Governor Mike DeWine put in place a “Stay at Home” order that goes into effect Monday, March 23, 2020 at 11:59p . We anticipated that this order would be coming and our legal team has been working with us since Sunday afternoon to finalize the plan with the governor’s office.
First, please be assured that we are not ignoring your calls and emails. We know how important communication is and we are working non-stop to get everything together in order to give clear direction to each of our guests. There are many moving parts and, thus we have been working non-stop to organize them to make the next steps as easy as possible for our guests.
In thenext 48 hourswe will be reaching out to give you updates to our plan and answer many of the questions our guests have been asking.

We truly appreciate your patience and understanding during a very challenging time, and we truly thank you for continuing to trust us with your hair & scalp needs!
With the unexpected, temporary closure on Wednesday our team has come together as quickly as possible to put together a plan to take care of our guests who are in need of a solution for their attachment.
We know that there has been a great bit of uncertainty and concern for many of our guests and we want to assure you that we will get through this together!
Today, we are rolling out the solution we have put in place. Below we have broken it down into a three-step plan. Think of this as our “pick-up” or “drive-up” solution.
Please know that this is only a temporary solution designed to help remove your hair, have it cleaned, styled and get ittemporarily re-attachedto help bridge the time between now and when we re-open and begin full services.
We have come up with the best solution based on the unprecedented circumstances that are before us.
We will begin taking “drop-off” appointments Friday, March 27th.
Our #1 priority is the health of our guests, our team and their families.
We have been closely monitoring the fast-evolving situation with the corona virus and wanted to give you and update.
Currently, our center will remain open. We are monitoring the guidelines put forth by Governor Mike DeWine, and feel that by remaining open we are meeting the states directives especially since the majority of our services are performed in private room settings with no more than our guest and our Hair and Scalp Specialist.
We have advised our team that if they are not feeling well that their health and the health of our guests is our number one priority and they should stay home to be sure they are well.
We know that your hair and scalp are very important to you, we also know your health is your top priority in this unprecedented time, so we would ask that if you are not feeling well for any reason, that you contact us to reschedule your appointment.
Additionally, we are doing all we can to reinforce our already high standards of cleanliness and sanitation as we do our part in attempting to stop the spread of the corona virus (COVID-19). With that in mind, we want you to know the following additional steps we are taking within our center so that our guests feel confident and safe when visiting us for their hair and scalp needs.
Our three-step approach is designed to further focus on the health and well-being of our guests and our team. Our three-part approach is made up of Cleaning, Disinfecting and Protective Coating.
The 1st step of our approach is the cleaning stage. For the last 10+ years we have had protocols in place with the highest standards for daily and weekly cleaning. These protocols are designed not only for the tools used on our guests at the time of their services, but also for all high touch areas such as waiting rooms, styling rooms, door handles and bathrooms. Our cleaning protocol has been and will continue to be completed each night by our team. Additionally, each week we have a cleaning crew that comes in to deep clean and sanitize in order that our center is prepared for the next week.
We will be increasing our already high standards of cleanliness and sanitation by further focusing on our high touch areas, by cleaning those areas throughout the day.
The 2nd stepof our approach is the disinfecting stage. We have hired a company that has come in
today and will continue to disinfect our entire building from top to bottom in the upcoming months. The company we have chosen is Your Healthy Spaces. This company uses a specialized electrostatic sprayer designed to reach every nook and cranny of our building. The sprayers impact all 360 degrees around a surface killing ALL germs and not just the ones that cleaned during our cleaning process.
This company performs a hospital grade disinfecting process. The solutions they use are green, biodegradable, and EPA approved disinfecting solutions that are harmless to humans, animals and the environment yet kills every known pathogen, including coronavirus.
The 3rd step of our plan is the protective coating phase. Your Healthy Spaces has applied a proprietary protective coating on all high touch areas designed to kill any bacteria or viruses before the virus can even land on the service.
We are committing to our three-part approach for the next several months, with the goal to make sure our guests, our team and their families are taken care of and feel confident and secure when coming in to our center.
