Deep Conditioning

2012-02-15T11:58:00.000-07:00

Winter time can put a toll on your hair. The dry, cold air just sucks the moisture right out of your hair & makes it look/feel dry, frizzy & brintle. Using styling tools as well as wearing hats & scarfs don't help either. The best way to replenish lost moisture is to do a weekly deep conditioning treatment!

Each strand of hair has 3 layers; deep conditioning affects the outer layer called the cuticle. The cuticle resembles shingles on a roof, overlaping each other & laying down flat. When hair becomes dry & damaged, the shingles will stand up. That gives the hair a dull, frizzy look.

Deep conditioning the proper way & using the right products will help smooth out the cuticle, making the shingles lay down. This gives your hair a smoother, shinier, healthier appearance!

Note: deep conditions cannot heal damaged hair or improve the quality of new hair; it is not a cure. It can minimize any damage done, restore shine, add strength to hair until the damages hair grows long enough to be cut off, & even makes hair manageable. The only TRUE way to cure damaged hair it to cut it off.

It's the weekend of love & chocolate! Hope you all have fun plans for the day! Now don't be too upset about all of the chocolate you'll be eating; chocolate isn't bad for us. New research has been shown that chocolate can be part of a healthy diet!

Myth: Chocolate is high in caffeine.
Fact: Eating chocolate may perk you up, it actually is not very high in caffeine. A 1.4 ounce chocolate bar or 8 ounce glass of chocolate milk both contain 6 mg of caffeine. That's the same amount as a cup of decaffeinated coffee.

Myth: Chocolate is bad for your cholesterol.
Fact: Research has shown that stearic acid, the main saturated fat found in milk chocolate, doesn't raise ol levels the same way that other types of saturated fats do. In fact, eating a 1.4 ounce chocolate bar instead of a carbohyfrated-rich snack can increase HDL (good) cholesterol.

Myth: Chocolate lacks any mutritional value.
Fact: Chocolate is a good source of magnesium, copper, iron, & zinc. It also contains antioxidants that are found in tea & red wine that decrease risk of coronary disease. A daily serving of dark chocolate helps lower blood pressure & improve insulin resistance according to a joint study between Tufts Unicersity in Boston & the Unicersity of L'Aquila in Italy.

Myth: Chocolate cause cavities.
Fact: Candy alone is not responsible for cavities. They are formed when bacteria in the mouth metabolize sugars & starches from any type of food.

Myth: Chocolate causes acme.
Fact: Eating chocolate all day everyday for months will definitely give you acne. Eating unhealthy, greasy foods on a regular bacis will give you acne. Chocolate every now & than will not give you acne.

Chocolate's bad reputation is slowly changing & research now shows that chocolate can be a part of an overall healthy lifestyle; when in moderation!

I found a story I wrote in 4th grade, What do you want to be when you grow up?, Well even back then I wanted to be a stylist.

Question & Answers

2012-01-06T13:34:00.000-07:00

Q: What Is Microdermabrasion?

A: Microdermabrasion is an effective, non-surgical way to get rid of acne scars, fine lines, wrinkles & sunspots by exfoliating the top layers of the skin. No chemicals or laser beams are used, only a dimond tip that gently srubs your skin, leaving it smooth, fresh, and soft like a baby! Microdermabrasion also stimulates collagen production, helping your skin rejuvenate faster than normal. Microdermabrasion takes up to one hour and has no downtime! Your skin will GLOW!!!

Q: What Does Microdermabrasion Involve?

A: Your skin is first cleansed twice, with products especially for YOUR skin type! The Esthetician then starts the microdermabrasion procedure using a hand-held device. The device works by gently exfoliating with the dimond tipped wand against the skin, the wand vacuums back dead skin cells all at the same time.
The esthetician slowly moves the wand across your entire face and not just on treated areas. After microdermabrasion, your skin is soothed with a special mask, moisturizer and nourishing spf, allowing you to go back to your daily routine immediately after treatment.

Q: Is Microdermabrasion For Me?

A: If your skin care goal is to get rid of acne scars, blotchy skin, the appearance of large pores, age or sun spots, fine lines & wrinkles or uneven skin tone and texture, you are a perfect candidate for microdermabrasion. All skin types and colors can be treated with microdermabrasion. But before you go ahead, talk to your esthetician about your medical history because there are conditions which may make microdermabrasion unsuitable for you.

Q: Are There Any Microdermabrasion Contraindications?

