AMS Studios Is Passionate About Stomping Out Child Abuse

AMS Studios Is Passionate About Stomping Out Child Abuse

Causes

April is Child Abuse Prevention Month, which hits close to home for us because a member of the AMS family has been directly impacted by child abuse and it’s lifelong effects. Our manager Pamela’s son Max is a shaken baby syndrome survivor.
This April we are starting a tradition of partnering with Butterfly Bridge Children’s Advocacy Center to fundraise and spread awareness. We will be donating 15% of all proceeds from the sale of gift certificates this month, giving our clients a chance to become a part of this tradition with us. We will be donating to Butterfly Bridge in Max’s name.
In this vlog, Pamela shares a little bit about Max and their story, how they were affected by child abuse, and how an organization like Butterfly Bridge helped them, and Jen emphasizes how important it is to know that resources like this are available right here in Prattville, Alabama.
True pioneers of professional body sugaring – Sugar Waxing At AMS Studios

True pioneers of professional body sugaring – Sugar Waxing At AMS Studios

Sugar Waxing

Sugaring (sugar waxing) is an ancient technique with origins in Egypt and ancient Greece.  It is booming in popularity in Europe and has steadily grown more and more popular here at home in the States.  Sugar can be applied by hand or using strips.

Sugaring is like waxing but is unique in that it removes the hair from the root almost 100% of the time. The ingredients in the sugar paste are so gentle, and the way that it is applied is so effective, that it rarely irritates the skin and is great for sensitive or allergy-prone skin types. 

It is universally effective for all hair types and colors and you can use it on any part of your body and face. Sugar paste will not pull or irritate the skin; it will only pull on hair and will exfoliate the skin by removing dead skin cells.

With continuous use, sugaring reduces hair growth each time. The hair gradually grows back thinner and finer. How long you will stay hair-free depends on several factors, but you will see a much sparser re-growth already after the very first sugaring treatment. The average time between treatments is 4-6 weeks.

Lashes After Care

Lashes After Care

Eyelash Education

  • Do not get your eyelashes wet for the first 24 hours.
  • Do not use a spa, sauna or pool for the first 24 hours. The extensions need that amount of time to properly bond.
  • Avoid pulling or rubbing your eyes.
  • Do not use eyelash curlers with your extensions. With proper application you will not need them.
  • ONLY use oil-free makeup remover. We carry a very affordable one in our spa which is made specifically for lash extensions.
  • After 24 hours if your eyelashes are tangled or crossed over, use the mascara brush we provide you during your appointment to gently brush them straight and put them in place. 
  • Proper hygiene is very important. Please keep lashes clean by regular washing. We carry a special foaming lash eyelash cleaner that will gently clean and bath your lashes.  We highly recommend you clean your lashes every other day.  Doing so will extend the life of your lash.
  • Use only mascaras that are safe for eyelash extensions, no oil-based or waterproof mascaras. We have an extension safe mascara that goes on like butter and easily washes out with our specialty cleanser.
  • After showering avoid rubbing lashes, it best to blot them with a towel, gently comb through them with the spoolie and let them air dry.
  • You can also dry the lashes by using a hair dryer on the cool setting and blowing them dry from the bottom up. It makes them curlier and fluffy.
  • Use care when applying facial and eye creams to avoid the lash line. Too many oil-based products can break down the adhesive.

Non-Invasive Weight Loss Ultrasonic Cavitation

Non-Invasive Weight Loss Ultrasonic Cavitation

Weight Loss Education

Have you ever wondered if there was a quick, simple, non-invasive way to lose weight?!

Guess what, there is!! New at AMS and just in time for the New Year is our Ultrasonic Caviation machine. So what is Ultrasonic Cavitation, you may be wondering? 

Ultrasonic Caviation is a non-invasive weight loss service that uses low frequency sound waves and/or light suction to melt fat and inches right off! This magical machine heats and vibrates fat cells below the skin’s surface.

So what results can you expect to see from Ultrasonic Cavitation? Results can vary from patient to patient but you can expect: 

  • Tightened skin and reduced cellulite
  • Reduced circumference in the treated area(s)
  • An overall contoured appearance

Just as results vary from patient to patient so does treatment time. For best results we recommend between 8 and 12 treatments, although some patients see results after only 1 treatment. Treatment factors vary with age, weight, and the area being treated. Each session is 30 minutes, which targets one specific area of your choice, and since there is no downtime with Ultrasonic Cavitation you can expect to resume normal activities as soon as your treatment is complete. 

