Pravana Perfection Smoothout – The Frizz Solution

September 2nd, 2011

Being a hairstylist opens a lot of doors that would normally be locked to most, but battling frizz is a door I’ve never been able to keep unlocked for long. When I say long, what I mean is until the moment my hair gets wet, whether it be from showering or from the daily drizzle we know here in Seattle as rain! You can imagine my ongoing frustration, especially if you dislike your frizz as much as I dislike mine.

I have two words for you…Pravana Perfection.

PP, as I lovingly call it, completely gets rid of my frizz and reduces my tight ethnic curls to the beautiful looser curls I’ve always wanted. Now, understand, I have been straightening my hair for as long as I’ve been able to hold a blow dryer, and I still love wearing it straightened sometimes. However, I want the option to wear my natural curl as well, without looking like a total frizz ball, and what PP offers me is the ability to do just that! It won’t leave your hair stick straight or lifeless. It just smooths the surface hairs that can be more unruly and whatever your starting texture is (ultra-curly like me, or slightly wavy), it will reduce slightly to make the hair shinier, more manageable, and faster to dry and style. The other amazing (and maybe my favorite) thing about Pravana Perfection is the fact that there are no harsh chemicals and truly, sincerely (I promise!) NO formaldehyde in the product, nor is any emitted during or after the application process. Instead of breaking your hair down with chemicals, PP uses amino acids to smooth out the “S” pattern in the hair, by slightly stretching the hair’s natural bonds, rather than breaking them entirely (think traditional relaxers and Japanese straighteners). What I love about the treatment is how versatile it is and how many different hair types it’s good for. Over-processed hair suddenly looks shiny and healthy. Curly hair is still curly, but loses its poof factor! Blow drying time is cut in half, and minimal flat ironing is required if you still want totally straight hair. Many of my clients can give up the flat iron all together, and get the sleek look with just a blow dryer and a paddle brush. If your hair is really curly like mine, this treatment will give you the looser waves you’ve always dreamed of.

Now the big question…How much does this miracle treatment cost???
The Perfection service runs $250 which my seem steep, especially in this economy, but the treatment last anywhere from 2-4 months depending on hair growth and home maintenance. If your going to spend your hard earned money on such an amazing treatment…I beg you please spend that little bit of extra money to take care of your hair at home! Pravana makes a uniquely formulated smoothing shampoo and conditioner designed to help prolong the life of your treatment as long as possible, and the shampoo/conditioner combo retails for only $40.

The one common misconception clients have about Perfection is that it straightens the hair. It WILL NOT, I repeat WILL NOT permanently straighten the hair. What it will do is eliminate frizz, make the hair super shiny, cut your styling time in half, and make you happier with your hair than you maybe have been all your life…at least that’s what it did for me!

If you want the key to unlocking the door to health, happy, frizz-free hair, come to Pinup Salon and we’ll make you a copy! :-D

Mollies Wants You To Try Her Styling Tricks At Home!

August 22nd, 2011

Do you have long hair and some serious hair envy of celebrities with their long cascading curls? Well you can look that fabulous day-to-day as well! Here are the essential tools you will need:

* Round Brush. The size of the round brush will differ with your preference. If you have hair shoulder length or longer and want large soft curls I suggest getting a brush about 1 ½ inches in diameter. The bigger the brush the less rotations the curl will have and you’ll get a larger softer curl or wave. In the salon and at home I use a Ceramic Ionic round brush. What that means is that as I’m using my hairdryer with my brush, the core of the brush will heat up while the nylon bristles grab the hair to smooth it around the warm core, working similar to a curling iron but smoothing and brushing the hair at the same time. The brushes I use are by Olivia Garden and can be picked up at your local beauty supply!

* Hairdryer. Easy enough! If you have a hairdryer with a concentrator (that little triangular nozzle that goes on the end) even better. The concentrator will help blow the air in one direction for more control and smoothness vs. not having a nozzle on your hairdryer and the air coming out of a bigger area, which could create some unwanted frizz.

So those are your main styling tools, but products are what will really help things stay in place while styling. If you have hair that needs a little volume I suggest LOMA Pearatin Maximum Volumizing Solution. I really love this product in that it delivers the extra volume without making your hair feel sticky or tacky. While your hair is still damp (towel dried) use a quarter size amount of the solution and after emulsifying in your hands, distribute the product primarily on the root area of your hair, as this is where getting lift and volume is the most effective! If your hair is feeling a little on the dry side, or could use a little extra help with frizz, you can put a nickel-sized amount of the LOMA Pearatin Nourishing Oil from mid-strand to ends.

