I'm excited!

So here is what’s new at Colorworks!

  First off, I started the month by going to a class to learn the finer points of using Marcia  Teixeira Keratin smoothing treatment.

It is a treatment of keratin carefully applied then driven deep into the hair to leave it soft, shiny and frizz free for up to 4 months. The small size of the Keratin molecules penetrate under the hair’s cuticle and seep into the inner hair shaft, helping to improve the quality of the hair from the inside.  The Keratin fills in the gaps between the cuticle and the inner hair shaft and becomes sealed into the hair’s inner structure by the high heat flat iron.  It penetrates the hair repairing internal damage and coats the hair preventing further damage. The results are SOFT, SHINY, STRAIGHT hair.It can be used on dyed or highlighted hair.  It does NOT use strong chemicals to open and close the hair cuticle in an effort to straighten it, “breaking the bonds” of the hair shaft. Keratin is a natural substance which comprises approximately 88% of your hair.
Here is a before & after of Carrie’s hair.

   I was also invited to a class introducing a revolutionary new color line!

Love the look of your hair after a trip to the salon, but hate the overpowering smell of hair color? Me too! Now you can get amazing color results without the smell of ammonia or the scalp irritation that can come along with it. Instead of using traditional ammonia, the INOA line uses MOA along with an oil-based gel and a cream developer. The revolutionary Oil Delivery System (ODS), actually results in richer color and smoother hair.  The ODS provides twice as much lipid protection to hair allowing for a better-preserved hair fiber while reducing scalp discomfort. So far it is available in 49 shades.

   This is a huge advancement in hair color technology! Standing for "innovation no ammonia", INOA is not only better for the health of your hair, but it is said to produce better results too. INOA does not upset the hair cuticle as much as conventional hair dyes, preserving hair strength. Also, since there's no smelly ammonia, there's no reason to pour on the fragrance, which is the culprit behind the scratchy irritation many women feel while processing hair color.  I am very excited to have this new product in the salon.  I will still be using Schwarzkopf and Goldwell also- please let me know if you are interested in upgrading to INOA !

 Here is Ted Gibson with one of his models.

I am very excited to be taking a full week off! I will be going up to Canada and staying in a posh waterfront home at Bliss Landing! I plan on relaxing as much as possible.  You can still book your appointments online for before or after my trip. If you haven’t tried the online booking yet, please do J  It is SUPER easy & you do not need to know how long to book the appointment for, just what you want to have done. It will only give you options that are available so if you don’t see the day or time you want – It’s probably already booked. If you can’t find a time that   works you can still call, email or text me and I will help you. So far everyone loves it! Several people commented they like it because they felt more comfortable trying to get a last minute appointment. Others like it since they always think of booking an appointment late at night. One thing to remember is; if you have booked an appointment and did not immediately get a confirmation letter in your email, it may be going to your spam file. Save Genbook as a friend & it shouldn’t happen again.

       The winner for the Mothers Day portrait was Leslie Nelson. If anyone deserves to be treated special it is her. I am looking forward to working with both her & Jennifer Finch on this project! If you haven’t checked out Jens page yet,  check it out here. I love her style & I am planning on having some portraits done of Marty & I-since we haven’t had pictures done together since 1998! Since she works on location, I may have to put the pooches in some of the pictures too!
