“I feel so confident. I can say ‘yeah’ and ‘hooray’ – this is the Pam I used to be!” –Pam
My good friend Pam had hair loss, which greatly affected her life. At 63 years young, this retired school principle was devastated. She remembered her mother going through the trials and tribulations of hair loss and the struggles of trying to style her hair to camouflage the thinning. All of which didn’t work. Pam told herself she would never go through that and yet with her significant hair loss, she was right where her mother had been. Pam came to us at Jeffrey Paul salon and we were able to help her find a solution that allowed her to live her life without the worry or stress associated with thinning.
Consultation:
We helped prepare Pam for her makeover by beginning her experience with a consultation to review each step of the process. We outlined options for color and style while ensuring that lifestyle and preferences were a major factor of the outcome for her replacement system.
The most rewarding part of my job is watching someone whose self-image has withered and then is transformed back into a vital, happy, radiant human being. When she looks into the mirror and sees herself as she always used to be – or as she always wished she could be – the joy in the room could light up a Christmas tree. I know that she’ll move back into her life with a confidence that will bring her countless benefits – both in her inner self and the outer self she presents to others. I’ve seen that happen again and again and it’s something I never tire of seeing.
In the video above there’s a story I would like to share with you, that I wrote, that illustrates the good feeling that comes along with watching people actually see themselves for who they truly are based on changes they make in their lives. This story is of an ugly caterpillar. It seems like a simple one, but its themes are familiar to Hair Restoration and Replacement professionals and the women and children who have undergone their own metamorphoses through the realization of royally beautiful hair.

Myth – The Beautiful Hair Products can last several years.
Fact – Because our products are developed with the highest grade USP ingredients the shelf life of the Beautiful Hair Products is 1 year. After a year, we cannot guarantee that the product will give the same quality results.
The guidelines for product usage are based on how many times per week a guest washes their hair and the length and texture of hair. The usage chart below is based on 6”hair length in a straight texture. Hair longer than 6” or with more curly texture would mean that product will be used faster. Hair shorter than 6” length would mean that product would be used slightly slower (Usage below based on an 8oz bottle):
1 Wash Per Week = 5 – 6 months
3 Washes Per Week = 3 – 4 months

This past weekend I had the great pleasure of spending time with my first granddaughter who is turning one! As I was playing with her she placed her hand in mine and I recognized how soft her baby skin was compared to mine.
Everyone knows the feel of a baby’s skin. The skin is soft, plump and filled with moisture – this is due to the skins natural occurring Sodium PCA which acts as a moisture retention agent. As an individual gets older Sodium PCA becomes less and less causing skin to become dry and tight.
Because hair has very similar characteristics to skin, when we specifically formulated our Beautiful Hair Care System one of the main ingredients we used in our Moisturizing Conditioner was Sodium PCA. This ingredient helps retain moisture in the hair. As moisture is retained, the shine of hair increase, tangles are reduced, hair is more manageable, color is deeper and richer, and best of all dryness is gone giving you the look you desire.
Women all around the world spend millions of dollars each year trying to find products that make their hair and skin look and feel younger and softer. Hair products promise to do many things but you can’t always “judge a book by its cover”… it’s more important to know what is in the products you use and why those ingredients are important to giving you the look you desire.

