Beauty treatment gone bad? Suffer in silence and you'll just end up a sucker. Here's how to deal with the six trickiest characters at the salon or spa.
1. The Toe-Tapper
OPI Vampsterdam or Essie Mink Muffs? With a testy nail tech breathing down your neck, you feel pressured to grab a trendy green and convince yourself you love it. (You hate it.)
What to Say: Nothing. Stay strong, and take your sweet time, says Jin Soon Choi, owner of Jin Soon Hand and Foot Spas. "Problems start when you rush," says Soon. Our regret-proof method: Go in with bare nails, and test out a few shades before the mani begins. If you're chronically indecisive, take a BYOP approach — you'll save yourself stress and leave with a mani you love.
2. The Chatty Cathy
As soon as the lights go down, this facialist or masseuse wants to know your life story.
What to Say: At the first sign of convo: "Just a warning — I may fall asleep. I've been so looking forward to some quiet time." Or if you need to break out the big guns, pull the syndrome card — say you have a migraine.
3. The Novice
Has this person actually done this before? You could give yourself a better mani/wax/dye job — for free!
What to Say: "Sorry, but I'm in a rush. Is there someone who can do this faster?" says Cindy Barshop, founder of Completely Bare spas. Denied? Tell a manager the treatment feels a little off. If it's botched, demand a refund.
4. The Spray-Tanning Terror
From the details (like lotioning up your hands and feet) to the big stuff (creating giant streaks!), this tanner's asleep at the wheel.
What to Say: It's hard to be assertive when you're standing naked in a shower cap, so disguise criticism as breezy conversation. "Say, 'Do you think we should blend that out?' or 'Hey, do you think this looks too dark?'" says spray-tan pro Anna Stankiewicz. Questions are less intimidating than demands and allow the tech to remain in control.
5. The Misinterpreter
You said "long layers" but left with The Rachel.
What to Say: First, try not to freak, then ask for a fix. "A good stylist will do anything to correct the damage," says celeb colorist Rita Hazan. If the solution requires a total overhaul, don't leave without a credit slip.
6. The Product Pusher
Your hair's not even dry and your stylist has $50 worth of stuff waiting at the counter.
What to Say: "Thanks, but I love what I'm currently using." Or say it's not in your budget — people get funny about money.
To Cry or Not to Cry?
Save the tears (if possible) — crying can cause a scene and typically makes the other person super defensive, notes Hazan. If you feel a meltdown coming on, our experts recommend taking the manager to a private area to resolve the issue ... and to be direct about a refund (if you want one). E-mail can also be effective. "When I get complaints, I always take care of it," says Choi. And if all else fails, there's always Yelp (or Twitter)!

How To Wear Casual Loose Fit Pastels | Resort 2015 Trend
Casual loose pastels first made their major appearance at the spring fashion weeks last year, but if the Resort/15 collections are anything to go by, the rein of pastel is set to continue. From the dusty and rose pinks of Jill Stuart, DKNY and Bone, the minty greens at Sportmax and Tibi, the safari neutrals of Giorgio Armani and the creamy whites of Reed Krakoff, there’s a pastel macaroon hue for everyone.
Have you always thought pastel colors are not for you? Think again. Due to the sheer variety of shades, anyone can sport this trend simply by picking the most flattering colour to suit. Its appearance on the casual loose fit styles of the season like slouchy pants, long coats, boxy jumpers and the ever popular culottes also make this a trend fashionable, easy to wear and dare we say it… even comfy?
Far from the sickly sweet styles restricted for girly girls pastels, we have been given a sporty and sleek update this season, making them suitable for work, a weekend brunch and everything in between.
Pastels are a great way to add colour to an outfit for those who favour a more monochromatic palette – simply select one pastel coloured piece and pair it with neutrals. We love the casual look of a fresh mint sweater with loose fit white trousers and shirt as seen at Sportmax, and the chic and effortless combination of dusty pink high-waisted silk trousers and grey tank a la Jill Stuart.
