Hair
Removal
Will it hurt?
Removing the strip very quickly is
much like pulling a band aide off.
How often should I have my eyebrows done (or lip, chin,
etc.)?
Every three weeks is average and will keep them in shape.
How much growth do I need before the service?
Your
hair needs to at least have a slight "bend" to it, about 10 days
of growth.
Which type of product works best?
We use a liquid
organic product called "Nudesse". It is body temperature, it
cannot burn like waxes or sugars can, and it epilates the whole hair bulb,
rather than just the root, resulting in slower re-growth and even
discouraging the hair from growing back over a period of time of regular
servicing.
Will it make the hair grow in coarser or thicker?
No,
it actually thins it out and discourages it from growing back.
What causes those little bumps after?
These are
hairs that have been "pulled" at, but not removed because they
were not long enough for the product to "grasp". This doesn't
always happen and is just temporary.

Is there a difference between store brand and
professional products?
Yes, you will find better performance, higher
quality ingredients, higher concentration of the product (less water) and
a better price per ounce or usage with the professional products.
What is the difference between a razor and a scissor
cut?
A scissor cuts the hair very bluntly for a very defined line, as in
the classic "bob cut". It also provides a heavy volume line if
desired.
A razor cutting tool will provide a very "textured", tapered
line resulting in slightly different lengths in the hair ends. This
can also provide fullness, but with a much lighter, softer, airy
feel and look to the resulting hairline.
What is "texturizing"?
Texture within your hairstyle can be achieved in several ways-
mechanically, as with shears or razor tools and temporarily with tools
like irons and/or texturizing styling products, or chemically, such
as with perming techniques or hair straightners. Notice how the texture of
the hair changes with hair color- this is a slight chemical change
resulting in a different texture to the hair than you started with before
hair color. Most texturizing is done during haircutting, putting different
lengths of hair within the style to add body and fullness. The next most
often used form of texturizing the hair is with a chemical treatment,
"perms."
I want to get a perm and a color. How long should I wait
between services and which one should be done first?
It is possible
they could be performed on the same day, or from three days to a week
apart. Perms should be done first if you are doing them closely together
(within a few weeks).
What is the difference between a cap hi-light and
foiling?
Caps have hair pulled through at random, typically using only
one color to hi-light. Foiling is more precise, weaving hair exactly where
and how much. Several colors can be used easily with foiling. A more
natural effect will be achieved with foils also allowing more time between
touch-ups since the color can be applied more closely towards the scalp.
What is the difference between semi and permanent
hair-color?
Semi is deposit only; you can change tone, cover gray or
darken. Permanent hair color can do all that and lighten your color.
Why do conditioners make my hair too soft?
You may
be "over moisturizing" your hair- too much of a good thing.
There are lighter conditioners, ask your stylist which is best for you.
Do I have to wait until my entire old perm has grown out
before I have another one?
No, perms today compensate for different
porosity in the hair so the perm will "take" evenly all over.
Why does my perm "fall out"?
Perms
"calm down" within several weeks. They should last until they
are cut away. Your new hair growth will not be permed, so your style may
seem to flatten, especially at the top. Perhaps a partial perm in the top
area will help your style until the next perm. Average life of a perm is
three months, depending on how often you trim.
What is the difference between a body, a regular and a
spiral perm?
A body wave is a regular perm, but larger rods are used
for less curl, more body. Spiral wraps are a "special technique"
where the hair is wrapped spirally like a corkscrew for that effect. At
least six inches of hair are needed for this type of perm.
I can see where my color didn't take right at the roots.
Your hair grows at about 1/2 inch or more per month. You may see re-growth
within a week of your new color. The average time between re-touches is
4-6 weeks.
My hair looks great when I leave the salon, why can't I
get it to look like that at home?
Your stylist can show you how to
style it at home. She uses specific styling products to achieve your look.
Be sure to take home the recommended products so you can duplicate it.
