Grey Blending – A Great New Service to Offer Your Male Clients!

Posted on by Tara Esnes

Offering services that are specifically designed for men are a great way to bring in more male clients. However, there is a big difference between how men and women view hair coloring. Women are usually looking for a new look, and will make big changes sometimes, but the average guy who has never done more to their hair than cut it, might feel intimidated by having to get his hair colored. There are a lot of men today who are getting their hair professionally colored, but there’s also the men who just want to cover some greys without looking like they are trying to hide it!

A service called “Grey Blending” is a quick and easy process that doesn’t give full grey coverage, but rather was designed to blend greys with his own hair color for a natural look that will take years off! Its a great way to introduce men to hair coloring without making a big change. The color is normally semi or demi permanent, so it will gradually fade over three to four weeks. The service also only takes 15-20 minutes and is a great add-on for a cut!

Need some new supplies to start offering this new service? We have what you need here at Pure Spa Direct!

Gotu Kola, Your New Go To Ingredient

Posted on by Christine D'Aquila

With more and more people shifting towards living greener lifestyles, having more natural options for treatments is vital in every business in this industry.

One powerful ingredient that can be used in a variety of ways to compliment any service menu is Gotu Kola powder.
Gotu Kola has been used for centuries in areas such as India, China, and Indonesia due to its many benefits including those related to beauty. There’s even a legend in China that it is a “fountain of youth” herb that enabled a man to live to be 200!
Legends aside, Gotu Kola has been found to be useful in collagen production (hello anti aging friend!), improving blood flow, aiding in skin conditions such as psoriasis as well as being an antioxidant. There is even evidence that it can help improve elasticity and thicken the skin—great news for treating cellulite!
The great thing about it being in a powder is that it can be used in facials, body muds, scrubs and even hair treatments! This is a powerful ingredient to have in your arsenal that is easy to work with and extremely cost effective!

Vintage-Inspired Hair Styles for your Clients Fall Weddings!

Posted on by Tara Esnes

Now that it’s officially Fall and October, I’m sure you have a few clients who are getting married this month. Fall is a beautiful time to tie the knot! It’s personally my favorite season, and while Spring and Summer weddings are the most popular, Fall weddings have been gaining recent popularity as well. There is just something so romantic about Autumn nuptials, don’t you think?! It’s definitely the foliage and slight crisp in the air that can help set the tone for a lifetime of love and happiness 🙂

Is your salon in need of some new inspiration for Fall wedding hairstyles for your clients? We have a great Vintage Inspired Wedding Hairstyling Book that features 29 hairstyles, all of which reference styles from the Edwardian Era through the 1960s! With the death of Queen Victoria in 1901, and the succession of her son Edward, thus began the Edwardian Era. Overall, Edwardian Era hairstyles are known for being very feminine. Their hairstyles had a soft and romantic, yet loose look about them. Hair was also usually dressed up and away from the face, and buns and wavy updo’s were quite popular – all amazing choices for an Autumn wedding that your clients will love! Be sure to pick up a copy today here at Pure Spa Direct to have your salon prepared for the upcoming wedding season.