We will continue to closely monitoring the situation and will continue to update you as necessary.
Thank you for continuing to trust us with all your hair and scalp needs!
Monica lost her hair after having surgery. She wants other women in similar circumstances to know they are not alone and that there are options.
“If you think hair loss only affects men, you’d be mistaken. Half of all women will experience hair loss too. The causes vary from hormones, age, childbirth to even hairstyles.
Medical hair loss is also a common cause. It’s well known that chemotherapy can cause hair loss, but there are other conditions too. Such as thyroid disorders, alopecia and even severe stress.
But in my case, I lost hair after my surgery. It’s one part of my recovery from a brain tumor that I haven’t shared until now. By doing so, I hope that other women dealing with the same issue will know that they are not alone and there are options they might consider.” – Monica Robins
Watch as Monica tells her amazing story and how like her, you too can find the solution to your hair loss!
When Valerie Fuentes was diagnosed with alopecia in her early 20s, she did what most people would do: she faced it. She accepted it for what it was, and learned how to cope.
But despite her bravery, she felt what anyone in her position would feel: a sense of being let down. She would wonder, why am I failing myself? Why is my body not working?
She spent many years focused on how to get her hair to grow back and regain what she had lost. There were countless treatments and shampoos over the years. “You name it,” recalls Valerie, “I spent all my time, my money and my energy on it, because I wanted my hair back.”
It became all-consuming, until Valerie made a realization: she was the only one who could change her life.
While Valerie still deals with alopecia on a daily basis, her outlook on life has changed. Her perspective of herself changed, which caused a shift in the conversations she had with herself. The realization came during a bout of depression over life with alopecia, when it occurred to her that she can have the life that she wants. She gets to live, and gets to decide what she will do with her life.
From then on, Valerie would look at herself in the mirror and tell herself five powerful words: “You’re not your hair, Valerie.”
It took years of soul searching to get to this point, but the choice she made to not stop her life because of hair loss was an important one. It took courage, and is a daily, ongoing effort.
Valerie now advocates for others to stay strong in the wake of hair loss, and to not let it stop them from living the best life possible. She works to prevent others from going through the same depths of depression she faced due to hair loss and wants others to know they are not alone in the journey.
Valerie will be hosting Overcoming Medical Hair Loss, a 21 day summit beginning February 24 with speakers from across the country. Experts in the industry will speak over the course of three weeks, delivering inspirational and uplifting interviews daily to recipients’ inboxes. They will share the tools, resources, coaching and support it takes to have a better life while living with hair loss.
Valerie strives to serve the community of those suffering from hair loss due to medical issues, and firmly believes it’s not one solution that will bring your life or your hair back, it’s a holistic approach.
One important thing to remember: “You’re not dealing with hair loss, you’re living with hair loss,” says Valerie.
Differences Come Over Time
Every day is just one step at a time. Valerie finds strength within and is now sharing that strength with others.
It’s important to feel your feelings, and give yourself permission to feel sad and upset over the loss of your hair. The feelings are valid.
But it’s your choice what happens next.
Valerie believes there are three important steps on the path to living with hair loss:
Step One: Have a conversation with yourself. You’re not your hair, but you’re still you. Remember, you get to look the way you want to look. Feel your feelings, then let the guilt go.
Step Two: What you get to do about it. Live your life every day, just one step at a time.
Step Three: Have a strong support system. Your hairdresser is an important part of the process, so choose one who’s sensitive to you and your needs, knows your journey and what you’ve been through. Be open with your family and friends. Surround yourself with positivity and remember, you’re not alone.
There is another side, and everyone can to the other side of this just like Valerie, by taking things one step at a time. Release the focus on it being all about the hair, and enjoy life and live it fully.

Whether you have your natural hair, colored or processed hair, a wig, hairpiece or extensions, all these hair types have one thing in common: they need to be strengthened on a regular basis. There are many ways to strengthen the hair, but without knowing the correct way to go about it, you can actually cause damage by overdoing it. Here are 5 tips to effectively strengthen your hair.
