Chuck Drake brings expertise to Salon 7<br />
by Laura Douglass<br />
<strong>Times</strong> Reporter<br />
There’s a new face in town<br />
ready to treat your face to just the<br />
right amount of color and pampering.<br />
Cosmetologist Chuck<br />
Drake of Salon 7 is a hair stylist<br />
and skin care specialist with<br />
an impressive resume.<br />
A guest makeup artist with<br />
Lancome, Drake has done hair<br />
and makeup <strong>for</strong> television commercials<br />
and movies in the Miami<br />
area, <strong>for</strong> Bergdorf Goodman<br />
fashion shows in NYC, and has<br />
studied in England at the Vidal<br />
Sassoon school.<br />
“Most people need help choosing<br />
foundation colors,” said Drake.<br />
“Our skin tone is either cool or<br />
warm. Finding the right shade is<br />
very important as is finding a<br />
compatible blush color <strong>for</strong> your<br />
skin tone.”<br />
Drake said he prefers mineral<br />
makeup because it is healthier<br />
<strong>for</strong> the skin and does not<br />
contain fillers, binders, or fragrance.<br />
“You can actually sleep<br />
with it on your face,” explained<br />
Drake, “and I like the natural<br />
look.”<br />
Frequently called upon to apply<br />
makeup <strong>for</strong> special occasions,<br />
Drake said he encourages anyone<br />
who would like tips on how<br />
to make up eyes, lips, or with help<br />
finding the proper placement <strong>for</strong><br />
blush on the cheek, to give him<br />
a call.<br />
“Eyebrow shaping is huge,”<br />
said Drake. “A lot of people don’t<br />
have the proper shape <strong>for</strong> their<br />
face shape – and this can make<br />
a huge difference.”<br />
Drake also strongly encourages<br />
proper skin care and sun<br />
protection. “Sun is the main<br />
source of aging on the skin.”<br />
At Salon 7, Drake can apply a<br />
mild chemical peel, which he<br />
says is preferable over microdermabrasion.<br />
The half hour<br />
process is effective in smoothing<br />
out wrinkles, plumping up skin,<br />
and will allow moisturizers to<br />
penetrate more effectively.<br />
Drake said current hair style<br />
trends are a bit longer with long<br />
layers and low maintenance.<br />
“People don’t want to spend a lot<br />
of time on their hair.”<br />
A hair color specialist, Drake<br />
said shine and dimension,<br />
instead of highlights, are very natural<br />
and healthy looking. He also<br />
cautioned against using shampoos<br />
with a lot of raw protein,<br />
such as those <strong>for</strong>mulated <strong>for</strong><br />
body-building. “They will build<br />
up and make your hair dry and<br />
dull.”<br />
Drake is available <strong>for</strong> appointments<br />
every other Thursday and<br />
Friday at Salon 7. He can be<br />
reached at 673-1967.<br />
