Constantly looking to moisturize your dry skin with a body butter bar moisturizer?

Look no further! We have THE best moisturizer on the planet

Indulge Pure Originals Cocoa Butter Gold Bar mosturizing bar

here at Indulge Salon. Many years ago, I had really dry itchy skin that seemed that nothing I used in the form of moisturizer, clinical moisturizer or lotion worked to get rid of the itchy skin.

For weeks and months I would itch that area around my ankles till I bled. Those folks that have dry skin like I did know exactly what I’m talking about. I found one of those old black rollers that older women used to put in their hair for hair sets. That little roller made the best scratcher ever! Even though I bled, it didn’t matter I just needed to relieve the itch. You can read more about this at Indulge Pure Originals.com.

The secret to non itchy skin organically proven is our body butter in a bar. It’s the best natural vegan moisturizer that will smooth onto your skin while you are in the warm shower. Melts into your skin before your skin has a chance to dry and close up the pores. The results are immediate when you use it. Indulge Pure Originals can be used outside the shower or bath as long as it is warmed up under water to ensure that it smooths onto your skin. Massage it in and ready to go.

Our body butter bar from Indulge Pure Originals is manufactured in the USA. We have 3 fragrances cocoa butter (natural fragrance), Citrus, and Coconut. None of these delightful bars conflict with your perfume. The moisturization lasts all day. Can be reapplied and builds on the layers of your moisturization.

Learn more here about Indulge Pure Originals products. These range from $10 – $12 per bar. We also have a non scented hypoallergenic body butter for our sensitive friends. Can be purchased in any of our locations.

Traveling hairstyles – what happened?

Would the fashion police capture you?

Does your hairstyle, makeup and dress reflect who you are when traveling? Hmm, think again. From what I saw, it looks like we as a beauty industry have some hardcore work to do. To those travelers that put some effort into their look, congratulations for keeping America beautiful.

I have to say that I wish I had taken a couple of photos of what I saw on my travels the past two days. Not pretty.

I travel back and forth from York, Pa to our Indulge Salon, Greensboro, GA location. I start off early in the morning around 4:00 a.m. to catch my flight by 6:00 a.m. I would tell you I love flying but what is the craze about rerouting gates at airlines beck and call? Scrambling to get my bearings on which gate to arrive at with a fear that my gate has changed. This happened to me Friday morning. I was hustling to get to the airport because I had a committment to clients in GA. Travelers have stress getting through security waiting on the couple that has several kids, the travelers that have their laptops, the shoes, the jacket, etc. I can tell you I’m getting the pass that lets you get through the easy lane. I digress.

If the fashion police were out, many people would have been taken into custody for a full out makeovers from head to toe. As the public pursues their career dreams enroute by plane, taxi, and just plain automobiles, many need to take a pit stop at their mirror before they leave the house. Is it becoming a trend to not do your hair anymore?

Let me be bold enought to describe to you what I saw…..

Uncombed hair for starters is to much for me to even watch from behind the person on a plane. I saw uneven haircuts that were complimented by brassy orange mixed with yellow striped highlights and to top it off the clothing were ill fitted to the person’s body and a lack of respect for themselves by not wearing makeup. I get the natural thing but when you are expected to be a professional, this might be a good time to even out the skin tone, wear some blush and certainly “put your LIPS on.”

Let’s top it off with the cell phones. EVERY single person I watched had a cell phone and their heads were down. I could see the top of their head and the color that was in it. I started a conversation with a guy that sat next to me in the lounge only because my charger went south. He was one of those power and authoriative guys that I figured would have some source to recharge my phone. I was right. He had about 3 types of charges in his backpack. Backpacks are the “thing” for both men and women. I told him, you have more stuff and gadgets in your bag than I do in my purse. My purse is not small. I could fit a small child in it. Just saying!

