ocated in the Shops at Portofino Tower in South Beach’s prestigious South Pointe neighborhood, Danny Jelaca is a pristine and stylish sanctuary offering the finest in luxury hair care services. Danny Jelaca, one of South Florida’s most acclaimed hairstylists, opened his namesake salon in September of 2012. Jelaca, is a renowned expert when it comes to the art of creating beautiful hair. Le CITY deluxe had the pleasure to speak with the master stylist. Indulge us on what it’s like to run your own salon? Prior to opening up my business I worked at Stella Salon where my sole focus was on doing the hair. Now, not only do I work on hair and styling, but I also run the day-to-day operations. It’s very exciting. My job has evolved to something more. I have employees, I teach and mentor. I am also currently working on starting a hair jewelry line and hair accessories. A lot more opportunities have opened up for me. Will there be more locations opening in the future? This has all been a dream come true for me. I always aspired to have a boutique in South Pointe and I am very happy here. I would like to make my presence known in other places, but I am not sure that the timing is right for me to expand just yet. I would love to open up a salon in Aspen and perhaps in Los Angeles, but these are just long-term goals. Do your celebrity clients come to your boutique or do you provide mobile services? There are few that come and see me at the salon, but there are also those who request my
presence elsewhere. My clientele is so diverse. I see politicians, athletes, models, actors, musicians and each have different requirements. Many local celebrities like Adrianna DeMoura from the Real Housewives of Miami, are on my client list.
"Styling is one of the most enjoyable aspects of my profession" Which part of your work do you enjoy the most? Styling is one of the most enjoyable aspects of my profession. I love working with models and doing fashion shows. I am heavily involved in the fashion world, especially here in Miami, and work with Mercedes Benz Fashion Show. Miami has a unique variety of hair textures from European to Hispanic. Is there a particular hair type that you like to work with? I love the diversity of hair textures. Two problems that we tend to are the humidity and the sun damaged hair. I like to use different techniques on different hair and I have great ways of combating different elements. For fine hair I use certain products like Luminescence, which is great for conditioning and volume. To manage hair in this humidity, we use irons with vapor along with Argan Oil that does wonders.
Tell us about your famous hair loss treatment? We offer great hair loss treatment by Leonor Greyl that has a lot of vitamins and minerals that help stimulate hair growth. We also have a special suction tool that stimulates hair follicles and it’s fantastic. The hair loss treatment takes about 12 weeks and has amazing results. The best thing about it is that it is all natural. Moreover, we have micro cameras that track the progress of hair growth from the day you start to the end of the treatment. The difference from day 1 to week 12 is astounding. How vital is good diet for healthy hair? The diet is key to healthy hair. The beautiful thing about Miami is that it is a very health conscious city. We have juice bars popping up all over the place, and more restaurants now acknowledge the importance of proper nutrition. Daily intake of vitamins is not only important for overall health, but also for great skin and hair. What do you like the most about South Beach? I love the vibe here in South Beach. It has it’s own style. You can see a woman from Paris or a woman from New York, and it would be hard to pinpoint where exactly she’s from. But when you see a woman from Miami, you know that she’s from here. South Beach is a sexy melting pot of Europe and South America. South Beach is a mecca for beautiful people, gorgeous beaches, unique fashion, and a great nightlife scene

The new Dr. Sharp Natural Oral Care line of toothpastes includes the Wild Berry Kids for children, which is safe for children of all ages, and the Fresh Mint with Green Tea for adults containing more natural ingredients and natural flavors. In addition to these two new and improved products, Dr. Sharp Natural Oral Care added a Fresh Mint Alcohol-Free Mouthwash crafted with the finest natural mint oils and extracts, and a Green Tea Mint Dental Tape, a fine and effective dental tape that offers anti-inflammatory, antiseptic, antibacterial, antifungal, and antiviral properties. In the development of these products, it was especially important to Valeria and Vanessa that the new Wild Berry Kids toothpaste would have natural flavors and safe ingredients. As mothers, they knew that the two most harmful risks for children less than six years of age, regarding toothpaste with fluoride, is the ingestion (which can cause poisoning and possible death) and dental fluorosis (a white or brown mottling, pitting, cracking and staining of the teeth).
In keeping up with the Dr. Sharp Natural Oral Care philosophy, the new Wild Berry Kids toothpaste offers nature’s best combination of berry flavors to indulge children of all ages and helping to make their brushing a pleasant routine. This children’s toothpaste contains Xylitol and other natural extracts with soothing properties. It is safe for children of all ages and helps promote healthy teeth and gums. There are no artificial colors added and contains natural flavors.The Fresh Mint with Green Tea toothpaste offers the best of both, an appealing aroma and pleasant flavor by combining natural mint flavors and green tea extracts. It also contains Xylitol, Green Tea and other natural extracts with soothing properties while helping to whiten teeth naturally and refreshes breath. The Fresh Mint with Green Tea toothpaste promotes healthy teeth and gums, has no artificial colors added, and contains natural flavors.(1 of 2)Dr. Sharp’s Natural Alcohol-Free Fresh Mint Mouthwash uses a fluoride and detergent-free formula that contains no synthetic colors, flavors, or alcohol. Witch Hazel, Licorice, and Sage extracts with soothing properties combined with aromatic mint flavors to provide a fresh mouthwash for daily use after brushing. The utmost care and dedication went into creating the new Dr. Sharp Green Tea Dental Tape, containing anti- inflammatory, anti-
septic, antibacterial, antifungal, and antiviral properties. It helps promote healthy teeth and gums, is made with Teflon®, has no colors added, and natural flavor. The entire packaging is recyclable (including the steel cutter).The Dr. Sharp complete line of oral care products is Fluoride-Free, SLS-Free, Paraben-Free and Alcohol-Free.

