Movement And Curl; They're In And Now!

Movement and curl is in right now, and we are seeing more and more of this trend. The natural look is back, as well as simplicity.

Do you define your curl or does your curl define you? We see a lot of clients who battle with wild waves, so we find ourselves straightening, smoothing, and blowing it out. There are three types of difficult curl: coarse dry frizzy curls, tight kinky wild curl and for those of you with fine hair, fine, limp, frizzy, lifeless curl. Relief is just around the corner. Kérastase has come out with some fresh new products to address each hair type.

Bain Oléo - curl gently cleanses the hair leaving it nourished and shiny. Masque Oléo-curl is a gel masque that looks and feels like orange Jell-O, but don't be worried - this products provides weightless conditioning leaving the hair shiny and detangled. The Mist Oléo Curl is a must before you straighten or go curly. Its technology protects the hair from humidity and thermal damage, and it will give definition to curly hair if you let your curls go natural. Finally, the Créme - Oléo Curl is the curl defining creme that protects and tames thick unruly curl while blocking out the humidity. Those of you who have curly hair know all too well how humidity can bring out the frizz.

The technology and ingredients of these products are amazing. Shorea and palms oils in this product soften the hair, while the cationic polymers make detangling easy. The lipids block out the humidity and Xylose protects the hair from heat damage.

No curl is the same and Oléo-Curl can be combined with the Oléo-Relax line to create the perfect curl for your specific needs.

Happy Styling!

How Often Should You Have A Facial?

This is an often asked question by many of our clients. As with so many things, the answer is specific to the individual asking it. To give you an idea, a person with problematic skin might need a monthly facial to control and rebalance their skin during winter months, but can taper off to every other month in summer. A person with a complexion that is healthy and clear, will most likely want to have a facial at least every quarter as the seasons change to mantain that health and balance. If you've never had a facial before, or don't know where to start, scheduling a Signature Facial is the way to go. That way, one of our top-notch aestheticians will work with you to evaluate your needs and put together an at-home, as well as professional, service plan to meet your needs and lifestyle. Remember, appropriate home care is extremely important!
