Starbucks Gift Card & Fall Hair - Yes Please!!!

In my humble opinion, September in Tucson is less than ideal (to put it mildly).  The seasons don't change like they might elsewhere and fall is nowhere to be seen and is most definitely not felt.  Wearing a sweater, sipping on a hot beverage, sporting boots, curling up by a fire, seeing my breath in the cool morning air seems far away in the unrelenting heat & mosquito-infested evenings.

I was joking with a friend that the only thing fall in Tucson right now is that Starbucks is serving Pumpkin Spice Lattes.  And you know what?  You can get your hair into fall too and just maybe, with what we are offering, it can feel like fall for a day.  You are welcome :-)  You may have to get your Starbucks iced but whatever....

Here's how it works:    

New clients - Book your appointment  for color in the month of September (the real idea is to go for a darker/deeper look, auburn, copper highlights, low-lights to justify my marketing strategy - you get the idea really but any color service is fine no matter the color) and mention the Starbucks promo and get a $10 Starbucks Gift Card!

Existing Clients - Refer a client for the above and be sure they mention your name and you and your referral  each receive a $5 Starbucks Gift Card.  Feel free to refer away!  This is valid for an unlimited amount of referrals through the end of September.

*RULES:  One gift card per transaction.  Not valid for cash and cannot be replaced.  Gift card will be given at the end of appointment.  Appointment must be booked in advance - walk-ins not valid with this promo.  Valid with select stylists.  Cannot guarantee a fall experience but let's hope so!  Offer expires 9/28/13

Teal Toes ~ September: Ovarian Cancer Awareness

It's that time again - time to bring Ovarian Cancer to the forefront through Teal Toes and here's how:

If you choose TEAL polish during the month of September at Images SalonSpa for your pedicure, you will receive $5 off your pedicure (typically $40 - Teal Toes price $35).  The goal is to shed light on this particular type of cancer.  We will have info on Ovarian Cancer and if anybody asks you about your toes or the color, this is your opportunity to educate others on the symptoms of Ovarian Cancer.  It's all about passing the invaluable information along and you never know if just by receiving a pedicure, deciding to go teal, and reading a few bullet points of info about this silent killer......you might be saving a life!

Here are the symptoms if you don't decide to participate in Teal Toes from the Teal Toes website:

Historically ovarian cancer was called the “silent killer” because symptoms were not thought to develop until the chance of cure was poor. However, recent studies have shown this term is untrue and that the following symptoms are much more likely to occur in women with ovarian cancer than women in the general population. These symptoms include:

• Bloating
• Pelvic or abdominal pain
• Difficulty eating or feeling full quickly
• Urinary symptoms (urgency or frequency)

Women with ovarian cancer report that symptoms are persistent and represent a change from normal for their bodies. The frequency and/or number of such symptoms are key factors in the diagnosis of ovarian cancer. Several studies show that even early stage ovarian cancer can produce these symptoms.

Women who have these symptoms almost daily for more than a few weeks should see their doctor, preferably a gynecologist. Prompt medical evaluation may lead to detection at the earliest possible stage of the disease. Early stage diagnosis is associated with an improved prognosis.

 We look forward to seeing you and here's to good health and wellness :-)

A Few of Our Favorite Things.....

We at Images LOVE the products we work with and sell.  There are quite a few products out there that are just 'eh' but some things just rock our world and here are a few of our favorites.....

1.  Moroccanoil - It's amazing.  It's gives your hair life, shine, smoothness and sass.  Yes, sass.  The smell - mmmmm, the smell.  I like to refer to it as intoxicating; because it is.  You can add it to your hair wet before you style or dry, but I prefer wet.  It won't weigh your hair down and it works wonders (comes in a light version for blondes too).  A product I can't and won't live without!

2.  Neuma Styling Gelee - It's a crowd pleaser that our male and female clients love!  A weightless gel that gives you flexible hold, volume, protects color and smooths out your hair.  Also acts as a heat protector and detangler: a true all-in-one!

3.  Eminence Organics Tropical Vanilla Face Cream SPF 32 - There are a few things that I look for in a day time moisturizer:  It needs to be moisturizing but not oily or overly hydrating, it has to have an SPF, the scent can't irritate me, it can't have parabens or mineral oils and it needs to make my skin feel fabulous.  Mission Accomplished!  AND it smells (gasp) like tropical vanilla - heavenly :)

4.  Moroccanoil Volumizing Mousse - You want that hair; the hair that has just the right amount of body and it wouldn't it be nice if it could last throughout the day?  We have the product for you!  This stuff is amazing and it isn't your mom's mousse.  Great to style with a round brush when you want added lift and body.

5.  Neuma Smoothing Creme - It's this time of year when I love this product most.  I highlight my hair every spring and summer - highlighting, blow drying and flat-ironing leads to fly-aways......lots of them.  This product saves me.  Great for taming the frizzies too when you want to wash and go.  I would also like to mention that it smells like a creamsicle - derived from natural essential oils :)

Neuma ~ Amazing Hair

Have you ever used a product and thought WOW - I love this stuff, sign me up, gotta have it.  Well, when our rep first gave our salon samples of Neuma hair products, that is exactly how I felt.  It was the middle of summer, Tucson had already reached 100+ degrees and the monsoons were kicking up.  As we all know, heat and humidity do not make for a beautiful head of hair......except if you have Neuma in your beauty arsenal!  I used the neuMoisture shampoo and conditioner, argan oil, blowdry lotion and smoothing creme.  This is what Neuma refers to as cocktailing hair products and no, it does not weigh your hair down at all and as insignificant as it is in the grand scheme of things, my hair smelled great but better yet it had never looked and felt more fabulous.  Ever!  My hair was smooth (I have highlights and my hair is on the dry side, prone to fly-aways), soft and it had body.  The best thing for me?  I had that same head of hair on day two without washing & styling it again.  SOLD!  The stuff is awesome and it gets better....

Not only is Neuma great for your hair - it's wonderful for the environment and you.  It is a vegan and organic line that believes in and practices sustainability.  You will not find any synthetic fragrances, sulfates, parabens, glutens, aluminum compounds, neurotoxins, formaldehyde donors, or carcinogens to name a few.  Any fragrances you smell will be compliments of essential oils.  Neuma's hair care adds longevity to your color through plant-derived surfactant system by preventing colour oxidation.  Neuma has complete ingredient disclosure on all products and the formulas used are vegan.  Practically needless to say, there is no testing on animals.  Environmental consciousness is of utmost concern; 90% post consumer recycled HDPE bottles are used and they maintain a paperless operation whenever possible (I have exchanged emails with their corporate office and this is what it said at the footer:  "Please consider the environment before printing this email, because everything matters, thanks and MAKE it a wonderful day")

So it's obvious that I love this product line but I promise you it is not just me.  Our clients adore it.  We had a client that tried it at our suggestion and a few weeks later, she was driving by Images and was compelled to stop by and tell us how thankful she is to us for suggesting Neuma.  She told us she has never liked her hair until now.  I kid you not.  The stuff is that good.  

My two cents on a fantastic product that has done wonders for my hair and countless others.  I suggest it to our clients, my family and friends - if you haven't already tried it, do your hair a favor.
