Saturday!!!

   It's Saturday and the end a a very busy week. It looks like the weather has turned in our favor and Summer has blessed us with it's presence. I was hoping to post our first test video today but due to thechnological difficulties it will have to be put off for a bit. Technology is a great thing when it's working right. When it's not it only serves to remind you of how unsophisticated you truly are.
   Thanks to Dean Bane we now have a new ceiling in the shampoo room. He does beautiful work, so if you live in the area and need any projects attended to around your house or business, he's the man for the job. I've enclosed a picture of it that I took while lying back in the shampoo bowl so that you can see what it will look like on your next visit. That's the only exciting thing that has happened this week. I'm running out of ideas to address on the blog so as always, your questions and comments are always welcome.
   I thank you for visiting our little sector of cyberspace and I hope everyone gets out to enjoy the beautiful day we are having. Until next next week, peace, love and enjoy the day.

Staff Pick of the Week

12:16

  As of 12:16PM yesterday, Summer has officially arrived in the region. That means that a lot of you will be taking advantage of what the season has to offer. Sun, fun and frivolity, lazy days at the beach spent bronzing your body in the golden sunlight, outdoor festivals, concerts, barbeques and afternoons at the pool. All of these activities are excellent ways to while away the season but they can have a devastating effect on your hair and skin if you're not carefull. Here are a few tips to keep your hair healthy, silky, shiny and manageable all summer long.

   Use professional Salon products on your hair especially if your hair is color treated. Make sure that the formulations you are using contain UV inhibitors that give your hair some protection from the sun's damaging rays. Your stylist is the best place to start. They know your hair and can tell you wich products are best suited to your hair and it's needs.

   Condition, condition,condition! Your hair will need a little extra moisture if you spend a lot of time outdoors. Use a light, moisturizing conditioner after every shampoo. Apply a leave-in conditioner to your hair before your styling products and atleast once a week give your hair a deep moisturizing treatment such as KENRA'S Nourishing Masque. This is one of my personal favorite products for rejuvenating dry, damaged, stressed out hair.

   If you are going to be swimming, wether in a pool or at the beach, use a clarifying shampoo as soon as you can to help remove any chemicals or minerals from your hair. Incidently, if your hair has experienced that strange green cast after being in a pool, it's not from the chlorine, it is from the high copper content that we have in the water in our area.  The chlorine acts as a bleaching agent, opening the cuticle layer of the hair, allowing it to become saturated with water. As the sun dries your hair, the water evaporates and leaves behind a mineral deposit in the open cuticle layer. If you have ever seen what happens to a copper pot that is left out in the elements it suddenly becomes clear why your hair has turned a not so pleasant shade of green. If you should experience this, don't panick, give us a call. At Vincent's Hair Design we have a deminaralization treatment that will remove the impurities while restoring your hair to it's natural, healthy state.

   If you're going to be lounging around the house enjoying the sun,give your hair a mini spa treatment. Apply a moisturizing treatment to your hair, cover it with a plastic processing cap and let the sun's heat work it's magic on your stressed out hair.These are just a few tips that will keep your hair in it's optimum condition this Summer. As always we look forward to your questions and comments. At Vincent's Hair Design, our job is to help keep you looking your best.

Happy Father's Day!

   Saturday is here marking the end of another busy week at the Salon.It will be an even busier Sunday, we're replacing the ceiling in the shampoo room and hoping everything goes smoothly and with no gliches so that we can open on Monday with monimal mess left behind.
   Things are really starting to roll for Amanda and Evan, their appointment books are starting to fill up, so if you would like to experience the talents of these fabulous young stylists you should make your appointments soon. I'm proud of them. It is unusual to find young people in this day and age that have such dedication to their craft, talent and a strong work ethic. I guess I should also thank their parents for instilling these values in them.

   Speaking of parents, it's Fathers Day tomorrow, the time of the year that we honor our Fathers, bestowing upon them tokens of our appreciation, more ties with clever sayings that they only wear under great duress, gadgets and gizmos and cheap cologne.I can't celebrate in such fashion as my Father has been gone for a very long time, leaving this world much sooner than he should of. I would like to take a moment and pay tribute to my Dad. He was part of the Greatest Generation, the ones we can thank for the things that we have now.My Father was a real "mans'" man,as many of that byegone age were, hard as nails and as strong as a bull. He wasn't particularly warm and fuzzy, he was never one to say I love you, although there was never any doubt in our minds that he did. His actions spoke louder than any words ever could. He took great pride in our accomplishments and taught us that there was no shame in our failures. He taught us to be fair and honest in our dealings, to take pride in the things that we did as well as ourselves and to work hard but to take a little time to enjoy all of the pleasures, large and small, that life has to offer.

   I was always amazed by the fact that there didn't seem to be anything he couldn't do if he put his mind to it and I learned thru his guidance that there was nothing I couldn't do if I so had the desire. His sense of humor was dry and sarcastic and hilarious if you knew how to take him and if there was anything I truly miss about him, that would be it. But I don't really miss him, although he no longer walks this earth he is still a part of me and always will be. So tomorrow when my work is done, the mess is cleaned up and all is put right, I'll hoist my glass high in a silent toast to a man who once was . The man whose shadow I exist in. Happy Father's Day!

Saturdays Rock !!!!

   It's the end of the week and the first, although unofficial, weekend of summer. If you're headed out to the beach don't forget your sunscreen and keep your hair covered  if that's possible. You wouldn't want that beautiful, new color that all of your friends are envious of to be faded by the sun and fun and long gone by Monday.
   There's nothing new to share with you this week except for the fact that one of our "Staff Pick" products that we reviewed a couple of weeks ago has been discontinued by Redken.( I hate when that happens). So if you're a fan of Redken's Contour 08, stock up on it while it is still available.
   The play Chicago opened at the Memorial Opera House last night. If you get the chance,get out and see the fantastic retro styles that our Amanda designed for their production. She does such a wonderfull job and we're all very proud of her.
  As always, we look forward to your questions and comments concerning your hair. We hope everyone has a fun and safe weekend.
