Does Your Presence Speak Confidence? A MUST Read on Your Most Powerful Accessory!

First Impressions. Your Most Powerful Accessory?  Your FACE!

As we move about in this high tech world, your face is the reason why people still fly thousands of miles for relationship building and for in-person meetings. Why? Because face-to-face business is paramount in establishing relationships and maximizing productivity.

Think about it; in business you may communicate with someone online for weeks, maybe even months before you actually meet them. Once you do, it’s critical to put your best self forward in order to solidify and enhance the initial impression.

It’s important to feel confident in these physical relationships - so investing in your beauty persona is a wise move, not just for business,  but for every day communication.

Make a Statement! The Kasia Hair and Skin Health Experts…. suggest clients spend money on three main things; 1.) aesthetic/supportive shoes, 2.) fabulous underwear to feel powerful, 3.) hair color and skincare, with skincare and over-all hair style being at the top of that list. When is the last time you replaced your face?

From the Head – UP!  It’s your most powerful accessory. You use it every day – and our team is here to suggest the right natural products and services to keep your hair and skin looking its best!  Putting your best face forward holistically synergizes with your health, natural beauty, self-esteem and positive impressions to the world and who you uniquely are.

So the next time you think it’s selfish to invest in your hair and skin, think harder because a healthy, glowing skin coupled with a great smile are more powerful than you realize.  It IS your PRESENSE that people connect to.

The Kasia team has three price ranges to suite your fiscal needs.  Contact us with any questions you may have.

Autumn Skin Care Tips: Renew & Recover

 

Slough off the old, and bring on the new! To start the fall season with refreshed skin, slough off the summer residue to start the fall season with refreshed skin.  1.)  Treat yourself to at least one good facial treatment to start the season polished and smooth.  2.) Maintain the benefits by doing a gentle exfoliation on a weekly basis with Kasia ReNew AHA + Vitamin C Cleanser.

Moisturize! As we exfoliate, the skin needs the nourishment put back in.  A basic moisturizer that contains vitamins A, C, and E, plus anti-oxidants are great.   These ingredients neutralize the damaging toxins from the sun, and can help prevent further damage when summer is over.   EnMoist and AgeLess are the perfect day and evening moisture option for anti-aging.

Use Sunscreen The use of sunscreen is a very important and is the main cause of aging skin. Don’t skip this step!  Good Day Sunshine + Vitamin D Moisturizer is a great addition for your daily sun-care needs.

Internal - External Hydrate! Drinking at least 8 glasses of water per day will keep your skin moisturized and help eliminate toxins effectively. Have an extra glass of water for every glass of alcohol/cup of coffee you take to prevent possible dehydration. Try to get as much water as possible from fresh fruits and vegetables.

EAT to your beauty! Foods rich in Omega-3 essential fatty acids and antioxidants such as polyphones, Vitamins A, C and E can help reverse summer damage, prepare it for the

challenges it will face during winter and boost the skin’s immune system while preserving its quality and restoring its natural glow.

A comprehensive skin care system can help protect your skin's existing defenses to prevent further damage. Antioxidants and broad-spectrum sunscreen ingredients help protect, while moisturizers help minimize the initial signs of aging.

 

The Best Hairstyle for Your Face Shape and Features

Have you ever considered your face shape or certain facial features when choosing a cut or style?  Your face shape can significantly change how certain hairstyles look on you.

 At your next professional salon service, take the time to analyze what shape you are classified as - and do an analysis of what cuts best suite your style, upkeep, and face shape!

Round Face  This face shape has about the same width as length. If you have a round face, you want to elongate the face and give it more definition. Longer lengths (below the chin) with face framing layers work great. A deep side part also creates a slimming illusion.

Heart Face  This face is wider at the forehead and narrower at the chin and jaw. A deep side part with a chin length cut balances the face shape. Keep the style soft and add long layers around the face. Small bangs also provide a nice dimension.

Oval Face  This face shape is well proportioned – the length is about one and a half times the width and can wear almost any hair style.

Square Face  This face is defined by wide cheekbones, a broad forehead and a wide jaw line. Off center parts and face framing layers work wonders with the facial shape. Rounder bangs help to soften the edges too.

Pear Face This face is narrow at the forehead and wider at the chin and jaw. A haircut with width and height balances this face shape. Adding volume to the crown can really bring attention to the eyes.

Long Face This face has a length longer than the width. Shorter, chin length hair styles with a wide bang help add necessary width to an elongated face.

Large Nose  A suggestion when dealing with a larger nose is to keep hair longer, adding soft layers around the sides and on top of the head, paired with a soft bang.

Wide Forehead Bangs cut short enough to balance the width of the face is a great suggestion for a wide forehead.

Narrow Forehead  A bang cut back somewhat to help extend the width of the forehead.

