A New Colour

Your Daymakers are continually updating their skills and craft. Recently they received training on Davines' A New Colour. It's an ammonia free color line.

Here's what Davines is saying about the new line and the inspiration behind it.

Inspired by the multi-coloured world of insects with their sublime amalgamation of shapes, colours and light, and the scientific potential of carotenoids and melanins, Davines has turned the world of colouring upside down for salons, at last offering a way to work with pure colour and transform it into brand new results, with maximum comfort for customers and full respect for the hair’s structure.

Check out the beautiful results on our model, Meliza. And here's a link to the full news release from Davines about A New Colour: http://news.davines.com/en/2012/03/14/a-new-colour/

Product of the Week: Davines Rebalancing Shampoo

Davines' Rebalancing Shampoo is for oily scalps. It promotes the natural balance oil production of the scalp. Gently massage the shampoo into the scalp and let it air for several minutes before rinsing. The shampoo contains Azelglycine, which has anti-bacterial and sebostatic properties; it also regulates sebum production. With extracts of Birch, Burdock, and Hawthorn this shampoo purifies the scalp.

Product of the Week: Invisible Styling Cream

Not quite a miracle, but pretty darn close! Invisible Styling Cream is a wearable treatment for your hair. It strengthens your hair without that feeling of having product in your hair. You get a natural soft hold.

Stop by and get some today. You'll be so thankful! Healthy, beautiful hair is yours!

Product of the Week

This week we are spotlighting the Davines Defining Texturizer.

The spray in product will give you volume all the way to your roots without leaving any residue. It gives you body and hold without heaviness. This product is heat activated, so use your blow dryer. Defining Texturizer will also restore your hair to its best state.

Come in this week and get some of this amazing product!

Treat(ment) Yourself

Are you finding that there are issues with your hair that just don't seem to resolve themselves no matter what you do? I know it's frustrating for me when I'm using the right shampoo, conditioner, and product but still find that my hair is uncontrollable. One of the things I've added to my hair care is a scalp treatment.

There are five different scalp treatments to choose from that have very their own specific value.

Purifying- To alleviate flaky dry scalp due to dandruff

Energizing- Aids healthy hair growth by encouraging blood flow to the scalp

Awakening- An aromatherapy treatment designed to Awaken you and your scalp with an aromatic oil blend

Relaxing- An aromatherapy treatment designed to Relax you and your scalp with an aromatic oil blend

Royal Jelly- A nourishing treatment designed to revitalize the hair with a perfect balance of proteins, carbohydrates, lipids and biotin.

My favorite is the Relaxing. Those weeks when everything is just pressing in and I want to scream, going in and treating my soul and hair to this just makes it all more manageable.

When was the last time you invested in yourself in this way? Isn't it time to do so?

Volume?!? Yes Please!!!

We'd like to welcome the newest member to Davines' Essentials family, Volu (short for volumizing)!!! Infused with ingredients like hop extract and hazelnut extract, Volu has the ability to give you volume and shine like no other shampoo and conditioner can. Add to your regimine Volu spray and triple your chances of having the healthiest, softest and most voluminous hair you've ever had!!

Be sure to ask you favorite Daymaker if this is something you should add to your daily routine!!

Oi!!! It's here!!!

It's here!! It's here!!! This amazing, beautiful and wonderful product is finally available here at Embellish!!

Many have fallen in love with Oi, a beautifying potion for all hair types, not only because it smells like heaven but it's ability to make hair feel like it's been kissed by angels. If you think I'm exaggerating, ask your favorite Daymaker if this product is right for you then next time you sit in one of our chairs.

Oi?!? Oi!!!

Oi....

Absolute beautifying potion

OI/OIL, a refined multi-functional oil for universal use which is the perfect combination of treatment and styling in a single product that provides immediate results.

You may have noticed that we stopped carrying Moroccan Oil and haven't carried if for quite some time. We've found it wasn't maintaining the quality of hair that we strive for here at Embellish so we've been patiently waiting for something to replace it.

Well... Davines has answered our prayers and has developed a new tool for us to use to achieve the promises of Moroccan Oil with Davines results!! Oi/Oil is a new product set to hit our shelves very soon so for now we're stuck with the one bottle that Davines sent us to try out and fall in love with. If you've had the opportunity to have hair annointed with Oi, have no fear it's on it's way from Italy and we'll be sure to let you know the day it hits our shelves. For those of you who haven't had the chance to experience Oi, ask your favorite Daymaker if it's something that's good to add to your repetior!!
