Summertime, and the living is easy

Have you seen our new look?  You can view some of these changes on our website (www.freshhair.com/photos.htm). 

Please join us this week for the local celebration “1st Thursday” on August 7 from 6-8pm.  This month our artist is Renee Hoekstra whose fabulous watercolors of horses range from the realistic to the fanciful.

In the interest of your health and beauty, all sunscreens for hair and skin are 20% off this month.  And remember that you can still be safely tanned in our Mystic Tan spray tanning booth.

It’s almost Back-To-School time again.  Is someone in your family going to be in a dorm room or an apartment this year?  Stock up on personal grooming supplies here.  Many of the large sizes of shampoos, conditioners, and hairstyling aids are on sale!

The Massachusetts legislature has designated a No-Tax weekend again this year.  We will be open and all retail will not be taxed on Saturday August 16.  This may be the day for you to stock up on regularly used items!

Last week when our phones weren't working for about 24 hours - probably because of all the thunderstorms we were told - many clients were able to reach us via email.  So if you can't get through via telephone, try us at www.appointments@freshhair.com!

Fresh Hair will be closed for Labor Day weekend on both Saturday August 31st and Monday September 1st.   

Let us remind you: haircolor fades in the sun, but we carry sunscreens for the hair.  Come by and look for the little yellow suns on specific items that signify which of our products protect against UVA and UVB rays.

We're still looking for a part-time esthetician, and a nail technician.  Go to our Employment page for more information.

Got a hair, skin, nail, cosmetic, or spray tanning question?  Just send an email to info@freshhair.com and we’ll send you the answer!

Really Refreshing
Come by to see our new inside paint job!  We've moved some things to different places, taken some things away, and added some new things.  Its refreshing! (so is our air-conditioning).

Our exterior will be painted in August.

Today is Fresh Hair's 26th birthday!

7/1/08

Refreshing news

 

Fresh Hair will be closed for renovations from July 4 -13.  The salon will be painted and the floors buffed, and we have a few other new looks that you’ll have to come by to see! 

You can still schedule an appointment while we're closed: just leave a voice mail and someone will call you back, or send a request to appointments@freshhair.com and we will respond!

To those of you who have July birthdays and are on our list to get $5 off during the month of your birthday, we are extending your discount until 8/15 to make up for the fact that we'll be closed most of the beginning of July.

The best news we can give you is that Erica Lee is resuming the Salon Coordinator position! She will be the lovely voice on the phone or the bright smile when she greets you in person Monday-Friday days.

Because we will be closing 7/4 for renovations, we are not hosting 1st Thursdays this month.  Visit us next for this event on August 7. 

We're still looking for a part-time esthetician, and a nail technician.  Go to our Employment page for more information.

Sunny News and Deals

 

Fresh Hair will be closed for renovations from July 4 -13.  The salon will be painted and the floors buffed, and we have a few other new looks that you’ll have to come by to see!  We want to let you know so you don’t wait to make an appointment during those days.  

To prepare for the aforementioned renovations, we need to sell off as much as possible so that we don't have to pack it away. Please help us while you get yourself and your loved ones some special deals!  Almost every retail item is 25% off all month!

We encourage you to try our Mystic Tan spray tanning, and so we are offering the following deals: a single session, usually $25, this month is only $20.  Three sessions, usually $60, this month is only $45 but you must use them by the end of August.  Ten sessions, usually $150, this month is only $110 but you must use all the sessions by the end of August.   Stay healthy and look good!  (You can also find this information on the Bargain Page of the new Lola Magazine).  

Here's another deal because we know that the warmer weather means that legs want to be shown.  Get ½ leg wax + bikini + a spray tan single session for $70 (regularly $85) this month only!  

And for that tough old guy in your life: buy Dad a Gift Card for a facial and you’ll automatically be entered in our drawing for free facial for yourself!  

Thursday, June 5, was the local celebration 1st Thursday from 6 to 8pm.  We are showing the fantastic close up color photographs of Kerry Moffitt this month.  During this opening, our henna artist Sue was here to inspire you to reveal a decorated spot of skin, and Cynthia McCarthy had a table of her southwestern style jewelry for sale. 

TIP OF THE MONTH  You’re probably aware that your haircolor fades in the sun.  Did you know that there are sunscreens for the hair?  Come by and look for the little yellow suns on specific shampoos, conditioners, and styling aids that point out which of our products will protect your hair from UVA and UVB rays.      

