How's your hair?

Summer is officially over here in Winnipeg, and this is the question.  How's your hair?  Our climate is about to take a turn and I just want to know if your hair is ready?  Are your appointments booked?  How much maintenance is that new color you just received or, more importantly, how much did that leave-in mask cost?!

Now that we are preparing for Halloween and snowy nights let's not forget our beautiful crowns!  In order to escape the dryness and brittleness of -40, you must have a simple regimen that you start right now.  By the time the snow comes, you'll be used to that extra step when attempting to keep your ends from crumbling off.  This is the time to talk to your stylist about some heavier masks or treatments you can start using.  Start now so that by the holidays your hair will be healthy and lustrous.

Everyone wants to have nice hair with very little effort.  The truth is, even a little effort goes a long way.  Take the time to care about your hair, it's just one of many parts that make up who you are.  Love it, be kind and take care.  That's the fresh perspective...

FOR AL Smile

Smile though your heart is aching Smile even though it's breaking When there are clouds in the sky, you'll get by If you smile through your fear and sorrow Smile and maybe tomorrow You'll see the sun come shining through for you

Light up your face with gladness Hide every trace of sadness Although a tear may be ever so near That's the time you must keep on trying Smile, what's the use of crying? You'll find that life is still worthwhile If you just smile

Too hot! Now that we are into the swing of things (temperature wise), what plans do you have for your hair's protection?  Are you ready for sun?  The damage that can be caused to your unprotected hair can be controlled!  You just need to know a few simple things.

1) Wear a hat.  This type of protection is the best and keeps the sun rays directly OFF your locks.  You may be hot but your hair will thank you.

2) Try to use products that contain SPF.  If you can't wear a hat, this is the next best thing.

In all your comings and goings this summer, please do not forget to protect your locks.  That's the fresh perspective...

ARE YOU BEING SERVED?

We had an in-salon class on Tuesday about consultations.  We really focused on the things that need to happen when you meet a client for the first time.  The way we had been conducting our 'first-time' experiences were okay, but not great.  With the help of Kevin Murphy educator, Timothy Durant, we were able to learn how to better serve our clients.

How are your salon experiences?  What do you expect from your local spot?  As a paying customer, what do you want out of your one hour haircut appointment?  Were you well taken care of?  Did your stylist explain processes, manage your expectations, and solve your hair problems?  Were you satisfied?  Does it even matter to you? There are so many salons out there and it's hard to know which one is best for you.  We want anyone that is a client of ours to feel like they are our number one priority and their hair even more so.  We want to help you achieve all your hair dreams.  We want to serve you.  If you've ever been by our shop and have any suggestions for us, drop us a line or leave a comment.  We are here for you (and your hair).  That's the fresh perspective...
