A shift in the seasons can leave hair stressed out and looking dull.

With the weather cooling down this fall, it’s downright hazardous to your health to leave the house with wet hair in the frigid morning air. Wouldn’t you love to have effortlessly manageable locks and the freedom to blow dry your hair smooth in a fraction of the time you currently spend? Make your mornings hassle free just in time for the busy holiday season with a Brazilian Blowout!

This is the ONLY professional smoothing treatment that improves the health of the hair with No Damage! and No harsh chemicals! Through the use of a Brazilian Super Nutrient Complex and a proprietary polymer system, the Brazilian Blowout actually improves the condition of the hair by creating a protective protein layer around the hair shaft to eliminate frizz and smooth the cuticle. The end result is smooth, healthy, frizz-free hair with radiant shine! 

Results of the treatment are immediate and last 14 or more weeks on average hair when maintained at home using the proper cleansing and hydrating products. Take advantage of our October Deal and you can get those products for FREE! This special offer is an $80 value and will ensure the longevity of your amazing new style.

This deal is only valid for appointments that are booked through 10/31/2012, so call or go online to schedule your treatment TODAY, and put an end to bad hair days!

In an age driven by the World Wide Web, you can find almost anything you need with a quick visit to Google. I remember just a couple of years ago I heard the word “blog” and was clueless as to what it meant, but was sure it would never be relevant to me. Now there are folks out there who make their living by disseminating information into the blogosphere, and I appreciate them more and more every day for the ease in which I can get the news that I crave.

Recently, one of my favorite websites, fashionista.com, posted a collection of hair tips and tricks of style bloggers from around the world. If there’s one thing they all agreed on, it’s that their hair is the very best, make-it-or-break-it accessory. Click on the photo below to read the full article and to score some tricks to add to your own hair styling repertoire.

I am so pleased to introduce you to the newest members of the Alter Ego family: Kari Ellis and Becca Thieme! Together they have over 25 years experience in the industry, and are both very passionate about the art and science of hairdressing. Check back to the Our Talent page on our website soon to see their stylist profiles!

With our new additions come many exciting changes, including extended business hours which are listed on our Contact Us page. We are now open every day except Sunday, which means more opportunities that we can better serve you!

We are also proud to be offering our new All-Nutrient haircolor system which is formulated with a natural base of vegetable oils and keratin protein, is made with Certified Organics and Renewable Rainforest Resources, and is manufactured in the USA.

All-Nutrient’s Maximum Pigment System utilizes a double pigment system that ensures longer lasting haircolor which creates more dimension, more depth and much less fading. The multi-dimensional molecular structure of their Microprotein System allows the color to thoroughly penetrate all levels of the hair shaft, making it last much longer while keeping the hair healthier. This complex system remains the best possible 100% vegan hair keratin based color line with no animal by products.

These changes are just the first of more to come in the following months, so make sure to “like” us on Facebook to stay up-to-date with upcoming promotions.

Please have a safe St. Paddy’s Day weekend, enjoy our unseasonably warm weather and as always, have a great hair day!
