As the Chair Turns - October 2019

Have I told you Orange is my favorite season?
​
I don’t know about you, but I was sure happy to see “Karl the Fog”.   Don’t get me wrong, I love that we finally had a summer this year.  It had just been TOO hot for my liking lately.  One nice thing about San Francisco, though, is that if you don’t like the weather just wait a couple days and it will definitely change.

There has been quite a bit of chatter recently about shampoo bars so I thought I’d pass along some information.  Although they may seem new to many, solid soap shampoos were commonly used before liquid detergent shampoos became popular in the 1940’s.    A little over 20 years ago Cosmetics to Go, the company that later became Lush, successfully applied for and won a patent to protect their revolutionary and exciting new invention.  So, it's definitely not a “new” phenomenon.  We are all wanting to be more conscientious about plastics and the environment and bar shampoos are one option to reduce wastes.  Using a shampoo bar is different than a liquid so it may take a little getting used to.   I have a couple articles you’ll find helpful if you’re thinking of making the switch.

I have some of the best clients (yeah, that’s you) so I don’t really need to pass this information along to you, BUT…
Even the most well meaning of us need an occasional reminder to put our best selves forward.  That said, I have an article of salon etiquette essentials.

We're all counting the hairs on our head (or in the sink).  Not literally “counting, but you know what I mean.   I have an article for you on things you can check so you’ll know if those hairs in the shower or brush are within normal limits.   

That’s just some of what I have for you this month in “As the Chair Turns”.
 
Enjoy!