Protein Size Matters
Just like your body, your hair needs protein and other nutrients to stay healthy. Protein helps rebuild and strengthen hair strands, maintaining your hair’s health. Without enough protein in your hair, it will become damaged, with snags causing split ends. Hair processed for wigs and hairpieces can become depleted and will continue to lose protein without extra treatments. The protein your hair needs is a molecular size, which is very small, meaning that it can penetrate into the hair and stay there.
Keep Hair Regularly Moisturized to Avoid Permanent Damage
When your hair is in need of moisture, the cuticle rises. Once it does so, it doesn’t close down and there is nothing that can bring it back to its original state. Therefore, it’s important to prevent this from happening by maintaining the amount of moisture in your hair. Regular protein treatments can help with this, as well as conditioning clean hair.
Spray Conditioner Coats the Hair Without Adding Weight
A coat of light spray conditioner in the morning can lubricate the hair without weighing it down. Leave in conditioner prevents the hair from tangling, which causes it from needing more moisture. Spray generously throughout the day, particularly in the morning as you’re beginning your day and in the evening as you’re winding it down, but also throughout the day as your hair becomes exposed to heat, cold or friction, for added protection.
Avoid Exposing the Hair to Friction to Avoid Breakage
The most common exposure to friction for your hair is your pillowcase. We recommend using a satin pillowcase, as its texture stops the friction against the cuticle. If you don’t have a satin pillowcase, wrap your hair in a silk scarf for the same effect. Other sources of friction include hats or caps that can be tough on hair, which weaken the hair when there’s too much direct contact with the material.
Comb Gently and Avoid Heat
Start from the bottom of the hair and work your way toward the scalp. You’ll want a quality comb or hairbrush, so avoid plastic to prevent your hair strands from being strained. Fiber-based brushes tend to work well against breakage. Avoid too much exposure to heat, as that can easily weaken the hair. Direct heat from hair dryers and styling tools are especially harmful, so opt for minimal heat.
Keep your hair looking beautiful everyday by giving it strength, elasticity and moisture. These tips can help you preserve your hair’s health. Want to continue maintaining your beautiful hair? Contact our team today!
The key to healthy, natural-looking hair is cleaning it to keep it fresh. To maintain your hair, you must clean it regularly. When washing your hair, you’ll want to be sure you don’t damage the hair along the way.
Here are the 5 steps to showering to avoid damage to your hair. Follow these basic fundamentals to keep your hair looking luminous and clean.
1. Pre-Wash
To begin, you’ll want to remove tangles and knots from your hair. Using a brush and moisturizing detangler, rid your hair of snarls before getting it wet. This will prevent breakage down the line. Pay special attention to the ends of the hair and the nape area where friction is greatest. Next, you’ll pre-condition, distributing the product evenly throughout the hair. Once you’ve worked it in, rinse with lukewarm —not hot— water. Hot water dries out hair and strips it of the much-needed nutrients, and even color. Rinse out the conditioner in a waterfall-like motion to avoid damaging the hair. Don’t let the water hit the hair directly where it is tied to the base. Make sure all product has been removed from the hair before moving on.
2. Cleanse
Work in an appropriate amount of shampoo with lukewarm water. Comb the product into the hair with your fingers carefully to avoid creating knots. Rinse out the shampoo, again in a waterfall motion to avoid damage. Once again, you’ll want to keep the water from hitting the hair directly where it is tied to the base, and rinse out the product thoroughly. Use lukewarm water rather than hot because hot water causes color to fade by lifting the cuticle of the hair.
3. Rinse and Repair
Repairing hair ensures it is moisturized and prevents additional breakage. To repair your hair, apply a protein treatment, working the product from mid-strands to end. Do not rinse it out until the next step is applied, as repair continues. Next, you’ll want to apply an appropriate amount of moisturizing detangling conditioner to the hair, over where the protein treatment was placed. Using your fingers as a comb, distribute the product throughout your hair, avoiding the roots. Keep the treatment on for three minutes, then rinse with lukewarm water in a waterfall motion.