“I finally feel good about myself and how I look. That makes me happy. I want to share that.” -Cindy
As a former hospital employee, Cindy was always in the public eye, and like most of us, her hair had always been a big part of her appearance. As Cindy began to lose her hair, she was able to determine that her hair loss was not only hereditary, but was also being caused by a medication she was required to take after surgery. Cindy told me that her hair loss started slowly, but as any of us who have experienced loss know, a little is enough to throw us into that private panic, and search for a solution. Cindy came to me at my salon, and we were able to walk her through her thinning and loss, and find a solution that met her needs and made her feel good!
Consultation:
When Cindy first came into my salon for a personal consultation we reviewed her background and determined her hair type, face shape, skin tone, level of activity, preferences and health treatment status. These are all important factors to determine which is the best solution for her. Then we moved on to the evaluation and assessment of what solutions may be best for her.
Do you wonder how you can get salon soft hair at home? Simple! The secret is to pre-condition your hair, before your regular shampooing! This helps eliminate tangles when shampooing hair. If hair is tangled when shampooing you are not getting clean hair and you are going to create breakage in hair because of snarling of the tangles.
This is what you can do BEFORE you get into the shower to help condition hair while also removing tangles to get salon soft hair:
1. Get a water bottle and put a small amount of conditioner into a spray bottle of water. Shake really well.
2. Section your hair and then spray the pre-conditioner onto hair above and below the sectioned hair.
3. Comb through hair using a Wet Brush to help eliminate tangles.
4. Then let it sit while you get ready to get in the shower.
Have you ever heard the story of the mountain climber who slips and falls off the edge of the mountain and is hanging on for dear life with all his strength and effort, and when finally he is exhausted and unable to save himself begins to cry for help? Then a Majestic Voice calls out; “I am God and I will save you just let go and Trust Me I will not let you fall.” A moment of silence comes from the man hanging for dear life, then he cries out; “Is there anyone else up there?”
Where in your life do you feel you are hanging on for dear life? Are you trying to fix your life, marriage, health, job, relationship, finances or anything else that you are facing? Do you feel you are trying with all your strength and all your efforts but feel exhausted and unable to fix it? I have some good news for you – You can’t but with God you can!
In Zechariah 4:6-7 God’s Word says: “Not by your strength nor by your power, but by My Spirit,”
Even more to the point, it is said in the scripture of Isaiah that it is impossible to fix your life or anything else without turning it over to God and truly trusting in Him and His power to work all things together for the good in your life. God designed it this way so we would come to the realization that our best efforts are minor compared to His power within us.
Read Isaiah 30:15-26 and do what it says; “stop trying to fix your life and cry out for God’s help.” Then you will see what He has promised and preformed over and over since the beginning of time which is, that He is faithful and He will do what He has promised He would do!” (1 Thessalonians 5:24)

“Losing my breast was not really the issue. My hair was – as a woman it’s a big part of how people view you… Jeffrey Paul, and his team, gave me back the feeling of beauty both on the inside and with my hair!” – Kristin.
Kristin is a stage one breast cancer survivor. As a result of her chemotherapy, she knew she would lose her hair. That was both scary and confusing. She had always been known as someone with a full head of thick, blonde, beautiful hair. Even though she knew her hair didn’t define who she was, she was still very overwhelmed.
Consultation:
At my salon, the first step for Kristin was to meet with one of my consultants who evaluated her situation and her coming loss. For Kristin, we recommended a full cranial prosthesis. Kristin learned everything about a new hair system—how measurements were taken, the cap fitting, the breath-ability of the piece, the differences between human hair and synthetic, how it would be secured, and more.
There are many different ‘hair loss solutions’ out there on the market today that promise a ‘miracle solution’ that will stop all hair loss. At Jeffrey Paul Salon we know that hair loss is very specific to the individual, their diagnosis, their habits and their lifestyle. Sometimes the solution is not a pill or an extremely invasive procedure but rather taking a strong hard look at your lifestyle.
For example, meet my friend Cathy. Cathy began to notice that her hair was extremely dry and was starting to fall out. At the time her salon told her it was a side affect of the products that she was using, however Cathy was eventually diagnosed with Alopecia. Cathy, like most of us in her situation, began the search for the solution that would solve her problem.
After many different quests, including a trip to a dermatologist for scalp injections, Cathy came in for a consultation at Jeffery Paul Salon. We were able to advise her on her hair loss and we suggested that she begin by changing her lifestyle – to make sure that she was taking in the right vitamins and consuming the right foods and beverages to maximize the nutritional benefits for growth and reviving her hair. Along with this we recommended some conditioning products and laser light therapy – to help stimulate blood flow in the scalp and strengthen the hair follicle and hair shaft.
For Cathy, focusing on nutrition and supplements combined with conditioning hair products and light therapy sessions have allowed her hair to become shiny and healthy once again and have helped to lessen the hair loss she was experiencing.
If you would like to learn more about the right solutions for your individual hair loss please email us to set up a private and personal consultation with one of our specialists.
“Jeffrey, how can I make my eye lashes look like those commercials where the eye lashes get bigger, broader and wider?” –Lauren
What a great question! The key is to having fabulous full lashes is to use a clean, makeup free, mascara brush. After applying a layer of good mascara—while the mascara is still wet—take the clean wand and extend the mascara even further! Also remember to wash your mascara off before bed so they look beautiful each morning!

