Online shopping for professional products

A lot of clients these days do most of their shopping online. Most professional products I have used and sold through out my career were traditionally only available to purchase at the salon. If we didn't have it in stock, we would have to order it for you. In the past few years that has changed a lot. You can now buy almost anything your are looking for from the comfort of your couch. I want to talk about some precautions to take. 

Most high end hair care lines do not just distribute to anyone. They have pretty tight control over who can sell their products. The products are only guaranteed if you purchased them from a professional. When you find your favorite product on big shopping sites at a discount, the product is highly likely to be counter fit, damaged, or old. If it is to good to be true than it is a risk. 

A huge leap in the industry recently is companies setting up online shopping through the hairstylist. We can now give you a personalized website to shop for your favorite products and guide you along the way. It does not have to be shipped twice, it is guaranteed, and everyone wins. Shop with the confidence that you are getting authentic, quality products and making sure your favorite small businesses are still taken care of at the same time.  

I would love to discuss further at your next appointment.

The power of scent: How Kevin Murphy hair products can lift you up.

As a stylist, I'm always on the lookout for products that not only work well but also smell great. That's why I've been particularly impressed with Kevin Murphy's line of hair care products, which feature unique scent profiles that can enhance your over all salon experience. 

Let's start with the Angel Wash shampoo and conditoner. These products are designed to give your hair a weightless, voluminous look, but they also feature a refreshing scent profile of green apple, tea rose, and lemon. The green apple provides a crisp clean scent that can energize and uplift your mood, while the tea rose adds a soft, floral note that can create a sense of calm and relaxation. The lemon rounds out the scent profile with a tangy, citrusy aroma that can provide a refreshing burst of energy.

Moving on to Hydrate-Me Wash shampoo and conditioner, these products are infused with a scent profile of gardenia, ylang ylang, and geranium. The gardenia provides a sweet floral aroma that can evoke feelings of romance and sensuality, while the ylang-ylang adds a warm spicy note that can provide a sense of comfort and relaxation. The geranium rounds out the scent profile with a fresh, herbaceous aroma that can create a sense of balance and stability. 

Another stand out product is the Kevin Murphy's Shimmer Shine spray, which is designed to give your hair a radiant, glossy finish. This product is infused with a scent profile of patchouli and ylang-ylang, which provide a warm, earthy aroma that can create a sense of grounding and stability. The patchouli adds a deep, musky note that can evoke feelings of sensuality and passion, while the ylang-ylang adds a warm floral note that relaxes and comforts you. I love it on a warm summer night. 

Lastly, let's talk about Kevin Murphy Bedroom hair. It is everyone's favorite product and I can barely keep in on the shelves. It is designed to give your hair a "lived-in" look with flexible hold. This product features a scent profile of patchouli and lavender, which provides a warm, calming aroma that can create a sense of peace.

At my salon, I am always looking for ways to enhance the overall experience for my clients, and the scents in all the products I carry are just one way to do that. By incorporating unique scent profiles into our daily routines, we can create a more enjoyable and fulfilling experience that can positively impact our overall wellbeing. 

So next time you visit me, take a deep breath end enjoy the invigorating scents of Kevin Murphy's products! You can shop for all the products I carry on the Beauty Shopping Page and always reach out if your have any questions!
