When curly hair from the summer has already lightened from the sun, you can have this look through fall and winter.

After taking numerous classes on different techniques Ive created my own  for highlighting textured hair. It is designed to the curl pattern each individual possesses .

Hair Transforamatin With Fusio-Dose

Fusio-Dose, The Kerastase Hair Transformation.
Shinier, Healthier, Stronger Hair... all in 4 little shots!

Fuzio-dose is an intense concentrate that can be combined with different hair treatments all in one!  When you come in to see us at the salon , you will have a free consultation with a professional diagnosis of your hair condition to customize the perfect dose for your hair needs!  The 4 booster caps offer different benefits that allow you to intermix with the various concentrates for an intense dose of healthiness!  They can be used as often as you wish and should become part of your ritual salon treatment.

The Process:

• The concentrate is combined with the booster and this mixture is sprayed thoroughly into the hair. Following with a long head massage to allow the ingredients to seep into the hair, then rinsed out. Approximately a 10-20min process.

• Results: RADIANT, HEALTHY, LUSTROUS-AMAZING HAIR!!!!!

The inside scoop of the 4 concentrate doses and booster caps:

1.  Concentre Sunstatif (Purple): Volume and density to increase thickness of hair.
Booster Omega 3&6: Replenishment to improve elasticity and provides substance and vitality.

• Omega-3 has gained attention for its ability to combat dry and brittle hair, hair loss, dry and flaky scalp.

• The benefits of omega-3 include adding luster, sheen and elasticity to your hair. Both DHA and EPA are vital for the nourishment of hair follicles.

• Omega-3 can help restart hair growth, help hair grow quicker and stronger—even prevent or reverse hair loss!

• Omega-6 helps to promote hair growth.

2.  Concentre Vita-ciment (Green) : Reinforcement to replenish protein for strength and repair.    Booster Ceramide: Reinforcement to restore damage and strengthen hair fiber.

• Think of ceramides as hair glue! Without them our cuticle layers would simply fall off and unhinge themselves rather than gently weather and erode from the constant damage they endure. Damaged hair has typically exhausted its natural supply of ceramides and is often brittle, dry and difficult to manage as a result.

• Ceramides are needed as a part of any basic moisture and protein conditioning plan to restore the hair's health.

• Ceramides perform a "barrier function" and help reduce the hair's overall porosity. Ceramides bind to the hair fiber in damaged, vulnerable areas to help prevent natural moisture and protein loss that occurs when we manipulate our hair.

• Heat users (blow dryers, flat irons, curling irons, ect.) will find that ceramide rich products greatly improve the condition and appearance of heat abused hair.

• Those who dabble in hair color will also find that their colors deposit more evenly when the hair has been conditioned with ceramide rich products prior to the service.

• Ceramides have also been shown to protect the hair against ultraviolet radiation from outside sun exposure.

3.  Concentre Oleo-fusion (Orange): Nourishment for dry hair creating a smooth, sleek finish.    Booster Ionium: The ionium molecules improve smoothness of hair.

• Ionium brings in-depth nutrition and anti-dryness protection for smoothness and shine.

• Penetrates directly into the core of the hair filament to develop an instant effect.

• Intense nutrition.

4.  Concentre Pixelist (Pink): Color Protection to enhance color brilliance.
 Booster Polyphenols: Color radiance for long lasting color protection.

• This booster has anti-oxidants to prevent hair color from fading.

• Affects the hair growth cycle and increases it.

• Highly effective anti-oxidants protect the colored hair from fading.

Prep + Relax + Repeat

Going from the bright, easy breezy lifestyle of summer to the cold frigid winter is always an adjustment.

We all had fun in the sun, enjoying the beach , rooftop pools, tanning and outdoor activities but this always leaves your hair in bad shape. Dry and brittle, how do you get ahead of the game and treat your hair and have it always looking good?

Color

Often times people tend to go darker for the fall and winter both hair and clothing. If you dont want a huge change and are willing to do a small amount of color Guiseppe Bicceri reccomend face framing highlights.

In a salon a colorist worth his weight in gold, looks at your skin tone and can go one shade lighter to give you the amazing effects.

• Your skin looks brighter and healthier without makeup

• Your face is highlighted

Cut

For your cut, Elena O. says mix it up!

A nice bob is a drastic change one can make to refresh your look and give hair a change to grow in strong and healthy. If your not into that...

The modern bob has changed in ways that one can only imagine and helps it become the go to look for tons of diferent types of people and faces.

Hair Focus: Color Gloss

Restore hydration, regain luster and create radiance is the goal! It's time to maintain healthy looking hair and keep the hair alive with shine!  It's all about the Gloss!!

Hair Gloss is designed to tighten and seal the hair cuticles.  Resulting in a high gloss shine that locks moisture in and protects the hair from daily environmental stress. It's the perfect solution for the "color shy" client as it last for 4-6 weeks and does not change the internal nature of the hair.

There are two types of hair Gloss: Color Gloss and Clear Gloss.

COLOR GLOSS

 With Autumn upon us, it's the perfect moment for a change!  With a Color Gloss you can enhancethe color subtlety enlivening your hair!  GLOW, GLOW, GLOW!

Request a Color Gloss  in a complementary color to your current hue (within two to three shades) to enrich your color.  Also, as an "in between refresher" to your permanent color services to boost the color.  Additionally, can be used to tone down hair color or highlights that are too bright or brassy!

CLEAR GLOSS

Don't say "good bye" to the way the summer sun makes your hair glisten.....say "hello" to Clear Gloss to keep that summer sparkle all year round!  SHINE ON!!!  Not only does Gloss make your hair glimmer, it beautifully decreases the coarseness and frizz of your hair! 

Leaving a soft, lustrous and healthy appearance without adding color.  Clear Gloss is also great for color treated hair as it increases the color longevity while protecting hair from fading.