We're still looking for a part-time esthetician, and a nail technician.  Go to our Employment page for more information.

Moms Deserve Special Treatments Every Day

 

This month we’re offering a package of an Aromatherapy Facial + an Aromatherapy Pedicure with a Sea Rock Foot Soak for $100.  Treat yourself or that special someone.  What a deal!

Did you know?  Fresh Hair accepts the Boston Community Change Card, a customer loyalty card (not a credit card) that rewards you and a non-profit or local school of your choice every time you shop here. Present your card at the time of purchase and earn a 2% rebate on purchases of services or retail totaling $50 or more while also generating a cash reward for your organization of choice.  Get your FREE Boston Community Change Card online at www.bostoncommunitychange.org

Our Mystic Tan spray tanning sessions cost $25 each.  When you take advantage of our special deal of 10 tanning sessions for $150, you can be safely tan every day for ten weeks (that’s just $2.14 per day). Look like you’ve been relaxing in the sun but don't encourage wrinkles or future skin conditions – be beautiful and be healthy!  Keep your skin well-moisturized, and the glow will last even longer.  Check out www.mystictan.com for more information, then come visit us!

Fresh Hair will be closed for the long Memorial Day weekend, both Saturday, May 24 and Monday, May 26.  We re-open for our usual hours on Tuesday, May 27 at 8am.

Fresh Hair will be closed for renovations from July 4 -14.  The salon will be painted and the floors buffed, and we'll have a few other new looks that you’ll have to come by to see!  We want to let you know so that you don’t wait to make an appointment during those days.

TIP OF THE MONTH   Before your skin gets toughened by the sun, learn to apply sunscreen every day.  You can wear it alone or you can mix it with foundation for a smoother look.   We carry the anti-aging moisturizer BioElements Year Round Protector with SPF 30, and Aveda Daily Light Guard with SPF 15, and our FH Cosmetics also has a light-diffusing foundation with SPF 8.

We're still looking for a part-time esthetician, and a nail technician.  Go to our Employment page for more information.

Get Fresh!

 

We make a difference every day.  Fresh Hair uses water warmed by the sun via the solar thermal panels on our roof that heats the water that’s used when we shampoo your hair. Also, we have changed over to Compact Florescent light bulbs. And we recycle as much as we can, doing our part to keep the planet healthy.

Tina has returned and facials are $10 off (Teen Facials are $5 off) all April!  We also hope that you will come by to see the new cosmetic colors we’re launching!  In May we’ll be having another ‘make-over evening ‘.  Stay tuned!

Our award-winning nail technician Michelle has returned after many weeks so you can finally get your manicure, and a pedicure to begin wearing those open-toe shoes.  This month, get both services done the same day and receive a FREE paraffin treatment for your hands!

In our Mystic Tan spray tanning booth, a single session is $25, but save money by signing up for 10 sessions for $150.  Come in once a week, always be tan, and always be safe.  Visit www.mystictan.com for more information.

We’re pleased to introduce you to Renee, our new Salon Coordinator, who comes to Fresh Hair with a lot of salon management experience.   You can meet her in person or over the phone Mondays-Fridays until 3pm.  Or request an appointment online at appointments@freshhair.com!

Joy will return to hairstyling within a few weeks.

Our current artist is Maya Urbanowicz whose abstract drawings will be here through 1st Thursday which begins this year on May 1 from 6-8pm.

We're still looking for a part-time esthetician, and a nail technician.  Go to our Employment page for more information.

TIP OF THE MONTH   For the past few months we’ve been offering solutions for dry hair, skin, and nails.  We aren’t quite out of the woods yet, but April’s showers may require humidity-resistant products like Aveda’s Smooth Infusion line of shampoo, conditioner, and a style-prep smoother.  Paul Mitchell’s Super Skinny Serum and  MOP (Modern Organic Products) D-Curl also keep your hair sleek by holding the frizzies at bay.

Forward March

 

Last month we advertised $10 off any Facials ($5 off Teen Facials), but then Tina fell on the ice and fractured her elbow!  She is healing and will return March 12.  This special facial deal is now extended through April!

Last month we had advertised a FREE paraffin treatment with a manicure and pedicure.  Then Michelle had to return home for a family emergency.  She will be returning in March 25.   This special will also be extended through April!

