No-Budget Beauty

Can someone please tell Dubya that these sky-high gas prices are fooling with our social lives? The novelty of budget haircuts, dumpster-diving for lunch, and recycling VIP wristbands from club to club is wearing thin. And that economic stimulus check? Yeah, thanks, but all it bought was a few more tanks of high-priced gas. At least the beauty gods are smiling down on our frugal souls. Hallelujah! GBS The Beauty Store is blessing us with Glam It Up. This monthlong campaign is the saving grace for that empty bottle of Jergens lotion and the crusty vials of nail polish in your medicine cabinet.

All five local locations will offer complimentary minifacials, hair and scalp treatments, hands-on demos, and other means of pretty pampering for the entire month of June. If you don’t trust your own heavy, unskilled hands, pros from Nioxin, Murad, Phyto, and other companies will be on hand to provide trade secrets and basic tools for turning your look from budget to bangin’. And yeah, there’ll be samples and discounts galore, so you get an immediate return on the gas you burn zooming to the location nearest you. Visit www.gbsbeauty.com for a complete schedule of events or to make an appointment.