Now you can use a flat paddle brush to dry your hair about 80%, lifting the hair at the root while drying to gain volume (you can also dry your hair upside down without a brush if you prefer!). When the hair is about 80% dry, you can part your hair into three sections, from the top of the ear down, the middle, and from the round of the head up (you can make smaller sections if you have thicker hair!). Starting from the bottom section, take a smaller parting about as wide as your brush, and wrap the hair around the brush curling the hair away from the face, and rolling the brush as you dry. With your hairdryer try to aim the air to go down the brush with the hair vs. directly into the brush, this will be more gentle on your hair and help eliminate frizz. After that section is dry I like to let the piece just hang in place but in a curl. You can do this by twirling the brush as you let the hair out, though if you’re afraid of getting your hair stuck in the brush you can just let the hair out, and reform a curl with your fingers. Another way to let the curls cool is by rolling them into a large curl and pinning it close to the scalp. This will be more effective if your hair doesn’t hold a curl quite as easily.

Another option for those who have trouble wielding the brush and hairdryer together is a set of hot rollers or a large barrel curling iron. With the hot rollers you will follow all the same steps as the round brush but dry your hair 100% with your paddle brush first. Try to blowout your hair as smooth as you can before using the rollers as they won’t smooth your hair as much as the round brush. Size is important with the hot rollers, like with the brush if you get bigger rollers you’ll get a softer curl. With the hot rollers you can put your hair into three sections, taking smaller partings the width of your roller. If you want a little extra hold you can lightly spray each section with hairspray (I like the Pravana spray), and brush through before wrapping the hair. Wrap the hair away from the face vertically on the roller (they’ll become horizontal on the top of the head). Most hot rollers will have one roller with a circle in the center that changes color letting you know when it’s hot and when it’s cooled down and you can let your hair down.

If you prefer a curling iron over a brush or hot rollers, then I suggest following the same steps to dry the hair as the hot rollers and using a hairspray before you curl each section. With the curling iron you will curl vertically and away from the face as with the hot rollers, and then just let each curl hang loosely to cool.

After you’ve got your hair set using either a round brush, hot rollers, or a curling iron you can now either lightly shake up the curls with your fingers, or brush them smooth and reform the curls with your fingers. My favorite products to smooth out the final look is either a light spray of the Tri brite lites shine spray on the hair, or using some more of the LOMA Pearatin Nourishing Oil through the ends to soften and ensure no frizz.

And there you have it! Three different ways to achieve a soft and shiny and volumous blowout style!
If you’re more of a hands-on learner, come see any of us at Pinup and we can demo for you in person. :)

Get the Long, Full, Luxurious Hair You’ve Always Wanted!

August 15th, 2011

Pinup Salon is thrilled to have added keratin bonded hair extensions to our already robust menu of services. We are even more thrilled to have on our team the talented and experienced Lindsey Brown, who is a certified specialist for both Hair Dreams and Great Lengths brand extensions, the highest quality hair available  on the market today. Come see Lindsey for a free consultation to discuss how she can help you get the hair you’ve always wanted!

Hair extensions are a great way to change your style, increase volume, and lengthen your look. We specialize in 100% natural human hair extensions by Great Lengths and Hair Dreams, both offering hair that is virtually indistinguishable from your natural hair. In only a few hours, we can make your hair’s length, volume and almost any desired hair style possible. During your consultation we will find an exact match to your natural hair, or if you always wanted that perfect blonde, or rockin’ red, we can also provide precise color matching to our color line so that you can know that your hair will look flawless from roots to ends. Extensions can also be a great way to add some natural looking highlights to your hair, without the fear of chemical damage. Men and women who have ultra fine or even thinning hair will also find our bonding method to be the most invisible option for filling in any frustratingly flat or thinning areas.

How Do Our Hair Extensions Work?

Your selected and perfectly color matched hair extensions are delivered to us in very fine strands. These strands
have a connection tip, also called a “bond”, at the top. This keratin bond gently connects the extension strands to your own hair close to the root. The bonds are warmed up and thus softened, at which point they are closed around your own and the new hair.
This process is repeated strand by strand, until the hairstyle of your dreams is perfect.

Will Extensions Damage My Hair?

Our extensions by Great Lengths and Hair Dreams use an all natural keratin bond, which is the same protein that our hair is made of. We do not utilize waxes or glues, which can damage and break off the natural hair to which you have bonded your extensions. Using the keratin bonding method, your extensions will last longer and the bond won’t damage your hair in any way, presuming you have them put in properly and removed properly, but a professional expert. The keratin bonds are also matched to the color of hair you’ve selected, so you will have the most flawless look, and be using the healthiest method of bonding for your hair.