A: Microderm abrasion is not recommended to keratosis sufferers, people with undiagnosed lesions, active rosacea or acne, weeping acne (stages 3 to 4), diabetes, auto-immune disorders, fragile capillaries, eczema, dermatitis, psoriasis or lupus. Recent laser surgery or Accutane acne treatment may also be sound reasons for your esthetician not to recommend microdermabrasion. Discuss your medical history to your esthetician if unsure.

Q: Will I Experience Any Discomfort During Treatment Does It Hurt?

A: Micro abrasion treatment is painless. It feels like the mild facial massage from a special wand. Your face may appear a little pinkish in the first 24 hours, but you should not experience any itchiness or pain.

Ombre Hair Color

2011-11-16T12:14:00.000-07:00

In other words, color melting. This is such a big trend this season! So many celebrates are pulling off this look.

Dark root, light ends! The key is to color the root just a shade darker than your natural color & blend it in with the blond. It's low maintenance because you don't have to worry about coming back in for re-touching your new growth for a while. Especially nice if you want a pretty color but don't want to pay for highlights every month or so to keep them up. Also, no worry about the grow-out line. You can do it as gradual or as bold as you would like! Using about 2-3 colors, but you can do more if your hair is longer and you want to go lighter more gradually.
So what do you think? Let us know if you like this "ombre" trend or think that everyone has gone crazy!

By appointment only, we will be offering Henna Tattoos on Friday!

Call the salon to book your appointment!

801-379-0540

What is a Henna Tattoo? Wikipedia says "Henna tattoos, also known as Mehndi, is another form of temporary tattoo. Coming from a south Asian tradition, henna uses a paste made from the powdered leaves of the Henna plant, Lawsonia inermis. Its active dye, Lawsone, binds with the keratin in skin, fingernails, and hair. Traditional henna is drawn in delicate patterns on the hands and feet, but modern henna is applied in all sorts of designs anywhere on the body. Unlike other forms of temporary tattoos, henna does not allow for a full range of colors but only shades of reds, browns, and near-blacks. The paste is applied and left on the skin for several hours to stain. The stain will gradually fade away as the skin sheds. Henna tattoos can last days to over a month depending on application and aftercare.

However, caution should be taken as many products labeled henna are misleading. Fast-staining "black henna" can contain para-phenylenediamine (PPD) which can cause allergic reactions and scarring."

Skincare for Men

2011-10-28T10:59:00.000-06:00

Image Skincare posted an article about what men's skincare routine should be. Don't worry guys, it's nothing too girly, just the basics!

Basic Skincare for Men

Does your man’s skincare regimen measure up to his professional need to look his best? Let’s face it, in this economy every little detail matters whether your guy is looking for new opportunities or solidifying his job security. His personal appearance plays an important role in how others perceive his energy, credibility, and trustworthiness.

In order to maintain their edge, guys of all ages are interested in taking care of themselves and indulging in image enhancing products, gadgets and treatments – even if they pretend not to! But since they are still men, they are impatient and less likely to grasp the concept of maintenance routines. In fact they generally prefer to get it over with in one shot.

If the image he presents at work is important to your guy, then getting it over with in one shot isn’t going to do. Let’s look at some options for the basics.

Although men have thicker skin (didn’t we all know that ladies!)- approximately 0.5mm thicker than women’s, it is also oilier, with larger exposed pores, and more of a tendency to break out in a sweat. Therefore, using deodorant soaps directly on the face is a practice men should avoid, as this might irritate their skin and leave a residue. Men should try a cleanser that will leave their skin feeling fresh and clean.

Skin that gets shaved on a regular basis has a whole host of other problems – like red bumps, ingrown hairs and dry patches. For these instances, men should remember that razor burn or cuts can be reduced by using a good cleanser, a good quality scrub every couple of days and a softening shave cream with a sharp razor, followed by a soothing moisturizer. Of course changing the blades regularly is also vital.

The problem of excessive oil and shine can be addressed by using products like the Clear Cell Salicylic Clarifying Tonic. The advice of beauty editors is for men to use a weekly treatment product containing salicylic acid. Keep in mind that, if they are willing to go just one step further, adding atonic can reduce pore size, control oil slicks, and help avoid nasty ingrown hairs. Guys do need to be mindful of not using a product that’s too harsh, as it will strip away essential oils when the skin is most vulnerable.

While the same basics of skincare apply to both men and women, without a doubt men are definitely taking more notice of what’s looking back at them in the mirror these days.