Got a prom or a wedding or some other special event happening soon?  Want to wear something with little spaghetti straps but need a little glow in your skin?  Get a UV-Free Mystic Tan!   It costs $25 for a single session, takes less than 15 minutes to do, and lasts for 7-10 days.  It’s perfectly safe too, reinforcing our salon philosophy by providing a healthy alternative to traditional tanning.                    Check out www.mystictan,com.

All gift items are now 40% off!  You’re lucky that you can make St. Patrick's Day a reason to treat yourself and a loved one!

We have job openings for a fulltime Salon Coordinator, a part-time esthetician, and a nail technician.  Go to our Employment page for more information.

TIP OF THE MONTH    As spring approaches and nature renews itself, Fresh Hair encourages you to take some time to renew yourself as well. Instead of getting caught up in a rush of work, school, errands, and chores, give yourself a little break and visit us.  Our services are no more expensive than dinner at a nice restaurant, the results are seen more than a new sweater, and they last a lot longer!

Solutions to the Mid-Winter Blahs

 

FOR YOUR SKIN  Get $10 off all facials during the month of February!  Be warm, pampered, and deep-cleaned, and leave with cheeks as smooth as a baby’s bottom.

If you feel abnormally pale, our Mystic Tan spray tanning will perk you right up! Its safe, its easy, and its only $20 this month! (thats $5 off the regular price).

FOR YOUR NAILS   When you come in for both a manicure and a pedicure, try a paraffin treatment for your hands for FREE!  It’s regularly a $5 charge, but we believe in its power to cure dry skin and want you to become a believer too.  Its fun and works amazingly well!

FOR YOUR HAIR   The dry weather, indoors and out, puts almost everyone’s hair at its worst. Haircolor, either all over or in highlights, plumps up the hair shaft.  Hair products like mousse and spray gels, give the hair added body.  Get some haircolor done and and get 20% off the products that will support your new full head of hair that have been recommended by your hairstylist!

Flyaway hair is best cured with deep conditioning treatments.  These can be done in the salon, or you can take some products home and do them yourself.  In-salon treatments are $5 off this month (regularly $10-$20). If you decide to do a deep conditioning treatment at home, we’ll give you 20% off any of the specific conditioning products we will recommend for your particular hair type.

TIP OF THE MONTH  Hair is negatively charged. Brushing the hair creates a negative charge on the brush too.  Like charges repel, so then each hair strand tries to get away from the others and stands up. Using an ionic blowdryer helps prevent static electricity by producing positive ions that cancel the charges on the hair.  Fresh Hair sells some very cute ionic blowdryers for only $40!  See them on the shelf above the hairbrushes.

New: Year, Deals, Staff

 

 

The holidays may be over, but the deals are just starting.  This month all of our gift items are on sale at 25% off!  Even the earrings that we sell, usually with the deal of 20% off whenever you buy three or more pairs, are now 25% off when you buy three or more pairs!

Our next Cosm(et)ic Event will be on Thursday, January 24 from 5-8pm. (the last evening we had scheduled for makeovers got snowed out!).  Its FREE, although we do ask for a $10 deposit to hold your space.  This fee will go toward any cosmetic purchases that evening.  Tina will help you figure out which cosmetic colors are best for you and how to apply them.   Call now to sign up; space is limited!

Now answering our phones are Julia and Brittany, who along with Tiffany, our Salon Coordinator, should be able to answer any and all of your questions.  For even more information, send an email to info@freshhair.com.

Banish the pale of winter before you go on vacation to a warm and sunny spot.  Start off with some color by getting spray tanned in our Mystic Tan booth.  You’ll look relaxed and healthy, and no one will know that you just flew into town. It’s safe, quick, and inexpensive!  Check out our website for more information.

TIP OF THE MONTH   Products really do help.  We have Avoplex Oil for dry nails and cuticles, Aveda’s Smoothing Fluids to control the static of flyaway hair, and BioElements moisturizers for your face.                                            Buying these products is not enough: you must actually use them! 

12/15/07

Because of the snow and ice storm predicted for tomorrow, Fresh Hair will not be open as we usually are on Sundays in December.

12/1/07

'Tis the Season to Look Amazing!
Due to its popularity, once again we are hosting a 'make-over' night with our new line of FH Cosmetics!   On Thursday, December 13 from 5-8pm, our esthetician Tina will help you figure out which cosmetic color to use for your particular skin or how to apply any of the make-up we sell.  We ask for a $10 deposit which will go toward any cosmetic purchases that evening.  Call now to sign up; space is limited!

