How You Can Determine Your Face Shape

Heart shapedNo two faces are the same, each and everyone of us has a unique beauty that should be framed with a gorgeous style! What style best brings out YOUR beauty? That depends on the shape of your face. Have you figured out what kind of shape your face is? Well, this might be a good idea to know and understand because it can help your appearance.

Take a head-and-shoulders photo of yourself while your hair is pulled back away from your face and hairline. Make sure the photo shows the full width of your shoulder-span to put your face shape and position into perspective. Then take a red permanent marker and draw neatly and directly along the outline of your face in the photo. Hold it next to the diagram of face shape samples to determine which face shape you have. Most of us are combinations, but this will serve as a general guide.

SquareThen examine (you can do this initially with your stylist if it makes you more comfortable) the following descriptions of which styles could be most flattering to your face shape and shoulder-span and most conducive to your lifestyle, and which colors might be most complementary to your skin tone. Use this as a basis to explore further styling options.

To give you a better idea of styles that will suit your face shape, check out my post Determine Your Face Shape.

Pam Found a Solution for Female Pattern Hair Loss

JP_PamBeforeAfter_8_28_13

“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.

RomdGndhpXTuCJk6N40YJtUCxw10lyBebUer8KD1unMConsultation:

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.

Cindy Found a Solution for Hereditary Hair Loss

JP_CindyBeforeAfter_8_14_13

“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:CRRGo1C_MfbVT1x3rQnmu50dQN4lNUFqSaGNPQtmlbU

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 Want Salon Soft Hair?

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.

As an extra little bonus my video also shows you the keys to applying Protein Treatment and Moisturizing Conditioner the right way.

Judy Found a Solution for Female Pattern Hair Loss

Judy2“I feel great! I feel energetic, younger, lively and I feel like I have a new lease on life! I feel like myself again.” – Judy

At the young age of 53, Judy had already experienced hair loss twice. First when she was diagnosed with small cell lung cancer and had to endure radiation and chemotherapy. That time, she was lucky enough to have her hair grew back. Then Judy had to go through radiation and lost her hair again. Unfortunately, this time it never fully came back, and as someone working in the public eye, she was concerned that people could see her scalp.

VAD1dkLvr-ZadllYQ-EFVyt9Wny4R1x_vS25AY3MvAsConsultation:

Judy came to my salon to see what could be done about her hair loss.  Our first step was an extensive consultation that included options for hair and color, a patch test for skin sensitivity and options for personal styling.

Which Products Do I Use – Why? (Part 2)

product2

Protein, Protein, Protein! Every product today seems to talk about protein. Why is this and are all proteins created equally?

Hair is made up of 97% protein. So protein in hair is extremely important especially when it comes to repairing damaged hair. Think of hair as being very similar to a road… the smoother the road the better. 9 out of every 10 guests who come in, both at my salon as well as at all salons, have some form of damaged hair and thus all of those guests desperately need protein in their hair.

image005

Damaged hair is caused by a few different factors including: mechanical stress factors (hot styling tools), chemical stress factors (color services) and climatic stress factors (sun/chlorine). With this damage the hair is left dry, tangled and broken. By placing the right protein into the hair the protein acts to repair hair and make hair once again smooth.

There are two factors I looked at when formulating my Beautiful Hair Protein Treatment: Type of Protein (size of molecule) & Percentage of Protein. These two factors determine how long it will take for the protein to work as well as how much repair will be made to the hair.

For my Protein Treatment we used the highest quality Silk Amino Acid Protein. Here are the three most commonly used proteins found in products.

What’s Holding You Back?


 

Last week, I took my team at Jeffrey Paul Salon out for a Team building day. We took a day off work, rented some bikes and rode on a path in a beautiful area of town. Throughout the ride we took turns sending each team member from the back to the front and cheered them on. Most of my team does not ride and some had not been on a bike for almost 30 years. At the end of the day we told everyone we had gone 13 miles. They could not believe it!

A few days later one of my team members emailed me this, “I would never have dreamed I could do such a thing (ride 13 miles). For so many years I’ve been told ‘I can’t.’ Thank you for finally telling me ‘I can!’”

Not only is this truly inspirational to me, but it also reminds me of the story of how they train elephants. Watch this video and ask yourself, “What’s holding me back?”

Vicki Found the Solution for Early Stage Hair Loss

Vicki Solution to Hair Loss

“My experience with this whole process has been amazing! I can’t tell you how much my self esteem is up and how happy this has made me. It just means so much!” –Vicki

Vicki, a very good friend of mine, was at a crossroads. The 55 year old dental assistant had tried finding solutions to her hair thinning and loss – including wigs. But nothing seemed to give her the natural look she wanted. She made a choice to get a professional assessment of her hair thinning and loss and to find solutions that would work for her.

vicki_consultation

Consultation:

At my Salon, the first step, for Vicki, was to meet with one of my  consultants who evaluated her hair as well as her thinning and loss. We use two categories when defining the level of hair loss. First is diffusion, which indicates the percentage of thinning. Next is the pattern, which includes the extent of the thinning area. 

Cathy’s Solution for Thinning Hair!

Screen Shot 2013-07-17 at 4.40.15 PMThere 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.

For The Hair of Your Life, Know the Life of Your Hair!

Paul-Figure02-06-1No matter the number of hairs you may have on your head or your hair’s texture, healthy, normal hair has a regular grow-shed cycle of about 80 to 100 hairs a day, so a certain amount of “fall out” is a natural occurrence.

When everything is going as it should, there are three stages of the grow-shed cycle. The first is the anagen stage, which lasts from two to six years. During this stage, hair is firmly seated in the hair follicle, getting plenty of nourishment, and growing at a rate of one quarter to one half an inch per month. This happens with more frequency in our youth, and lessens as we age.

“More than 85% of scalp hair is in this phase at any time,” says dermatologist Dr. Wilma Bergfeld, head of dermatology research at the Cleveland Clinic in Cleveland, Ohio. So, most of our hair is constantly in the process of feeding and growing.

“My Hair Never Looks Like When My Stylist Does It!”

This is the biggest complaint that salons and hair stylists hear all over the world. We have heard this complaint and are doing something about it!

This Tuesday, May 21st at 6:00pm we will be taking 25 guests through a hands on training of not only how to prepare their hair for styling, but also how to create the finished looks that they want and get when they leave the salon.

What’s the Big Deal? It’s Only Hair, right?

Hair Loss

Hair loss can be devastating, in fact, one-in-four women will experience some form of hair thinning or hair loss during their lifetime. Whether it’s a result of genetics, health issues, medication, stress or other factors, the impact of hair loss is significant to a sense of self.

Why? Because hair is attached to more than the follicles in the scalp. It is attached to emotions, personality, confidence and the way you feel about yourself and how you interact with the world. It is the “crowning glory” to that individual look you call your own.

If you are experiencing the early stages of age-related hair thinning and loss, there are several options you can consider that will help divert attention away from the issue.
