There is still time to mail milk + honey Gift Certificates. Plus, we have Instant Gift Certificates. Give us a call at 512.236.1115 and we’ll get this taken care of for you quickly and easily.

For everyone who lives in Austin, we think you’ll be safe for Christmas morning if you place your orders by Thursday at noon. If you live outside of Austin, mailing a physical gift certificate may be too late, so we recommend one of our beautifully designed Instant Gift Certificates.

For anyone using overnight shipping through FedEx, orders need to be in Thursday by 5pm to make sure the gift certificates will arrive on Christmas Eve.

Once the calendar hits Thursday, December 22, we highly recommend using our Instant Gift Certificates.

SALON by milk + honey Now Has Kevin Murphy Products

December 13, 2011

Kevin Murphy is now welcomed (and sold) at SALON by milk + honey.

milk + honey is carrying the full line of Kevin Murphy products including shampoos, conditioners, styling products (for men and women), conditioning treatments and color bugs! What is a color bug you ask? It’s a fun way to temporarily add some flare (or color) to your hair.

Kevin Murphy products are paraben and sulphate free and are made from renewable and sustainable resources, such as pure essential oils and plant extracts. We love having products that we believe in, that work, and are kind to our environment.

Kevin Murphy is an Australian line created by a stylist, and the products are sold only in salons. They were originally created by Kevin because he couldn’t find products that worked on all ranges and types of hair, but would also work on editorial looks.

Come visit us in the SALON and we’re happy to tell you all about it!

The two Fan Favorites are Mercedes (nail technician) and Paul (massage therapist).

Here are just a few of the wonderful things you have to say about both.

Mercedes:

My mom and I always come to see Mercedes together – and it feels like she’s one of the family! She is lovely to talk to, great with pedicures, and makes everyone around her feel comfortable. I recommend milk + honey to all of my friends – and then go further and tell them to go see Mercedes.

Paul:

There isn’t enough room in this box to fully explain why I. Love. Paul. and recommend him to anyone who says anything about massage, ever. He’s calm, quiet, and professional, which makes massages with him even better. I honestly am not sure I can continue to stay employed without knowing I can schedule massage time with him on a regular basis!

Admit it. Those glowing reviews have you excited to get back in to milk + honey. Check out our fantastic menu of nail services and massages. We want to thank everyone for voting. milk + honey can feel the love!

Dry Weather + Dehydration + Your Skin

November 30, 2011

Shayna is one our fantastic Estheticians at the Hill Country Galleria milk + honey spa. She has been working in the field of esthetics for more than four years and truly loves skincare!

Dry Weather, Dehydration, Allergy Season, Hyaluronic … and You!

Cooler, drier weather is upon us! While the cooler weather is fantastic, the added dryness will bring out different issues for our skin such as increased dryness and a lot of times severe dehydration. Dehydration is sneaky because it is not so easily spotted like dry or oily skin. One can still be oily and extremely dehydrated, especially if using products that can be drying like acne products. Another huge factor this time of year (or year round possibly) is allergies, and we are heading directly towards cedar fever! All those great allergy medications that allow us to breathe and to function while coping with allergies severely dry out the body.

It can be very easy for the skin to become out of balance and dehydrated with so many possible factors this time of year. Signs that you are dehydrated include skin that feels tight or is easily irritated, flaking, and developing fine lines.

In light of all these possibilities for skin and body dehydration, I highly recommend using a hyaluronic serum topically for the skin. Also, absolutely increase your water intake as much as possible to help the body cope with the drier weather. This is especially true if you have to take some allergy medications. You cannot drink enough water after taking those guys!

Inventive’s Anti-Aging Hyaluronic Serum is fantastic for dehydration! Hyaluronic serum holds up to 1000 times its weight in water and the body makes it naturally, so it is very compatible with our skin and absorbs quickly for immediate relief. Hyaluronic acid is able to penetrate deeply into the skin and it helps to smooth and plump fine lines from the inside while supporting the skin’s collagen production, making it very effective for dehydration and anti-aging as well. It is also non-comedogenic so it will not make your skin breakout. That makes this product great for everyone, including those prone to breakouts! Hyaluronic serum is great for post-peel as well since it speeds healing by supporting the skin with hydration.