How does your man’s skincare routine measure up?

Could he use some more encouragement or does he surprise you with the amount of effort he makes taking care of his appearance on a regular basis?

My husband only uses shampoo for his face (a big no no!) One day he will have a normal regimen! Just one day at a time ;)

What happens in the salon, stays in the salon!

2011-10-07T11:43:00.000-06:00

My favorite part of being in a salon is the conversation!

I sit by the phone, waiting for it to ring, most of the day. When the dryers aren't going, I can hear everything! I love it! Just the other day, two of our stylist & a client were talking about what happens to our bodies when we're pregnant. (Congratulations Gillian who is 18 weeks along!) The conversation moved from baby sizes to belly sizes to even boob sizes! That was the funniest part of the whole topic, comparing boobs! (don't worry, we are a very modest salon. no one pulled anything out ;)

I love it when clients bring in their friends & everyone is just having a ball!

So next time you have an appointment, tell your friends & bring them in! Who knows, them may find their favorite new stylist here!

Braided bang tutorial

2011-10-03T22:58:00.003-06:00

Great tutorial for french braided bangs. I've had lots of clients and friends want to know how to create this style on themselves. Here's a quick video to learn how. For those of you with longer hair it also looks super cute to keep the braid going down around the side of your face and ear and under then show the braid off a bit more by pulling all your hair into a ponytail.

Have any of you seen The Doctors on ABC? I love it! Yesterday they had Dermatologist, Dr. Jessica Wu, author of Feed your Face. She says that while we pay attention to what's on our faces, we should be paying attention to what's on your plates.

On The Doctors website, they have a detailed list that Dr. Jessica Wu created for your skin; what foods are good for your skin & what foods are bad for your skin.

Foods That Enhance Your Skin:
• Tomatoes contain loads of lycopene that is enhanced by cooking, which helps fight sun damage. Order your pizza with extra sauce!
• Bloody Marys: Both virgin and non-virgin, this is the best cocktail for your skin. Tomato juice contains lycopene which has been shown to fight sun damage.
• Green and yellow veggies: These foods have been linked to lessening wrinkles, especially crow's feet. Try peppers, zucchini, squash and spinach.
• Lean meats: Beef, lamb, chicken and fish contain amino acids, such as glycine and proline, which replenish collagen.
• Fresh fish: Salmon, sardines and mackerel.
• Soy: Soy milk, tofu and edamame.
• Dark chocolate containing more than 70 percent cocoa.• Green beans: This vegetable is packed with silicon, which helps grow long, strong hair and nails.
• Walnuts and almonds: These nuts are high in omega-3 fatty acids.
• Berries.
• Whole wheat bread and pasta.
• Rolled oats instead of instant oatmeal.
• Brown rice.
• Cold drinks.
Foods to Avoid:
• Dairy: Milk, cheese, yogurt, ice cream and lattes all contain cow hormones that can increase oil production and clog pores.
• Packaged baked goods.
• White foods such as white bread, pasta, rice.
• Hidden sugar: Sodas, bottled salad dressings and sweetened cereals.
• High-fructose corn syrup.
• Vinegar and pickles.
• Aged cheeses: Parmesan and blue.
• Spicy foods, especially if you have rosacea or facial redness.
• High-sugar fruits: Grapes, pineapple and bananas.
• Steaming hot food and drinks.
• Tuna steak or solid white tuna, as mercury can cause hair loss.
• Monosodium Glutamate (MSG).

I told my husband about this list & he agrees with it, he just doesn't agree in doing it lol We'll see about that ;)
Hope this list helps you!

hot hair trends for summer 2011

2011-06-03T09:18:00.000-06:00

Halfsies

Perfect for those humidity-stricken mornings, use a clipless curling iron to curl the mid-section of your hair and flat-iron the ends straight to nix frizz.

Unkempt Side Braid

The mantra for this summer's side braid is the messier, the better. Give yourself a deep side part and pull hair to one side. Start braiding at the top of your ear for a loose braid with bigger plaits. Let pieces fall out naturally to create a more relaxed look.

Let Your Frizz Fly

Flyaways were (thankfully) all over the runways this season, meaning you don't have to sweat to death in your bathroom trying to slick all your hair back. To make fuzzies chic, pull hair back into a ponytail or bun at the center of your head and spritz with a flexible hairspray.

Slicked Back Bun

If you've just hopped out of the pool or are in a rush, this style is great for on the go. Use a firm holding gel to pull your hair back into a low bun that will stick with you all day.

