We recommend that many of our color and non-color clients use a product line called Pureology. While Pureology labels itself as a product for “Serious Colour Care,” it’s really serious all-around care.

For example, they carry 10 systems for the majority of hair-care needs. If hair is damaged, dry, flat or fading, Pureology has a shampoo or conditioner to fix the problem. If hair needs finish, support or texture, Pureology has a product to help.

And since our clients are becoming more and more concerned about their environmental impact, we are recommending this product for the benefits it offers to both the environment and hair. Through product development and packaging, Pureology is a 100-percent vegan product offering –

- Products that are enriched with Organic Botanicals cultivated without the use of harmful pesticides.
- Concentrated formulas that last longer than other shampoos, which minimizes the amount of plastic bottles being produced.
- Packaging that uses up to 25-percent of post-consumer recycled plastic, which in turn reduces the amount of waste in our landfills.

Also, according to Pureology’s research, Pureology shampoo and conditioner costs only $.33 cents per application – so if a person washes their hair at least six times a week for four weeks that’s a $7.92 investment. Both Pureology and Omaha’s Hair Choice back these products and the investment, so a 100-percent satisfaction guarantee is in place for everything our clients purchase.

We hope all our clients start taking their hair care seriously and look forward to sharing our Pureology products.

1. Accessorize cute summer sandals

Whether it’s flip flops, peep toes sandals or a little strappy number, let’s face it – the condition of a woman’s toes matter. Nothing is worse than a cute pair of open-toed shoes being over shadowed by cracked heals and chipped nail polish. The color and condition of polish and nails is a way to accessorize any summer shoe; and with the extensive polish selection offered at salons, anyone is bound to find that perfect accent to any look.

2. Pampering

Women spend more time taking care of other people than they do themselves – it’s just a fact of life. They’re daughters, mothers, sisters and wives who put others first and deserve some time devoted to their own pampering. There is something about sitting in a big, comfy massage chair, soaking your feet in warm, scented water while reading a favorite book, napping or chatting with a friendly nail technician.

3. Confidence

So while women are often busy taking care of life’s craziness, they can often put things like confidence on the back burner. And while some people tell women they don’t have to look good to feel good – this is most certainly not true for many women. Even something as small as a pedicure can change the way women feel about themselves – and give them more confidence.

4. Save time and money

Being in this current state of economic downtown, more and more people are opting out of huge purchases or large financial commitments. Many women cannot afford an entire spa day or a vacation to Hawaii, but CAN afford a pedicure. Nail polish colors will also become repetitive, and after $5 here and $5 there, women create a collection of colors they don’t want to use more than four times. A salon pedicure offers a wide array of colors and eliminates the need to buy a new color every two weeks.

Time is also a valuable resource and women can probably spend time once a week painting their toe nails (that’s if it doesn’t chip the next day). But, with quality products, a pedicure could last weeks, justifying the money and time saved by spending an hour being pampered to pieces.

5. Quality time

While a pedicure can be enjoyed alone, many women like to use a pedicure as quality girlfriend time. Whether with a best friend, sister or mother, there is nothing like a relaxing pedicure to bring out laughter and togetherness.

One of our newer products at Omaha’s Hair Choice – Moroccanoil – is giving women the ability to fight humidity and achieve an exotic, sleek look that isn’t caused by grease and oil. Moroccanoil has the unique quality of instant absorption into hair, creating an instant shine without leaving an oily residue.

This product uses Argan oil, traditionally used by women in Morocco to protect hair and nails from the hot climate and fight aging. This oil contains unsaturated fatty acids rich in tocopherols – like Vitamin E – and naturally renews cell structure to rejuvenate shine and protect hair.

Moroccanoil Light also offers the same shine and smooth result, but is a lighter consistency for fine and fair-colored hair. It improves elasticity, moisturizes hair from root to tip without feeling greasy and protects against harmful environmental stressors.

The amount of product women use is dependent upon how much hair they have. On average, only a nickel or dime-sized drop should be enough and any extra can be applied to your face or fingernails – as the Moroccan women have done for centuries.

The traditional methods, combined with more contemporary technology, bring new opportunities to stylists and women who just want to accomplish a new look for summer. So tame your frizz, control the oil and protect your hair this summer – you don’t want to be stuck with dull hair in this tropical weather.
