Beauty Body Polishing 
Reported by Janet McLaughlin Master Designer Aacardi Salon As Moxy (moxie) women, we all know the importance of polishing our assets. We would never be seen at an important event in a dingy dull car, or sporting a dirty diamond ring. So why is it we are not routinely polishing the one thing everyone sees first, your face? If you think the residue on your jewelry is troubling, then please take a second to think about your skin. This organ (and yes it is an organ) is exposed to everything in our lives. From the sun and pollutants outside, to everything we ingest and apply to our bodies. Scary, huh. Well, I know I, along with the majority of you, have definitely lived it up. So I'm sure our skin has paid a high price for those memories. So fellow Moxy (moxie) women the time has come for us to start giving back to our most reliable asset. Cars and jewelry will come and go, but ladies we are stuck with our skin. Lets be honest we are probably never going to have that baby's butt skin again, but I can share a few trade secrets to get you close. First, the skin on your face probably needs immediate attention. What I recommend is microdermabrasion. Sounds scary, but its probably (in my opinion) the most rewarding skin service I've ever received. I once saw a bride receive this treatment the day of her wedding and she came out looking absolutely radiant. Here at Aacardi our system is called Diamond Dermabrasion. This system erases epidermal layers at different depths in a safe, controlled manner. In doing this you are maintaining level cellular growth on the surface while aiding in appearance of youthful skin. In other words you're removing the build up on the top layer of your skin. Think polishing... On an average our skin renews itself every 10 days, but with age, inadequate diet, poor health or lack of care our skin is not able to properly regenerate itself. With regular treatments we are able to help our skin maintain its elasticity (less wrinkles) and remove any signs of damage (age spots). Microdermabrasion is a relaxing pain free treatment with immediate personal results. Another benefit is that after your treatment you will not look as if you just endured 3rd-degree burns as with some other treatments out there. So sit back and take a minute to ponder your faces' future. In 5 years are you going to wish you had taken a more aggressive approach to help your complexion? The time has come to take some action and experience this wonderfully necessary service. I promise you won't be sorry.

Mrs. Victoria Beckham’s (aka Posh Spice) hair has proved to be the next craze in the style world. Not since the show “friends” and the movie “you’ve got mail” has our salon and salons across the nation seen such a wide spread demand for one style. Whether our guest is 18 or 48 years old every one of them wants the new “bop”. Well I have great news for you trend weary women it’s just a BOB! “Oh, the comfort behind that word.” No matter what year it is or what off the wall looks are coming from the runway, you can always count on their being some form of a bob on the forefront. From the sharp clean lines of the Vidal Sassoon bob to the textured urban look of Victoria Beckham's "bop", the timeless base and principles that have always dictated our favorite look, still shine through. We at Aacardi have been dedicated to bring the newest cutting edge styles to the Tampa bay area for the last 20 years. Our staff is educated through Redken 5th Avenue Academy (Manhattan) at least twice a year. So as this trend sweeps over our area remember that the “bop” can be customized to fit your face shape. As in everything, one size does not fit all. If you’ve never been one to try something new this just might be the opportunity for you. This particular trend can be modified for almost every one. From extending the length to evening up the a- symmetry, this fresh look can be as urban or as polished as the person wearing it. So if you are up to the challenge, even if it’s not the “bop” we would love to help you achieve the look you’ve always dreamed of.

Licensed stylists must go through a six month training period at Aacardi before they can style hair in the salon. Valerie's classic training is a three-step process at Aacardi; 6 months in the salon developing business, technical and service skills, then off to New York for training at the Redken Fifth Avenue Academy in Manhatten for advanced courses, and finally in-house workshops. This three step process assures quality control at the salon.
