The truth about Brazilian Blowout...

Recently I found a very disturbing article about the increasingly popular new service the Brazilian Blowout which claims to be formaldehyde free -- even going as far as claiming to be -hyde freee (which esentially means they do not use any cousins of formaldehyde either.)

We had been considering  adding this service here at Verde but with the recent findings by OSHA we will find other treatments. We do currently offer a botanical based Keratin Smoothing  traetment that last up to 3 months!!

Read the article about the Brazilian Blowout here.

New product!!

Kevin Murphy Powder Puff Volumising Powder Shake to create! Sprinkle onto damp or dry hair at the roots to create volume and texture.
To give yourself the bedroom look, you can just sprinkle a few taps of POWDER.PUFF onto the roots of your hair and ‘hey presto’ you have the bedroom look when you need it. POWDER.PUFF is also great for short hair. To create a messy casual volume, gently tap a few shakes on the hair that you want body on, and the powder morphs into a product that holds.

New Service at Verde!!

Glass-like shine and silky smooth hair is now just a few painless steps away....the Keratin Glazing Blowout!!! Not only does the Keratin Glazing service provide an outwardly healthy shine and sleek look, but it actually resurfaces the hair by coupling pure keratin protein with special silicones providing long-lasting shine, smoothness and protection. 

Only $15 plus cost of blow dry or haircut!!

Keratin Glazing Q & A

How is it different from the Brazilian Blowout?

Virtually all Brazilian straighteners and relaxers contain some form of formaldehyde, aldehyde or formalin. These are recognized carcinogens and pose a significant health risk to stylists and their clients, particularly when used with heat. The Keratin Glazing Service employs pure Keratin protein and other natural ingredients known to be safe and effective to resurface the hair for a lasting smooth finish.

Is it okay to use on all hair types?

The Keratin Glazing Service is suitable for all hair types and conditions. It will instantly resuscitate dry, damaged, or brittle hair and resurface hair that is rough or abraded. While Keratin Glazing provides added body and textural control, it is suitable to both fine and coarse hair types.

How long does it last on the hair?

Keratin Glazing instantly resurfaces the hair to a smooth and lustrous finish while special micro silicones seal pure keratin protein to the interior of the hair fiber to strengthen and add body. This effect will last up to 6 shampoos.

Shellac Nails Coming to Verde!!

The first hybrid nail system..

 

CND (Creative Nail Design), the leader in professional nail, hand and foot beauty, is proud to introduce the first hybrid nail color after nearly five years of development in its state-of-the-art laboratory. Now you can say goodbye to chips, smudges, and dry time and say hello to Shellac™ Hybrid Nail Color! This revolutionary product applies like polish, wears flawlessly for 14 days of high-gloss shine, and is removed in minutes. 

Shellac paints on like polish — base coat, color, top coat — and is cured in a UV light so there is zero dry time. The colors are hypoallergenic, and “3-Free” — no formaldehyde, toluene or DBP. Shellac will launch in a range of 12 varieties of shades, from pretty French pinks and whites, to siren red and rich darks. The formula is thin and flexible like polish, so it not only looks natural, it provides strong natural nail protection with a resilient mirror finish that resists dullness and chipping, even during the most rigorous activities. 

As amazing as Shellac is on, removal is just as satisfying! No soaking, drilling or filing is necessary. Nails are wrapped in individual Shellac Remover Wraps —integrated cotton pads that limit finger and skin exposure to acetone by keeping it pinpointed on just the nail. Ten minutes of time in exchange for two weeks of perfect color is all it takes. Say good-bye to manicure frustration and hello to pure manicure satisfaction.

The Art of the Shampoo

How often should you wash your hair? The famous question…
Well let me tell you. When it is dirty. Thats the simple old fashioned answer.
That may be once a week, twice a week, every other day and for VERY FEW everyday!
Today a shampoo however is so much more than just a simple cleanser, you can have one to add body, exfoliate, nourish or correct a special problem.
Today’s shampoo’s are not just about being the “sadie” for your locks, they are more about being beauty treatments for your hair.
Lusterless hair is an on going battle with our locks and we all LOVE LUSTER now days we have shampoo’s that are designed to do just that. Brilliant! There is a new favorite amongst this bunch and for me it is KEVIN.MURPHY’s HYDRATE-ME.WASH and HYDRATE-ME.RINSE! [see below]
For the actual shampoo routine below is a step-by-step guide to help your locks be as lush as possible!
1. Pre shampoo brushing to remove loose dust, tangles and tone up your circulation.
2. Wet hair-luke warm water is best for all shampoo’s
3. Exfoliate the follicle with your 1st shampoo [MAXI.WASH]
4. Cleanse the hair with 2nd shampoo [HYDRATE-ME.WASH]
5. Moisturize the hair with your rinse. [HYDRATE-ME.RINSE]
Now you are ready for the finale….. bring hair back from face and wrap it, TURBAN-style [HOT!] remove excess moisture and get STYLING!!
6. Apply your desired KM STYLING AID!
7. flick flick flick those lush locks about town!

New Products -- Minardi Smart Luxury -- coming March 1!!!

 

MINARDI LUXURY COLOR CARE COLLECTION
FINALLY ELEVEN PRODUCTS THAT MAKE A PROMISE... And Deliver On That Promise

“To offer salon professionals the finest collection of luxury color care products which will enable them to take back the retail business which has been lost to consumer retailing.”

BETH AND CARMINE MINARDI believe that the difference between ordinary hair color and extraordinary hair color is like the difference between polyester and cashmere.  And, they know how to make the difference.  The MINARDIS understand that unless the hair remains strong, hydrated and shiny, no hair color or hair style can look its best.  That's what MINARDI LUXURY COLOR CARE is all about.
MINARDI SMART LUXURY ^TM COLOR CARE..............  Because Not All Hair color is Created Equal
MINARDI SMART LUXURY ^TM  COLOR CARE is the first professional-only hair care collection based on the hair's color-specific needs.  While color fade is always a concern, the bigger issues include fortification, hydration and protection. 
Tested for two years at MINARDI SALON (one of the most demanding hair color salons in the world), each product in the collection pampers and protects color-treated hair by delivering a measured dose of protein and moisturizers specific to the type(s) of chemicals used to create a client's color. 
The eleven products in the collection contain the finest quality, most effective ingredients.  None of the vegan based ingredients were tested on animals.  MINARDI WASHES (shampoos), gently yet effectively cleanse the hair with a burst of gentle lather that rinses completely without stripping color.    MINARDI AFTER WASHES (conditioners) restore the hair's moisture and protein balance to an ideal state.  MINARDI PRE-WASH, an enitrely new conditioning treatment approach with numerous uses and retail applications.  MINARDI COLOR CARE STYLING PRODUCTS, specifically designed to minimize color loss, by utilizing naturally derived vegan starches in place of the overuse of co-polymers and/or harsh alcohols. All products protect against fade and boost color to its maximum brilliance.
 FOR HAIR TREATED WITH SEMI-PERMANENT or DEMI-PERMANENT HAIRCOLOR
