A new and very special product

This is a very special shampoo in that is made of all natural ingredients and best of all it is produced right here in Sarasota.  The base is coconut oil and it is free of sulfates and parabens.  We are using it at our back bar plus being available on our retail shelf.  The shampoo has a very creamy consistency and a very mild citrus/ mint fragrance ( which we requested ).  The bottles can be refilled in the salon for a reduced price.  Look for the addition of a conditioning rinse and body lotions.  We would like to hear from you as to the types of fragrances that you would be interested in.  Just add a comment and let us know.

What's new at the little salon

Over the summer months we have added a few new products and services.  The first is a make up bar stocked with Trucco by Sebastian.  The Trucco is available for clients to use after hair services to freshen up at no charge, in addition to being available for purchase.

Gabi is adding a little drama to Lauren's eyes.  The Trucco line has a nice spectrum of eye colors, from natural looks to more dramatic.

The after picture shows just how natural a well done make up application can look. 

Rapscallion

We are calling this the Rapscallion.  Check out the word on Wikipedia and you will see why.  This is not for everyone but on some people, in some environments it works.  There is a section from mid crown that runs to the back of the head that has been put into dreadlocks.  The remainder of the hair has been cut into a "somewhat"precise asymmetrical shape, with patches of platinum throughout the dreaded area and fringe.  The base color is a dark mahogany.  As you can see, we are very diverse at the little salon.

VERY VERY BLONDE Laura

Laura's favorite way to wear her hair is with just a bit of dark showing at the root.  I like it when the tips are white.  Her hair goes through a few looks between coloring visits.  Kristin has been coloring Laura's hair, or I should say decoloring her hair and I have been cutting it.  We are working on a slightly different shape, a more tapered neckline and a bit longer in the crown area.  This look is very unique and Laura wears it very well!  Laura is a personal trainer at Balance here in the Rosemary District.  Balance is on the corner of 5th and Lemon.  

Mark

Mark is home for the summer from college in Alabama.  He came into the salon last week with his sister, who was in for a visit with Brian.  Mark was pretty much open to let me do what I thought would be best.  He did say he would like to leave some length.  So, I did leave the back and sides long and cut the layers and fringe area shorter.  We finished it off with two of our newest products, the Davines for Wizards line.  I combined two paste type products, one for hold and separation (#2) and one for shine and hold (#10).

Wendy

Wendy is a recent Ringling graduate in graphic design.  Kristin has been coloring Wendy's beautiful Cherry Red hair and I have been cutting it.  The cut is evolving into a more layered Bob.  The heavy fringe gives Wendy's incredible blue eyes a nice frame.  The products we used on Wendy, were from the Davines for Wizards line.  The Mattering Mousse, which smells good enough to eat or drink!  This mousse is one of the best I've used.  It leaves the hair feeling soft and shiny, with just the right amount of hold and volume. We always look forward to Wendy's visits, she is very appreciative of our work.  She is really a delight to have in the salon!

Alia

Alia's posting is far too long in coming.  She has been our receptionist (and so much more) for quite a while now.  When you call the little salon on Thursday or Friday, Alia is the person you will talk to.  And.....very soon she will be here on Tuesday also!!!  Alia has been with the costume department at the Asolo Theater for a few years.  While she is off for the summer, we have been fortunate to have her with us in the salon.  We are hoping that she will eventually become a permanent feature here at the little salon.
