Shiny Hair Rules!

Well,  hello there everyone!

I am here today to talk to you about Shiny Hair. I know that so many of your clients (like myself) come into the salon, not only looking to have hair that feels good but, also hair that looks good.

Shiny Hair is something that is has always been considered to reflect the health of a person's hair. That is true in many ways but, many go to extreme lengths to achieve a shiny look. As you know, so many of the products out on the market today contain petroleum, silicone, heavy mineral oils, and similar ingredients that coat the hair. This is artificial shine that can eventually cause product build-up, and also, may block the hair from actually taking in the moisture and nutrients it needs to naturally stay vibrant and feel good. 

Let's talk about shine and take a closer look at what it means!


Shine can be defined as "to be bright by reflection of light".

Shiny hair can be achieved by smoothing out the surface of the hair. Smoothing out the cuticle is vital in getting the hair to reflect the most light as possible.  P-3.2 is used as the last step of the e-CURE Treatment because it helps to smooth the cuticle, sealing in moisture and giving light rays a smooth surface to reflect off of. A lot of stylists have fallen in love with M-3.2 but, P-3.2 is essential to maintain shine!

Spring Style Forecast.

As a lot of you know, it is Fashion Week here in NYC, a time when the biggest and best fashion designers (many upcoming designers as well) get to see the fruits of their labor hit the runway. But for me, like many others, it is time to start re-organizing my closet and finding some staple outfits for the Spring. One of my favorite websites to browse is Modcloth.com. Although I must mention that I have never purchased anything from this site, I do love looking at all of the vintage style pieces that they have to offer.

Here are some of my favorites from the past few weeks:










Again, they are all from modcloth.com

If you like clothing that has that vintage/retro look, I would highly reccomend this website!

The best macaroni & cheese in the world!

Hello Everyone!

I hope that you all had a wonderful weekend. I am here to share something that I had the pleasure in indulging in over the weekend. This was a present from my boss--- I was so happy when I saw that I had a chance to actually try the "World's Best Mac & Cheese"!

I have seen this on a number of lists online as some of the best that there is. Originally from Seattle, there is a branch of Beecher's downtown in NYC. Of course, you can get some served fresh if you are ever in the area but, if not, you could also get it delivered online by clicking over to the Beecher's Official Site here.




Okay so I would have to agree with the customers of Beechers who say that it is the best--- it really is! The flavor of the flagship cheese is absolutely amazing and I almost forgot to take a picture of the final results, out of the oven!

I have tried lots of mac & cheese in my day but, this has been the absoulute BEST that I've ever had!
