FROM 'THE MASTER ARTISAN' PK'S CORNER PRESENTS, 'How to Lifeguard Your Hair...''

One of the challenges of summer is that, in spite of all we do to protect our skin and hair from the potential damage of the sun, our hair stresses out as a result of the effects of chlorine and other chemicals from swimming pools as well as salt water at the beach. 

Clarifying Shampoo Treatment by PK Professional is a deep cleansing shampoo that does more than just wash your hair. Clarifying Shampoo Treatment reaches deep into the hair to help neutralize chlorine and remove minerals. It cleanses hair of all build-up, coatings and oils while helping to prevent and repair chlorine damage. Clarifying Shampoo Treatment moisturizes dry, brittle hair. Use it before and after chlorine exposure. Follow up with an instant or deep conditioner and your hair will look like you spent all day in the salon instead of lounging by the pool. This shampoo helps prevents oxidation and, like all of our shampoos, is color safe. Yet, despite its intense deep cleansing properties, Clarifying Shampoo Treatment is mild enough to use as your regular shampoo. It's a must have all year round for swimmers and other athletes as well as those who have well water that contain various mineral deposits. http://www.pksalon.com/store/shampoo.html#leader3

Clarifying Shampoo Treatment is a great example of a product that combines the best of nature and science to neutralize the effects of chlorine, protect color, create shine, strengthen, smooth and provide moisture.  

Clarifying Shampoo Treatment can be used as a treatment under a plastic cap for 10-15 minutes for enhanced benefits. It's great for the scalp. http://www.pksalon.com/salon/hair_sculp.html

Clarifying Shampoo Treatment by PK Professional  helps you maintain healthier hair all year round.

Whisper. Scream. Shout. Three active verbs,

connoting sound and emotion—shorthand for

the story of this collection.

The silhouettes in this collection are defined by

color—delicate ‘whisper’ blondes, elegant reds,

and finally, expensive jewel tones that scream

with intensity. The interplay between cut and

color infuses each look with life.

A Wall Street broker. A writer. A matron with

a penchant for haute couture. An avant-garde

model. Each client is an individual, with her own

voice. We must develop a range of styles to

match her unique lifestyle statement.

Our gift is to be able to project the client’s

voice through the medium of our expertise.

It’s how we add value to our services. A client

who leaves the salon with color that could have

come out of a box or a cookie-cutter style is a

misused opportunity.

As artists, we must be able to whisper, shout

and even scream, depending on the statement

the client wants to make.

CUT it may sound conterintuitive, but getting ends blunt-trimmed every 5 weeks will keep your hair healthier and keep you looking your best while you grow into having lengthier locks. Keeping layers skillfully shaped by your Paul Kenneth Designer can also create an illusion of longer hair when the layers blend smoothly. And stay positive. Think of the growing-out process as an adventure, not an ordeal. With eac inch of growth you'll have the chance to explore new style options at every salon visit.  You may even discover a style you absolutely love before you reach your full length goal. http://www.pksalon.com/salon/hairdesign.html

COLOR modern hair coloring formulas do much more than change the color of your hair- they also act as conditioning treatments, which improves the quality and beauty of your tresses in many ways. Here are just a few benefits of hair color...    http://www.pksalon.com/salon/coloring.html
          Better Body: Hair color fills in and plumps the hair shaft, which adds an impression of volume and dimension.
         Shine and Texture: Color helps to seal the cuticle on each stand of hair, making it look glossier and feel silkier, with more bounce and swing.

    The Wow Factor: The best hair color for you is one that does the most to compliment your facial features, skin tone and eye color.  Your Paul Kenneth Designer will consult with you on our many color options, from the subtle: a few brightening highlights or a subdued shift in your natural color-to the sensational: a distinct color change or a dramatic weaving of shades and tones. Whatever color direction you choose, you'll find your hair will be better for it- stronger, healthier, easier to style. 

CONDITION Fact: the further away hair is from your scalp, the more fragile it becomes. The longest few inches are the most prone to dryness, breaking and developing split ends. Not to worry. Paul Kenneth's cache of corrective salon conditioning treatments focuses in on whatever your hair needs to be stronger, shinier, and healthier from roots to ends. You're investing mega effort into growing your hair, so protecting  your investment is absolutely essential.  http://www.pksalon.com/salon/hair_sculp.html#corrective

Talk to your Paul Kenneth Designer about treatment options. They will be happy to evaluate your hair and recommend the right one for you.  Choices range from our ten minute damage control to complete repair and restructuring of your hair with our very own Keratin Smoothing Treatments.

