Many people assume facials are best saved for spring or summer — but in reality, winter is the most important time of year for professional skincare, especially in New York.

At Racine Salon in Islip, NY, winter is when we see the greatest transformation in our clients’ skin through consistent, professional facials using Comfort Zone skincare.

Winter in New York is tough on skin — especially here on Long Island. Cold temperatures, harsh winds, and indoor heating strip the skin of moisture, weaken the skin barrier, and often lead to dryness, redness, and sensitivity. Many clients notice their skin feeling tight, dull, or irritated during the colder months, even if their routine worked perfectly in summer.

As we head into a brand-new year, many of us crave a fresh start—new goals, new routines, and sometimes, a new look. If you’re ready to step into the new year feeling confident, refreshed, and fully you, Bellami Hair Extensions offer one of the most transformative beauty upgrades you can make.

The holidays are quickly approaching, and finding a meaningful gift doesn’t have to be stressful. If you’re looking for something thoughtful, high-quality, and guaranteed to be appreciated, Racine has you covered. From luxurious haircare and spa-level skincare to the gift of choice, these holiday favorites make it easy to check everyone off your list.

In a sea of beauty products and quick-fix promises, Comfort Zone stands out as a brand rooted in science, sustainability, and real skin health. That’s why at our salon we trust it to deliver visible, lasting results while caring for skin — and the planet.

When it comes to packing for vacation, most of us obsess over outfits, swimsuits, and skincare, but hair care tends to get left behind. The truth is, your hair faces some of its toughest challenges on vacation: strong sun exposure, salty ocean swims, chlorine from hotel pools, and the constant cycle of styling and washing. All of these can leave strands feeling dry, brittle, and faded.

Longer days, sunshine, beach weekends—summer is all about letting loose. But if you’re rocking hair extensions, the season can also bring some serious challenges for your strands. Whether you’ve just had a fresh install or you’re a longtime extension lover, proper care is key to keeping your look flawless from June through Labor Day.

Your wedding day look should feel timeless—but that doesn’t mean it can’t be on-trend. At Racine’s Top Floor, our stylists specialize in creating custom bridal hair and makeup that reflect both your unique style and the season you're celebrating in. From soft spring color palettes to sleek winter glam, here’s how we tailor our artistry to the time of year—so you can look and feel your best on your big day.