For the fashion bold, an all-pastel ensemble is a truly striking look. The key here is layering and texture – take note from the styling of Donna Karan, Michael Kors and Giorgio Armani. A cheeky flash of leg in cropped trousers or arm peeping from a sleeveless jacket is enough to balance the block colour out. Don’t be afraid to also experiment, with the combination of pastel and bolder patterns.
Perhaps the most exciting thing about this trend is how it manages to feminize even the most masculine inspired pieces, which is particularly handy given the sporty edge that runs through some of the loose fit shapes. Who will dare to challenge you when your tracksuit-esque outfit is in a gorgeously delicious salmon-pink coloured silk and finished off with an ever-practical pair of slides? No one! And the best part is that you don’t even have to wait for the warmer weather to wear what has been dubbed as the “it” shade of the season. Pastel-tastic, we say.

CANNES DO RIVIERA STYLE
Cannes; playground to the rich and glamorous, a veritable haven for European socialites and wealthy oil heirs who are required to do little more in life than top up their bronzed bodies on the deck of their parents yachts. The palm tree lined marina and mountainous panorama makes Cannes seem like the perfect setting for a glamorous television show (or a fantastic reality show –yes, we would be the first to tune into an episode of the Real Housewives Of Cannes) which is probably why the French Southern city was designated as the perfect location to host the worlds most glamorous film festival.
The prestigious Cannes Film Festival returns this week with a roster of A-Lister´s that have us salivating over the potential of having so many celebrities concentrated in one small area.
With the red carpet historically offering up a multitude of glamorous red carpet looks, we take a look back at some of our favourite Cannes styles and show you how to recreate the look for yourself.
Cara Delevigne
2013 was most definitely the year of Cara Delevigne, and after capturing the world’s heart with her unkempt brow and unnatural facial expressions, we were happy to see Cara take a more demure turn for the Cannes unveiling of The Great Gatsby movie. We haven’t quite worked out why Cara was actually at the event, but if Tara Reid can make an appearance then no one is going to turn away Cara. After spending the day hob-nobbing with the likes of Georgia May Jagger on Roberto Cavalli’s yacht , Cara made her Cannes debut in a black lace gown by Burberry accompanied by $100,000 worth of Chopard jewels that made her look every inch a true supermodel. Copy Cara’s red-carpet stealing style with the stunning Mavie gown by Tarik Ediz. The plunging neckline of the gown is accented with a crystal brooch that simply looks divine when paired with the Crystal Headlight necklace by Kenneth Jay Lane. Complete Cara’s Cannes style with Ophelia earrings by Dannijo and a smear of bright red lipstick to bring this show-stopping look to life.
Diane Kruger
We’re pretty sure that you could put Diane Kruger in a bin liner and she would make it look amazing, so it wasn’t a huge surprise that she stole the show at the 65th Cannes Film Festival dazzling the crowd in an ethereal Chanel gown in 2012. In a beautiful mint green that perfectly complimented her porcelain complexion, Diane went for subtlety when it came to her jewellery with simple Jaeger-LeCoultre earrings and a delicate bracelet. Try this look for yourself with the Catherine Deane, Owren gown in the same asymmetric style as Diane. Pair this diaphanous piece with the Phillipa earrings by Dannijo and swept back hair to create a red carpet look that would rival Diane’s natural glamour.
Ashwariya Rai
Ashwariya Rai has long proven herself to be the queen of Cannes, astounding us every year with an array of stunning gowns. We love the beautifully intricate asymmetric gown Ashwariya wore to the opening ceremony of the 2011 edition of the competition at the Palais des Festivals. Cut in a flattering asymmetric fit with peplum detail this lace dress empasized Ashwariya’s statuesque silhouette. Recreate the look in theNotte by Marchesa, Carmen gown in a flattering latte tone this dress is perfect for black tie dressing. Accessorise this piece with the Dannijo Vaughn ring for some understated glamour.
