Customized Skin Care:Crucial Moisture, $38 at dynamic images salon and day spa

Fay Molina Linson got her start in the salon industry by folding towels. “There was never another career path I ever dreamed of taking,” she says. “I absolutely love what I do for a living! The fact that I get to spend each day making people happy about how they look and how they feel is the best job I could imagine.” And she calls on a variety of top products to provide her clients at Dynamic Images Salon and Day Spa with what they want. Crucial Moisture from Bio Elements is a best seller. “This is a day-time moisturizer for your face that works best on normal to dry skin types,” she says. “What makes this so special is that we custom blend this product at our mixing bar to be specifically tailored to you.” Stop by to see Fay at the salon Tuesday through Friday (and occasionally Saturdays!) each week.

Organic Skin Care:Eminence Firm Skin Starter Kit, $59 AT  STUDIO B SALON AND SPA

Brent Moody opened Studio B Salon and Spa in the summer of 2007. “My focus was to create a salon that featured clean, organic-based products and offers hair services in a casual customer-service-oriented space,” he says. After working the salon alone for a few years, he began to build and grow the salon and team that now includes two additional hairstylists, a facial room, and an apprentice working toward a career in hair. “A strange thing happened when Studio B became Studio B Salon and Spa,” he says. “In a very short time, Éminence Organic Skin Care became the top-selling product line we carry!” The product line, which is made in small batches in Hungary, created a buzz and hasn’t slowed down since. To pick the best product in the line is difficult, but the Firm Skin Starter Kit, which includes a six-week supply of everything you need to experience the product and see results, amazes Brent. “It includes an Açaí Cleanser, which contains anti-oxidant rich açaí berry to cleanse and refine dull skin; an Açaí Masque to feed your skin with phytonutrients and vitamins; an Açaí Booster-Serum, which offers a hydrating boost to your anti-aging skin care routine and last, Firm Skin Açaí Moisturizer, which contains rich shea butter and skin-plumping hyaluronic acid.” Get ready to glow!