consisting of polypeptide growth factors and immunomodulating agents derived from 3-D cell culture of human dermal fibroblasts grown using NASA patented bioreactor simulating microgravity environment. Fibroblast skin cells are naturally found in the layers of human skin, mostly in the hypodermis layer. The fibroblast cell function is to biosynthesize the connective tissues (extracellular matrix) that provides structural support and play a critical role in healing. Fibroblasts cells are responsible in making collagens, glycosaminoglycan, reticular, elastic fibers and glycoproteins. Biogenix stimulates the growth of fibroblast cells. Skin tissue damage stimulates the fibroblast cells which induce the creation of the skin extracellular matrix (healing) in the human body. The human body generates less fibroblast cells as it ages, thus creating wrinkles, sagging, and blemishes. Replenishing these cells allows the skin to repair itself naturally. When applied to your skin, your skin absorbs the Biogenix compound and stimulates the repair of your skin naturally from wrinkles, looseness and sagging that comes from age. Renuèll makes your skin healthier and look younger, firmer, and smoother. Results may vary, depending on skin type and absorption rate, on average results can be seen within 3-5 days of use Shop now at an preferential price, for limited time only www.le-citydeluxe.com/shop

MEN & AESThETiCS
“The Blood Facial is the rising star in skin rejuvenation which only recently became popular after Kim Kardashian had this procedure done on her reality show.”

Such surgeries are quite common amongst men who are coming off from using testosterone. It is common to see men develop palpable glandular tissue underneath the areola. This is called gynecomastia. It can be addressed by liposuction in that very specific area, surgically removing the glandular tissue or a combination of both. When the testosterone dissipates from the body, some of it is converted into estrogen which causes breast gland stimulation. "I'm seeing quite a few of these cases with age ranges from 17 and 18 year olds to men in their mid 40s and 50s," said Dr. Craft.
“MOdErN MEN CArE AbOuT ThEir APPEArANCE AS MuCh AS ThE OPPOSiTE SEx.” Another pervasive concern for men are love handles. Even if a man follows a good exercise program and is on a healthy diet, hormone shifts that naturally occur with age can make those fatty deposits next to impossible to conquer. "Using precision sculpting and hiding the incisions in the belly button and on the most lateral part of the hip, near the natural belt line, I can access those trouble spots," said Dr. Craft. This minimally invasive procedure is quite fashionable along with the growth in the men’s
grooming field. While more men are taking a good look in the mirror, not everyone is opting to go under the knife. So what is the men’s best second option? Facials. They're going for the most cutting edge treatments, things that give them the greatest return for the minimal time invested. Moreover, the recovery time for such procedures is minimal. In Miami, that means one thing: the Blood Facial. The Blood Facial is the rising star in skin rejuvenation which only recently became popular after Kim Kardashian had this procedure done on her reality show. “It’s all natural,” explained Dr. Julio Gallo, medical director and a board certified plastic surgeon at The Miami Institute. The blood facial uses platelet rich plasma and the platelets are derived directly from the patient's blood.The treatment uses an advanced needling device that pushes the platelets deep into the layers of the skin, allowing them to go to work inside, revealing a youthful appearance on the outside. The platelets release natural tissue regenerating factors and studies show that platelet growth factors are released for up to 7 days, supporting collagen production and dermal matrix reconstruction. "And the results keep getting better and better," explained Dr. Gallo. "That's why I believe men are very interested in this procedure. There is little to no downtime so their investment of time is noticeably rewarded." SEPT-OCT 2013
odern men care about their appearance as much as the opposite sex.The giveaway of such shift in trends, are advertisements for male formulated skincare products and the steady growth of the market for the last seven years. But a well groomed face is just the beginning. More men are seeking out cosmetic procedures to refine, rejuvenate and chisel, than ever before. In 2012, men accounted for 9% of all cosmetic surgeries with the top procedures being gynecomastia, facelift and eyelid surgeries. The most popular non-invasive procedures amongst men are hair transplants and skin rejuvenation with light, lasers and cellular therapies. "I'm seeing a lot more males for body contouring procedures," said Dr Phillip Craft, board certified plastic surgeon at The Miami Institute for Age Management and Intervention. "I just had a case the other day that is an example of a growing trend." Recently there was the case involving a college-aged young man with a fantastic figure. He took testosterone a few years ago and now that it has worn off, instead of having a good looking chiseled chest, he had what looked like early, pre-pubescent female breasts. Dr. Craft took on the case and was able to reverse the damage. "I did a small incision, completely hiding it in the areola. I was able to remove that glandular tissue. He is very happy because now his chest matches the rest of his physique," explained Dr. Craft.