4. Towel Dry
With your hands, towel dry your hair, squeezing out all excess water carefully. Use a friction-free towel to blot out any remaining excess water. Using a blotting technique, move the towel around the entire surface of the hair to absorb moisture. Turn your head upside down and shake out any remaining water. This will put body back into the knots that secure the hair to the base.
5. Post-Wash
To finish, you’ll want to re-secure your attachment. Press down around the outer perimeter of the hair replacement or extensions to re-secure the attachment. Hydrate your hair by spraying an appropriate amount of leave-in protein product. Use your fingers to work the product into the hair. This will hydrate your hair and make it easier to comb through. Keep your hair protected by spraying a liberal amount of moisturizing detangler and work it throughout your hair with your fingers. Keep your hair feeling refreshed throughout the day to avoid buildup with anti-bacterial spray or toner daily.
Following these steps is the key to prolonging the life of your hair. Knowing how to moisturize, cleanse, rinse and dry your hair correctly prevents breakage and avoids damage, leaving you with healthy, beautiful hair. We want you to look natural, beautiful and feel like yourself.
The cold weather has arrived, and with it, the need for heavy jackets, hats and scarves. Those blistering winds will have you wanting to keep every inch tucked away, and if you wear a hairpiece, this can present a unique challenge.
When your hair rubs against the back of your neck and another material, such as a wool scarf, it creates friction. Friction can unfortunately lead to hair breakage, split ends and frizziness. Breakage can result in hair tangling and even hair loss. Additionally, extreme temperatures, both too hot and too cold, can negatively impact your hairpiece.
Here at Jeffrey Paul Hair and Scalp Specialists, we want your hair to look healthy, glowing and beautiful all year round. Here’s how you can stay warm this winter, without causing damage to your hairpiece.
Silk Scarf
Silk scarves can provide warmth just as well as wool scarves, making them a great alternative for those who wear hairpieces. The material is smooth so they won’t cause friction, yet they preserve heat. Silk preserves the moisture in your hairpiece, to avoid drying out the hair. Wigs lose moisture when exposed to the cold, and silk helps to lock in the hydration.
Silk Hat
Silk can also be used to protect your hair from your warm winter hats. In addition to wool, cotton, acrylic and other coarse (but warm) fabrics can be detrimental to your hairpiece. The good news is you can still wear them if you line the interior with silk or satin. Just like with the scarf around your neck damaging your hair from underneath, hats can damage the hair at the top of your head. To preserve your hairpiece, simply sew the silk or satin material into your favorite winter hat. This will also limit your hair’s exposure to the cold temperatures, protecting it against the damage caused by wind and snow.
Moisturize
It’s also important to moisturize your hairpiece during the winter months, to combat the brutal temperatures outside. This can be done by deep conditioning your wig or using products like a hair mask. Another way to maintain the moisture in your wig is by limiting the use of straighteners, curling irons and blow dryers. However, it’s also important to note that you should never go outside in freezing temperatures with your wig when it’s still wet. The hair can freeze, which can cause it to break more easily.
Hair care during the winter months is crucial to making your hairpiece last. A hairpiece made from human hair needs just as much care as your natural care to protect it against cool winter temperatures. Hair maintenance is key to keeping your wig’s shape, thickness and look intact during this time of year.

The SOAP Project is specifically focused on educating and increasing awareness in the public on the prevalence of human trafficking, in order to restore trafficked survivors and to prevent teens from being victimized by domestic, minor, sex trafficking.
SOAP National travels all over the U.S. to hold outreaches during large events. We partner with local organizations to distribute millions of bars of soap wrapped with a red band that gives the National Human Trafficking Hotline number —1 (888) 3737-888— and resources to high-risk motels.
Trained volunteers help us offer the soap free-of-charge to motels along with training to be able to identify and report sex trafficking when they see it in their establishments. SOAP outreaches are scheduled around high-demand events like the Super Bowl, NCAA Final Four, Indy 500 and many more.