Vertical or Horizontal  Balance your face with a hair cut that leads the eye in the opposite direction. For example, if your face is too narrow – ask your stylist to build width into your hairstyle or if your face is too wide – ask the stylist to add more height in your hairstyle.

Thick Neck Soften a less than swan-like neck with long layers and soft movement in and around the neck area.

Narrow Neck  We recommend to cut your hair just above the shoulders with layers or into a bob to downplay a narrow neck.

Can Onion Help Your Hair Grow?

I LOVE ONIONS!  How bout you? Eat onions to help fight hair fall and induce hair growth!

Onions are high on sulfur content. That is why the juice of onions is capable of stimulating hair growth as sulfur helps in increasing blood circulation.

Sulfer also diminishes any kind of skin inflammation due to its antibacterial properties.

We Dare YOU!  Onion Juice for your Hair!

Trending . . . Side-Swept Bangs

Break out the BANGS!  

Make a modest change with straight across or to the side - bangs!  Bangs are always a great addition to any fall or winter style!

The Kasia Secret on HOW to Maintain Beautiful Hair Color

 

Choosing the RIGHT Hair Color When you go to choose the next hair color you wish to invest in, always remember that “what you put in – you get out.”  We suggest avoiding color lines that use ammonia or MEA.  These ingredients aggressively raise your cuticle to deposit the pigments into the cortex. At Kasia we use an ammonia/MEA free color that is much kinder to the hair.  “It’s all in the delivery process.”  By opening the cuticle with alkaline actives, allowing the cuticle to slowly open and equally in time to close, you will get the long lasting results you invested in – multi-dimesional, shiny, and complete coverage without the damage!

 

Do you really need a shampoo for color-treated hair? YES! Well, at least a shampoo that is sulfate free. Traditional shampoos contain sulfates that cause the cuticle of the hair to swell which in turn leak your fabulous new color.  “As hair health specialists, we can instantly tell the difference between clients who follow his strict healthy hair checklist and those who don’t.”  Kasia Shampoo & Conditioners not only are sulfate free but will leave your hair with a healthy pH level to promote health and longevity.

Dry Shampoo – Your New BFF! It’s no secret the more you shampoo and blow dry, the quicker the fading.  So why not try to go a couple days without?   Dry shampoo may just be your haircolor’s new BFF.  Try our new Revive Dry Shampoo – clients love the fact that it doesn’t leave the hair or scalp feeling nasty after one day of use (extra additives) – allowing you to where with no washing for multiple days!

UV – Protect ME! Who doesn’t love Mr. Shiny Sun?  While the majority of us love the beaming rays, our colored tresses do not. Just like you protect your anti-aging skin from the sun - our hair is also affected - causing free radical damage, in which creates fading.  Studies show that having a UV filter in a hair care products can reduce color fading by up to 40 percent.  Additionally, sources of heat from styling tools can open up the cuticle allowing your color to leech out. Just a few sprays of aloe-based Off the Fritz on damp hair will help protect your hair from the heat, UV rays, and environmental damages all the while eliminating frizz!

 

At Kasia Organic Salon we have a proven system to benefit our guests with lasting rich color, color-safe products, and treatments to better assure strong and anti-aging hair.

Recipe for Success in Styling!

Get out your recipe cards and record the following tips for a sleek and smooth outcome - close to what you had at the salon.

Your Shopping LIst

What is needed?  

Before you style your hair with any sort of heating tools, you must use products to protect your hair. Since blow-drying can cause hair to frizz and heat damage, use a product that will help with both of those like Kasia Outshine Smoothing Gloss and Off the Fritz Hair Sealer

Using a hair dryer with a nozzle helps with concentrating hot air flow to your hair. Investing in a great dryer, round or paddle brush and also hair clips are key.

Blow out and GO!  

Remove most of the moisture by pre-drying your hair with a paddle brush or fingers.

• Once your hair is moderately dry, section off you hair to dry it in three sections: the crown, middle and underneath. Leave the bottom part down to dry first. The rest of you hair should be held up by a clip.
• Start With Bangs.  Bangs aremuch more difficult to style once they’ve dried on their own.”
• Tip: If you want added volume, use a root lifting product such Hydra-Boost Texture and Volumizing Spray at the roots of your wet hair. For even more volume, lift hair straight up at the roots while drying.
• Starting with the underneath part of your hair, section off the hair with three-inch sections rolling your hair over a round brush.
• Dry from roots to ends, holding your dryer in a downward position reducing hair from frizzing and to keep hair cuticles smooth.
• Repeat the above steps for drying the middle and crown of your head.
• After your hair is dry, finish with just a tad more of Outshine and your favorite hairspray for the finishing touch to hold your lush locks!

Lastly.  Practice - Practice - Practice.
