We now offer the BioIonic Kerasmooth Treatment

(similar to Brazilian Blowout)

One of the hottest new trends in hair right now is the Brazilian blowout. Loved by celebs such as Nicole Richie, Stephanie Pratt and Jennifer Aniston. This keratin treatment is a safe process that will actually improve the over all health of your hair. The world's first one-step, formaldehyde-free Keratin hair treatment, that devolumizes, straightens, smooths and eliminates frizzies... go from unmanageable curls to sleek smooth hair in just one step! Kerasmooth strengthens hair, adds shine and improves elasticity. NanoIonic Complex hydrates and conditions. Lasts up to 12 weeks. The best part is after each time you do it, results improve while adding a protective protein layer around the hair. The BioIonic Keratin treatment is different than other smoothing treatments out there. Naturally curly and or frizzy hair will dry and flat iron much smoother. Results last an average of 12 weeks. You will still have body and movement in the hair unlike some stronger chemical relaxer treatments. Although it is safe and works great on all hair types, thicker and coarser hair may need touch ups more often. It is much softer than a Japanese hair straightening. I will not make your hair completely straight. It will give your hair more movement, softer wave and cut your styling time in half, some people even more. .

BioIonic RTX (ReTeXture System)

aka Japanese Hair Straightening

The power of IonTransformation® is fully realized with Bio Ionic’s ReTeX system that permanently retexturizes the hair. ReTex permanently transforms the hair from curly, frizzy, and unruly in to looking super-shiny and sleek, feeling smooth, hydrated and conditioned. ReTex is truly a revolutionary tool to
permanently improve the manageability of hair.

Japanese hair straightening changes the actual structure of the hair, in doing so, there is an obvious difference between the treated hair and the regrowth.

This process is recommended for any hair type and especially for coarse and extremely curly hair. If you are 100% sure you do not want any curl left in your hair, this is the treatment for you. Your hair will still have softness and shine but it will be completely straight.

When calling the salon, please feel free to ask for who ever you would like to talk to. We can usually help each other out but some questions can not be answered by anyone other than the person involved in that service. If you have a hair question, please ask to speak to a hairdresser. If you have questions about skin care, please ask for an esthetician or skin therapist.... etc.

With 8 blow dryers it can get kind of loud in the salon. If we do not answer your call, please leave us a message and we will try to answer you as soon as possible. The answering machine is always on if you need to call before or after business hours. If you need to cancel an appointment or make an appointment, please make sure you leave us a phone number to call you back. Unfortunately, technology doesn't always behave so if the answering machine cuts you off, please call back. If you would like to make an appointment and have never visited our salon, we will match you with someone who best matches your preference of date, time and services offered. Please feel free to request someone specific if you have been referred by someone else.

Explaining some of our services

Formal Styles or Updo's - When it comes to proms or formals or weddings some people may have a vision of what they want their hair to look like on that special day. The way you explain that vision may not translate to hairdresser talk. PICTURES are worth a million words to a hairdresser. We are very visual people. If you bring me a picture of Taylor Swift's long blonde curls and your brown hair is almost touching your shoulders, it's a good guess that we can not make it look EXACTLY like the picture. It's great to show us "I like these type of curls" or "I don't like how loose these curls are but i don't like them too tight either." Believe it or not, even that helps us. We are not magicians but we are beauticians and we can try to make magic out of your hair, if you show us what kind of magic you like....

Deep Conditioning Treatments - These treatments can help calm frizzy hair, smooth out your dry ends and give shine to over processed hair. Great for naturally curly hair. It is NOT a miracle cure for split ends. Only a haircut can "cure" split ends.

Multi Colored Highlites - Although most people think highlites think BLONDE. Not necessarily. With multi colored highlites you can add some lighter pieces and some darker pieces at the same time to give your hair a very natural and beautiful mix of colors. You can be as dramatic as Black, Caramel and Blonde or as subtle as 2 or 3 variations of you natural color to compliment what you started with. It's your hair, have fun with it. Great way to add body to fine hair too....

Color Correction - This is where your hairdresser becomes your chemist.

Remember when you got sick of being blonde. You went to Walmart and thought that Warm Auburn color would look fabulous for winter. It can't be too hard to cover up highlites, my hairdresser makes it look so easy.... right!!!! You only bought one box because that's all they had left. You go home and try to apply it yourself. You rub in as much as you can and while you wait the 30 minutes, wipe off the extra color you splashed all over the bathroom sink and the floor and the new rug you just got.... DARN IT. You rinse your hair and notice you have PINK pieces in your hair. YOU FREEK OUT!!!! Put a hat on, run to Walmart and buy Dark Brown because you don't want to take the chance of anyone finding out it turned pink to begin with. Come home and round 2 of color, wait 30 minutes, rinse and WOW.... your hair is really, really, really.... Dark Brown (ok it's Black, why lie). By now you are thinking.... maybe my hairdresser knows what she is doing better than me. You call and explain the process and as your hairdresser wipes away the tears she will explain to you the following..... One color will not erase another color. If you have put a dark color in your hair, putting blonde on top of it will not erase it and make it all blonde. If you have any outgrowth (roots) those will change but nothing that has been coated with hair color will. Your hair grows an average of 1/2 inch a month. If you colored your hair 6 months ago and your hair is past your shoulders guess what..... you still have color on your hair!!!!! Your roots will become almost any color you choose but your ends... that's a different story. Color coats your hair. Bleach strips the pigment out of your hair which is why it will fade quickly when you try to cover it up. It is also why your hair will turn pinkish if you try to cover blonde with something red (or warm or golden). There are chemical strippers that literally strip the color from your hair WITHOUT using bleach. These chemicals strip artifical pigment out of your hair so you can basically start over without it feeling like straw attached to your scalp. These chemicals are TIME CONSUMING. This is not a quickie process. It can easily take 3 to 4 hours to get your hair back to a more natural shade. It may also take more than one application of chemicals. You hair will not be more damaged after this process. It is 10 times healthier than bleaching your entire head to start over (like you thought about doing when you first saw the pink pieces in your hair....). Yes we have more great stories like this one, if you ever want to hear them, just ask....

Acrylic Nails vs Manicures - There has been some confusion with this so i though i would explain. Acrylic nails and Manicures are two very different services that take up two very different time slots. Acrylic nails are a mix of powder and liquid enhancements that overlay your natural nails and takes about 1 1/2 to 2 hours to apply. A spa manicure is the care and treatment of your natural nails that takes about 40 minutes to an hour. As the Spa Manicure is much more relaxing and less time consuming, we offer it as part of our pampering services in many of our packages. Hope this helps explain better.
