Thoughts on the importance of purchasing professional products from an authorized salon, rather than purchasing them elsewhere.

Many of us have come across professional name-brand hair, nail, skin and make-up products in places that really shouldn't be carrying them.  Whether you're in a store or browsing online, purchasing these products (which are truly only legally able to be sold in authorized salons and stores) is not a worthwhile investment.  You are running the risk of using a diluted, contaminated, defective, or altogether different product in the guise of the familiar packaging.  Thoughts of what may be lurking in there, or where the bottles were exhumed could keep a person awake at night!  Yuck.

When you purchase a product from your salon, it has come from the manufacturer to the salon.  This is a safe and ethical way to purchase your products, because they are backed by the company. Your stylist, esthetician, and nail technician uses their knowledge to guide you toward the products that will work for your specific needs, and you can rest assured that you are actually getting the quality that you're paying for.

In addition, professional products are often concentrated, and therefore, a little goes a long way.  This saves you money in the end, while not compromising quality.  Stay informed and stay smart, dear clients!  At Your Escape Salon, we proudly carry a wide array of excellent products:

*Paul Mitchell (including the fabulous Forever Blonde, Awapuhi, and Curl lines)

*Moroccanoil

*Keratin Complex

*Malibu

*Footlogix

*The Naked Bee

Got Velcro Feet? Footlogix Has A Solution!

What are Velcro feet you ask?  Ya know when your feet are snagging the sheets, and they make that awful ripping sound as you're trying to get comfy and drift off to dreamland?  Case in point.  Perhaps you have a nail fungus that has plagued you for a while, but you are not interested in going the dangerous oral medication route.  Or maybe you have mild to severe cracking in your heels that lotions just don't clear up. You might be prone to athlete's foot and have an overabundance of moisture in your feet.  Whatever your issue, Footlogix has a solution. 

Urea is the main ingredient in their products. It is a natural end product of protein metabolism, and is an important component of the body's natural moisturizing factor.  Because of this, it allows the cells to absorb and retain additional moisture without forming a greasy layer on top of the skin.



Before and after shots from the www.footlogix.com website

We have personally seen amazing results like the ones in the pictures above within our own salon.  For instance, one of our regular clients who is a nurse has suffered from painful, cracked heels for years.  In fact, the deeply cracked heels in the first picture above could have been a picture of her feet before becoming loyal to the Footlogix products. She gets pedicures regularly with us in addition to using the Footlogix 3 Extra and 7 at home, and her feet have transformed. 

Another client's son developed ringworm while participating in football at his school and tried various prescribed medications that didn't work.  He started using the Footlogix 7, which is an anti-fungal formula, and it cleared up!  We have also seen great success with the Footlogix Tincture in terms of clearing up all too common nail fungi.

Our Footlogix pedicures are effective and theraputic, and we proudly offer the entire Footlogix line of products for retail.  Let us help you ring in the Spring and Summer with beautiful, happy, healthy feet!
