Color Correction

Carter Barnes Salon has built its reputation in Atlanta on Hair Color. When a client comes to us with an old Ombré color looking for a softer take on this trend, our colorists are up to the job.

Adjusting the color on the ends so they are not so vibrant and adding pencil point highlights throughout the hair results in a beautiful mahogany coppery brown with soft copper highlights giving a nod to the Ombré on the ends.

The Carter Barnes Team

For nearly 30 years, Carter Barnes has been on the cutting edge of hair care in Atlanta but the foundation of their business has always been great hair color. Before settling in Atlanta and opening Carter Barnes Salon, Carey Carter, Mitchell Barnes, and Perri Higbie traveled the World for L’Oréal teaching stylists about hair color and cutting techniques. That passion for sharing their knowledge and  experience is the reason why the salon has always featured a staff of the freshest, most talented and best trained stylists in Atlanta. Not only does the entire Carter Barnes staff receive regular in-house training in hair color techniques, Carter Barnes also brings in some of the most acclaimed stylists in the industry to ensure that the staff of the salon is always ahead of trends.

Pregnancy Q&A with Marianna L. Kovitch of Atlanta Smiles & Wellness

Posted on September 1, 2016 by Best Self Atlanta staff

Marianna L. Kovtich - Atlanta Smiles & Wellness - Sawyer Photography - BSA 0916

Q: I’ve heard teeth can shift during pregnancy. Is this true? 

A: During pregnancy, lots of changes occur.  Not only does your body gain weight and move organs around to make room for the growing fetus, but you also produce a hormone called relaxin. Relaxin does several things, including relaxing your pelvic muscles, making your feet grow and even affecting tooth movement by impacting the periodontal ligament (PDL). This shifting can be prevented by being custom-fitted at your dentist’s office for a retainer to wear while you sleep, during your pregnancy and through nursing.

Breast Enlargement & Breast Lift | Asaf Yalif, MD | Y Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery | Masters of Makeover

If heredity, pregnancy, breast-feeding or the natural pull of gravity due to aging has resulted in deflated, drooping, or a less than satisfactory breast contour, breast augmentation and/or breast lift surgery can help.

Breast enlargement (augmentation) is a procedure that can greatly enhance one’s personal image and confidence.  It involves placing an incision on or near the breast and inserting an implant. The implant can be placed behind the breast, or behind the breast and the pectoralis muscle.

The implants are all made of silicone but can be filled with either saline (salt water) or silicone gel. The implants also come in round or anatomical (tear-drop) shapes and a variety of sizes. During our consultation, the patient picks the right shape, volume, and projection based on her personal measurements. At that time, we will also discuss ptosis – which is the droop of the nipple/areola.  If the nipple is very droopy, which commonly occurs after breast-feeding, you may be a candidate for a breast lift.

Y Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery Before and After - BSA 0916

A breast lift is a little different than an augmentation and involves additional incisions with the goal being to restore the breast mound and nipple to its more youthful position. A breast lift can also be done in conjunction with an augmentation with a breast implant.

Screen Shot 2016-09-16 at 2.11.02 PM

Make sure that you consult with a board-certified plastic and reconstructive surgeon who does this type of surgery often.  At Y Plastic Surgery, we offer complimentary breast augmentation/lift consultations so that all of your questions can be answered, and we then partner with you to create a plan tailor-made to your goals and specific anatomy.

Dr. Elizabeth Whitaker is a Master of Makeovers indeed, having transformed thousands of lives with her natural-looking Signature facial procedures.  The first female fellowship-trained Double Board-Certified Facial Plastic Surgeon to practice in Atlanta, she is among the most experienced facial plastic surgeons not only in Atlanta, but the country.  Indeed, she’s been selected as one of America’s Top Plastic Surgeons.*

Dr. Whitaker founded Atlanta Face and Body Center to offer the latest technology for nonsurgical and minimally invasive procedures, as well as her surgical expertise. “Rather than waiting until you need a surgical procedure, you can maintain a youthful look with smaller procedures at every stage of life, which I believe is the new ‘aging gracefully,’” says Dr. Whitaker.

Dr. Whitaker Before and After - BSA 0916

“That being said, one of the most rewarding procedures I perform is lifting of the face and neck.  My Signature Lifts can be performed with gentle numbing and relaxation, avoiding general anesthesia, and emphasizing a natural, not overdone look.”  She adds, “Enhancing appearance is just the beginning.  Transforming how people feel about themselves, helping renew their confidence and self-image, is incredibly gratifying.” *Castle Connolly 2016

Over time, your skin loses its youthful glow due to sun exposure and the natural aging process. As a result, you develop sunspots, discoloration and fine lines. Halo Pro, the world’s first hybrid fractional laser treatment, eliminates years of sun damage by using two lasers simultaneously at two separate depths of the skin to restore the luminous glow you had when you were younger.

In the past, you had to choose between a procedure that offered great results but required a lengthy recovery, or a procedure with a fast recovery that only offered marginal results. Now, you can have the best of both worlds: great results with minimal downtime. Halo combines deep dermal rejuvenation with epidermal renewal for a combined synergistic effect you can’t get with any other treatment. This new state-of-the-art laser treatment allows you to achieve beautiful results and radiant skin without having to take time away from your daily activities.
