Our Salon News...
We had a Great September and We welcome the Brisk Air and Beautiful Foilage that comes with Fall..
Just some new items for us, We brought on the Keratin Treatments & Keratin Express Blowouts to provide our clients with an option for a smoothing treatment that helpls with frizz and hair control. We talk about what Keratin is in this issue.
We hear it to often when our clients say they can't seem to get the right blowdry done at home on there own, so we helped to remind those that we do provide just Blow Dry Services. See W Specials in our magazine for the flyer for $35 Blow Outs.
We are also bringing NIOXIN which uses advanced technologies to deliver thicker, fuller, denser-looking hair. Ask Your Stylist on your next visit if this is a solution for you.
Additionally, We had some great events in September, We showcased our First Annual "Rock The Look" Beauty and Fashion Show at the Burke Festival & Feathered Up the Party for Betsey Johnson at Tysons Galleria... --->
We are also Pleased to Welcome New Additions to our Salon Family! Anita Pachecho (Acctg Asst) & Liz Tran (Mktg Asst). In addition to those roles, they are also Salon Coordinators that will greet you with a smile on your visit!
That's it for now.

Benefits of Massage!
There are a number of benefits to be gained from massage therapy. Once thought of as a luxury that most people could not afford to indulge in, it has become a very beneficial component of maintaining a healthy lifestyle.Massage is still thought of by many as an alternative type of medical treatment, and unfortunately some still believe that it is a pampering activity rather than one that provides tremendous benefits to the body. The reality, however, is that massage therapy can be an extremely powerful tool that can help you to lead a healthier life when it is done correctly.More research continues to be done regarding the many health benefits of massage therapy, but health care professionals are already aware that when done with the proper technique, massage offers people help or relief from a variety of ailments.•Blood pressure maintenance•Stress relief•Chronic pain•Injuries that are sports related•Giving your immune system a boost•Stiffness•Management of depression and anxiety•Cancer treatmentTypes of MassageThere are a variety of different types of massage, but the most common ones include the following:1. Swedish Massage most people who get regular massages choose this type, as it helps to relax the body and re-energize muscles and tissues.2. Sports Massage This type is very similar in nature to Swedish massage, but it primarily targets people who are involved in sports activities to prevent or treat certain types of injuries.3. Trigger Point MassageTight muscles and sensitive areas can benefit from this type of massage. It is particularly useful after muscles have been overused or injured.4. Deep Tissue MassageThis type of massage primarily targets deep layers of tissue and muscles. It is often used to help repair damage that is the result of an injury.Whatever Type of Massage you need, Jong is on hand and ready to help consult you before your visit. Every day except Wednesday and Thursday; when he's off. Stop in for a Quick 30 Minute Massage for $45! What a bargain, no contracts, no monthly fees. You make the time.

Just a Thought...
When You Smile...
There's lots of research that suggests if you smile, even in a fake way, it will indirectly lift your mood - which makes you feel safe and relaxed.
Its an obvious, clichéd, and can be annoying to hear but as the saying goes, "Smile and the world smiles with you!" I believe that smiling is powerful. It disarms situations and produces an almost primal reaction in other people. In other words, smiling is infectious. Finally, others are drawn to those who smile, making it easier for people to feel positive around you...Singer - Bruno Mars states it so well in the lyrics to this song. "When you smile... The whole world stops and stares for awhile..."
Give This a Listen. It's one of My Fav Songs.

Keratin Treatments.....
Keratin treatment was specifically formulated to smooth coarse, curly and frizzy hair that is hard to straighten, and its a perfect solution for hair that tends to react to humidity or heat. This unique treatment is especially helpful if you have dry, brittle and unruly hair that resists holding a set.Keratin-based coating will give your hair a silky-smooth and shiny finish and will make the hair surprisingly easy to style.Keratin can be found in skin, hair, nails, teeth, wool and hooves. When it comes to hair, if you damage the outer layer of keratin, you hair look dry, brittle, and overall unhealthy. What Keratin treatment does it smooths and protects hair shaft by coating the hair follicle. The second layer of your hair, called Cortex, is changing after the bonds of keratin are applied. Keratin changes the structure of your hair on the inside of the hair shaft, and on the outside of the hair follicle it bonds and locks into place.Keratin treatment will make unruly hair silky-smooth and easy to style if done properly. Thus reducing your daily styling time drastically. Keratin also adds brilliant shine to dull hair. You will see how much healthier and shinier your hair will look.Should I try the Keratin Express Treatment? Keratin Express is one of the newest, fast growing smoothing treatment services provided in Professional Salons. This service takes less time and its simpler than the majority of smoothing treatments. The results are long-lasting (4 to 6 weeks). This treatment is perfect for colored hair, it locks in the color, repairs damaged hair, prolongs vitality and heals hair, reduces frizz and detangles your hair all without formaldehyde.This amazing treatment contains exclusive Cyprosil Complex, it reduces processing and finishing time by up to 75%! Cyprosil Complex produces immediate shine and conditioning effect. Average processing time is 35 minutes on average length and density of hair.. So What is the Cost to Get Hair That I've always wanted? W Salon offers FREE consultations for Keratin Treatments. Come in for 10 Minutes and speak to our Styilists who perform this Service.
