Make a Fashion Statement!

Headpieces have evolved into a fashion accessory that is not to be overlooked. They have moved on from being a practical item to become a fashion statement that brings out one's character.

At first they were symbols of wealth and stature - only royalty were allowed to wear them, they were also worn as protection during war and against weather elements and then only in the 20th century they became an expression of style.

Today, designer hats are just the way to use the trend on your head and express something totally fresh. Hats add a mysterious element and a touch of glamour. Celebrities have also brought new attention to hats, for example, Justin Timberlake, Pharrell Willians and Beyoncé, who is rarely seen without a headpiece.

Whether off to church with a vintage wide brim from the grandparents, or with an elaborate Philip Treacy to the races, hats have a certain sense of occasion. But as the trend of handmade and artisanal continues, designer hats (mostly made by meticulous hands) are just the way to use the trend on your head and express something totally fresh. Or the other option is, like Lady Gaga does, to use hats as publicity stunts and to attract more than just a little attention. 

You're not sure of when to wear a hat or a headpiece? At the beach, at a brunch, while hiking, to the country club, at a bar or in a night club as a great way to stand out from the crown and be noticed.

Do you want to get a real statement and unique piece? Then if that's the case, having Gabriela Dror  in your designer list and on speed dial (www.gabrieladror.com) is a must. Not only is she an amazing designer, she is a great entrepreneur with an inspiring story and an incredible career. If you visit her website or her Facebook page you’ll see her beautiful pieces and all the work she’s been doing through the years. You can even get a custom designed piece for that special event you know you already have in mind. When you give her a call make sure you tell her Escarle from Alira Boutique Spa & Salon sent you, you won’t regret it.

Be bold, make a statement!

Lots of love!

We know a little secret...

So, the lucky girl who gets to dine at Churrascos is...

Who's ready for a makeover?

Makeup is an essential part of every woman’s look, and for  some, no matter how many times they read about it online or how many tutorials they have in their youtube playlist, getting the perfect makeup look is impossible.

Fear not! Here in Alira we’ve given this topic a lot of thought, that’s why as a part of our Anniversary month and with the help of the lovely people from Jentry Kelley, we’ve arranged a few makeup lessons for all of our loyal customers on October 8th.

Normally, the makeup lessons offered by Jentry Kelley have a price of $100, but since its our Anniversary month, we’ve decided to give them to our customers free of charge! Just remember to give us a call or ask our staff to sign you up.

See you at class!

It's a celebration!

October marks our second anniversary and to celebrate it, we’ve prepared a lot of great activities for our lovely Alira Community. That’s why we’ve decided to start the party early and start unveiling our surprises right away!

To start things with a bang, get ready to restock on all your favorites because we’re chopping off 20% on all of our retail products! This first treat is only valid from October 1^st to October 2^nd, so hurry up and get them while it lasts.

Our second surprise of the month is the fabulous one hour makeup classes that the lovely folks from Jentry Kelley are giving at our spa on October 8th. Normally, this classes have a price of $100, but for our Anniversary we’re giving them to our customers free of charge! Just remember to ask our staff to sign you up for any of them.

Last, but not least, don’t forget we’re contributing to breast cancer awareness month with our pampering sessions for all patients and survivors.

Are you ready for our anniversary month?

Lots of love

Think pink!

October is just around the corner, which means colder weather, a ton of seasonal products and Halloween. However, October is also the month of Breast Cancer Awareness, which is an annual campaign to increase awareness of the disease. While most people are aware of breast cancer, many forget to take the steps to have a plan to detect the disease in its early stages and encourage others to do the same.

According to the American Cancer Society, the lifetime risk of a woman in the United States of getting breast cancer is one out of eight. That means that that one woman will be facing a tough treatment regime and the unrelenting effects of cancer, which will often leave her tired, hurting, and undermine her self-esteem.

That’s why we've decided to help the brave women who are fighting or have survived this disease in the best way we can: Giving them a little pampering time! So, throughout October we will be giving complimentary "Alira Signature" facials to all breast cancer patients and survivors.

Do you know someone who might benefit from our little treat? Remember to call us first so we can book her a special appointment!

Lots of love,