Get a Piecey Cut

Winter's polished pixie is being replaced with a textured, choppy cut. If you plan on cutting your hair to stay cool in the heat, make sure your shortest layer hits the top of your ear like Jessica Stroup's, so you can still have some styling options.

One-Sided Half-Up 'Do

For a quickie half-up 'do, create a small braid or twist on one side of your head with a fun flipped over part like Kate Bosworth's here.

Cheerleader Ponytails

Low ponytails are being replaced with high, cheerleader-esque styles that hit at the crown or just below. To give yours some more oomph, push your ponytail forward to create volume on top.

Flat Buns

Tame down your ballerina bun by creating a high ponytail, wrapping and securing hair around an elastic and then gently pulling at the sides to flatten it out.

Lightly Tousled Waves

Waves are always in, but this season expect to see a break from the all out sexy bedhead and instead more subtle, soft curls in its place. Try this look by curling just the ends of your hair or flipping them out with your flatiron.

Put a Lid on It

Having a bad hair day has never been so fun with this season's brims, like Reese Witherspoon's staple fedora.

Fiesty Feathers

Glam up any hairstyle in a flash with a skinny hair feather accessory, like Selena Gomez does here.

Argan Oil...Liquid Gold

2011-05-10T15:37:00.000-06:00

I read a very informative article in the May issue of DERMASCOPE magazine. It gave some great facts about Argan Oil. Argan oil (it's the awesome oil in many of our professional products we sell at The Haven.) Mainly in our Morracan Oil haircare line. Us stylist are always telling our clients how awesome this amazing argan oil is because we have seen the results and many of us use it on ourselves and on almost all our clients daily. For those are you who like a little more detail I thought I would share some great facts.

In the South- Western parts of Morocco, argan oil is extracted from nuts of argan trees. Often times referred to as "liquid gold". The process used to extract the precious oil from the argan trees is a manual and laborious process that has become a tradition among the local Berber woman. The production of argan oil allows these women to gain social benefits in a country where equal rights are not yet fully established; affording them a sustainable livelihood and an opportunity to earn fair wages. The process to extract the oil as mentioned before is laborious. The initial stage of this process is the actual removal of the nut from the fruit. Next, the shell of each nut is forcibly opened to obtain the kernel. Once all the kernels are collected they are roasted over mild heat. Then the roasted kernels are left to cool, ground in a quern made out of stone, and then blended with water into dough.

- Argan Tree -

- Argan fruit has a green fleshy exterior like an olive, but larger and rounder. Inside, there is a nut with an extremely hard shell, which in turn contains one, two or even three almond shaped kernels. -

- It is said that producing one liter of oil takes about 20 hours worth of work -

(no wonder this oil doesn't come cheap)

In regards to our personal health and beauty, argan oil is outstanding choice. There are two types of argan oil. one used for cosmetic purposes and one for culinary purposes. Beyond its nutritional benefits, argan oil has many beautifying effects. As a cosmetic medium, the oil is magnificent for hair, skin and nails. In addition argan oil is a rich source of Vitamin E (a strong antioxidant) making it a great way to combat the again process. Argan oil has the ability to lock in moisture. This is great of skin and hair. Locks in moisture in the hair and eliminates frizz. Argan oil helps decrease blowdrying time. Helps hair look and feel so shiny and smooth. Is a great thermal protectant. So great of our dry Utah weather. Great on skin for after waxing or shaving. The list could go on and on. Argan oil provides unparalleled results making it worth of it's informal title...."Liquid Gold".

Microdermabrasion

2011-03-17T15:12:00.005-06:00

Q: What Is Microdermabrasion?

A: Microdermabrasion is an effective, non-surgical way to get rid of acne scars, fine lines, wrinkles and sunspots by exfoliating the top layers of the skin. No chemicals or laser beams are used, only a crystal tip that gently sandblast your skin, leaving itsmooth fresh, and soft like a baby!. Microdermabrasion also stimulates collagen production, helping your skin rejuvenate faster than normal. Microdermabrasion takes up to one hour and has no downtime! Your skin will GLOW!!

Q: What Does Microdermabrasion Involve?

A: Your skin is first cleansed twice, with products especially forYOUR skin type! The Esthetician then starts the microdermabrasion procedure using a hand-held device. The device works by gently exfoliating with the crystal tipped wand against the skin, the wand vacuums back dead skin cells all at the same time.

