The Secrets to Supermodel Hair
August 3rd, 2009
To achieve your supermodel hair, start by spraying Oribe Volumista into damp hair from roots to ends. Then methodically blow-dry three-inch sections with a round brush, allowing the hair to cool on the brush before removing and moving on to the next section. When each section is dry, gently run your fingers through. For sexy volume, backcomb and hairspray. Tease the hair at the crown of your head to create height. Be sure to do the sides as well as the center - to avoid ending up with a cone. Spray liberally with Oribe Superfine Hair Spray. Once it’s set, toss it around a bit to mess everything up a little–you don’t want it too perfect. Buy your supermodel styling tools now!

Styling Tip For Your Face - Exfoliate
June 30th, 2009
Not enough time to regularly see an esthetician for a facial? Our Berkeley Salon carries facial products from both Valmont and Eva’s Esthetics -Tu’eL. We recommend the dynamic duo of Tu’eL Peeling Cream and Glyco-A Gel to get professional exfoliating results at home. Peeling Cream is a particulate friction emulsion that is created from pulverized pumice and diatom algae (not some harsh over the counter apricot kernels). Glyco-A Gel is an alpha hydroxy acid (AHA) that gently aids in surface exfoliation. AHAs are derived from naturally occuring fruit sugars. They dissolve the “glue” that holds the dead skin cells together.
For your home exfoliating facial, use a dime size of both the Peeling Cream and the Glyco-A Gel. Mix them together and massage the combo onto dry skin for 1-3 minutes depending on the sensitivity of your skin. Let the mixture dry on your skin for 5 minutes. Rinse with cool water. For best results, follow your exfoliating treatment with your favorite hydrating serum/cream. Or to go the extra mile, follow with an anti-aging mask like Tu’eL’s Regenerative Firming Mask. This exfoliation can be done 1 to 2 times a week. You will love the results!
Top Selling Products for Men

Our manly styling tip includes all our best selling products for men and starts with Bumble and bumble Seaweed Shampoo. This is a gentle, moisturizing, daily shampoo with marine extracts that nourish your roots, add shine, and keep your scalp healthy. Follow with Seaweed Conditioner, a lightweight daily detangler also containing marine greens to soften and help manage freshly-washed hair. And to finish, there is nothing like Sumo Tech. It’s not a wax, not a paste, and not a cream, but a mid-weight shaping compound that’s a fusion of all three — a marvel of modern technology!
Super Straight
April 23rd, 2009
Not born with the super straight locks you are longing for? Yuko may be for you. Our beautiful model here, Jessica, has had her hair treated with the Yuko brand Thermal Reconditioning and Straightening System. This process makes curly, frizzy, or wavy hair straight while rejuvenating the hair and making it softer, shinier and more manageable. This form of relaxing is permanent… it lasts until the hair grows out.
Now that you have that straight hair you have been craving, how do you style it? Start with Oribe Shampoo and Conditioner for Beautiful Color. This rich restorative shampoo and conditioner soothes over-processed, chemically treated hair and extends the life of hair color. High-tech ingredients target damaged areas for intense moisture treatment and protect your hue from color-sapping UV rays. Apply Oribe Gel Serum to towel dried hair. This magical, gold-flecked potion with active moisturizing agent brings sophisticated hold with shine rather than stiffness. Next, spray Royal Blowout on from mid-shaft to ends; go section by section to blow it out even smoother and straighter. This mind-blowing, ultra-lightweight mist smoothes even the worst behaved mop while speeding drying time. It also repairs split ends, nourishes, softens, and strengthens the hair, giving it healthy body and shine.
New! Bumble and bumble Gel and Gellac
March 19th, 2009
Bb Gel- Every gel we’ve ever come across was a crunchy flaky disaster. Bb Gel is the first gel you’ll be able to comb through and have it retain the shape. And, you can achieve all this without any flaking thanks to the incredible memory and flexible hold this product has. This gel provides a medium to strong hold with no alcohol. It is great for men, classic looks and holding shapes in hair.
Bb Gellac - This is the ultimate sculpting medium and once it dries, it will not budge until you wet it down again. It has a super high gloss shine and can create a wet sculpted look that will hold up for hours and still look super shiny. This product is great for anyone who wants their hair to REALLY stay put.
