Product is key to creating and holding your style!

I know it's hard to comprehend that when you walk into a salon and point to the picture in the magazine and say this is what I want to look like and your stylist informs you that it will take some time and PRODUCT!. It's like clients think we are just trying to sell them something all the time that is useless. This is so not true. Product is the key ingredient to fabulous hair. Anyone who says they don't use it, (u can tell!!!! lol) But for real. If you are going for a long layered pieced out look, you are going to require some pomade , volumizers and some hair spray, weather we want to face it or not. Of course us stylists can make your hair from drab to fab in a matter of minutes but if our clients paid any attention to what we do when we transform their hair they would see we examine the type of hair and texture and what their hair needs to hold this look. Please ladies and gents, if your stylist is telling you that you need product in order to achieve the style you aspire to have, it's not just hot smoke being blown up ur koo!!!! Listen to them they know what they are talking about they are the stylist.

Your hair ages with you!!!!

Often I encounter clients who come in with a picture and say I want to look like this super duper model in this picture. Let me not forget a lot of clients are in their mid 40's to mid 50's and sometimes a little more seasoned. We all wish we had some super models something or other, but lets be realistic here. What clients tend to not realize is as they age so does their hair. Hair can change texture, thickness and lack rich color. Our hair takes a beaten through our lives and it will show its age at some point. The trick is to find professional products that are non stripping to the hair and that will add moisture and nourishment. Stick to organic non sulfate shampoos that are mild enough for even the stubbornest hair and skin. They will not stip or damage the hair cuticle more than it is. Also another great trick is to get semi-pemanent keratin treatments. They pose no health risks and are very quenching to the hair. They preserve color as well as repair damaged split ends. For grey hair, try matrix ultra violet shampoo to keep your hair silver and not dingy. Just remember we may not all look like or ever will look like those super duper models but with the right hair stylist we can always give you what you need to look and feel your best.
