as indiscernible, so make sure to do your research before committing to just anybody.
Soft Fill Technique – The soft fill method uses a round configured needle to fill in the entire surface area of the brow completely with pigment. This technique is most beneficial for individuals who already have hair on their brows, but have gaps in between the hairs needing to be filled.
Soft Shading Technique – Soft shading technique is usually applied in combination with other techniques like the hair stroke technique, to create a soft transparent background from one area of the brow to another by “sprinkling” or “brushing” pigment just below the epidermis. It is important that a shader needle be used and not an in-line needle for a softer more natural look.
Full Created Hair Stroke Technique – The full created hair stroke eyebrow tattoo is a combination of techniques, first by creating a shadowing background of the entire brow (either powdery, soft shading, or soft fill), layered on top with natural looking hairs (soft hair strokes) of different pigments creating dimension and depth. This option is optimal for people with sparse to no hair over the brow area.

Feathering Technique - This is basically a combination of the shading and hair stroke techniques, whereby strokes are made closer to one another other creating a shaded dimensional appearance. Certain skin types will fair better than others with a feather shade eyebrow, so be sure to discuss it with your CPCP to see if you are a good candidate.
3d Eyebrow Technique – The 3d eyebrows tattoo is an extremely popular method for brow enhancement and beautification. Delicate strokes done in little sections (applied from the inner to outer corner of the brow), are created to replicate natural hair using complimentary mineral pigment. This helps to define and strengthen sparse or thin areas of the brow, leaving a completely natural looking 3d appearance.

Skin feeling dry around the colder months? We have some tips for you.

Read Now

Winter Facials and skin peels, at Red Lotus skin care in Portland, are a great remedy, but there are some tips to think about. Sometimes during the fall and winter months with the weather changing, it can make our skin feel tight and dry. The first thing is to always make sure you are getting enough water, we recommend 10-12 glasses per day. Second is to look for moisturizers containing glycerin, sorbitol, and alpha hyrdoxy acids. Jessica, an esthetician at Red Lotus, battles dry skin daily and recommends silkcoat balm by PCA skin. Third, make sure you are still wearing your suncreen! Winter sun combined with potential snow glare can cause sunburns so apply sunscreen to your face and any other skin that is exposed, such as your hands. Lastly, cut your hot showers short or lower the temp. Hot water breaks down the lipid barriers in the skin which can make your skin lose moisture. Now that you have these tips under wraps come in to Red Lotus salon for a facial or skin peel.

Cheap lash extensions are not a bargain at all. Don't make this mistake.

Read Now

Flare lashes are not 3D volume lash extensions and Jessica at Red Lotus in Portland, Oregon will tell you why. First off, what is a "flare"? A flare is a bundle of about 3 lashes usually knotted at the base creating a bulky, fake appearance. The knots cause strain on the lashes and make them not shed properly and can cause tugging and irritation.In extreme cases, wearing flare lashes for weeks and months can cause permanent bald spots on the lash line or a very sparse lash line that can take years to grow back. Flare lashes usually last around 10 days whereas 3D volume lash extensions lash 3-4 weeks before needing a fill. But why should you beware the flare? flare extensions are glued to the tip of a natural lash, not the base. Glueing to the tip of a lash will cause them to droop and potentially cause breakage. There are some places out there that glue flares to the base but if the weight of one single lash on average is .15 and there are usually 4 or more in a flare that is a lot of weight on the base of a little natural eyelash. 3D Volume lash extensions are placed in a fan of 2-4 but the weight of one is .07 and these are not knotted at the base. So would you rather have bulky lashes for 10 days and potential permanent damage or beautiful, fanned, volume lashes for a month?

Sea Salt Detox Bath from Red Lotus Skin Care Salon

Read Now

A salt bath is among the oldest baths out there, and has been used for many years to help people relax and unwind. But did you also know that sea salt alone can help to pull toxins out of the body, and provide extra benefits to your skin? This recipe uses sea salt, so you’re getting all natural salt, not the kind that is iodized and sold in cylindrical containers. Some of the reported benefits from soaking in this bath: having more energy at the beginning of the day, not needing to reach for a caffeine jolt, and feeling better throughout the whole day.

Ingredients

♥ 1/3 C Epsom salts
♥ 1/3 C Sea salt
♥ 1/3 C Baking soda
♥ 2 1/2 t Ground ginger
♥ 1 C Apple cider vinegar

Instructions

Combine all of the dry ingredients in a bowl.
Draw a bath with hot water, as hot as you handle. As the water is filling the tub, add all of the dry ingredients and the vinegar. The flowing water will help mix it, but make sure to mix it up well. (If your water turns yellow or orange, that’s just the ginger and the vinegar).
Soak for about 40 minutes and relax.

You can use chopped fresh ginger if you choose, but we suggest putting it in a tea ball or something similar so pieces of ginger aren't floating around in your tub or clog your drain.
