    About this ebook

    Maternity Salon was created by Maria Fontana, a top stylist, master colorist, educator, salon owner, author and most importantly mother. She’s owned several top salons on the East coast and has done platform work with popular stylists from around the country. She’s worked with stylists from around the United States and other international countries.

    Maria’s reason for creating Maternity Salon was for the simple reason that there were no hair care or beauty resources for expectant or busy mothers. Maria, being a mother of two and a business woman, knows how difficult it becomes to take care of yourself when you’re taking care of everyone else.

    Sometimes getting in the shower and doing your own hair can prove to be the hardest task of all when you’re a mom. Knowing this familiar feeling, Maria created Maternity Salon. It’s a place where everyone can go to find simple, easy advice on hair color, styles, skin, nail, and products from a professional stylist and beauty industry veteran.

    Maternity Salon was created to empower women with beauty and wellness knowledge. If you look good, you will feel good.

      The Beauty Guide - Maria Fontana

      Introduction

      Feeling and being pretty are all in the same, you cannot have one without the other. So your magical journey begins with the little secret that only a few select people know and soon it’s all about the baby. Much to my dismay the waiting room of the Ob/Gyn’s office left me concerned, not for myself, but the future of all the expectant and new Moms, let me explain, as a seasoned professional in the beauty industry I naturally notice hair, nails, skin well you get the idea. And as I sat waiting in the Dr’s office there are number of pregnant women waiting also, most of them in sweats and no make-up, really no attempt was made by these women to look good. My mind was racing…why? I thought. Does being pregnant mean you stop taking care of yourself? Is it all about the baby? How about MOM? Was this a silent epidemic? I began interviewing every expectant woman and clients who would answer my questions, what I found was shocking. Most women are truly not sure what to do and not to do while expecting…. I always took my knowledge for granted during my pregnancies and felt it was time to share my professional insight for the greater good of expectant women, thus MaternitySalon was born.

      As a mom of two beautiful children I have experienced different and enlightening pregnancies which have forever changed my soul. The art of self care is first and foremost in a positive and beautiful pregnancy. I know this to be true because I have found the state of your mind and attitude toward yourself and where you put your focus on will reflect in your beauty experience. Now and always remember to care for mom first and then give to others, the first step toward well being and balance is loving yourself and the beauty of your changing body. I will share my personal and professional insight to help you savor the nine month journey to look and feel your best. As always follow through with your physician and follow your gut, it will always speak your personal truth.

      May your pregnancy be filled with love, light, laughter and radiant beauty!!!

      1. Beauty

      When I think of what to Beauty truly means I cannot help but think pregnancy! Of course there are new things we experience and some may be more challenging than others, and with positive thoughts and dreams you can create the pregnancy experience you deserve.

      Through many years of working in the beauty industry I have learned that beauty is an encompassing thought pattern which can easily be brought into life on a daily basis. Beauty to me means inner and outer love, taking time for you; acceptance, joy etc.....nurture yourself and enjoy the moment.

      I have experienced two pregnancies, one that I struggled through the whole 9 months because I was consumed with fear and was not aware that I had a right to take good care of myself emotionally. I had been told to eat right and get ready for the baby, nurturing myself and beauty did not exist and my experience mirrored my lack of self love and attention.

      Years later I was blessed with my second pregnancy, only this time I applied and lived new acts of self-love and nurturing. I focused on only
