“Beauty on Demand”

Why make a trip to the salon when a stylist can just come to you? Many entrepreneurs either work from home or simply do not have the time to make it to the salon, this is where GlamSquad comes in. Hair, nail, and makeup house calls are no longer exclusive to celebrities but are now accessible at just a click of a “Book” button on their mobile app. This was formally ran by CEO Alexandra Wilkis Wilson and is currently owned by Amy Shecter, two influential entrepreneur women. As of now, this service is only available in New York City, Los Angeles, Miami, and DC. However, if you ever visit one of these lucky cities, definitely make it a point to book a convenient yet celeb-level makeover from Glam Squad’s trained and trusted stylists.

Skip the Shopping Trip

Although it’s fun to test out numerous makeup samples at Sephora or your favorite department store beauty counter, it can be tedious to go through so many options and brands. We all have different beauty needs, occasions, and preferences, and entrepreneurs do not always have the time for the trial and error. Thanks to the rise of monthly product subscriptions, brands such as BirchBox, Ipsy, and BoxyCharm make the selection for you! By completing a short quiz, you can receive a personalized box of beauty samples. A plus-side for bloggers, these samples make for fabulous products reviews for the blog and stock photos for the Instagram feed!

Stop Wasting Time Waiting for Nails to Dry

When you are already in a hurry to paint your nails, it’s frustrating to spend another 10 minutes to wait for those freshly painted nails to dry before you can start your many tasks. To speed-up the drying process, simply let your nails sit in a bowl of cold water.

Braid Your Way to Night-Out Waves

Do you have a full work-day followed by a night of events? With damp hair, set your hair in boxer-braids and wear them over-night, during your work-day, or both. After you’ve taken down the braids, flip your hair over and spray with Bumble and Bumble Holding Spray or Nexxus Maxximum Finishing Spray. Viola! Your ready for night out.

Say Goodbye to Tired Eyes

If you’re busy running a business during the day, attending countless networking events in the evening, and continuing working on your business into the early hours of the morning, it can be difficult to achieve those suggested eight hours of sleep. This can lead to unsightly tired eyes. Take 15-20 minutes during your work-break to apply an eye-mask. You try at-home remedies by placing over the eyes either:

  1. Two soaked chamomile or green tea bags
  2. Chilled cucumber slices
  3. A mixture of one banana and one teaspoon of caster oil in muslin cloth

Of course, the ideal fix for eye darkness and puffiness is by hydrating with plenty of water and getting the appropriate amount of sleep.