CARE How to treat your hair on a daily basis has a direct affect on its growth potential. The right professional shampoo, conditioner and styling formulas for your hair type will help you keep the upper hand with your hair as it grows to the length you want.

I spend a fair amount of time in airports and shopping malls, which gives me ample opportunity to people watch.

Then the growing process can be a journey of discovery, rather than an endless ordeal of bobby pins, bad ponytails and ball caps...that whatever your growth goal, The Paul Kenneth Designers can help you love the way you look every inch of the way.---PK  (http://www.pksalon.com/makeovers.html)

FROM 'THE MASTER ARTISAN' PK'S CORNER PRESENTS, 'Tips to Keep Hair Shiny...''

Glossy, shiny, luscious locks are definitely a goal worth striving for and can make a world of a difference not only in how you look, but how you feel about yourself. Believe it or not, it's not all about the products (though they are important)- it's the little things that make a big difference when it comes to locks that are silky smooth as opposed to coarse and dull. Read on for some amazing shine-enhancing tips brought to you by PK Professional stylists from the Paul Kenneth Salon & Spa.

Tanya's Tips: - Rinse with cooler water after shampooing to close the hair cuticle.
- Use your cool shot button on your dryer to smooth the cuticle when you're finished drying.

Nina's Tips -When you blow-dry your hair, go from roots to ends. if you don't, it will make your hair frizzy and can damage the cuticle.
- Use an oil-based product to add shine & protection, like (Moroccan, Bassu or Aragon).
- If hair is starting to look dull, visit your PK Professional Colorist and get a clear color glaze

Paul Kenneth.....
-For brunettes, Instead of glazing with a clear, I like to glaze using a shade that is two shades lighter than what is there. Use a very warm shade because warm shades reflect more light than cool shades which absorb light.
- Wash hair less and CONDITION, CONDITION, CONDITION! It is so important to condition. Use a deep conditioner at least once a week and leave it in over night for the best result.  Any healthy, shiny hair starts with great conditioned hair!

FROM 'THE MASTER ARTISAN' PK'S CORNER PRESENTS, 'Tips to protect your investment...''

Protect your investment in your hairstyle

Hair color services at The Paul Kenneth Salon vary widely in price depending on each client's needs, but as a client, don't you want to make the most of your investment?  Paul Kenneth's products are formulated to protect your color to keep it bright and vibrant for as long as possible. 

Professional hair products use concentrated formulas

While all hair products contain some percentage of water, store brand products are highly diluted, to the point that it takes much more product to get the job done.  It takes only one fourth the amount of Paul Kenneth's products to get a similar result from store brand products.  Also, products that contain high quantities of water will have high quantities of salt as well -- you may see it on the label under several different names (including sodium chloride), but the bottom line is that salts are drying and damaging to the hair cuticle.  The salts used in these products are thickening agents, which give the appearance of a thicker consistency to make up for the high water content, but in the end the consumer ends up paying for an inferior product which does not improve the health of their hair.   Paul Kenneth's products, on the other hand, are concentrated and never contain damaging ingredients, so you are able to use less product AND improve the health of your hair -- a win-win situation!

Gluten-free hair products

For those who suffer from Celiac disease or gluten intolerances or allergies in the Boston area, it is a challenge to find hair care products suitable for these conditions.  For those affected, ingesting gluten can lead to reactions that range from uncomfortable to downright dangerous.  The skin is the largest organ of the human body, and it absorbs everything you put on it -- even hair products that touch your scalp, especially shampoo and conditioner.  Although it's not extremely common, severe reactions of gluten allergies have led to hair thinning or falling out at an alarming rate.  A good rule of thumb is if you can't put gluten IN your body, you shouldn't put it ON your body either.  Paul Kenneth's products provide the perfect solution to this problem, whether you have suffered from a gluten-related reaction or simply wish to prevent any future problems.

Paul Kenneth's products are animal-friendly

Many of Paul Kenneth's products are 100% vegan, containing no animal products or by-products.  And Paul Kenneth's NEVER tests products on animals.

Professional recommendations

All of the above facts are great reasons why you should try Paul Kenneth's hair care products.  But perhaps the most important rule of thumb is to listen to your stylist.  Your stylist at Paul Kenneth Salon's is a licensed professional and has trained with cosmetic chemists to understand what ingredients are in the products we offer.  They combine this knowledge with their understanding of your specific hair type to recommend the products that will give you the results you are looking for.

Have you tried any of the products in Paul Kenneth's hair care line?  Which is your favorite?