Speaking of sizes, Southwest requires that you only have 2 bags which include your purse. Well, my briefcase does not fit in my weekender bag so I was out of luck. I had to CHECK my bag. Not cool at all. I went to the person that checks your ticket and he does the manual counting of my bags. Did he think I was stupid and not count? Certainly, I understand that he wanted to make it clear he could count and that I needed to get to 2. I said ok waltzed over to the customer service counter to get my bag checked. I was informed that I could pick my bag up at the baggage claim.

Here’s the thing, as I walked onto the plane, I asked the attendant if they had room in the overhead compartments for a weekender bag. She asked the attendant in the back of the plane OVER THE LOUDSPEAKER if they had room in the back. Of course. I grab my bag off the ramp to then place it into the front of the plane in the over head compartment. There was room. Go figure. I sat between two gentlement that 1) didn’t smell (yeah, I usually get the smelly ones) 2) didn’t over talk which was even better. I found this trip to be successful as far as plane travelers. ‘

I believe that women and men could step up their game with their personal appearance. Years ago we used to dress up with skirts, jackets and blouses. Years ago it went to pj’s. Now, its workout outfits. I saw a cute grandmother about 80 years old with her sneakers and super tight workout yoga wear. Wow. Taking a few minutes in the morning will get you better service by those around you.

I love that the quality, uniqueness of what we do at Indulge Salon, York Pa and Greensboro, GA. Nothing can take away the pride that we feel about giving someone a great hair color, highlights, and a crafted haircut for their face shape and lifestyle. I believe that we make a difference in peoples lives. Thank you for allowing us to keep your skin in great shape, your eyebrows groomed to perfection, your hair on trend and lastly keeping those toes groomed.

If you put one of my Indulge personal clients out in the public, you could pick them out in a heartbeat. For this, I’m proud. To my clients, I say THANK YOU for making us look good while taking pride in your appearance to look your best.

Balayage highlights are hitting the streets of York, Pa with our summer collection 2016

I have been inspired by our stylists creativity. Being in the hair industry as long as I have you see haircolor ideas and collections come and go. But the quality of long hair complimented with Balayage highlights as left me in awe.

One of our stylists, Taylor, has worked as an assistant moved up to stylist level and has been slammed with her specialty of balayage highlighting clients from medium length to longer lengths down to the tushy. She seems to have the gift of illuminating the clients color with contrasting shades of dark and light.

What’s interesing are the tones she has been creating with the help of Wella. Wella International haircolor company has developed brands of haircolor that is actually good for the hair. It heals the hair from the inside out instead of the outside in. I know that sounds confusing but the quality of haircolor has changed since I started in the business in 1984.

She has been mixing colors of violet that turn to a beautiful cooler champaign blonde with the dull ashy look. Cooler blondes mixed with warmer blondes with shots of a russet dark blonde. Try summer champaigne muted violet tones that are such a clear blonde with a hint of violet that is so soft and touchable. Caramel bronde is lovely shade going for medium to darker hair that can handle a mixture between brown and blonde. I mean the photos of before and after are stunning. If you get a chance go to our facebook page here to see some of her work.

                           Are balayage highlights for you?

Our professional hairstylists can use balayage to soft a color, shade in a sun kissed look on a bang or do some surface color to look like the sun kissed it. Natural looking without foil lines. It’s not quick. Chasta, a senior stylist for us at Indulge Salon south george st, enjoys colors such as desert rose. Now the girls give me a hard time about that color which I happen to love, thinks I need a pole to go with the name. Funny girls. Really desert rose has been the prettiest shade I’ve had on my balayage ends and of course I have to cover the natural gray hair that sprouts out every month.

Our stylists are passionate about our prestigious haircolor and the work they do. We work purposefully and we are totally opinionated about the art of haircolor. We actually can look at a person’s face to see where they need lighter areas to bring them wider and we can choose darker shades that can minimize a fuller face or rather a big boned face that needs to appear narrower. Similar to interior design we just do it with faces.