Remember:  we are open the first four Sundays in December from 12noon until 5pm!

We are open on Christmas Eve until 3pm, reopening on Wednesday December 26 at 12noon.    We are open on New Year's Eve until 6pm, reopening on Wednesday January 2, 2008 at 12 noon.

Sadly for us but good for her, Erica who has been our Salon Coordinator for the last couple of years has left us to pursue an advanced academic career.  To fill Erica’s shoes we have hired Krisann.   And Tiffany has stepped up to the plate to be the Salon Coordinator. 

TIP OF THE MONTH:  To make it easier to apply a lipliner or eyeliner pencil, soften it by warming it up!  Use a blowdryer, or even keep it in your palm or close to your body for just a few minutes. (Get more tips at our make-over night!  See above)

Got a hair, skin, nail, cosmetic, or spray tanning question?  Just send an email to info@freshhair.com and we’ll send you the answer!

11/1/07

'Tis the Season to Begin Again

On Thursday, November 15 from 5-8pm, our esthetician Tina is hosting a 'make-over' night with our new line of FH Cosmetics!  For a $10 deposit which will go toward any cosmetic purchases that evening, Tina will help you figure out which cosmetic color to use for your particular skin or how to apply any of the make-up we sell.  Call now to sign up; space is limited!

Come see our Gift Table which has been reset with lots of items perfect for gift-giving.  Most of the gifts that we offer are $20 and under.  We know that the season can be difficult for many and yet everyone wants to participate, so here’s your opportunity to make people happy easily!

This month we are offering a free brow wax with a facial.  Be prepared before the stress of the busy holiday season gets to you!

Do you know that you can add money to a Gift Card?  If your child likes to come in on her/his own for services and products, a Gift Card can act like a debit card towards your account.  What a great way to keep them happy all year!

For Thanksgiving, we close at 6pm the night before, this year Wednesday November 21.  We’re closed on Thursday, and we open at 12 noon on Friday November 23.

To help you get everything done, remember that we are open the first four Sundays in December from 12noon until 5pm.

TIP OF THE MONTH:  By using only a drop (literally, the size of a split pea) of conditioner, combing it through and leaving it on after a shampoo, you save time because there’s no second rinse, you save money because you use so little, and your hands feel great because the conditioner acts like a hand cream for you. Try it!

Autumnal happenings

Once again, Fresh Hair was voted as JP’s Best Personal Service!  It’s wonderful to be recognized for our skills and for the salon’s comfort level. Thank you, everyone!  

When you recommend a new client to us, we give you $5 off your next service!  If you bring us a new client on the same day as your appointment, you each get $5 off any one service!

Have you tried FH Cosmetics?  Our cosmetic colors feature the latest trends as well as all the basics. You can have a FREE consultation (fifteen minutes), a lesson in how to apply cosmetics, or you can have your make-up expertly applied for a special day.  

You don’t have to go straight into the pale set.  We offer Mystic Tan spray tanning.  It’s safe, quick, and not expensive.  Find more information on our Services page.

By the way, Debbie's schedule is updated on our Staff page monthly.

Richard has had a few health issues lately but wants to reassure everyone that he is feeling better and will be back at work soon.  

STYLING TIP OF THE MONTH: As the humidity lessens and the heat gets turned on, your hair will stay in better shape by not completely rinsing out all of your conditioner after you shampoo.  We sell some leave-in conditioners that are made for this purpose, although any conditioner will do as long as you use just a very small amount (about the size of a pea).

Back to School 
We are proud to introduce FH Cosmetics.  Tina, our esthetician, was the primary hand in picking the items and colors, and she is available for cosmetic consultations (15min free), applications (reg. $30, but now $20 through September!) and lessons.  She does brides too! 

Once again, for '1st Thursday' on September 6, we are hosting an open house for this month’s artist Sandy Papson from 6-8 pm.  Jonathan will also be here offering chair massages ($1 per minute with a 5 minute minimum).  Come by and join us!

As you may or may not know, the small copying and faxing center next door is affiliated with the salon.  Career opportunities are available for an enterprising and creative person.  See www.freshcopyjp.com for more information.

Our Michelle is responsible for Fresh Hair winning BEST NEIGHBORHOOD MANICURE for Boston Magazine’s Best of Boston!  See us in the August issue, pg 197.   

