Fusion Hair Extensions

After years and years of wearing sew~in track hair extensions, I finally decided to give the Fusion extensions a try…and let me tell you, they are FANTASTIC!! I have had them in for almost 1 month with absolutely no casualies of hair loss or anything.

I had never heard about this type of hair extension, probably because the salon that I usually go to doesn’t offer them, but I super glad I stumbled across Goddess Salon!

The cost is dependent on what length you get, how much hair you get etc, but they have a special advertised at 16 inches for $195 which includes really high grade remy hair and putting them in.  It only takes about an hour or so for fantastic hair!

You can get a free consultation to discuss what you want, and tell them Sylvia from Spa-View sent you!

The Brazilian Blowout

As a busy mother of two boys, I have been looking for some easier options for my hair. I have had thick semi frizzy hair all of my life, look at my 80′s high school pics for reference..lol….My typical hair routine is lots of hair product after the shower, anti frizz gel, leave-in conditioner, blowdry, styling spray, ceramic flat iron, shine spray, then a light hairspray. All for a nice smooth sleek look,ugh, exhausting! No wonder I only wash my hair every 2-3 days!

Well hopefully that long process is over and I am here to share with you my new experience with The Brazilian Blowout! After googling the top hair salons, I kept seeing on their service menu “The Brazilian Blowout” . I googled it and found that they actually have a website and it is the newest healthy hair process in Hollywood. The 90 minute process gives you healthy, shiny, straight hair without the frizz, and without having to flat iron. I was excited at that very moment that I finally found a product to eliminate my time consuming hair time.

On the Brazilian Blowout website you can put in your zip code and they will refer you to salons that have trained Brazilian Blowout stylists. This day had been long time coming for me so I immediately called the nearest salon and made an appointment for the next morning. I arrived at the Carlton Hair Salon in the Topanga Plaza. When I made my appointment I asked for their top stylist that is trained in the Brazilian Blowout, she said her manager was fabulous. Well I don’t mess around when it comes to my hair I need skills or you can not come close to my hair. I met with the manager Carmina. She was really great she discussed the whole process with me so I knew what to expect. So as she began the process her salon offered me a mimosa and I took them up on the drink, I was a little nervous.

The 90 minute process is washing the hair with the Brazilian Blowout product, drying the hair and sectioning. Then applying an all natural solution to each section of the hair. After another wash, blowdry, flat iron, I can really see the shine and smoothness of my hair. After the flat iron process we washed again. Then the miracle came, no frizz and she blow-dried my hair with her fingers and a paddle brush for my bangs and wahhlahhhh!!! I love it!

The expense was half the price of the Japanese press. Carmina said it should last up to 12 weeks but everyone’s hair is different so we shall see how long mine lasts. I did purchase the shampoo, conditioner masque, and hair serum, which is an extra expense on the pocket book but I think worth it if it helps prolong the process. For all my Valley readers definitely check out Carlton Hair and ask for Carmina. This process requires someone knowledgeable and who knows what their doing. The salon’s hospitality was great! I am in day two and I woke up looking like I just walked out of the salon. I will keep you posted on the weeks ahead, so far I love it!! What do you think? Check out the pic!

p.s. A special thank you to my girly Sylvia for allowing me to be contributing writer on her website. I am truly honored!

Tabatha Takes Over Plush Salon in Chatsworth

So….the other day I was walking to the vitamin store, and passed a salon that had a bunch of MS Word fliers posted all over the front of the store window, the phone booth (do people still use public phones?) the pillars of the strip mall and wherever else they felt the need to post them stating “Watch Us On Tabatha’s Salon Takeover” on BravoTV.

*Image Courtesy of BravoTv.com

Ok so here’s my thing. Have any of you actually SEEN Tabitha’s Salon Takeover? Its about a salon that is completely screwed up, filthy, ineffective, and basically about to crash and burn. In a one segment show, Tabitha comes in and with a strong hand, consults on what, how and where to make the business of owning a salon could actually salvage the falling business. Knowing that, why would any one trust a salon that needed such dire help with their hair?? WHAT??

Seriously, I can honestly say that I probably will never go into Plush Salon based on just that whole little occurrence. Am I a diva? Perhaps.

“Around this time last summer, traces of my highlights were still visible, even though my hair was reasonably damaged. However, thanks to my on-again, off-again hair regimen, my strands are noticeably healthier, minus the color. So when I heard about Clairol Professional Advanced Gray Solution with its patented SynAIRgy� technology, I almost managed to restrain myself from contemplating a new color for Summer…almost being the keyword! It’s specifically for women of color!”

Hair Towels are the Real Deal!

I have seen these in stores all over the place for years, and always thought that it was just one of those things that you really didn’t need, because in my head, I would always say ‘oh, well I have a bunch of towels at home’ BUT let me share 1 thing with you: I spent the $25 on a whim on a set of 2 hair towels, and I am constantly going back for more. Seriously, these little miracle blankets wrap around your head perfectly, and take all the moisture out of your hair for a way faster blow dry!!

Again, one of the best mini-buys I have done, and the results prove to be fabulous over and over! Want specific deets?
