Glamour Magazine just awarded this super serum the "All Time Best Natural Beauty Product"! Our staff and customers at Paul Labrecque Skincare Spa all agree. It is not everyday a beauty product like this comes along with so many raves reviews and glowing endorsements. This serum is special.

Like a fine wine Vintner's Daughter Active Botanical Serum was created and formulated by winery owner and entrepreneur April Gargiulo. Her passion to formulate an all natural serum was born out of the desire to have the finest quality, multi-correctional serum that was also toxin-free. Disappointed with all-natural products that ceded results for a smell-good formula or weren’t in fact “all-natural”, April used her years of fine wine making principals of quality and refinement to create Vintner's Daughter Active Botanical Serum.

Vintner’s Daughter Active Botanical Serum is a multi-correctional phytoactive treatment for the face formulated to deliver the most powerful skin beautifying nutrition. Active Botanical Serum is 100% natural and formulated without added sulphates, parabens, phthalates, synthetic fragrances, PEGs, or SLSs.

What makes this super serum so special?
The heart of the Active Botanical Serum is the signature Phyto Radiance Infusion, a time-honored combination of the world’s most nutrient dense whole plants like nettle, dandelion and alfalfa. Phyto Radiance Infusion teems with skin brightening and balancing phyto-nutrients and skin firming phyto-ceramides. These powerful active botanical ingredients work deep in the dermal layers to reveal more radiant and healthy skin. 

What is the science behind skin nutrition and Vintner's Daughter?
Vintner's Daughter starts with the world’s most nutrient dense, organic, whole plants and honors them through a methodical formulation process that extracts their full spectrum of activity and nutrition. Combined the serum provides multiple benefits for glowing radiant skin.

ANTIOXIDANTS: Alpha and beta-carotene, carotenoids, lutein, lycopene, flavonoids and the mineral selenium are powerful skin defenders and free-radical fighting agents protecting the skin from environmental stress, while improving cellular function.

VITAMINS: Ultra critical vitamins A, D, E, K are known to build collagen, smooth, brighten, repair, heal and protect the skin from aging.

MINERALS: Iron, magnesium, silica, sulfur, calcium, copper, potassium and zinc strengthen the skin while allowing vitamins, phyto-nutrients, fatty acids and antioxidants to penetrate the skin more effectively.

PHYTONUTRIENTS & PHYTOCERAMIDES:These plant-based skin-restoring nutrients help heal and soothe photodamage, inflammation and oxidative stress to reduce the signs of aging.

FATTY ACIDS: Fatty acids, including omegas 3, 6, 7, and 9, hydrate, soothe, help to retain collagen and strengthen the skin’s barrier function.

The benefits for your your skin are unlike any other. Vintner's Daughter Active Botanical Serum restores balance and natural radiance. Fights the signs of aging and stimulates cellular turnover. Increases skin elasticity, clarity and tightens pores. Reduces inflammation and redness. Brightens, smooths and repair's the skin's barrier. Protects against free-radical damage. Suitable to treat acne prone skin types.

No surprise Glamour Magazine awarded Vintner's Daughter Active Botanical Serum "All Time Best Natural Beauty Product" for their 2018 Best of Beauty awards.

Whether it’s because of over-processing or the drying winter winds, no one enjoys the feeling of dry, frizzy hair. But, if you’re a redhead — by birthright or by choice — those frizzy hair woes may be worse than the average brunette or blonde ever experiences. If this is a struggle you experience, not to worry. Adrienne and Stephanie Vendetti of How To Be A Redhead, both natural redheads, visited the Paul Labrecque Salon and Spa in New York City for some frizz help. Their experience speaks for itself.

The Problem With Red Hair

Whether yours is a fiery red or a sweet strawberry blonde, red hues are some of the most appealing and beautiful shades for hair. The problem, as we mentioned above, is the frizz. The dye process needed to take your hair to red can often be more harsh than going either brown or blonde. The result may be a bright, bold red, but it’s probably also going to leave you with locks that need a lot of additional love to ease the frizz that comes from all the processing.

Even more interesting (though probably pretty annoying) is how natural red hair grows. Natural redheads have hair that is more coarse and frizzy. In addition, individual strands are thicker than those of brunettes or blondes, which makes up for the fact that redheads often have less hair. The overall result is that it means natural redheads are more susceptible to frizz issues than other hair types. It can also mean an ongoing struggle to fight the frizz without straightening away your beautiful curls.

Enter The Paul Labrecque Team

In order to find a more lasting way to smooth out frizzy red hair without losing their natural curl, the Vendetti sisters visited the Paul Labrecque Salon and Spa for some redhead tailored hair care. In 2004, the salon was named the best salon for redheads by New York Magazine and continues to be at the fore of redhead-friendly treatments. Paul’s recommendation for ditching the frizz and enhancing those natural curls? A keratin hair straightening treatment. At first glance, we understand if you did a double-take. A straightening treatment for redheads who don’t want to lose their curls? Yes! Just bear with us.

The idea behind keratin treatments is to condition and reconstruct each strand of hair and leave it sleek, smooth, soft, and shiny. While the treatment does involve straightening your hair initially, it won’t stay that way — only the hair smoothing results will. The duo recorded a video of the process, complete with before and after images, to show you the effects of the Paul Labrecque Salon keratin straightening treatment. The video explains how the treatment works, and shows Paul going through segment by segment to ensure every strand gets sufficient attention. After a keratin treatment, it’s advised you leave your hair alone for two to four days to allow the treatment to really take root. Once the initial few days have passed, you can wash, dry, and style as usual, though you’ll want to avoid salt water and shampoos with sodium laureth sulfate as both can remove the keratin more quickly. Be sure to watch the end of the video because both sisters show off their freshly washed, product-free hair. Even while damp, the difference is clear that the keratin treatment provided lasting de-frizzing without inhibiting curl.

Soft, Smooth Shine

Fortunately, keratin hair straightening treatments aren’t restricted to those with red hair, natural or otherwise. If you’re looking for a way to tame your frizz in an enduring way, contact the team at the Paul Labrecque Salon and Spa in New York City to schedule your keratin treatment!

Firm, tone and slim down down before your big day with the Biologique Recherche Lotion P50 "Nouveau Seaweed Wrap" at Paul Labrecque. As seen in New York Magazine's Wedding Spring/Summer 2018 Edition "checklist" this is a must have body treatment for the bride to be looking to show off her glowing skin.

The cult French toner Biologique Recherche Lotion P50 is now being offered as a body treatment: The Lotion P 50 Slimming Algae Body Wrap at Paul Labrecque Salon & Skincare Spa. It begins with a P50 application and full body scrub followed by a lymphatic massage of the abdomen (this technique, also known as lymphatic drainage, is designed to increase the flow of the lymphatic system and flush out stagnant fluid). Finally, a foamy whip of algae paste, said to release toxins, is slathered on before you are folded into a hot blanket. The result is less bloating smoother and more even skin tone. The P50 Body Wrap has gained a following among Brides-To-Be. "When I got out, I felt lighter", says future bride Rica Silverio. "My dress is backless, and the exfoliation made my skin smoother."