How Much Maintenance Is Required Once I Have My Extensions?

Most clients will find it most economical to schedule maintenance of their extensions about every 7-8 weeks. This way you can keep your hair looking consistently flawless, while not having your entire head of extensions taken out and replaced all at one time. Your stylist will go through each individual bonded extension to see which ones are in need of replacement, and will gently, without damaging your hair, remove the old extension and replace it with a fresh one. They will do this row by row until all extensions have been examined and replaced as needed. Typically about 25% of the extensions will be rotated out during each maintenance appointment, so roughly after about 6-8 months you’ll have received all new extensions throughout your entire head.

Ok, So How Much?

Because our extensions are the highest quality hair available on the market, the cost of the hair itself ranges from $50-110 per bundle and most clients will require 1-3, sometimes up to 4 bundles of hair, depending upon their own hair’s density, as well as their personal goals for how much fullness and length they wish to add. We do not markup the cost of the hair, so what we pay is what you get charged. 

For our time putting the extensions in, instead of charging by the hour like most salons do, we charge a flat rate of $250 per bundle of hair. This way, you can sit back and enjoy your service, rather than watching the clock tick and hearing the cash register ringing in your ear with every minute that passes. When you see us for your free consultation, Lindsey will outline exactly what she recommends for your hair, based on your personal goals (whether it be length, fullness, highlights, etc.), and before even booking your appointment with us, will let you know exactly what your extensions will cost, so that there is no confusion about what you’ll be receiving, and at what rate. We do require a non-refundable deposit for the purchase of your hair, and also have a 48 hour cancellation policy for all extensions appointments, since some appointments a=can take as long as 6-8 hours.

Great! Where Do I Sign Up!?

Lindsey is available for free 30 minute consultations on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Saturdays at our West Seattle location. You need only call us at 206.932.5077 or email bookme@pinupsalon.biz to schedule a time to see her. If you’re new to our salon, mention this blog and receive 20% off any cut and color services with Lindsey as well!

Here are just a few great success stories, from the Hair Dreams website. www.hairdreams.com

 

Inge suffered from serious hair loss. Her biggest dream
was to have full, thick and strong her again. This dream
has come true with the Hairdreams MicroLines System.
No more thin hair, no more visible scalp, no more perms
and time-consuming teasing of the hair. Inge has full,
strong and healthy hair again. She can style her hair as
she likes: straight one day and curly the next…
Quote: “I haven’t been this happy and full of life in a long
time. I feel attractive and much younger!”

 

Zuzana has very fine hair, and her ends are damaged from
chemical treatments and frequent heat-styling with blow-dryer
and flat iron. Her thin and damaged lengths and ends have been
thickened with with Hairdreams strands. The Hairdreams HighLines
was added on top of her head, giving her luscious volume and gorgeous,
healthy and shiny hair.

 

Tanja’s shoulder length hair became dazzling extra-long tresses
with Hairdreams 45 cm strands.

Beautiful hair extensions are also possible with shorter lengths;
for example by using 30cm hair, which will reach about 10cm over
the shoulders.

Save yourself money, time, cleaning, and sanity. Put the box dye down!!!

April 4th, 2011

We know how it is. You’re home alone late on a Friday night and you get this craving to change your look. You venture out to the nearest drug store and scope out the endless boxes of home hair dye kits…so pretty, so alluring, so cheap! I mean they have names like Chestnut Brown and Honey Blonde, and at only $14.99 plus tax, that’s way less than going to the salon!. You’ve always wanted hair the color of chestnuts…how can this be wrong?

Now it’s 11:30pm and you’re rinsing out the color in what is no doubt a messy bathroom at this point, only to find that the color “chestnut” feels more like the color Marilyn Manson. Ack! You weren’t going for the goth look, BUT in your calm and exhausted state, you wonder if maybe you sleep on it, you’ll like it better in the morning. Besides, it’s just hair color – it will fade out, right?

Enter Saturday morning:

You wake up from a wonderful dream about you and (insert hot male movie star here) stranded on a deserted island. You put on a pot of tea/coffee and wander blissfully to the bathroom for your lazy Saturday morning routine. WHAT THE HECK! Why is my bathroom covered in greasy hand prints?! Was a mechanic washing up in here after fixing my car? Wait…you look into the mirror and only NOW remember with horror your mistake from the night before, and after having slept on it, and seeing yourself in the clear light of day, you realize there is NO way you can go to work like this on Monday. Thankfully it’s the weekend, and you have 2 whole days to fix this fiasco. It will be okay.