Knowing your individual face shape important while styling your hair, whether or not you are experiencing hair loss. Below I put together a list of the eight most common face shapes, I’ve also included my tips (as a stylists) for the best hair style for each shape.
WHEN YOUR FACE IS TRIANGULAR Characteristics: Wide chin and narrow forehead. The Goal: You guessed it – narrow the chin and widen the forehead.
Pick a style with full volume at the sides to balance your face shape. Wear hair full at the temples, brushed away from the face and up toward the ear to widen the forehead. From the ear, angle your hair forward, toward the chin, to soften and narrow a strong jaw. Chin length or longer will look best.
WHEN YOUR FACE IS DIAMOND-SHAPED Characteristics: Consult your local baseball field – narrow to near points at forehead and chin, wider at cheeks. The Goal: Fill in across the top and bottom to an extentso you can really sparkle.
Framing is a girl’s best friend in your case: consider styles that keep hair close to the head at the cheekbone line to create fullness across the jaw and forehead. Styles that lift away from your cheeks or move back from your hairline should be avoided.
WHEN YOUR FACE IS ROUND Characteristics: Wide, with full cheeks and a circular form. Ready for winter. The Goal:Make your face look slimmer; lengthen or narrow your features.
You may need a style that helps make your face look slightly thinner. Below-the-chin styles should be worn with a face-lengthening center part. Above the chin-line, wear an off-center part. Keep a little height at the crown of your head and slim your face by keeping your forehead uncluttered – in other words, no bangs. In a short, angled style, wear hair away from the face, and add a little height at the crown to lengthen the look of your features. If you do wear bangs. Tousle them toward the side. Keep longer styles close to the face.
WHEN YOUR FACE IS HEART-SHAPED Characteristics: Wide brow, full and prominent cheekbones and a narrow chin. The Goal: Narrow your forehead, widen your jaw line.
You may have the look of love, but you might want to try reducing the width of your forehead by parting your hair in the center and flipping bangs upward or styling your hair slanted to one side with a side part. You can also help to make the lower part of your face look a little wider to balance out your proportions by styling your hair at shoulder length or turned under the chin; mid-length will work best for you. Create fullness at the bottom and direct hair forward onto the cheeks, or try some curls or waves from the ears down.
WHEN YOUR FACE IS OBLONG Characteristics: Long, thin face with a pointy chin The Goal:Shorten things.
Try a low side part with a sweep of hair brushed diagonally across the forehead and gently combed in place. A voluminous look with an asymmetric hair flow to one side will create the illusion of width over length, as will straight bangs or bangs blended with the sides of your hair.
Mid-neck length will look best on you and style with curls, waves and volume will look flattering.
WHEN YOUR FACE IS PEAR-SHAPED Characteristics: Noticeably wider at the jaw than the forehead, but still sweet. The Goal: Balancing act.
You thought the “pear-shaped” distinction was reserved only for figure references. Not so. Your hair should be styled fairly close to the top of your head with a fringe of curls and bangs, combined with fullness at the sides, to make your forehead appear to be a little wider and to add balance.
WHEN YOUR FACE IS SQUARE Characteristics: Angular jaw, square brow, both nearly the same width. The Goal:Soften the sharp jaw angle and minimize your squared brow line.
Your style should lift off your forehead. If you brush it forward at the temples and jaw line, it will lend your face shape some necessary narrowness and softness. You can wear wispy bangs. Your face goes perfectly with asymmetrical styles, so all you remaining die-hard ‘80s new wave fans can happily stay in your element and look great doing so, as some of these styles are back in vogue with a softer edge. We’ll stop the world and melt with you. Walk away – we’ll follow.
WHEN YOUR FACE IS OVAL Characteristics: Perfectly symmetrical. The Goal:Don’t worry, be happy.
Lucky girl! The Oval face is the “perfect” face shape. You can wear almost any hairstyle. For long styles, a classic look is a center or side part with hair touching your shoulders. A short, layered look with curls and a close extended nape would work nicely too. Long, short, up, or in your face – they all look just right with your perfectly symmetrical face shape. Just don’t let it
go to your head.