How You Can Help?
During the month of December our organization is working to bring awareness to not only human trafficking, but the efforts of The SOAP Project to combat human trafficking. We are looking for your support in helping us reach our goal to donate 2,500 bars of soap to their cause.
Human trafficking is a crime involving the exploitation of someone for the purposes of compelled labor or a commercial sex act through the use of force, fraud, or coercion. Human trafficking affects individuals across the world, including here in the United States, and is commonly regarded as one of the most pressing human rights issues of our time. Human trafficking affects every community in the United States across age, gender, ethnicity, and socio-economic backgrounds.
Sex traffickingis the recruitment, harboring, transportation, provision, obtaining, patronizing, or soliciting of a person for the purposes of a commercial sex act, in which the commercial sex act is induced by force, fraud, or coercion, or in which the person induced to perform such an act has not attained 18 years of age (22 USC § 7102).
Labor traffickingis the recruitment, harboring, transportation, provision, or obtaining of a person for labor or services, through the use of force, fraud, or coercion for the purposes of subjection to involuntary servitude, peonage, debt bondage, or slavery, (22 USC § 7102).
Since 2012 the reported cases of human trafficking in Ohio have increased by almost 450%. Compared to the other states in the United States, since 2013 Ohio has consistently been in the top 10 each year and for the last four years, Ohio has been in the top 5. Just because you do not see it does not mean it is not an issue. It is important to recognize the signs and bring awareness to everyone. You can learn more about the signs and indicators and begin making a difference in the life of your fellow Ohioan.
Hair loss is one of the biggest contributors to stress in our culture, with the most common cause of hair loss being hereditary hair loss. Individuals with hereditary hair loss experience what is called miniaturization of hair. Miniaturization occurs when the hair follicle shrinks in size causing the individual hairs to become smaller and finer. Causes of miniaturization include but are not limited to
stress, DHT, and medications. If nothing is done to treat these miniaturized hairs, the follicle will go away and the hair will be lost for good.

Want to find out more about the health of your hair and scalp? Then a ScalpCheck is where you need to begin!
There are hundreds if not thousands of options of shampoos available to consumers today. The fancy packaging, crafty marketing lingo and claims may give you the feeling that what you are using is right for your hair and scalp. But is it? Do you really know if your shampoo is helping, hurting or contributing to a hair or scalp issue? Here are 5 – things you should know about your shampoo:
1. Looks can be deceiving…
The back of the bottle is more important
The fancy packaging, crafty marketing words and claim on the front of the bottles may give you the feeling that what you are using is right for your hair and scalp. The key to the right shampoo is not how pretty the front of the bottle, It’s what inside, the ingredients, that makes all the difference to your hair and scalp!
2. How often matters…
You Should Be Shampooing Every Day
That’s right… every day! The key is every day with the RIGHT type of shampoo which should contain a mild detergent in it designed to help keep oil and hydration of the scalp and hair in a balanced state. If you feel your shampoo would dry your hair out if you used it each day, you have the wrong shampoo.
3. It’s $3 for a reason…
There Is A Reason It Is So Cheap
Ingredients, ingredients, ingredients! Shampoos that cost $3 contain ingredients that are either a majority of water (so you have to use more to get a result) or are inexpensive and ineffective. High quality ingredients make a world of difference for your hair and scalp.
4. How much is important…
Too Much Or Too Little Can Lead To Problems
More product is not always better. The more product you use the more it takes to rinse it out, and the greater likelihood of product buildup. Similarly, using too little of the product will not achieve the desired results. Oh, and don’t forget to emulsify the product in your hand before working into your hair.
5. Shampoo is not the cure-all…
It’s Only On Your Head for About 1-Minute
Shampoo is not designed to fix the root issues of dandruff, excessive scalp itch, oily hair, or hair loss and hair thinning. It can help with symptoms, but to really help lessen or eliminate these issues you need to discover the health of your hair and scalp.