Certainly, anyone with any wisdom would have learned their lesson and called a professional at this point, but you’re independent and resourceful. It’s just hair color…you can fix this on your own, and still save yourself some money!

You decide that the drug store brands of color are the problem, so you venture to your nearest Sally’s Beauty Supply to get “professional” products and guidance from the staff there. These women sell these products all day, so they must know what I will need to do to fix the problem (Buyer beware – most of Sally’s staff are NOT trained or licensed cosmetologists). You explain that you wanted a pretty chestnut brown, and the box said chestnut, but look at this hair! It’s nearly jet black! The woman understands and nods her head. She suggests using bleach to get the dark out, and recommends using a 20 volume developer. “Huh? What’s 20 volume? Is the bleach going to sing to me? Whatever,  just sell me the products”, you think to yourself. You want to get this over with before your friends call and want to hit the town tonight. Bleach, developer, color bowl, brush – check! OK, $30.97 and a messy reddish orange head of hair later…WHAT THE!!!?, WHAT HAVE I DONE NOW???

Enter Sunday morning:

Pinup: Thanks for calling Pinup Salon. This is Jen, how can I help you?

Client: I’d like to make an appointment to get my hair colored?

Pinup: Ok – what day would you like to come in?

Client: As soon as possible (panicked sounding).

Pinup: We have availability tomorrow at 4pm. Would that work for you?

Client: How much is it going to cost?

Pinup: Are we doing all over color or a foil application?

Client: (Insert word vomit about the weekend’s fiasco and how the hair is now dark reddish brown on the ends, but orange at the roots, and all she wanted was CHESTNUT BROWN!)

Pinup: Oh my gosh, you poor thing! Hair color involves a lot of complex chemistry and unfortunately those box dyes, being a one-size-fits-all approach can cause people a lot of problems. I’m so very sorry you’ve been through all that. (sincere, empathetic frown)

What you’re going to need at this point is a color correction, because we will need to extract the dark color you initially applied to the hair, and sometimes it can take more than once to get all the pigment out, depending on how dark it is and how many times you’ve applied that color. Since you just did it, I hope we’ll be able to extract the color in one attempt. After extraction of those pigments, we’ll need to apply a couple of formulas to deposit properly over the multiple colors you have in your hair now. It sounds like the roots being so orange will still pull really warm, so we’ll want to counteract that for sure to achieve the true chestnut color you had originally wanted. Our color corrections are at a rate of $75 per hour, and I would guess your process will take about 2-2.5 hours, not having seen the hair obviously, but since you’ve only colored it dark the one time, I think this should be enough time.

Client: Your website says color starts at $65.

Pinup: Yes, this is true. Had you called us before all of this and booked an appointment for just a regular color application, it would have been $65, but we have to now add 2-3 additional steps to achieve the color you want, and keep your hair from falling off your head. Our main priority is to maintain your hair’s integrity and it’s been through a LOT in the past couple of days.

Some color corrections can take 3-4 hours, but based on our conversation, I highly doubt yours will be that long. I can also happily have you stop in today for a brief, free consultation so I can see your hair first hand and better prepare you for what we might need to do tomorrow.

Client: Well, I already spent almost $50 coloring it and trying to fix it myself, and now I’ll have to spend another $150-250 to get it fixed?

Pinup: I’m afraid so. I understand it’s a lot of money, but unfortunately color isn’t as simple as it seems and once you’ve deposited a dark color on your hair, there is no easy way to just make it evaporate, or to simply color over it lighter. The chemistry of hair and artificial hair color just don’t work that way, unfortunately. Light colors don’t remove dark colors, and bleaching can work, but is very harsh on the hair, and as you found out the hard way, can create a very uneven color outcome if not applied and processed properly.

Client: Well, I can’t go to work like this tomorrow, so I guess I’ll try to find a place that can fit me in today.

Pinup: I understand. If we get any openings today, I’ll give you a call. I’m sorry we can’t fit you in sooner, but I do hope you’re able to get it fixed. If you’re not able to find another salon with openings today, since it is Sunday and most salons are closed, please do give us a call and I’ll put you down for our opening tomorrow. Perhaps you can get away with wearing a hat to work tomorrow, for just the one day?

