SPEND LESS TIME IN THE MIRROR THIS YEAR

LESS is MORE this season; And by less I mean less time in the mirror!
Start off with some a good clean hair cut/trim. A good haircut really helps you think outside the box when it comes to styling, it makes the style easier and more fun!


A trim is essential if you already have a good haircut, it just helps maintain the health of the cut.




Second, subtle highlights.
 I can personalize your highlights to make them fit your skin tone, natural hair levels and lifestyle. 
I can get your color to last from 8 to 10 weeks instead of 6 to 8 weeks. 







Still need less time in the morning for your hair? 

Formeldahyde free Keratin smoothing treatments cut down your blow dry style by  30% and last up to four months with no outgrowth at the root.
That’s just one of the benefits to the keratin it also will withstand that summer time weather. You can also do it the same day as your color service.. it's THAT SAFE!











If you want to spend LESS time on your hair and MORE time looking fabulous make an appointment!

PH BALANCED EFFECTIVE HAIRCARE




I've been trying this new Ph balanced haircare line at my salon and I absolutely fell in love!
I have been using it on ALL of my clients's hair and have been seeing instant results. 


I know it sounds crazy and there are so many product lines out there, but I love that Soma is truely Ph balanced (I checked with litmus paper) so it is safe on any hair type and hair with color or any other chemical on it. 




The clarifying and Moisture shampoo are my favorites. I also enjoy that every product is light and pliable, none of them are greasy, too heavy, smell bad, or leave ANY residue!  


You cannot get Soma in the drug stores.
Kim Kardashian loves this haircare line!


***If you would like to come see me for a $30 blowdry, or a $40-55 blowdry and style using Soma, call Salon Heaven at 312-753-5444. I work there Tuesday-Sunday 10-6!

SHOP FOR GROCERIES WITHOUT BREAKING THE BANK!

http://www.cityfreshmarket.com/
This market has all the best organic foods that are cheaper in price than WholeFoods.
What some people don't realize, is it's not the name of the place where you shop, it's the quality and their prices.
Why should you have to spend $8 on a tomato? Really? Does it sing and dance?
I shop here a lot (have to admit, I also shop at Dominicks) but they have very good prices and their food? YUM!
Check them out!

HUMIDITY-PROOF HAIR!

One of the best ways to beat humidity causing frizz and unmanageable hair, is with a Keratin smoothing treatment.  Origianally Created in Brazil, where natural curls and humidity are the norm, the Keratin smoothing treatment provided a much needed solution allowing easy, worry free, manageable hair for up to 4 months!
As an experienced hair stylist, I am incredibly impressed with the product results and my clients love having smooth, shiny hair without hours smoothing and blow drying each day.
One of these Keratin Treatments (which I don't use) called the Brazilian Blowout, had controversy of hurting stylist and client's eyes. This only occurs when the stylist is using too much product and the salon is not properly ventilized. I can assure you, I've been in a Brazilian Blowout salon in Florida. Ten stylists were doing the treatment on their clients (including myself) and not one time did i smell or see smoke. They were using it the right way!  
I use the Salon Tech Keratin Treatment. This treatment does not have formeldahyde in it. 


I also use Amazon Series Cysteine Complex Curl Softening Treatment which I have in my hair and love! This also lasts four months.




I always give $200-250 Keratin treatments. Most salons in Chicago charge $300. (the price does not change the quality of this treatment). If you would like to schedule your free consultation and/or appointment please do via emailFacebook,Twitter,  or call 773.683.8635.

SELENA UNDER PRESSURE WITH JUSTIN BIEBER ROMANCE



Selena Gomez -19 years old - admits the pressures of being Justin Bieber‘s girlfriend is starting to get to her.
The singer and actress says despite her own past as a teen favorite she struggles to cope with the attention lavished on her pop prince. ”
It’s crazy,” says Selena. “Sometimes I get overwhelmed and kind of have a bad day with it because it is so crazy.
“But I have had this since I was 15 so I know you just have to keep your head down and not give these people what they want but sometimes it does get to you.”
Selena recently admitted that she doesn’t like “hiding” her relationship with Bieber.

“I don’t like hiding. I do like to keep certain things to myself, but at the end of the day, I’m 18, and I’m going to fall in love,” she said. “I’m going to hang out with people, and I’m going to explore myself, and I’m OK with that.”


Eva La Rue Returning to "All My Children"!

Love this!
I also loved this women in CSI. I am obsessed with that show, as well as All My Children.


With cancellation imminent, the stars are flocking back to 'All My Children.' The latest? 'CSI: Miami' star Eva La Rue.




According to 
TV Guide, La Rue will return to Pine Valley as Dr. Maria Santos Grey this July. La Rue joined the show in 1993, left in 1997, returned in 2002 and then left in 2005. The actress recently stopped by the soap in 2010 to celebrate the show's 40th anniversary.




Besides La Rue, Josh Duhamel, whose character, Leo du Pres, is "dead" on 'All My Children,'(tragic) 
will return for at least one episode.
 Duhamel's Leo was last seen plummeting to his death in a waterfall accident. (Some of my clients love this show and have been very helpful sources for this article!) However, his body was never found.

Look for Duhamel in August, with another episode possible before the September series finale.





Thorsten Kaye and Cady McClain are also returning to the soap.

The TV Guide report indicates many other stars may be booking return trips to Pine Valley to pay homage to the series that gave them their big break. Could Melissa Leo and Sarah Michelle Gellar be waiting in the wings?

ABC is replacing 'All My Children' with 'The Chew,' a one-hour food/lifestyle program.


Tell Me: Do you want more stars to return to the soap?
