We had the most wonderful surprise the other day! One of our clients, Terri Kizner of Charlottesville Chiropractic and Sports Medicine, brought a beautiful sheet cake as a thank you to us for giving her the most wonderful experience ever! Look at the cake! Angie is the stylist that did the work on her. We all enjoyed the cake and shared it with our clients. It was made by the most darling little bakery called Short and Sweet Bakery in Waynesboro (www.shortandsweetbakery.com). Yum!!

I am always on the look out for great products, as you well know. In my constant quest to make sure anything I use in my salon is safe and effective I began to hear rumblings about keratin smoothing treatments. It turns out the one I was using had some harsh components in it. So I set about looking for an effective, yet gentle replacement. I found one.

It is from Bio-Ionic and is called KeraSmooth. Bio Ionic is a great alternative to the The Brazilian Blow Out. It has no Ether, Formaldehyde Or Aldehyde. It uses Keratin, Henna and Perm solution to temporarily relax the curl.

It is shampoo'd from the hair the same day, blown out and flat ironed after the shampoo. Usually takes one hour to do on the average head of hair!!!

The curl is a more relaxed less frizzy curl and your hair will be much easier to blow out with lots of shine.

The lack of those strong chemicals make it a much better choice for smoothing the hair. You have to realize that to alter the hair structure you MUST use something that has some kick to it. I am just trying to make sure to use the least destructive product to protect the hair and all who are exposed to it.
