Your haircut and the big bang theory. Reflections of You Fairfax Va.

Reflections of You Salon and Spa Fairfax Va. Roysalon.com
Just as clients do, bangs come in all shapes and sizes. Blunt wide-set bangs work best for slender and long face shapes, because they add width across the forehead to create balance. A soft, side-swept bang is flattering on a shorter facial frame. This helps to enhance the proportion of the look by opening up the face at an angle. It is extremely important to determine the clients ridge-point when making decisions about adding bangs to their style. The ridge-point is the exact position on the top of the head that starts to curve downward. All that goes beyond that spot is hair that naturally falls forward, and should be included as bangs. If you are interested in revamping your current hairstyle, be sure to ask what style bangs work best for your face shape!

Fun, Flirty and Foiled! Hair color and highlights Reflections of You Fairfax

Reflections of You Fairfax Your hair color Experts!
Does your hair color seem lifeless and dull? Are you hoping to rejuvenate your current look? As a hair color specialist, I want to spread the word about creative foiling techniques, provide various ways to liven up your hair! The opportunities are countless when it comes to foiling. Clients can seek a simple, yet sophisticated highlight service or they may be interested in something with more contrast and edge, such as a back-to-back lowlights and highlights. Colorists have been using foils for many years, but as styles go through trends the techniques for foil application and patterns that are being taught in advanced color courses are keeping hair experts up-to-date! Foiling can easily transition you from season-to-season, rather than compromising the integrity of your hair by bleaching it out in the summer, and coloring it with ammonia formulated dyes in the winter. Having your hair foiled can add dimension and depth to your color which helps to create a fuller look. It can also assist in the camouflaging of gray or white regrowth. The world of coloring with foil applications opens numerous possibilities for you and your hair! Be sure to set up a consultation with me at Reflections of You Fairfax to discuss your hair which techniques are best suited for your desired look!

Thin or short hair? Do you want longer fuller hair? Hair extensions Fairfax Va.

Do you have thin, short hair, but would like fuller, longer hair? Then SoCap USA Extensions are the solution to get the look you desire. There are many options with SoCap extensions. You can add length, fullness, or add funky colors to your hair for fashion fun!!!


What are SoCap Extensions?
SoCap Extensions are made in Italy with one hundred percent real European hair. At the top of the extension there is a pre-bonded keratin protein tip. You can choose from over eighty one different hair extension colors in three different textures and four different lengths. The colors range from honey blonde to neon green!


How are the extensions put in the hair?
The hair is sectioned into neat rows. Then a micro section is taken and put into a mini shield, that way your scalp and other hair are protected and are out of the way of the bonding process. A heat tool is used to soften the pre-bonded keratin protein tip. The softened protein tip is then placed on top of your natural hair. The heat tool is pressed on top of the protein tip and under your natural hair to form a bond.


How long will the extensions last?
They will last 3 to 6 months with the proper recommended home care, products, and tools.


Will the extensions look like my hair?
Yes. The extensions are one hundred percent natural hair and are bonded to the hair in really small sections, that way they are nearly invisible to the eye. During your consultation, your stylist will match up your natural texture, natural color, or desired hair color to the extensions to get the natural or fun look that you desire.


Can I wash and style my hair after the extensions are put in?
Absolutely!! Your stylist will recommend the proper extension shampoo and conditioner for you to take home. Normal salon shampoos have too much oil in them, which can ruin the bond. You will also need to use a special extension brush in your hair, because regular brushes can catch on the bond and pull the extension out. You can use all your normal hot styling tools in your hair, as long as you keep the heat source away from the keratin bonds. Too much heat on a bond can cause the bond to soften and slide off.

Adult and teen spa Acne Treatment Options Reflections of You Fairfax Va.

Are you looking for clearer healthy skin?

The spa may be your answer. It’s a myth that spa’s are for people with clear beautiful skin we manage and treat many skin conditions at Reflections of You Fairfax roysalon.com

Procedural treatments are therapies performed by a esthetician or dermatoligist. They are used in the treatment of mild to severe acne, depending on the treatment. Procedural therapies are meant to be supportive and used in conjunction with topical and/or systemic treatments.

Extractions - Often performed by estheticians during a facial, extractions involve gently coaxing plugs of sebum and cellular debris from the pore. By removing blackheads, milia, and soft closed comedones the overall number of breakouts can be reduced. Estheticians are not permitted to extract cysts or serious lesions. These may only be extracted by a dermatologist through surgical methods.

Chemical peels- Deeply exfoliate the skin using an alpha-hydroxy, beta-hydroxy, or glycolic acid. Light chemical peels improve acne by removing dead skin cells and helping to clear pores of debris. Estheticians may incorporate chemical peels into a facial for those with mild to moderate acne. Those with more serious acne should have their dermatologist perform the chemical peel.

Microdermabrasion- This treatment may be performed at a spa or a dermatologist's office. A machine is used to rapidly discharge super-fine crystals/or a diamond crystal wand over the skin's surface, removing dead skin cells. It is not painful. A microdermabrasion treatment deeply exfoliates the skin, loosening debris from within the pore. It is best for those who have non-inflamed acne, with many blackheads and/or whiteheads.

