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.

A Heater That Conditions Hair Too?!

Posted on by Tara Esnes

I know, I know.. sounds like a contradiction and almost too good to be true, but Hot Tools has actually made this possible! We just got in the Hot Tools Conditioning Steam Setter, and what better time to get this in than the summer! I’m sure a lot of your clients are battling frizz with the warmer, more humid months, as well as dry and damaged hair from all the time spent at the beach during their summer getaways.

Are you in need of a quick and easy service that will condition your clients hair while giving them those tousled, beachy summer curls they’re looking for? This is definitely the right tool for your salon. The Conditioning Steam Setter conditions as it curls! A warm and moisturizing steam forms the curls, ensuring that hair is never exposed to the damaging, dry heat that more traditional irons have. Who needs more dry heat when your clients are already exposing their hair to the hot summer sun? This also comes with 14 jumbo rollers making this whole process quick and easy – the hair can set in 5-10 minutes. Have a client that’s really on the go? You can achieve “The 30-Second Curl” by blow-drying their hair with rollers to evaporate the moisture faster. My favorite part?!.. it includes an Argan Conditioning Treatment and Thermal Protectant to protect the hair from heat damage. In need of revamping your retail section for summer? These are also perfect for retailing to your clients!

Shave in Style with The Peanut

Posted on by Tara Esnes

Grooming is one of the many activities that men try to avoid on a daily basis, as it’s time consuming and it certainly be difficult to master the art of shaving. I’m sure you see male clients regularly at your salon who are in need of a quick shave, and they might even ask you tips on products and shaving tools to keep up their grooming at home. If you’re in need of a new grooming product for men, I highly recommend The Peanut by Wahl. Introduced in 2007, its funky peanut design and small size gives makes it a favorite among men! It’s also very small, lightweight and extremely portable making it easy to use on your clients. I find the peanut shaped design to be clever (and cute!), and Wahl is most certainly a reputable brand for grooming products. We have different variations to choose from:


The Wahl Peanut is the original clipper of this style that first came out. It weighs less than 4 oz. and is less than 4″ long! It has the power and performance of a full-size clipper with the versatility of a heavy-duty trimmer, but is tinier than most. It also comes with four snap-on combs!








The Peanut also has a cordless version you can retail to your busier clients who are always on the go! Great for travelling, this portable battery-operated clipper has 45 minutes of cutting time per battery.




The Peanut also comes in black for your more stylish male clients who want a different look than the original! View all of our different Peanut Clippers here!
