hot hot heaatttt!

Summer is especially harsh these last few years and this summer has been extremely hard on the hair of many of my clients! Avoid over using heat styling tools, bulk up on a great hair mask for your hair type (all soft mask by redkin or phyto moisture mask) and as hard as it might be during these sweaty months, avoid over washing... Apply an apple cider vinegar spritz to your scalp often to combat finiky and itchy scalps in place pf washing with heavy detergent like shampoos (like head n shoulders or aggresive dandruff shampoos). stay cool!

July hair care FAVES!

Ive got some new hair care and styling favorites this month! I'm really loving the Framesi Volcanic Wax for styling! Its been great on short mens cuts for malleable hold and sleek styles and great for beach y, piece-y looks on long layered styles or one length bob cuts! Also great for women's pixies and shorter textured bobs! A new favorite too this month is the Blow Dry line of heat styling products, especially the oil. Use it on damp hair before blow drying or curling; just use a dime size amount on hair from the chin down! July is looking busy already and Ive only got one Saturday left with availabilities, the 25th! Hope you all had a great Holiday weekend! Sasha!

May hair post!

Happy Summer! This month Im offering $5 off all clear glazes, great for sealing up split or fried ends and good for maintaining manageability. Clear glazes are non color clear stains that increase shine. You can book it on www.vagaro.com/sashasiefman Ive been reading up on alot of minimal heat styling techniques and its just in time, since hot weather and summer temperatures are upon us! A great new curl / wavy hair technique called Plopping is amazing! Apply product, dip hair into a cotton t-shirt and let dry early in the AM before you start your day or prep it for over night! Heres the link for step by step instructions for the best looks! http://www.buzzfeed.com/augustafalletta/plopping-is-the-best-kept-secret-for-perfect-natural-curls?utm_term=.rcGXqa3ZR#.knEoGqpwn ! For women with straighter hair or a really loose wave who want a model-esque wave that looks perfectly tousled try this technique I found on refinery 29 ; take damp hair and run some of your favorite smoothing serum mostly on the ends to avoid a greasy look by the scalp, make a loose ballerina bun with a couple bobby pins atop your head... let air dry for as long as you can then unravel and spray with your favorite Sea Spray for texture! I love Evo Salty Dog Spray, Rock a deep part and you're all set. My favorite styling products this month for men and women is Evo! I don't love the shampoo and conditioner but all the styling product is great and smells awesome, not overly flowery but very pleasant and unique! While i don't sell the product in salon its available on online!