Client: Maybe. I’ll call you later if I can’t find another place with time today. Thanks for your time and I will NEVER make the mistake of coloring my own hair again.

Pinup: I’m so sorry again for all you’ve been through. I hope we’ll get to help you out tomorrow. Just let us know. Good luck!

Enter the moral of the story:

Drug store hair color: $14.99 + tax
Soft Scrub with Bleach: $4.99 + tax (remember the bathroom you need to clean?)
Sally’s corrective hair products and tools: $30.97
Gasoline to get to and from the nearest Sally’s: $1.95
Total Cash Out of Pocket Cost of Do-It-Yourself Hair Color: $54.80
Total Cost of Salon Color Correction: $120-$300

ONE relaxing visit to Pinup Salon and leaving with the amazing feeling of perfect hair color: Priceless

$30 for 30 Minutes Dry Styling

December 12th, 2010

Now that you have invested in a some dust it for the holiday season, it is only fair that we show you some ways to make sure that your dust it sees some action!  There are plenty of lovely looks for each and everyone this holiday season – each eloquent and dazzling in their own right.  And with our darling deal of December – $30 for 30 minutes of styling – we can surely help you out with making your holiday updo dreams come to fruition; that is, as long as you supply the freshly washed hair.

The first classic holiday updo is the Chignon and the signature bun – a wonderfully slimming style for rounder faces, especially when coupled with a little extra volume at the crown, which we can do with the help of some Dust It!  The classic bun can even be given a little extra pizzaz by braiding the hair.

The classic french twist is another lovely way to go, and darn versatile, too.  It can flatter all face types as the volume is adjustable.  The look is classic, but can be freshened up with your own little additions of decorations or flowers – how about a small poinsettia for a holiday party? – or with volume variations.

Loose waves are always a great option for a classy and easy holiday style.  Equally as versatile as the french twist, loose waves can complement any face shape and always maintain a timeless appeal.

Spiral curls are also a lovely way to have beautifully stunning hair for your holiday gathering.  Timeless, classy and gorgeous – a few spirals can go a long way and make your hair the talk of the party.

Each of these looks can be made your own with a little work, and each can be complementing for your face type.  But no worries, we can make sure you have some lovely holiday hair that will make your fellow guests jealous.  Just give us a call.  After all – $30 for 30 minutes of styling is a darn good deal.

Like Magic Fairy Dust For Your Hair!

December 6th, 2010

It is December, and the smells of cinnamon, pine and baked goods won’t be the only things up in the air – so will your hair. In the season where more evenings will be spent at gatherings than anything else, it is important to be up-do ready. That is where this lovely little product comes in handy; Schwarzkopf’s Dust It will always make your hair prime for gravity defying styles. Dust It is a lightweight, mattifying powder – adding texture and volume to the thickest or thinnest heads of hair.

And even when the stress has you, and your hair, down – simply run your fingers back through your hair and you have refreshed volume, ready to look glamorous. Oily hair? No problem. The lightweight powder will help out by absorbing some of that excess oil.

What else could make the product more appealing? The fact that it is our product of the month, making it 25% off until the end of the year! So stop sweating how you’re going to look fabulous at all your holiday soirees (though even if you did break a sweat, Dust It would still stay strong) and come see Dust It in action for yourself.

Pinup Salon in Ravenna Opening April 13, 2010!

March 25th, 2010

In the words of Truvy, from Steel Magnolias…
“I’m a chain!”

It’s true, Pinup Salon is expanding, and opening location #2. We’ve found that as much as we do love the westside, we just aren’t able to reach all the people who crave what we love to give…a down-home, genuine and personalized approach to hair care. We miss the days when hair stylists were like your best friend, the person you could tell anything to. We love clients who really care about establishing a great relationship with their hair stylist, to ensure that the look we give you fits your lifestyle, personality and the life changes that are sure to come. You may be someone who wants to change your image every month or two, or you may have had, and been happy with the same style for the past 15 years. Whatever you fancy, we can give it to you, without the side of hype, so many salons these days serve as a sidedish.

We pride ourselves on being real, and being grounded. This is not a salon environment where we have booming DJ’s you have to scream over, or where you have to get all dressed up for your appointment just to feel like you’ll fit in. We ARE a salon low in pretension, but high in skills, reliability, and truly personalized care. Just think of us as the best blend of a high end, modern, full-service salon, and the most charming little small town beauty parlor you ever saw.

In the words of Shelby, from Steel Magnolias…
“Daddy always says, an ounce of pretension is worth a pound of manure.”

We hope we’ll see you soon!

xoxo