The esthetician slowly moves the wand across your entire face and not just on treated areas. After microdermabrasion, your skin is soothed with a special mask, moisturizer and nourishing spf, allowing you to go back to your daily routine immediately after treatment.

Q: Is Microdermabrasion For Me?

A: If your skin care goal is to get rid of acne scars, blotchy skin, the appearance of large pores, age or sun spots, fine lines & wrinkles or uneven skin tone and texture, you are a perfect candidate for microdermabrasion. All skin types and colors can be treated with microdermabrasion. But before you go ahead, talk to your esthetician (me;)) about your medical history because there are conditions which may make microdermabrasion unsuitable for you.

Q: Will I Experience Any Discomfort During Treatment Does It Hurt?

A: Micro abrasion treatment is painless. It feels like the mild facial massage from a special wand. Your face may appear a little pinkish in the first 24 hours, but you should not experience any itchiness or pain.

Q: Are There Any Microdermabrasion Contraindications?

A: Microderm abrasion is not recommended to keratosis sufferers, people with undiagnosed lesions, active rosacea or acne, weeping acne (stages 3 to 4), diabetes, auto-immune disorders, fragile capillaries, eczema, dermatitis, psoriasis or lupus. Recent laser surgery or Accutane acne treatment may also be sound reasons for your esthetician not to recommend microdermabrasion. Discuss your medical history to your esthetician if unsure.

You can call the Salon with questions or to schedule appointments! 801.379.0540

Waxing information from Sarah!

2011-03-08T07:42:00.016-07:00

Waxing!

waxing leaves your skin silky smooth for weeks! Never Shave, tweeze, buzz anything again! Waxing reduces ingrown hairs & eliminates razor bumps! When you wax, your hair grows back less dense, leaving hair finer & softer!

25% OFF ANY Area! It's getting warmer! Time to wax! :)

Girl's Favorites:

*Underarms

*Legs

*Brows

*Bikini

Guy's Favorites:

*Nose

*Back of the neck

*Chest

*Back

*QUESTIONS&MYTHS*

Should I shave my hair before waxing?
No, the hair growth needs to be about 1/4" long for body hair and about 1/8" for eyebrows and hair on the ears. The wax has to have something to hold onto in order for it to be uprooted.
When will the hair re-appear?
That depends on every individual person, but with the majority of people it will take about 6-10 weeks for all of the hair you have waxed to reappear. All of it does not grow back at the same rate.
Is it true that the hair will grow back thicker after waxing?
No. Actually, if you continue to wax with regularity, it will eventually slow down the hair growth!

Are there any medical conditions/situations when I should not get waxing services?

Everyone's level of sensitivity varies. If you think that you might be sensitive, then let me know and we can do a patch test. If you are on certain medications for acne, or use certain steroids, you might be more prone to sensitivity. It also depends on what is getting waxed. Someone who uses a topical acne prescription might not want to get their facial waxing done, but anywhere else should be fine!

Hello everyone!!! I can't believe it has been 5 months since I moved away from my most favorite place ever, Haven Salon. I'll admit at first the move to Virginia was fun and exciting and it was a nice break from work...but as time went on I found myself really missing my girls at the salon and all my clients and the regulars at Haven. I missed my monthly hang out with my friends...who happen to pay me money to do their hair:) But really I think of you all as friends, and great examples of the kind of mother, friend, sister, business owner and good person I want to be. I admire so many of you and truly do miss our conversations, laughs and your good advice. I hope all is well and that you are all happy, healthy and ready to take on the new year. 2011 has gotta be better than 2010, right? I know it will be!

Here is an update on me and my little family. We loved it in Virginia and survived the humidity and mosquitoes of summer, and enjoyed the beautiful fall colors. The changing leaves are amazing. I can't tell you how the winter is, cause I high tailed it out of there before it got too cold.
Davy was deployed again to Afghanistan last October, so Oliver and I moved back to Utah/Idaho. Davy is a private intelligent contractor for the government and is helping stop IEDs (improvised explosive device) over there. IEDs are the number one cause of death to our soldiers in this war. He is working hard and enduring being away from his family. He will return in April and we will all move back to Virginia together. Oliver and I moved back home...yep, living back in my high school room...thanks mom for letting me mooch off of you for a bit. Right now I'm in Idaho helping my sister with her soon to arrive new baby girl.