Treatment areas include: Stomach, Back, Legs, Arms, and Face.

Facial For Sensitive Skin

Facial For Sensitive Skin

Skin Care Education, Facials

Do you have sensitive skin? Seems like anything will give your skin a tingling, redness appearance without warning! Sometimes it can be a hot shower, alcohol, cosmetic and beauty products, stress, or even pollution. Unfortunately, as we grow older, our skin becomes more and more exposed to free radicals and air pollution, and in turn, developing hypersensitive skin or rosacea. These skin conditions can be characterized by the following: flushing (redness of the cheeks), dilated blood vessels, burning/stinging sensation, feeling of tightness, or dry in appearance.
 
We are excited to announce a luxury facial option for anyone skeptical about products used on their skin during a facial service. AMS announces Repêchage Hydra 4 Red-Out Facial with Seaweed Extracts and Micro Silver!
 
This amazing facial contains a blend of vitamins, minerals, trace elements, amino acids, antioxidants, hyaluronic acid, several seaweed extracts, aloe, and silver.
 
Repêchage harvests it’s seaweed off the coast of France, and is processed in the United States. Seaweed is one of the richest sources of potent antioxidants. The extracts from the seaweed are beneficial for hydration, soothing, and proteins. They are made up of 12 vitamins, 42 minerals and trace elements, and 18 amino acids to give your skin a hydrated, restored, and radiant result!
 
Micro Silver has become a revolutionary new ingredient made from pure, micronized silver. This releases pure soluble silver ions on the skin’s surface to form an invisible layer. This layer of protection keeps away unwanted bacteria and other micro organisms. It also reduces redness by 60%, while killing bacteria used as a food source for skin irritating microbes.
 
The Repêchage Red-Out Facial produces real and immediate help to people with sensitive skin. There are many benefits from this facial including reduced redness caused by environmental stress, calm appearance, cool and refreshed feel on the face and neck, smooth and refined skin texture, and a beautiful radiant glow.

If you’ve never had a facial, or have wondered what all a facial intel’s, I will inform you of several steps that will take place during the facial process. It’s by far the most, enjoyable, relaxing, self-care experience you’re most likely to have. During a facial you will feel precise and deliberate fluid motions on your face, neck, and chest areas. Each consistent motion will perform a method of treatments in these steps listed below:
  1. Cleanser- works to soothe and nourish the skin while cleansing and removing makeup, dirt, and oil.
  2. Tonic- a light mist of Mirabilis Jalapa flower extract will absorb into the skin to help reduce redness and hydrate dry skin.
  3. Serum- provides the micro silver while moisturizing with seaweed extracts and bioflavonoids during a relaxing facial massage.
  4. Facial Mask- contains Phyto-Marine extracts that give the skin a more even tone and texture, and feel softer and smoother.
  5. Eye Rescue Pads- these cool, moisturized eye pads will breathe life back into your eye area with seaweed, cucumber and tea extract blend.
  6. Upper body Massage- while the mask and eye pads do their magic, you will be able to relax with an upper body massage containing your neck and shoulders, and finished with a hand and arm massage.
  7. Mask removal and another spritz of tonic for extra hydration and coolness.
  8. Moisturizing Day cream- will nourish and hydrate the skin, and help reducing fine lines and wrinkles. It will leave your skin feeling supple and looking luminous.
After all these steps are performed, you will feel like you’ve melted right into the facial bed! Your face will be renewed with visible hydration and smooth appearance! It’s the beginning to a new self-care routine! Facials are suggested monthly for ultimate results for any skin type, whether it’s sensitive, oily, or acne prone. Facials can also be done as a luxury splurge on oneself for a birthday celebration or even as a stress reliever after a long day at work. Whatever the circumstance, I urge you to try a facial, or even gift it to a loved one (even men, yes men can enjoy facials too)! They can be customized, and very versatile with each service. Call and book your next spa service as a Red-Out Facial for Sensitive Skin!
