The summer heat tends to leave the pores of the skin and scalp open, allowing for further absorption of ingredients in hair products – so make sure your hair and body are absorbing the good stuff! Try out these summer hair care tips!

  1. Use summer hair care products with natural UV protection
  2. Wear a hat or hair scarf
  3. Wear hair in gentle up-dos and stylish braids
  4. Wash your hair right after the pool or sun exposure
  5. Eliminate the green pool hair – add conditioner to your hair prior to jumping in the pool!
  6. Deep conditioning treatments

To help determine your hair texture and what it lacks in the summer, ask your hair stylist.

I add a different treatment before or after color. Time consuming but necessary.

You explore the rhythm with a hair designer who can define the soul of the hair. Through touching the hair, seeing hair wet and dry and talking to client to explore new possibilities. To change your hair you must look at the whole picture.

I foiled with bleach with keritan. Keritan having protein to make the hair stronger is counter intuitive to what I understand bleaching to do. Stay tuned for some great stories from our clients.

Looking forward to many beautiful blonding techniques using the bleach with keratin.

Ask for a razor cut that will give a new fun look. While I was in New York this November I worked with a grand master of the razoring techniques. The old techniques are the new ones. Challenging myself to use a new tool to create with was awkward but stimulating. So I am off now to create some different looks for my psyche. cia Bj

Flamboyance is a very cool natural concept in hair color. If you are bored with your hair color you must try this .

Her teaching skills are second to no one else of this generation. Razor cutting class was over the top. I spent 16 hours  cutting hair in a very groovy urban loft space in NYC.

Why do I go to NYC to educate? The education is over the top.

She’s someone I want to follow in the coming months. Sally’s confidence makes me want to take a class with her. She’s good,very good hairdresser and she knows it. Nothing wrong with that!
Sally was interviewed on the Today Show on 6-14. When she was asked about Keritan smoothing treatments she gave them rave reviews. The potential danger is not affecting any of her clients or staff.
I agree with her but I also do all the reseach on the products I use. Keritan by Coppola is what I recommend.
I like Sally am not afraid to voice my opinion.

Keratin comes from Australian Sheep hair that is emulsified. Applied to the hair it wraps around cuticle to smooth. Hot 450 degree flat-iron seals in structure to the hair. I love this product.