By the way, Michelle thinks she should really be recognized for her eyebrow waxing.  You can help by going to www.bostonmagazine.com/best_of and nominate her using her name with our salon name in the services category.

We would also welcome an online review at www.citysearch.com .  We currently have 4.5 stars and are reaching for the top!

In the local realm, we are once again in the running for Best Personal Service in the Jamaica Plain Gazette.  Please vote for us at www.jamaicaplaingazette.com, in category #17.  Deadline is September 7th!

Katie got married!  See the picture of Katie with her new husband (who was her longtime boyfriend) John.

Debbie is back at work this month on Saturday September 8th.  Her schedule will be posted on this website as soon as we know each month.

8/20/07

Kids Need Haircuts and So Do You
Children age 13 and under get half price haircuts (regularly $15-20) when done with a regularly priced haircut by the same hairstylist.  Get back to the grind looking great!

8/1/07

Summer Winds Down

Available August 1-18 only:  Get two or more haircare services the same day and get 15% off each.  Choose at least two: a haircut, haircolor, foil highlights, or permanent wave.  Blowdrys and curling iron or flat iron work, which are generally the finishing part of the other services mentioned, are not included in this promotion.  

From August 20 through September 30, children’s haircuts (age 13 and under) will be half price when done with a full priced haircut by the same hairstylist.  Kids need haircuts and so do you!

As baby number 2 gets older, Debbie is adding days to her schedule.  She will here on Saturday August 11, August 18, and September 8.   Call 617-524-6867 or email appointments@freshhair.com for an appointment!

Once again on August 2nd we will be part of our neighborhood celebration of the arts from 6-8 pm.  This month we continue to offer chair massages ($1 per minute with a 5 minute minimum). Our henna artist, Sue, will also be here to do henna tattoos (price depends on the complexity of the design you choose).  

Aveda has just come out with a new line of haircare products specifically for men.  Testosterone generally produces more oil in the scalp, and the new high performance shampoo works together with the Pure-Formance Conditioner to soothe, refresh and relieve the scalp.  The styling products also add a healthy shine (not too much) to your hair, with some holding power.

Fresh Hair will be closed for Labor Day weekend on both Saturday September 1st and Monday September 3rd.  This year 9/1 will be a special day as Katie, one of our own, is getting married!

Got a hair, skin, nail, cosmetic, or spray tanning question?  Just send an email to info@freshhair.com and we’ll send you the answer!

7/1/07

Its our 25th birthday! 
It's true! Fresh Hair opened on July 15, 1982.  Come take a walk with us down memory lane - stop by to view our photo retrospective.  Maybe you’ll see yourself or recognize an old friend!  

Another reason to celebrate is that all retail is 25% OFF all July!  That’s right: every item we carry for hair, skin, and nails is on sale.  Earrings, too!

The staff has selected their own personal favorite products.  Maybe you’ll agree with them, maybe you won’t, maybe you’re looking for advice, whatever: come read their reasons why.

We will be closed on Wednesday July 4, reopening at noon on Thursday July 5th.  

We are continuing to follow our environmental mission: every time a light bulb burns out, we are replacing it with a Compact Florescent light bulb.  We’re just doing our part to slow global warming.

We have adopted the two flower barrels by the park benches across the side street from the salon.  And Ferris Wheels next door planted and hung our new window boxes.                    

Summer is pretty (just like you)!

 

6/1/07

We all welcome summer

 

 

 

 

 

  

 

 

All of our products that contain sunscreens (shampoos, conditioners, styling aids, and skin care with an SPF of either 15 or 30) are 20% off this month.  And because you may really want to look tan, we are offering coupons for 20% off spray tanning: buy them this month and you can use them through September.  All it takes is about 15 minutes and a few hours later - voila, tan!  We were also featured in the May issue of Allure Magazine (page 161) for our safe, inexpensive, and natural looking spray tans.

We now offer ‘sugaring’ in addition to waxing.  This is a completely non-toxic paste of sugar and lemon juice that is used just like wax, but it never burns you because it doesn’t need to be heated as high, you don’t have to wait for the hair to grow out as much because it doesn’t have to be as long as it does for waxing (one eighth vs one quarter inch), and the clean-up is done with warm water only!  Unfortunately, we have to admit that pulling out the hair is going to hurt no matter what, but at least you can be assured that this time it’ll be sweet!

