Two of the recent graduates, Kayla from Oklahoma and LaKeisha from Texas, will be visiting northern Nevada and learning from Salon 2000, and the salon is inviting the community to meet them at a hair conditioning class. Customers will be treated to a “conditioning cocktail” tailored to each person’s specific hair type. Appointments are for one to one-and-a-half hours and will be scheduled on a first-come, first-served basis. Appointments may be made by calling 775-351-2222.

Countless competing labels and ads for problem skin products vie for the attention of teens and young adults. Dermalogica, a name known for advanced skin care and preferred by thousands of aestheticians, is receiving real results with its new Clean Start system, specifically designed to meet the special needs of young adults. 

Known in the industry for its stringent standards, clinical research and 25 years of expertise in professional skin care has, Dermalogica guarantees Clean Start products are the purest available. Young people can be assured these products are free of artificial fragrances and color, mineral oil, alcohol, comedogenic (pore-clogging) and allergy-causing ingredients.

Clean Start products were developed to fill the need for high-quality products that effectively address the skin issues of teens and young adults.  While many choices are available and highly promoted for these groups, the products tend to use harsh, inexpensive ingredients that strip the skin of its natural oils as well as contain low-quality fillers.

Clean Start offers quality without the hype of mass-market youth skin products.  These new products have been tested extensively with a teens who shared what worked on their own faces.

In a time-crunched era, it can be a challenge for any of us to stop long enough for a full facial treatment – even if we know that we need and deserve it.  We may realize how important professional quality skin treatments are to maintaining optimum skin health but also may be distracted by life’s time pressures.

Modern problems inspire modern solutions, and Dermalogica has innovated intensive Micro Zone treatments to address specific skin concerns with fast-acting solutions.  These time-compressed treatments usually take 20 minutes and focus on immediate skincare concerns such as annoying breakouts; blackheads; dull, lackluster skin; tired eyes; lip renewal or hand repair.

Summer’s sunshine-filled days are here, beckoning us to spend more time outdoors. While most of us understand the importance of sunscreens for our skin, we may not be as savvy about protecting our hair.  The best solution to dry, brittle hair, frizzies, faded color and limp locks is to stop the damage before it begins. The newest products are designed to protect hair just as sunscreens protect skin.  

Like skin, hair is made up from organic substances and easily can be damaged by the sun.  But unlike skin, hair does not have self-healing properties, and the damage is irreversible.  UVB rays, those primarily responsible for burning skin, also harm the hair fiber in all three zones:

• Zone A:  The surface  Hair becomes rough, duller and more sensitive to humidity.
• Zone B:  The cuticle   Hair's protective barrier is weakened, and hair becomes porous.
• Zone C:  The cortex   Hair becomes vulnerable to breakage and split ends.

Exposure to sun also affects hair color.  Natural hair color becomes lighter and more sun- sensitive.  Color-treated hair color fades and becomes duller.  Without proper protection, extended sun exposure creates a vicious cycle of damage.  When hair is affected by the sun, the fiber deteriorates and weakens.  With each exposure, hair becomes more sensitized.  The more a hair fiber is sensitized, the further it is damaged by continuing sun exposure.  Contact with chlorine and salt water compound effects of the UV rays.

Advanced hair protection includes conditioning oils and sprays which add instant, weightless UV protection for your hair before and during sun exposure.  The best products use a non-greasy formula that forms a super-light protective film around the hair fiber to keep it nourished and protected. Hair is left feeling supple with a natural-looking shine.  After sun exposure, a nourishing balm intensively nourishes the hair fiber to help it recover suppleness and softness, while detangling and smoothing the hair's surface.

At Salon 2000, we carry patented products from Paul Mitchell, Matrix and Aquage that shield your hair, starting from the outside surface all the way to the inner core.  Ask your hairdresser about the importance of using these products before, during and after sun exposure, and you will experience the healthy, shiny, sexy hair you crave – all summer long.
