Spring Beauty Forecast with Toni & Guy, Dermalogica and Colorsmash

Toni & Guy Academy in Santa Monica

It was a night of beauty treatments and pampering at Toni & Guy Academy in Santa Monica last week.

The hair salon hosted an amazing event that featured a variety of partners for a fun Spring Beauty Forecast. My favorite skincare company, Dermalogica, was there. So in addition to hair styling and facial treatments, the event also offered hair chalking(!) and makeup services.

The Microzone treatment from Dermalogica is always a treat. It's a 20-minute facial that's both relaxing and specific to your skin needs. (And it's only $30 at the Santa Monica location!)

I was also eager to try the hair chalking. If you're looking to add some fun color to your hair (think fuchsia, blue or even green) but you don't want it to be permanent, hair chalking is a great alternative. Colorsmash is a "hair shadow" that's temporary (it washes out in one wash) and comes in a ton of colors.

You literally smash it into your hair and add hair spray to set. (It's a little messy and can come off on your clothes a bit, but it also comes off with water.) Color just one strand or many, and it's such a cool (no-commitment!) look. Throw your hair in a ponytail or braid it, and have that bit of color jump out.

Getting Colorsmash(ed)!

As the weather warms up and color becomes the new black, it's such a great time to go for something a little different -- if only for the weekend.

Keep in mind that Toni & Guy Academies offer haircuts/styling for a mere $20! Full highlights for long hair are $60. (And they offer Colorsmash at their locations, too.)

And a little pampering never hurt any mom. :)
