BRAZILIAN BLOWDRY – client feedback

// June 11th, 2010 // No Comments » // Brazilian Keratin Straightening, June 2010, Services

Ciao a tutti!

We welcome feedback … especially feedback on the Brazilian Blowdry… and post it here. It helps you in your own research on the treatment and it helps us. More and more companies are marketing keratin straightening products and we want to stick with what we think works best. Of course, results will vary some from one person to the next depending on the hair. However, one client who booked today for the second time (her first treatment was in mid March) left this comment behind, saying it really does work. “Brazilian blowdry has transformed my life. After years of hair misery, I now have hair that I love! The staff at Sergio’s salon are all lovely, it’s a real pleasure to come here.” (Grazie mille!!!) Let us know what you’ve think if you’ve had it already. And view the other posts further down, if you want to find out more.

A presto, Sergio

Top tips for summer hair

// June 10th, 2010 // No Comments » // June 2010

Just a few thoughts and recommendations on hair care this summer.

:) Try and treat your hair like you would your skin. To help stop colour fade and dehydration, always apply a specialist UV filter product to protect hair before heading out to the sun or pool. :) Always use a good shampoo to remove sand, sea salt and chlorine. (If you want “surf hair” then use a product that is designed to achieve it). :) Use a weekly intensive conditioning treatment to rehydrate hair and boost shine. :) Before hitting the beach, use a revitalising serum on the hair. Apply and twist long hair up so it can really penetrate, or slick back shorter hair. :) Book an appointment for a clean cut to get rid of dead ends and split ends to help prevent further damage to your hair.

JUNE 2010 – Latest news

// June 5th, 2010 // No Comments » // June 2010, Press Coverage, Services, The Salon

Buon giorno.

I’m looking out on to a St Martin’s Lane at its best. 29 degrees, a great atmosphere and a lot of buzz going on. Jamie’s Italian opened up the road last night for a trial run (it officially opens Monday 7th) so now I’ve got the food I grew up with right under my nose; and next door, the v smart Mexican Cantina Laredo is about to kick off. As is the new St Martin’s Courtyard for shops. IN fact, it looks like recession is taking a broom to the area; new faces cropping up everywhere. A year ago, it didn’t look this way. I guess it all started with my tiramisu.

There is plenty going on in the salon too! And if you’re planning to make the most of the sunshine this summer, just remember Kerastase has a “soleil” range of products specifically for protection and repair from the sun’s UV rays, heat and chlorinated / salt water. Ask any of us here if you need one-to-one advice about the range.

(1) The Aqua seal – UVB filter and moisturizing agents.
Protects against drying effect of sun as well as salt or chlorinated water. Applied by hand and left in until washed.
(2) Creme UV Defense Active – More suitable for colour treated or bleached hair. Also applied by hand and left in until washed.
(3) Brume Nuit Apres-Soleil – Leave in overnight after exposure to sun / a day at the beach. Restores firbre and soothes the scalp. Spray in from roots to ends.
(4) Creme Richesse – Nourishes sun-damaged hair with vitamin E and B5 (pantothenic acid). Applied by hand, left in for three minutes then washed out.
(5) Apres Soleil serum – A spray-in finishing treatment for sun-exposed hair. This is best suited to styling unruly, damaged hair and adds silk and shine.

SUNDAY OPENINGS
Some of you have said you’d much prefer to come in on Sundays. We ARE open on Sundays now. Just make sure to call or email to book IN ADVANCE with my stylist Audrey. TEL: 0207 240 9973

NEW CLIENTS – SUMMER HAIR CARE DEAL
Audrey is offering a summer colour / hair care consultation followed by a carefully recommended Kerastase treatment at the backwash and a blowdry all in for £35 this month. The whole process takes no longer than an hour. Just email or call to book and please quote this blog when you contact us.

PRESS MENTION – We’ve just won a new 5 star rating from the Good Salon Guide for the year 2010 / 2011. This month’s “Hairstyles Only” has published a full page review of the salon. I’ll post the link as soon as it goes live online.

DON’T FORGET OUR USUAL NEW CLIENT OFFERS – check for any fliers on the A-Board next time you walk past. REMEMBER if you’re a new client you receive 20% OFF on your second visit.
