We had an awesome day today! We invited Wella Sebastian Regional Account Manager
and the Local Account Manager into our salon to talk about and demonstrate the new products that we are currently using in our salon. We have had a sensational experience with Wella because they explain the new concept behind the new wella products.

These new products provide a multi-sensory experience with orchid extract to give a calming affect on the skin. I’m speaking of the scalp. You know that your scalp is skin that can sometimes get itchy after a haircolor treatment. Some people are more sensitive then others. The sensitivity can occur from breakouts from redness from harsh sulfates which I’ve talked about in great depth on my blog http://www.skincareformatureskin.com

Check it out because it is truly informative. The multi-sensory experience is included in all of the shampoo’s, conditioners, masks for deep penetration of the conditioner into the inside of the cortex of the hair. The ribbon effect is combination of three polymers that are called the triple blend that gives a light weight feel to the hair. Revolutionary is all I can say  about this product line. The products contain Vitamin E so if you can’t take it on the inside you might as well as wear it on your hair. Orchid Reed is an extract that sooths and Apricot Kernal Oil is awesome on pre-lightened (bleached) hair. So if you can imagine the dry spots in your hair which we in the salon industry call porous or “pot holes” in the road of your hair, the products and ingredients will go inside the hair to fill in the dry spots that make it appear to  e smoother and heal the hair from the inside out.

One of the products in the line is called Enrich it loves to repair and protect dry damaged hair. It has silk extract in it which smoothes on the hair. Another product has Champagne extract in the Balance products which acts like a moisturizing agent that has powerful antiaging ingredients to fight free radicals (they are bad for you so we have to fight them for you) the ingredients will stimulate the scalp and calms down reactions from dyes and fragrance. You know who you are when you get itchy or red after a color service! Allantoin and Betaine is skin soothing agent that makes detergents and harsh sulfactes less harsh. Thank goodness for that right?

Lastly one of the products is called Age Restore for mature hair. Great something for us oldies but goodies. Shea butter which is a hot ingredient these days in just about everything will make the coarse hair more supple, silky and manageable. It has a cationic ployer liquid that forms into a crystalized structure that smoothes out the surface of the hair. In layman terms it fills in the bigger pot holes in the hair road and fills them in like a dump truck to create a smooth shiny surface. Stop in and try them out. They are located on 2801 E Market St, York, PA 17402.

Today I had the pleasure of adding some hair to a special client that had a birthday and wanted to do something for herself. I was really proud of her first of all to take time for herself because so many women will do for others and sacrifice themselves. There are years when you just have say this is “your name inserted” year. Doing things for yourself is not necessarily selfish.

Selfish is defined as knowing oneself and what oneself likes or dislikes. Very important distinction ladies. Doing for oneself can keep ourselves happy so that we can continue to give to others. I have a favorite saying “if momma ain’t happy nobody is happy”. If this means that I have to treat myself once in a great while that will allow me to take care of the rest of the needs in family, business, and whatever else may come along.

So back to my story. This client is an absolute pleasure and wanted to have longer hair. She had been trying to grow her hair for so long and it was just not happening. We chose some colors that would look best with her skin tone, decided on the appropriate length and style that we were aiming for. We can say that we achieved the look. She looked younger and she looked more stylish like the magazines. It was an exciting day for both of us. She left happy and with some styling tips so that she could maintain her new hair.

Choosing a style is super important so that the stylist can work with the look that you are seeking. I find that the long fantasy hair is fun and sexy to look at but when you have to go to work, it’s not so fun anymore because the length usually desired is down to the breast. Don’t ask my why but that is a popular length that doesn’t go with everyone. In addition, you have to be pretty decent with the curling iron, flat iron, and blow dry styling.

Keep in mind this is your real hair once they are in your head. We will replace them every 4 weeks to lift them up and you can keep the extensions as long as you choose to wear them with monthly maintenance. It only takes about 2 – 3 hours max and then have a haircut to create the look..

Brazilian Blowout Client Patti

Check out the video. This is my client Patti that has wild untamed hair. She has had
several types of relaxers, treatments and as she will explain that her hair is in the
best shape with the Brazilian Blowout treatment. Her hair went from frizzy to smooth because of our technique and the super nutrient complex in the solution. We
protect her from any uncomfortable smells that could be around from any solution
by utilizing a blow dryer to ventilate her area.

The video shows her results. We have specialized training and certification from Brazilian Blowout. In addition to the training, I have trained my team in depth on these treatments. The new Zero treatment has a different fragrance and is safe as the original formula.
