Pattie and Christina recently attend the international haircolor exchange in Scottsdale, Arizona this quick two day trip has our color ideas ready to share. Pattie and Sarah will be spending 4 days in New York at the Redken Exchange in October where the training is incredible! Fall Trend Report By Corinna and Julie Fringe is back in a big way. For a new twist on your haircut, consult your stylist whether the look for you is a full retro bang, textured fringe or an eye-veiling fringe. You can update your look with strong edges containing lots of movement and texture or spice up a one-length haircut with shattered edges for a very modern appeal. New Services P e d i c u r e Introducing our Hot Stone Pedicure. Natural stones become an extension of the hand delivering relief to weary legs and feet. You begin with a soothing foot soak. Next your feet are thoroughly exfoliated with a self heating scrub. Smooth warm stones are then massaged into your feet and legs, rubbing out tension in an experience like no other. Finally a silky lotion is applied leaving you invigorated and ready to walk out into the world again. Healthy hair is always in style. At State of Mind we offer the best in salon treatments customized for your specific needs. Softness and volume are setting the trends for beautifully styled hair everywhere you look. Girlish spirals and glamorous waves paired with a smooth crown create a soft sexy look. You can achieve this look by enhancing your natural texture for an easy, modern hairstyle.

Brighten up existing blonde with tones of deep honey or caramel which will create shadows and movement giving the hair dimension. Multi-faceted colors add vibrance to the hair. Keep highlights skinny for added softness (straight lines look hard to the eye). Adding splashes of color on the underlayers or drizzles of hazelnut, cinnamon or cherry will give your brunette locks flavor. a.com Where in the World is Pam?

I never sit in this chair. I stand behind it, around it and in front of it, but never in it. I decided to help answer some of the most common questions asked by the guests who sit in my chair. A established a mentoring program for our new stylists, you may have already met Erin and Mindy. They are licensed cosmetologists who train in class with Corinna and myself 6 hours a week. They assist us throughout the day and are amazing at shampooing our guests. I often answer the question “do I tip them?” We do take care of them, however if they exceed your expectations feel free to show your appreciation, but it certainly is not expected. From behind the chair What if I want to try a different stylist? We are a great team and work well together, so if you would like a fresh point of view or to try a different service provider, we will not be offended. We stand true to our mission “its all about the guest.” As we continue to grow we have We are grateful for the feedback we get about our work. Please call me if you have a suggestion.

Give yourself plenty of time before your massage to shower and relax in our heated chairs by the fireplace. Warm muscles will benefit from bodywork. Second: (UN)dress the part. Undress completely and just wear your robe to your massage. You will be able to take your robe off and cover yourself in privacy. You will be draped with a sheet throughout the entire service. We are professional and respect your modesty. Third: Talk with your therapist. Discuss which areas you would like to focus on during your massage. Let the therapist know if you feel any discomfort. Communication is the way to get the massage you want. Q: What is a deep massage? A: Our multi talented staff is devoted to giving you the massage that satisfies your needs. Remember deep does not mean better and receiving a deep therapeutic massage should not cause you pain. Relax, close your eyes and allow your mind and body to be quiet. Breath deep. Remember this time is for you.
