I want it and I want it NOW!!!!

We have a tendency to want things NOW when we decide we are ready, RIGHT??? Color services are something that more than half of population are getting done. We hear about the latest and greatest techniques and styles. So how do we decide on what type of COLOR service to get??? I think I want an Ombre? I heard about Hair Painting, what is that? Should I get highlights or low lights? Well when it comes to figuring out just what you want or what to ask for keep in mind Pinterest is your friend. With that being said you have to know your hair. What do you mean by that Sue???  Well you have to understand some color services do not happen in one setting. “Rome was not built in a day.” Of course I am not sure who quoted that first but lets give a moment to appreciate a great quote! We all see photos of Guy Tang’s amazing work. Guy Tang!!!

He has an Instagram account and he post videos on You Tube ! 

Some of his guests spend up to 8 hours sitting in his chair to create the look they want. I know most do not have that kind of time. That’s where the multiple services come into play. I always advise if you can wait 2 weeks in between services to give the hair a rest and time to reconstruct with a great product like Redken’s Extreme. We also have Olaplex now and that product can help recondition the hair as it is being chemically treated. So with that being explained let enjoy a few beautiful hair colors created at Fringe!

Now keep in mind if you are going to get these services you need to make sure you have the right hair care to protect, repair, and keep your hair looking its best. Your stylist can give you the best recommendation. So thank you for taking the time to read our BLOG!

Beautiful hair is not cheap but cheap hair is not beautiful.

Why use color protecting shampoos/conditioners???

Here’s something think think about. You go out purchase the car or home of your dreams. EXCITING!!! Then you go the the insurance agent and make sure it’s insured “in case” something happens (I understand we all have to have it and I’m not knocking agents I love mine she’s GREAT) to your investment. You go to the salon and get an amazing color that looks phenomenal!!! You go to the front desk to pay and reserve your next appointment. Your stylist asks if you would like to pick up that in your words “amazing smelling shampoo”….Oh not today…. Well let me explain just what that “amazing smelling shampoo” does for you. It protects the service you just had done. It’s your insurance in case something were to happen to your hair color you just invested in. Another great reason to purchase your products from your stylist. They do your hair on a regular basis right? They make it look just they you want it right? They know just what you need!!!! Also when you purchase products from your stylist they receive benefits from that purchase. What does that mean? They get bonuses, education, and so much more. At Fringe we continue our education and are constantly keeping up with the trends so we can bring them to you. That also encludes product knowledge. So with that being out there I will leave you with a little product knowledge about our color protecting shampoo Color Extend by  REDKEN. Enjoy!!!

Hair today gone tomorrow!

Wands, smoothing, and curling irons OH MY!!! This ones for my lady guests. We tend to use lots of heat on our hair daily to create the hair we want. I know that back in the day these irons and such were not near as hot as what we use today. So in order to have the hair you do today tomorrow lets talk about heat protection. Some of the heat styling tools I use at Fringe hair salon can reach 450 degrees. I do not recommend any of my guests to use that high of temperature setting EVER! I always let my guest know to start out at a lower setting and move a little slower before rushing with a high setting and then going over the section over and over quickly ( like we all have done before). I also highly recommend some type of protection from the heat. Now if you get a smoothing iron that goes to 450 degrees and you plan on using that high of a setting there is nothing out there that will protect your hair from that high temperature so I suggest a lower setting. Fringe hair salon is a certified Redken salon and we carry all Redken’s hair care line. I would recommend if you blow dry and then use a hot tool on your hair to start with a cream heat protection like Satin Wear 02 by Redken. You apply a small amount to hair before you blow dry. Redken also has another heat protector call Duo Shield 06 that is applied before blow drying. We at Fringe hair salon use lots of the spray heat protectors before using a smoothing or curling iron for styling everyday hair and even formal hair styles. Redken has two spray protectors the first is Iron Shape 11 and the other is Hot Sets 22. Both of these products are sprayed throughout the hair before using your hot tool. One of the difference in each product Redken offers is the number. The number symbolizes the hold factor of the product lower the number the softer feel the higher the number the more hold it has.
Now we all know about heat protection and will not end up like the young lady making her hair tutorial where her hair falls off right? The service providers at Fringe hair salon in Sedalia want to make sure you know we love your hair just as much as you do and we take our job seriously. We continue our education with classes designed to further our knowledge in Redken and Pureology hair care products. Thank you for talking time to read the blog.

Hair Products what’s the BIG deal?!?!

Redken

Pureology

As a stylist for years my slogan when it came to selling a hair product was “I’m a stylist not a sales person!” Well little did I realize that almost 70% of my guest will leave the salon and go to wherever and purchase something “like” what I used on them. Fringe sales products that are designed to your hairs specific needs. Here is an example Sally wants a volume product and She goes to the store and pick one up and within a week of using this product her beautiful color that is only a week old is starting to fade. Sally will more than likely call her stylist and say “So I am not sure why but this time my color is just not looking like it did the last time.” For me I would start with these questions: “So Sally what are you shampooing with? What are you using to protect your hair from the heat your styling with if so what is it?” These are 2 of the most important products you can be using on your hair and if you’re not purchasing them from your stylist then your color service and or the condition of your hair can not be guaranteed by your stylist. Fringe uses products that are pH balanced for your specific hair needs and at Fringe we continue our education on the all the products we use. Keeping up on our education is important in the hair industry because it is constantly changing and it is important to stay educated on the latest trends. I had a conversation with a fellow stylist in my community about trying to sell products to my guest. She said “Susan you are the hair Doctor and the products are the Medicine. You don’t see people going to the Dr. and then just going out and buying what ever to get better???” So it got me thinking she is so right!!! I now have to speak up and at least give my guest the option of buying the products I use on them. Not all will want to purchase them and that is fine but the ones who will and are able to follow the simple steps on how to use them along with how to recreate the look I have given them will have a much easier time in doing so. We at Fringe have been educated in all Redken has to offer. As a stylist and a salon owner I feel that knowing what you are offering to a guest is the best way in presenting it so they know what is they are about to purchase. Fringe uses Redken color and we have all the hair care you are gong to need. Along with Redken Fringe has Pureology hair care products. As hair care professionals we are also up against black market products that are showing up on the shelves of our local retail stores. These products have been purchased from a 3rd party and sometimes are higher than you can purchase them at your salon. These products have sometimes more than likely been sitting around for a long time and are past their expiration date. Using a really old product is just as bad as using a product from your local retail stores. We guarantee all of products as well as our services at Fringe so if you are not totally satisfied with either feel free to let us know.

Support you salon and your stylist purchase you hair care from professionals.