Surface hair smoothing system featured in Launchpad magazine available at Reflections of You Fairfax

Ten Most Common Smooth & Healthy Questions:
1. How Do I Do A Retouch?
‐ Retouch for Smoothing and Curl Reduction follow original directions, with Smoothing Cream being applied first
to new growth, processed as desired then combed through ends to smooth reversion as desired. In Smoothing, press
new growth as above, limited pressing maybe used on previously treated area. Smoothing Bath may be applied as in
original application.
2. How long does it last and take to do?
Lasts: In salon average application:
A. Smoothing ‐ 3 to 5 months ‐ 3 hours
B. Curl Reduction ‐ 2 to 4 months ‐ 90 minutes
C. Smoothing Bath ‐ 6 to 8 weeks ‐ 20 minutes
3. What Type of Hair Can I Use It On?
‐ Not recommended for fine hair lifted beyond two levels or hair that has been treated with color remover.
‐ May be used on all qualifying hair textures.
‐ Evaluate hair condition to determine if the hair qualifies and desired result is achievable:
‐ Smoothing and Curl Reduction may be performed on hair that is up to 25% highlighted*
and is in good condition. Percentage of highlights and condition applies to individual sections of
hair. Example ‘back to back’ foils would be a section regarded as over 25% highlighted.
‐ Smoothing Bath* ‐ may be used on hair up to 50% highlighted provided it is in good condition.
‐ Varied conditions throughout the head may require different methods of application. Example a
Complete Smoothing application may require a ‘Smoothing Bath’ on specifically damaged areas.
* For added condition apply Trinity One Shot prior to each application of Protein Cream
4. Can I use it over other relaxers or treatments? ‐ Yes . Be sure to evaluate and qualify the hair’s condition ‘under’ the
existing treatment. Ask questions as to what previous chemical services the quest may have had based upon the length
of their hair. Example – the ends of hair that is 6” long would be about a year old, the ends of hair 24” long may be 2
years old. What has happened to those ends and does the condition qualify.
5. How long do I have to wait before I shampoo? ‐ 48 hrs
6. Can I Color of Highlight Afterwards?
‐ For best color results book 48 hours after service.
‐ Demi or semi permanent color may be applied following rinsing of Locking Lotion.
‐ Add ¼ oz of One Shot to color process.

7. How Smooth & Healthy Differs From Brazilian Type Keratin Treatments and Traditional Relaxers?
The Science of the Smooth & Healthy Treatment is Completely Different. See #9 below.
Smooth & Healthy is a healthy personal choice for smoothing. Long lasting due to slower reversion.
Three levels of treatment with one formula. Fast and easy. May be shampooed in 48 hours. Guest may swim in
ocean or pools.
8. As I applied the Smoothing Cream I noticed discoloration, but as I completed the treatment the color re‐established
itself and was even richer than before the treatment. What happened?
‐ Most often the guest’s hair color was not completely ‘attached’ in some areas due to free radicals remaining in the hair following
their previous color application. During the Smooth & Healthy treatment the Surface Color Vita Complex helps to reduce these free
radicals and lock in the color. After all colors apply Bassu Oil liberally to the hair, to reduce free radicals and ‘Peroxidization’. Your
colors will be richer and longer lasting.
9. How Does Smooth & Healthy Work?
1. Protein Cream ‐ Strengthens & Smooths Hair
2. Smoothing Cream ‐ Amino Acid Complex Softens Hair & Bonds Protein/Oil
3. Locking Lotion ‐ Locks Protein/Oil To Hair
Delivery System (‘Driver’) Provides Penetration & Delivery of Active Ingredients
‐ Sugars, acids and fatty alcohols derived from plants, fruits and vegetables, with mineral derivatives and water work as the ‘delivery
system’ for the amino acid and protein/oil complex.
Active Ingredients Produces Desired Result
‐ Amaranth/Babassu bonds to provide strength & smoothing. Cysteamine amino acid complex derived from cysteine protein softens
hair and allows for Amaranth/Babassu complex to attach. Cysteine is the principle factor in the structural protein of hair. The softer
the hair is allowed to become the smoother it can be locked. Heat of blow drying and pressing provides additional smoothing to the
hair’s structure prior to locking. Hydrogen Peroxide provides oxidization to lock Amaranth/Babassu complex.
10. Hot Tips:
1. Apply with good speed. If it seems to be taking you a long time in application you may spray areas you feel have softened
enough with water and Protein Cream.
2. Comb last time up as well as lift hair from scalp. This provides natural movement and insures healthy structure. It is not
natural for protein to bend at a 90 degree angle flat to the head. Protein at a 90 degree angle could result in separation and
damage. Do not allow hair to lay flat to scalp.
3. Set a timer and rinse 7 to 9 minutes with as hot of water as comfortable to the guest. Protein naturally has an unpleasant
odour and while the protein in Smooth & Healthy has a mild aroma, the hot water is necessary to insure thorough rinsing.Tired of the frizz ? Do you want less curl ? Call Reflections of You Fairfax today 703.591.5306 roysalon.com
4. Be sure that the hair that does not yet have Smoothing Lotion applied has consistent level of moisture prior to application.
You may need to mist this hair with water prior to application.
5. Guest MUST use Trinity Protein Cream and Surface Shampoo, Conditioner and Styling Products. At home the Protein Cream
is used as a leave in conditioner and may also be used dry as a thermal protector prior to press styling. Protein Cream
replaces the Amaranth/ Babassu complex that is worn away through daily environmental damage.

SPF 30 is enough Reflections of You Fairfax Va.

The sun protection factor can be misleading. Very little diffrence from SPF 15 to SPF 25 it goes from 93% uvb rays to 96%. The FDA does try to discourage the companies from making misleading or flaunting of higher numbers that have very little diffrence. Don't think that SPF 50-100 means you can stay in the sun longer or you will need not reapply the cream this is not the case. But many still market this way. Remember apply 15-30 minutes before going out and reapply as required. The UVB rays cause sunburn while UVA cause skin damage. The rays damage the proteins like collagen and the skin elastin.(Increase aging and wrinkles) High zinc and Mexoryl offer the broadest UVA protection.