There has been some bad press recently about the toxic chemicals found in many nail polishes.  We have checked it out and are happy to report that OPI, the brand of nail polishes that we sell, have been reformulating their stock for over a year.  There is no DBP, toluene or formaldehyde in their new shades.  For much more information, go to www.opi.com, click on Beauty Associations, and click on OPI Cares for product safety information.

We were featured on Chronicle on May 29th.  We had the spot right before the break mid-show, and got an extra plug from the show’s hosts!  Go to www.thebostonchannel.com/chronicle and find us by date in the archives.  

Fresh Hair is turning 25 in July!  If you have been a client since we opened, or if you have any stories or special memories of the olden days in the salon, send us an email at 25years@freshhair.com so we can give YOU a present!   

We will be closed on Wednesday July 4, reopening at noon on Thursday July 5th.

4/1/07

New Faces and Old
Staff Changes

Debbie’s back from her second maternity leave.  She’s in one Saturday a month with plans to add time in April.

Mel is back at Fresh Hair after realizing the grass elsewhere is not always greener.  She is behind the chair weekday afternoons and evenings.

Tina gave birth to Andrew at the end of January and is extremely happy!  She plans to return to work part-time in April.

Anette is a new esthetician currently working some of Tina’s hours.  She is here part-time through March.   

Linda has returned from her annual winter sojourn, and is currently working three days a week. 

Silvana is a new nail technician covering the hours around Michelle’s schedule.  After training her, Silvana was so good that Michelle finally got a pedicure! 

Michelle can now do hair extensions (the glue-in kind) on Wednesdays.  It takes about an hour for $60.  You have to bring your own hair extensions.  A consultation beforehand is preferable but not absolutely necessary.

Shauron is our new hairstylist, bringing his downtown skills and professional attitude to our corner of the world.

We are offering $5 off any hair care service for you and a friend who would also be a new client if you both have an appointment on the same day!

What's Going On...
Babies babies everywhere!
Congratulations to Mary who had a baby boy in August and Debbie who had a baby girl in September!  Tina will be giving birth in January.  She plans to be here until the middle of January and return part time by March.
Price Increases & Honors
We will be increasing some prices as of January 2007.  We haven't had a price increase since 12/03.  But we promise it will be worth every penny.  Fresh Hair was once again awarded the JP Gazette's award for Best Personal Service 2006.  Periodic price increases are necessary for us to continue to offer the highest quality and most up-to-date services in a warm, comfortable environment.  Next door, Fresh Copy won Friendliest Business after being open for less than a year!  Thanks to everyone who voted for us!   
Go see a great show!
Our very own Richard is directing The Full Monty at the Footlight Club in November.  It promises to be a great time for all!

7/15/06

Doors Closing and Opening
Staff changes within
This past month has seen three of our hairstylists move on to new jobs.  Mary left to be a mommy!  Ron has taken his skills to the bright lights downtown.  Mel is concentrating on getting into photo work.  As we say goodbye to old faces, we say hello to two new ones as well.  Welcome Jennifer and Sophie to the Fresh Hair family!  They both come with experience and highly recommended.  We look forward to you discovering their talents.  

7/15/06

Summer Sale
Why not save some money?
During July and August there are many items on the sale table, all for $5 each!  There are great gifts, travel sizes of products and some things just to make yourself feel better.

Tend to Your Skin
Does your skin get irritated by hair removal procedures?

We are now carrying TendSkin, a liquid aspirin that helps to reduce the appearance of inflammation from shaving and waxing.  It helps with ‘razor bumps’ and ingrown hairs, visibly improving the look and the feel of inflamed areas such as the neck, underarms, and bikini area.  Our estheticians are using it in the salon, and you can also buy some for home use to maintain the clarity of your skin.

Fresh Hair is Expanding!

Joy breaks through the wall to the addition.

After much anticipation, we are pleased to announce the opening of Fresh Hair's expansion!

Always forward looking, Fresh Hair has taken advantage of recently vacated space to install two new structures and rearrange the salon in a less crowded manner.  In the new space, we now have a backwash, an ergonomically correct shampoo sink that makes both the client and the hairdresser more comfortable.  The hairdryers have been moved out of the nail care area into this new adjacent room so no one is crowded or waiting.  The nail care area will now be able to accommodate a luxurious spa-like chair for the wonderful experience of pedicures.
