Hair Color + Style

There has been an upward trend in the demand for hair products that are more natural, healthy, and free of harsh toxins and chemicals. If you want the benefits of natural hair care without breaking the bank, so to speak, there are a variety of essential oils that have been proven to promote hair growth and repair. These are safe, simple to use, and very effective. However, there are thousands of essential oils out there, so picking the best oils for your hair can get confusing. Below, I’ll teach you how to create DIY hair treatments with the 5 most...

In Massachusetts Governor Baker gave the green light for salons to open and my brain kicked into high gear.  As much as staying home was really miserable, I felt a protected in my cocoon - now what?  As the rules & regulations rolled out many stylists, like myself, became so confused - wear goggles, change smocks after every client, temperature checks to name a few.  Stylists banned  together via online forums to make some sense of the new rules to reopen, which definitely helped and created a sense of community.  No one wants to be sick or spread Covid and...

As a salon owner, trying to do the right thing by listening to Governor Baker's phased approach opening, I can't help but wonder if our clients will wait for us.  It appears that we will not open in phase 1 or possibly phase 2 (The Cautious Stage).  I have been juggling our clients appointments since March, and they have been very patient and understanding.  As May approached, many said our closure was ridiculous and they were coloring their own hair!  Many of our hair extension clients removed them, and worst of all our hair loss clients are suffering.

The beauty industry has been decimated due to the Covid-19 pandemic, and we have not worked for over a month.  So what will our "new normal" look like once we are allowed to reopen?  It is impossible to keep a 6-foot distance from our clients and we want to know what our individual states will impose in order to keep ourselves & clients healthy.  Listening to the news, we seem to be the forgotten industry!  So much hype has been given to restaurants and the entertainment industry, but I can tell you our clients are becoming desperate and want their...

We had an opportunity to interview renowned psychic Ellen Damsky on Zoom for our Hair Matters Podcast regarding the Covid-19 Pandemic. Ellen had some stellar predictions on our podcast in August of 2019 for the year 2020, one such being a worldwide shake-up & a "major downturn" to the world economy!  We asked her questions about the world as we know it and below are some highlights. When will the pandemic be over? Ellen's spiritual connections are telling her 3 - she is assuming 3 weeks for a peak & decline in the northeast and warns against opening the country...

We are trapped with roots,  our gray sparkles are coming in and the salons are closed due to the Covid-19 pandemic  and we want our beautiful blonde hair and/or highlights/balayage.  Believe me I understand, and my clients are reaching out asking how to color their hair at home.  Online hair color sites like Madison Reed are touting that you can bleach your hair at home, or watching a youtube video make it appear easy, but it is not.   You may have luck with a one process color, maybe if you are staying within the same level of color.  You may...
