Experiment with a Fresh Romantic Look for Valentine’s Day

admin — Wed, 10 Feb 2010 23:09:47 +0000

Valentine’s Day is the perfect time to experiment with a fresh new romantic look – and why not enjoy a glass of the bubbly and the effervescent personality of The Factory Hair and Makeup Studio’s Nina Lares while you do the experimenting?

“What would really be fun is kicking off your Valentine’s weekend at The Factory. Every Friday we team up with Pop Champagne (on Union Street) and we serve champagne and desserts. We offer discounts on makeup services, facial services. We have a guest DJ. Our clients love it!” Nina says.

Discounts, you ask? Nina – who is partner and chief make-up artist – says that makeup service is 40% off and a facial that’s typically $85 goes for only $40.

“I think when you have your makeup done by someone else, it’s really fun,” Nina told us. “Because I think most women are used to seeing ourselves a certain way. You know, we take certain features
very seriously. At The Factory we take makeup very seriously – but we like to have fun here at the same time.”

High-energy Nina says she understands that everyone has their personal taste and style.

“We like to work together with our client and do something fun and new, but also not making them feel uncomfortable in their own skin,” she laughs.

“My style?,” Nina ponders. “I’m really into picking one feature, and accentuating, highlighting that particular feature, whether it’s the eyes or the lips or the cheeks.”

Gift certificates are available.
