Quinceañera
We had the honor of providing the formal hair requirements of a lovely group of young ladies for a Quinceañera last week. Love girls on their way to church and then a reception .For the Latin cultures, equivalent of the "sweet 16" in American culture. Enjoy the pictures of Joanne and Vinny's work

At Home Keratin Treatments
I know that Keratin treatments are expensive, very expensive. One of the reasons they are expensive is because of the time involved, the other is the simple cost of the product itself. A reputable Keratin treatment is usually about $160 to $190 for an 8 ounce bottle, averaging two ounces per treatment on an average head of hair. Now there are at home keratin treatments on the market.
I have but one experience with one of these products. At the time, I had no idea there was an "at home" offering for this treatment. A girl in our plaza had done her hair at home. It DID look nice. I did not really believe her when she told me about an at home kit, mainly because her hair looked nice, but in the coming weeks, her hair began to break and large areas at the crown and along the sides broke to just a few inches long. I saw her today (she no longer works near us) She stoppled in to say "HI" she was wearing a knit cap, and said that almost all of her hair had broken off. That is the very last thing we would ever want to see happen to anyone.
Ladies we do hair because we love it. We offer our services to you because we like our jobs, and like seeing our clients happy, and loving their hair, and our work. we are glad we can make a living doing what we love,but we are not in this business to charge huge prices and make a ton of money. We average an hourly rate, and charge related to that, and cost of materials. That is the truth, plain and simple.
What I am saying is this; we are here to serve you, to give you the benefit of training we have received directly from the products manufacturers. We spend a lot of time comparing these products, their ingredients, and ease of use . We find the most appealing to be a line that offers cost effectiveness, lower toxic byproducts, long lasting results, and good quality hair condition after treatment. We offer several different kinds of Keratin treatments, and our choices have been made, after much consideration and research.
Ladies, would you REALLY take the chance on sacrificing your hair to save $100. ?? If we offer you a Keratin treatment, you have our promise to take the utmost care of your hair, and to ensure you the best condition. We stand behind our work, and will make sure your hair stays in the very best condition it can

Christmas Open House
I have been a busy bee,party supplies and groceries, getting ready for our Christmas open house again this year. I so enjoy surprising the clients with a nice buffet of finger food this time of year. I think that, as the holiday approaches, things like breakfast and lunch can escape quite a few folks in their rush to get everything done.
This year we are offering ginger-teriaki chicken meatballs, little smokies in grape jelly barbeque (yes is it DE-LISH!) sweet plantains, pasta salad, ham salad, Cranberry pecan cheeseball, veggie tray and dip, crackers and sliced cheese, mini red velvet cakes, pumpkin crisp, banana bread and cinnamon bread, chocolate pretzels, nuts and kisses. JEEZE! That sounds like a whole lotta food!!! OH, and green tea sweetened with honey and apple infusion. I'm tired just listing it all! If you can, stop by and have a bite, you are certainly welcome!

Merry Christmas!
The "crew" at A Couple Gals Salon is complete with the addition of Essie and Vinnie. We now have all the talent anyone could ever wish for in the highest priced salon in town!!
To celebrate our new additions, We all went out to celebrate at a local Bistro, Belle and Maxwell's
I asked them all to bring their nearest and dearest, and I invited a favorite client of mine, and her besty. We had a ball, and got to laugh and socialize and not worry about processing time or clock watching. HA!
Bios on all our staff are available on our website, www.acouplegalshair.com

WOW Hair!
Back in June I took notice of a new type of hair extension that seemed faster, less intrusive, and the best part is that the high quality hair is reusable for up to a year!! Ultratress II. I signed up for the training classes in Fort Lauderdale, and got certified by the company.
We ventured into this new area cautiously, and a couple of our regulars got an excellent deal, as we moved forward and got fully confident in this method.
Ultratress II hair extensions have since made quite a few ladies VERY happy!!
The method employs high quality remy human hair that is embedded in a very small silicone strip, to which a double sided clear adhesive strip is applied. The extensions are custom sized to your needs, and then applied near the root of you hair. After applying the first tape, the hair extension is pressed in place, then lifted. As it lifts up, a fine layer of hair is adhered. Then a second adhesive extension is attached to the underside, sandwiching your hair gently between the two layers. The results in an almost weightless extension that triples the density of you hair, not to mention all the length you could wish for!!
These before and after are from the manufacturer, but our own will be added in the next few days. I cant wait to get mine in!!