I WILL BE BACK IN UTAH FROM MID FEB TO THE END OF MARCH. IF ANYONE WOULD LIKE ME TO DO THEIR HAIR DURING THIS TIME, GIVE ME A CALL 801-380-3064 AND WE CAN SCHEDULE A TIME.

Sweet Ollie is keeping me sane while being apart from my husband. He is so cute and funny. His smile and laugh is so contagious. He is huge...he wears 18 month clothes and is only 10 months old. He looks just like his daddy, and even makes the same faces as Davy. He has 8 teeth, loves to eat, hates any kind of juice and is obsessed with milk (formula). I guess he gets that from me since i drank a gallon of milk by myself every 4 DAYS while pregnant with him....what? I like milk okay! He crawls everywhere and cruises around furniture or anything he can pull himself up on.
I absolutely love being a mom. I guess having an adorable and pretty chill baby makes loving it easy. Here are a few pics of him in his first snow experience. He wasn't too sure about it at first, but once he realized he could eat it, snow became his new best friend.

Christmas Party

2010-12-14T12:46:00.006-07:00

Suzanne- Hillary- Lorrie

Katie- Steph- Amy

Gorgeous Hill rockin' red lips!

We had such a fun get together for our Haven Christmas party. We stuffed our faces at Texas Roadhouse then headed to Katie's beautiful home for dessert that Suzanne and Hillary made! The best part was our gift exchange! We exchanged good gifts and white elephants! We had some awesome white elephants! I think the two favorites were the booty underwear and hillbilly romantic evening kit! Not to mention the sweet prize for the best white elephant which went to Katie! I don't think she would want me to post the pictures of her in her green leotard with her green ballerina lady lamp! :)

Thanks girls for a fun evening!

We hope you are all enjoying this Holiday Season as much as us!

Before and After Pictures from the Keratin Treatment

2010-10-06T13:25:00.003-06:00

Suzanne's client Jan has loved having her hair less frizzy. It's been easier for her to style on her own with more smoothness and shine. Instead of spending hours round brushing and flat ironing she can style it much faster. Here's the before:

and the afters:

Here is a picture from 2 weeks after I believe this is just letting it air dry:

Steph's client Cindy has loved her treatment as well. She's said she has never had her hair that soft in her life. Her hair is naturally very curly and since the treatment its been less frizzy, so much softer and straighter. She's been having fun wearing it straight without having to spend hours flat ironing.

A little about Enjoy Shampoos and Conditioners

2010-08-20T13:36:00.007-06:00

All Enjoy Shampoos and Conditioners are Sulfate-Free

There are many benefits for using a sulfate free shampoo.
It gives the hair strength, smoothness, shine, frizz control and volume with incredible manageability. Gently eliminates build-up without stripping color with Cleanse Sensor technology. Color Safe for all hair types
(ph 4.5-5.5)

There are 3 types of Shampoo and Conditioner

Enjoy's luxury

Enjoys's Hydrating

Enjoy's Rejuvenating Volumizing

Besides all the great benefits to using the Shampoo listed above another great reason to use Enjoy Shampoos it the smell. They all have a fun fresh fruity smell. That is just enough but not too much that will make you feel like you dumped a bottle of perfume on your head. (:

As many of you know Professional haircare products are generally more costly than your store brand stuff. But once your try Professional products rarely will you turn back. They are much more condensed and not watered down, which means you use less and it lasts longer. Your hair is in better condition and will love you for it! It's great using a shampoo that doesn't cause products buildup and flakiness. So if your ready to stock up on great shampoo or are ready to throw out your old stuff, come into the Salon and purchase some Enjoy Products. We only have a few more of the 10 oz duos of the Luxury on Sale right now for 38- Can I just say how much I love this stuff its wonderful. So creamy and thick like butter it does wonders to hair and is the more condensed shampoo and conditioner I have ever tried. The conditioner can untangle the most damaged and dry of hair.
Also all of our Enjoy line is 10 percent off this month.

Check back soon for some product reviews on Enjoy's styling products!

Road Work

2010-08-18T17:46:00.000-06:00

We wanted to let all our clients know about the road work they are doing on 1st south from 2nd West to 5th West along both sides of the road here were the Salon is located. They are doing work on the driveway curbs, sidewalks etc.. So this sometimes effects where you will be able to park. If our parking lot is blocked off you can park across the street at the Covey center and walk over. We will try and remind you when we call and confirm your appointments. We are sorry for any inconvience this may cause some of you. They have not given us a time frame of when the work will be completed, as soon as we know we will let you know.

Thanks in advance for your patience.
