Another idea for a perfect Mother’s Day gift is to provide a gift certificate to our Pawleys Island salon for a popular Keratin hair treatment. With the hot and humid Myrtle Beach days of summer approaching, giving this treatment as a Mother’s Day gift would be the ideal time so mom can get her hair frizz-free and humidity resistant before summer. Our professionals are certified in the Brazilian Blowout Keratin Treatments and can provide mom with the healthy and shiny hair she desires.

Often times, moms are always putting others before themselves so Mother’s Day is the perfect opportunity to show your appreciation and “force” mom to take some time out for herself. If you know of other moms that deserve some relaxation and pampering, why not get a group together and book a day of beauty at our Murrells Inlet salon?

Are you a mom yourself? There is nothing wrong with going ahead and booking your own salon service or treatment at our Pawleys Island salon and spa. You deserve it!

Our Pawleys Island salon offers chemical-free Keratin protein treatments that leave your hair looking healthy and shiny. The Keratin acts as a barrier between the humidity and your hair, leaving you with the ultimate frizz-free hair. Getting a Keratin treatment in advance will allow you to adapt to your new hair and have time to play around with new styles before deciding on what hairstyle you want for prom.  You also will get to enjoy your new frizz-free hair during the hot and humid Myrtle Beach days! Keratin treatments last up to 12 weeks.

Even if you do not want or need a Keratin treatment, you still will want to get a haircut or get your color done in advance before your Pawleys Island prom. At Elite Retreat Salon, we have more experienced stylists than many Murrells Inlet hair salons and Pawleys Island hair salons.  Whether you are thinking about a major change or just want your hair to be its healthiest on your prom night, our experienced stylists can help you determine the right cut and color for your hair. You will want to at least get a trim a couple of weeks before your prom night. Drastic hair style changes (such as cutting off a significant amount of your hair) will want to be made well in advance to allow time for your hair to adjust as well as you to adjust to your new hair style.

In addition to the above, our Pawleys Island hair salon offers deep conditioning treatments and glazes that will help your hair look shiny and healthy on prom night. Need some help with a professional prom updo or formal hairstyle? We can help with that too! Get your friends together and book early to enjoy some pampering girl time before heading out to prom.  You will have plenty of pictures to remember this special day in your life and we can help you look your best! No need to travel to a Murrells Inlet hair salon or Myrtle Beach hair salon- we have experienced stylists that can create the perfect prom look for you.

This Spring, classic styles like bobs and bangs are popular while there are new, more edgy trends like slicked back hair that was seen all over the runway. Retro styles have been seen on many celebs including Scarlet Johansson, shown here with beautiful wavy curls.

A little too much maintenance for your lifestyle?  Try a chic head scarf or thick headband for an easy and classic retro look that is perfect for walking along Litchfield Beach or Myrtle Beach!

If you are thinking of trying a bob (especially if you have some inches to cut), we suggest first creating a faux bob by pinning your hair and rolling it under just below ear length. Take a look and see how you like the length. For those hot Myrtle Beach days, this is a great look to help keep cool! Try Ali Larter’s classic a-line bob with a deep side part and dramatic angle in the front.

Bobs don’t have to be really short. Below is Olivia Wilde’s textured, collarbone-length bob with side bangs. We love both styles!

Add a glaze or deep conditioning to get your hair shiny and ready for Spring! Or try a keratin complex treatment for the ultimate frizz-free hair. We suggest making an appointment at our Pawleys Island salon with one of our experienced hair stylists who can work with you to determine what hairstyle works best for you. Make an appointment at today!

Pistachio- Pastel greens are going to be a huge hit this spring. Unlike last year when rich emeralds were in, this year a feminine pistachio green is a great look for both day and night wear.

Tangerine- Vibrant orange and tangerine shades are perfect for a day of lounging on the beach in Pawleys Island, or sipping cocktails by the pool. Tangerine nails are fun and flirty, and can instantly transform a dull outfit.

Sophisticated Pastels – Much like the aforementioned Pistachio, pastels are going to be a popular nail trend for Spring 2012. Shades of lavender, light pink and periwinkle are all perfect pastel shades for Spring.

Nude Nails- Matching your nails with your skin tone is also a popular nail trend for Spring. A nude nail can make your fingers appear elongated and more feminine.

Glitter- Ready for a night on the town in Myrtle Beach, Murrells Inlet or Pawleys Island? Add a glitter top coat to a rich or pastel base coat for a luxe effect! Many glitter nail polishes are also more chip resistant, allowing your polish to last even longer.
