We are welcoming the Marula Oil line of products by Paul Mitchell to Your Escape Salon!

We are all thrilled with this new addition to our extensive retail offerings!  Marula oil hails from southern and eastern Africa, and is a product of the fruit of the marula tree.  The oil is full of oleic acids, powerful antioxidants and is cold-pressed to preserve the nutrients within.  The hydration, protection and replenishment that results is truly astounding, and the oil is microencapsulated to release the benefits over time.  We here at Your Escape Salon have all tried it, and it was wonderful in all of our hair, which ranges from oily and fine to drier and thick.  That's truly amazing.

Another lovely aspect of this line is the fact that Paul Mitchell and African women's collectives have navigated a fair-trade partnership, which helps create economic sustainability for these women and their families.  I find this an important part of conscientious consumerism, and I am always glad to see companies stepping up and taking the time to forge these relationships.

The products include:
Rare Oil Treatment & Rare Oil Treatment Light (for hair and skin) - These products are instantly    hydrating and can be used as a pre-shampoo enriching treatment, on damp hair before blow-drying, or on the ends of dry hair to help prevent frizzing.

Rare Oil Replenishing Shampoo - This sulfate-free shampoo is an excellent choice for both color treated and natural hair.

Rare Oil Replenishing Conditioner - The conditioner from this line contains all of the goodness of marula oil, providing hydration and nourishment.

Rare Oil Intensive Masque - This masque provides UV protection, hydration and prevents future damage to your hair.  Amazingly, this masque both softens dry and coarse hair, and adds fullness to fine and limp hair.  As a fine-haired gal myself, I love having a masque option for when I feel like my hair needs an extra something, but not a greasy weigh-down!

Do check this line out - you will be so glad that you did!

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

*Poopourri

Even though it's still spring, it feels like summer here in South Florida!

The hot, humid weather and intense sun are already affecting us here in south Florida.  That means more and more people will be going to the beach and spending time outside.  Being out in those conditions will do a number on your hair whether it's color treated or au naturale!  Paul Mitchell's UVeil Complex Sun line will help to protect and preserve your lovely locks.  The line includes Sun Recovery Hydrating Shampoo (UV protective and sulfate-free), After-Sun Replenishing Masque (UV protective and instantly hydrating) and Sun Sheild Conditioning Spray (UV protective and adds shine and softness).  

In addition to the sun care regimen, Paul Mitchell also offers Shampoo Two, Shampoo Three and Super Charged Moisturizer.  Shampoo Two is a gentle, everyday clarifying shampoo that is great for people who are in chlorine a lot, or have hard water at home.  Shampoo Three is a more intense clarifying shampoo that is great for once a week use to remove chlorine and build up.  It's also a great shampoo to use right before you come in for your color service so that build-up is removed and your hair is in prime condition to receive color.  Super Charged Moisturizer is a once a week conditioning treatment that is great to use after Shampoo Three to hydrate and replenish the clarified hair.  We've got what you need to keep your hair looking fantastic all summer long!
