The SP signature facial uses all natural and organic Eminence products custom blended based on your skin type with the most amazing scents you can imagine; oranges, mango’s, blueberries and mint all provide sweet and subtle smells in the air, and the most refreshing feeling on your skin. My favorite product was the blueberry cleanser. It was much less harsh feeling than my normal skin care products I use at home, and it left my face feeling refreshed. I’d always considered my skin more on the oily side. It turns out I was over exfoliating and not giving my skin the moisture it was craving.

I have to admit, at first I was skeptical of the “all fruit and natural based products” and whether or not they would really do anything for my skin that would last beyond the nice smells and initial feeling during the facial. It only took one facial to make me a believer. The products provided not only a great experience, but lasting results. My skin has felt more refreshed and moisturized since switching to the products, and has a healthy glow nothing else has given me. Bring on the harsh winter weather!

Now available with an amazing deal at Shear – get 20% off when purchasing any 3 products in the salon through July.

How does it work?

The powder attaches to your hair strands coating them with a negative charge, creating “ionic repulsion” and leaving you with full voluminous hair and a natural feeling scalp with a matte finish.  Powder Lift™ is made with Eufora’s signature Certified Organic Aloe Vera and a unique ionic repulsion technology that turns liquid into powder then back into liquid during use and also acts as a dry shampoo as it absorbs excessive oil. It’s a powder that’s actually 90 percent liquid.

How can you use it?

• Simply rub the product between your hands and rake fingers through dry hair for full voluminous strands and all-over texture.
• For a root lift, apply the product directly onto the root line and massage for lift and volume as well as refreshed clean looking hair. Just a little sprinkle gives you a lot of lift.
• Use with other Eufora products to complete the look and hold it all day or night

Key Ingredients include:

• Aloe Barbedensis Leaf Juice – Adds moisture and is beneficial for hair and scalp health
• Soy Protein – Enhances hair manageability, body and texture, Improves hair strength
• Panthenol – Vitamin Pro-B5 improves hair condition without weight
• Silica Silylat – Derived from sand provides excellent oil absorption
• Malt Dextrin – Starch that provides conditioning benefits to the hair

A good stylist is someone who both listens to you and communicates with you. Finding that right person can be tricky, here are some steps to get you started:

1. Ask a friend or family member for a referral. Chances are if they’ve been going to a place for years it’s because they’ve had a great experience there. It’s always a good place to start.

2. heck out salons that are convenient for you and where you live or work so that you’ll be likely to keep going there and it won’t be a hassle for you.

3. Ask a salon rep for someone who is familiar with your particular hair type, style or preferences.  Many stylists have specialties you may not know about until you ask.

4. Don’t be afraid to try something new, if you’re not happy at your current place or with the person you saw last, scope out other options.

5. Take a test drive. Get a hair cut first before plunging into something more risky like a dramatic style change or coloring. Get a feel for how the stylist listens to you and how you feel about the cut experience before going for the whole package.

In the midst of cold weather, snow and wind it’s easy to feel and see the dramatic changes between Summer and Winter. To combat these changes, we change our wardrobe, the tires on our cars, and our eating habits.  So why do we still use the same hair products year round? Just the same way that dry cold weather causes plants to die and strips them of their leaves, the harsh cold weather can wreck havoc on our hair. To prevent winter damage, follow these tips and you’ll be ready for summer, instead of spending the summer months repairing winter damage.

Condition: During the dry winter months, our scalp tends to have less natural moisture, and can dry up pretty easily. Dry hair is unhealthy and can cause damage that is hard to fix. Keeping your hair well conditioned will make sure your hair isn’t dry. Deep conditioning treatments are available at the salon. For your at home treatments Shear recommends the following salon products:

• Phyto Products: Phytojoba shampoo and Phytoseseme conditioner
• Phyto 9 leave In Conditioner
• Kevin Murphy Hydrate Me shampoo and conditioner
• Kevin Murphy Born Again Deep Conditioner

Hydrate:  If you can’t condition daily, make sure you’re washing with cool water everyday, and yes we said COOL. Hot water strips your hair of nutrients when used too often. Rinsing your hair in cooler water is another way to ensure that the weather doesn’t dry your scalp.  Try the Eufora line of salon products for a moisturizing shampoo and conditioner that provide your hair with the hydration needed to protect, moisturize, and detangle.

• Eufora Hydrating Shampoo
• Eufora Hydrating Leave-In Conditioner

A few quick changes today, can save damaging effects from taking effect later. All of these amazing salon products can be purchased at the salon. If we can’t save your flower gardens, at least we can protect your hair. Come by today, don’t let winter wreck havoc on your mane. Mention you saw this on the Blog and get 20% off two or more products through March!

Better Skin – Use a better quality product like Eminence. It will help keep your skin younger looking and healthier than a lot of off the shelf products out there. Healthy skin is radiant skin, and we could all use that to start the New Year! To jump start your health looking skin, you can start with an SP facial or microdermabrasion treatment. Call the salon to find out which one is right for you.

Healthy Skin – is also affected by the make up we use every day. Caked-on makeup made from chemicals blocks your pores from breathing. By using better products with better ingredients we relieve the stress that make up puts on our faces. GLO cosmetics make-up products have healthy skin at the top of mind. From eye shadows to foundation, their products are made from compounds that are better for your skin.

Better Hair – Salon quality products are always better. And don’t even think about using box dye in your bathroom! Healthy hair starts with professional treatment. While people often think that means more expensive, in the long term it actually saves you money and time. By coming to a salon and working with a professional, you can get a hair treatment that’s right for your hair type, and that will last a lot longer.

Better Nails – Shellac is the name of a new product for people who want to maintain natural nails. The formulation looks as good from day 1 to day 14, but does not damage nail beds. The best part is that it’s quick drying – your nails are completely dry by the time your manicure is over, and strong enough to withstand accidental knocks. It acts like a plasticized coating, suitable as a long lasting polish but removes quicker and doesn’t dry our your nails like normal polish. Come in for a Shellac manicure today.

Start the New Year right – come in to Shear Productions and let one of our salon professionals help you fulfill your resolutions. We’ve got the products and tools to take you from drab to fab for 2011!

Our faces are the first things people see which is why there are so many skin products and treatments out there. What many of them don’t target is the root of healthy skin. True healthy skin is deeper than what you see on the surface, it begins on the cellular level, which is exactly where microdermabrasion goes to work. Whether you have a typical microderm machine treatment or the Vibraderm treatment, both slough off dead skin, clean pores and eliminate black heads to leave your skin feeling smooth and looking softer.

Microdermabrasion is beneficial for many skin types and problems. Its benefits come from the fact that it unclogs pores relieving your skin of built up oil and dead skin cells. It’s also helpful in cases of age spots, acne scaring, fine lines, sun damage, and stretch marks as well.

The best part about this treatment is that it’s so easy. You can come to Shear Productions for this zero-low risk treatment and leave and enjoy the rest of your day without any downtime. The 30-45 minute treatment can even be done on your lunch break!

Now is the perfect time to try this amazing treatment because Shear Productions is offering sessions for $60 a piece, and when you purchase three sessions you get a complimentary Eminence Mask, that’s a savings of $50! Call us today to learn how you can get started towards healthier skin that goes deeper than the surface.
