I am so excited about the new Illumina hair color that offers subtle, multi-faceted, luxurious lights for your hair. I performed many of these this week in preparation for our newest hair color trends and I must say this is one of the most fun and exciting techniques I’ve learned. This technique is designed to bring out natural looking lights in your hair—as though you have been in the sun. Imagine if you will what it is like to be underwater in a pool and opening your eyes to see the light diffusing colors through the top of the water. This is similar to how Illumina diffuses light in 4–5 tones throughout your hair.

This technique can be performed on reds, brunettes, and blondes and should be customized for your skin tone. It is a low maintenance color after initial application. All you have to do is have your color at the root maintained every 4 weeks and a color balance every other time to even out and refresh the tones on the hair.

Josh Wood is the Professional Global Creative Director of Colour for Wella, the creators of Illumina. Josh, one of the leading haircolorists in the world, explains:

“For me ILLUMINA COLOR conjures up daylight for hair – a shine and luminescence that shows the personality within hair. With this product we translated the need for light in hair. The challenge was to make hair seem alight with sunshine, so we’ve achieved the vision of the colour result… as well as ensuring kindness and health to hair.”

Do you have spring fever too?!  I cannot wait to open windows and to see the first signs of new life and rejuvenation! Somehow spring fever and spring cleaning go hand-in-hand for me: it’s the urge for a fresh start and a realization that all of the little things I do to make my house a home are much more effective when my home is really clean.

Skin care is very much the same way. Without really clean skin, all of the products we use for a more youthful and fresh look often aren’t very effective—we just keep layering product on top of product and they don’t get through to our skin. Using a good exfoliate helps to slough off the uppermost layer of dead skin cells and remove pore-clogging dirt and oil.  The battery operated, soft-bristled, rotating brushes sold in drugstores may feel like they provide a deep clean, but it is important to use them on the lowest setting to minimize irritation. Be careful not to become obsessed with that clean feel you get from these brushes, as well as to not over use them or scrub to aggressively with them or it can mess up your pH balance.

If you need a fresh start in skin care, consider Guinot Paris Skincare treatments carried at Indulge Salons York, PA. This month Indulge Salons is discounting the combination of a Hydrodermie Lift facial that redefines facial contours with a Pro Collagen Treatment that rejuvenates mature skin with immediate results. This offer includes a Thermolift Masque which uses heat to push pro-collagen concentrates deep down into the layers of the dermis, leaving you with a younger, firmer, and relaxed appearance. The masque is followed by an anti-aging serum applied with gentle massage. We are also offering 15% OFF Guinot Paris Liftosome products including Serum Liftosome and Liftosome “Lifting” Cream that firms and tightens the skin from deep down with key ingredients of Pro Collagen and Vitamin E.
