Sakura Silk Product Review

Sakura Silk is a new exfoliating silk gel from Japan. It is a great product that I would definitely recommend to anyone interested in better looking skin! I was introduced to the product at the International Salon and Spa convention this February in Long Beach, CA. One of the Sakura Silk reps encouraged me to try the product on my hand. I was amazed; it exfoliated my skin in just a few seconds and left my hand extremely smooth. After purchasing the product I tried the gel on my face at home, it had the same effect and left my skin silky and smooth. The product wasn't harsh or rough, it was just right for my face. The product is inexpensive, easy to use and will leave your skin feeling like you just spent a day at the spa.

About Sakura Silk:
Sakura Silk contains K-Link Complex™, our exclusive blend of natural botanicals and active ingredients. This special blend targets built-up keratin that dulls and hardens the skin’s appearance. When the K-Link Complex™ attaches itself to dead skin cells, a special K-Link Reaction occurs to remove old keratin on contact. Unlike ordinary exfoliants that irritate and scratch the skin’s surface, Sakura Silk’s revolutionary formula exfoliates gently and effectively, without any damage to the skin.

All you have to do is post a comment to our Ask an Esthetician blog with your skin care questions or email Sara@SpaFitFinder.com and we will post an answer to your questions the following Sunday.




Q. Why should I use organic skin care?
A. Organic Skincare should have a higher concentration of real active ingredients that are free of dangerous chemicals. Our skin can more easily recognize ingredients from nature and benefit from them over synthetic ingredients that could potentially irritate the skin.

Bling String

As Seen on TV does it again, well, kind of! I think it would be safe to say Bling String just might be the first As Seen on TV product that has graced the Red Carpet. Both Lady Gaga and Beyonce have been sighted sporting these sexy little strands. Bling String, new sparkly hair extensions, are available in all colors and can be used on hair of all lengths. Most salons suggest anywhere from 10-20 strands per person and they last up to two months. Bling String is perfect for a special occasion, prom, birthday parties, prom or in Beyonce’s case, the Grammy’s.

Donte's of New York, in Scottsdale, offers Bling String, also known as Shimmer Strands for $4 per strand. Call 480-483-8800 to schedule your appointment. If you think you are crafty enough to do it yourself order Bling String online at https://blingstring.com/.

Bravo Salon and Day Spa Review

Spa Fit Finder is dedicated to providing Beauty and Body on every budget. While we are searching high and low for the best deals around we are also visiting salons and spas so we can tell YOU all about them. On Thursday the 28th of January, I was lucky enough to go to Bravo Salon and Spa to check it out.

Bravo Salon and Spa is in Scottsdale right off of Scottsdale Road and Shea. The salon is conveniently located and has great energy. The Bravo team is made up of extremely educated cosmetologist, an aestitician, massage therapist and a nail tech. I was invited to Bravo Salon and Spa by Alicia Bravo, senior cosmetologist and owner. When I arrived Alicia welcomed me and made me feel right at home. She then assessed my hair and decided to apply a MOROCCANOIL® Restorative Hair Mask. This particular mask is rich in protein and argan-oil, it is made to restore hair’s elasticity and rebuild strength while repairing damage caused by chemicals (bleach in my case) and other environmental factors.

While my hair mask was processing Alicia walked me around the salon to show me the treatment rooms, introduce me to their friendly staff and educated me on their exclusive product lines. Alicia also educated me on two of her specialty treatments, the Japanese Hair Straightening System and the Brazilian Keratin Treatment. Both treatments are pretty intense, in order to perform the treatments Alicia was certified and maintains her certification by attending classes every 6 months in Beverly Hills.

After Alicia educated me on Bravo’s product lines, I was able to relax for a bit while my treatment processed. Alicia kept busy with a consultation for a Brazilian Keratin Treatment. When I was done processing Alicia’s daughter rinsed my hair out and walked me back to Alicia’s station for my blowout. She used the Kevin Murphy styling products and her round brush to complete the BEST blow out and style my hair has ever seen. My hair looked awesome and felt silky smooth and completely restored.

I would recommend Bravo Salon and Spa for a MOROCCANOIL® treatment any day, your hair will thank you. Treatments range from $29-$49 depending on what other services you require with your treatment.

Call Alicia today to book your Moroccan Oil Treatment today!
