DO YOU HAVE HAIR? THEN YOU NEED THIS MANUAL.

Our Technology & Treatments

We are so happy to offer you the latest and greatest technology here in our little studio. The game changing new bond building agent is Olaplex. In addition to the ‘Stand Alone’ treatment we offer you THE 4 IN 1 Moisture Mask. The Milbon Treatment is a 2-step protein and moisturizing treatment — takes a minute or two at the sink and lasts up to 5 weeks! We are also offering the K-18 Masque for curly and frizzy hair.

Bleaching & Color Technology

We are delighted to use all new forms of bleaching technology. We buffer all of our custom mixture bleaches and colors with our own Color ZEN™ [developed right here!] to leave the hair supple, not brittle — a permanent effect. No itch, no burn, no scabbing! We know you’ll like the results as much as we do.

Each hair color formula made here for you is a custom blend of up to eight different commercial lines and up to five different types of hair colors. We believe that one single line, brand or manufacturer of color offers too few choices for us to create a natural looking, long lasting, vibrant and shiny color. We are committed to the health of your hair and we want you to wear only the finest hair color available. You will come to expect consistent results from us — every time. We believe your hair is your most important accessory — You. Wear. It. Every. Day.

Before Getting in the Shower

If you are less than five feet tall or have very thick hair (or just want an easy way to do stuff) invest in a detachable showerhead. Around $40 will buy you a personal power wash/rinse.

Spray your hair about 10 to 20 times with a spray-on, leave-in hair conditioner that contains silicone. This will protect your color from the effects of chlorine and shampoo, i.e.: fade. We sell, use and recommend shampoos that do not contain detergents, commonly listed on the label as sodium laureth sulfate, TEA lauryl sulfate, MEA, DEA and such. These are the same ingredients commonly found in baby shampoos and dishwashing detergents — harsh.

After Washing and Rinsing

Apply a moisturizer, reconstructor and detangler — in that order. You may layer them on and not rinse them out completely. The newer conditioners are not made of waxes and alcohol. They have ingredients that we use on the skin and are good for the hair.

Hot oil treatments and coconut oil do not help your hair — they are very good for removing your hair color and clogging the scalp, however. Apply your conditioner and rinse through your hair, not completely off.

Wrap the hair in a towel and let it sit for about five minutes. No scrubbing or “buffing” your hair with the towel! That is the exact way to remove the shine from your hair and weaken/break stressed hair.

Do Not Comb or Brush Your Wet Hair. Yes. I Said It.

Wet hair is very fragile and should not be combed through until it’s more than halfway dry. Simply drying will remove most of the tangles. While the hair is damp, apply a mousse, gel or favorite smoothing potion to the hair. Little known fact: leaving your hair to “just dry” is going to set you up for mold and mildew on the scalp. In fact, the longer you leave your hair wet the more damage occurs to the hair. It will make your hair oilier, too.

Get a Quality Blow Dryer

If your dryer is more than 10 years old, invest in a new ionic dryer. These dryers really do reduce frizz and dry your hair faster and more gently. They will have lower EMFs and an ionic dryer [under $50, really] will moisturize your hair as it dries rather than cook the water away. We also recommend that you not use curling irons, combs, brushes and tools with metal parts, vent brushes or picks.

You might dry your hair upside down or any way you wish rather than spend a long time using a round brush to get it smooth and straight like your stylist does. Set your hair with Velcro rollers or big pin curls (with a little tension) when it is just dry and leave it while you apply your make-up and get your coffee and a healthy breakfast (which, I hope, includes vitamins).

Hair falling out? Take VIVISCAL PRO — a proven hair grower.

If you keep your hair 3½ inches or shorter we will waive the above rules because you are keeping it short and sassy, not long and luxurious.

One More Great Tip

One of the best suggestions I can give you is to find a way to sit down while fixing your hair and applying your make-up. Set up a dressing table for yourself somewhere in your house with a lighted magnifying mirror, other mirrors, all of your make up, brushes, rollers and vitamins.
