Behind The Brows

We all think of summer and winter as the times of the year when we need to care for our skin the most. We recognize the need to protect it from the July sun and the dry days of January. But what about fall? You're about to spend those afternoons outside at the orchard or walking through the woods. Or, turning on the heat in your house for the first time this year. So, as you're getting ready to pick the perfect pumpkin, fall is the ideal time for a few quick skin care reminders. Drink Water - Yes, you can still enjoy your pumpkin spice latte, but don't forget to drink your water. H2O is one of your skin's...

Summer is here, and it’s the perfect time to switch up your skincare! A few tips to help you get ready... Throw away all expired makeup and skincare products. Yes, it might be painful to get rid of some of your favorites, but if it looks old, toss it! Quality product chemistry and formulations are essential, but even the best products won't last forever, and you don't want to use products with bacteria build-up.  Clean and sanitize all of your products. 70% isopropyl alcohol is an excellent tool for keeping your products clean and protecting against unwanted viruses and bacteria – a simple mist or wipe, and it will evaporate away quickly.  Refresh your skincare regimen with light and fresh skincare...

  With Valentine’s coming up, here’s a thought I wanted to share… Valentine’s is a holiday that is all about love – our spouses and partners, our family members, and people we care about in our lives. We get cards and chocolates and massages and gifts to celebrate that love and let other people know how much we care. As we celebrate Valentine’s Day, I want to challenge you to include yourself in that list of people you love. We live in a culture where we face body-shaming and bullying, comparison and trying to keep up, and at the end of the day, all this chasing can be exhausting. In the process, instead of learning to love ourselves, we spend...

Is your skin dry, dehydrated, irritated, itchy, or flaky? Here are some of our best tips and tricks to help you look and feel your best during the winter season!

My heart is full of love and extreme gratitude because of all of YOU. I genuinely believe I have been blessed with the most amazing clientele, customers, friends, and business associates. You have all gone above and beyond to support my business and my family throughout this year – I will never be able to thank you enough.

2020 was supposed to be a year of new beginnings, exciting business adventures, and chasing dreams. At least that’s what I had in mind last January. 2020 had other plans for many of us...

Not only do I own Arch Addicts, but I am also a working esthetician. Like many of the professionals who follow me here, this pandemic has come with some challenges. Here's my personal journey...

Embrace your natural beauty! Natural “fluffy” brows are currently the biggest brow trend. Here are five tips for surviving your brow quarantine: #1- Don’t touch them. (We get it, the struggle is real! If you cannot leave them alone, we have pro tips and tricks for you!) #2-Don’t over tweeze. It only takes a few seconds to remove a few hairs but it might take weeks to see them again. Stay away from your arches and tails! #3-Ditch the magnifying mirror! We all have that LOVE/HATE relationship with our magnifying mirror and tend to reach for it. STOP! Now is not the time to use it.  #4-Trim like a pro, DO NOT use your kitchen scissors! Heavy, bulky, dull scissors will...

Looking back on 2019, negativity was all around (so much so that the Wall Street Journal highlighted it in an essay, For the New Year, Say No to Negativity.) It can be easy to tell ourselves that all the negativity is just in the headlines, but inevitably, it spills into our day-to-day lives, too. The negativity has been especially evident on social media. It seems like it sneaks in a little more every day, comment by comment, post by post. It’s showing up in our schools where we’re battling bullying and harassment. It’s creeping into our conversations and how we treat one another. So what does this have to do with eyebrows? It all comes back to beauty... Arch Addicts...

My name is Angela Lutz, and I’m … An entrepreneur, aesthetician, wife, mom, daughter, sister, aunt, best friend, and Arch Addict. That’s me. I spend my days combining all of these worlds. When I’m at home being a wife and mom, I’m still a business owner. When I’m leading Arch Addicts, or serving my clients as an aesthetician, I’m still a sister and a best friend. When I’m out with my sisters and friends, I’m still an entrepreneur. The concept of balance – where I turn one of these roles on and all the others off – is foreign to me. The professional me and the personal me blend together all the time. I don’t believe turning roles on and...
