Salon Passion – Camarillo

Salon Passion
(805) 388-3708
370 N Lantana St,
Camarillo, CA 93010

A gem in Camarillo…Salon Passion – an Aveda Concept Salon has an artsy Latino vibe with swanky hair ‘artists’ giving the best of the latest must-have hair styling. My personal favorite stylist – Enrique who also happens to be the owner of the salon. While the shop is medium sized, what really surprised me was the cozy room right off to the side which is a tranquil retreat that somehow amazingly drowns out the whole hustle and bustle of the salon. Be sure to ask for Pauline!

Treatments I personally recommend:
Back Facial, Eyebrow Shape & Wax & European Facial. All to DIE for!

The only downside is that Pauline the Esthetian only books appts 2 days a week so call and get your appt early. It makes for a perfect get-away day with the Camarillo Premium Outlets less than 5 minutes away!

Sensitive Dry Scalp?

I have sensitive scalp and thin hair – here is what I do to sooth my skin and thicken up my hair…

once a week:
aveda first and foremost…then

Product List:
Rusk green tea or alphalfa sprout shampoo
Paul Mitchel green tea special shampoo and/or conditioner
Aveda Shampure

the thing that I have found with fine/limp hair is that you can’t use the same products over and over because it tends to buildup residue and then makes it more limp and less manageable. Hair thickening treatments make it worse because all it does is deposit waxy residue onto your hair and make it heavier.

you might look into going to a health food store and finding some tea tree oil and adding a few drops into your shampoo regimine to sooth your scalp, and most minty products also will relieve the itch and you will begin to look forward to washing your hair!

good luck

Bumble & Bumble hair powder anyone?

I was reading in a magazine over the weekend about b & b’s ‘hair powder’ which comes in an aerosol spray which is supposed to help absorb oil and make your hair style last longer? Has anyone actually used this?

I get so annoyed because I go to the shop every 2 weeks to get my hair pressed/flattened and it only lasts 2 days, maybe 3 if I put it in a ponytail on the 3rd day because I have really oily hair, and I would LOVE to figure out a way to extend it another couple of days…

T3 Ceramic BlowDryer & Flat Iron

Ok so I have just realized in the last couple of months or so that there are major improvements on the basic styling tools, and as a ‘glam-puss’ I feel rather annoyed that I fell so far behind. But anyway, here are my two suggestions/recent additions to my stock of hair tools that are AMAZING!T3 Ionic blowdryer - makes your hair super shiny, fluffy and smooth AND the hairdryer doesn’t get hot on your head. Even my dog’s hair is significantly bomb with the use of the ionic dryer!

T3 Ceramic flat iron – OK before you ask why I didn’t get a CHI flatiron like everyone else on this earth…I had a gift certificate for nordstroms for 200 bucks and I wasn’t really in the mood for shoes because it was closed toe season, so I checked out the hair products. This cute asian girl who probably wasn’t older than 19 says to me “you know what? I can see your flat iron marks , and if you had this one, I promise you you wont get them…I didn’t even know what the old flat iron marks were until a customer showed me” And I immediately felt old, and then compulsively bought it even with the non-sale $200 price tag. IT IS AMAZING!

you can flatten your hair in 1 smooth swipe -
the iron gets super duper hot in less than 1 minute
the iron makes your hair shiny and smooth.

TOTALLY WORTH THE INVESTMENT LADIES!!

ok now I have officially shown my age, yet I feel that I have done the beauty world some good with this insightful review. HA

here is the link of the T3 products if you are interested. T3
