Some people get hair-raising adventures, but I got a hair-smoothing adventure courtesy of my new job -- which I absolutely love, by the way -- as a Salon Coordinator at Details Salon. Yesterday, smack dab in the middle of my work day, there I was sitting in the chair getting my hair done! I have never had such a cool job in all my life!! And this wasn't just a snip-snip-and-you're-done trim job they set me up with. No way. This was the big kahuna of the hair-do world -- a Keratin Complex Smoothing Therapy! (Cue Handel's "Hallelujah Chorus" and heavenly spotlights, please!)
What the heck is a Keratin Complex Smoothing Therapy, you might ask. It is a hair-do miracle for someone like me who has coarse, more cowlicks-than-curls hair and always wanted a shiny, smooth mane (hence the hallelujahs and lights). I am serious! You can check out the "before" and "after" pictures below if you don't believe me. How this stuff works I have no clue, but it somehow smooths and seals the hair's cuticle AND THE RESULT LASTS FOR FOUR TO SIX MONTHS! The treatment was time intensive for my stylist, Lindsay Shaffer, requiring multiple steps: wash and blow dry; apply the smoothing complex to the entire head doing only small sections at a time; let the treatment process for 30 minutes; blow dry again; then finish each tiny section ten times with a Keratin smoothing iron. The process took nearly three hours, which was rough because I'm not good at sitting still for very long at all, especially when I felt I should have been working. But the end result was FABULOUS!! Especially after Lindsay transformed my now-smooth hair into a funky chic style exactly like the picture I picked out from a magazine. She is a hair artiste!
If you are considering having Keratin Therapy yourself, I must warn you: you cannot wash or get your hair wet for three days after the treatment. I'm having a bit of trouble with that rule, being used to washing and styling my hair every day. And the treatment costs $300.00. Yikes, I know! They do offer a version that takes less time, lasts about six weeks, and costs about half. Still seems pricey if you're a working gal like me, but for miracle hair, it's worth it. And I got another miracle -- the big kahuna treatment didn't cost me a thing! How can that be? I asked that very same question. The owners of Details Salon, Jan and Mike Pearl, wanted to give my stylist Lindsay more chair-time at doing the Smoothing Therapy and said my new "do" would be good advertising for the salon. They sure know their business because I have had tons of compliments on my hair already, even hearing words like "fabulous" and "chic," which I can assure you have not been said about MY hair before. Besides that, they are the kindest and most generous employers I have ever had! They donate time and goods to so many charities and causes, not to mention being great bosses in running a salon with a happy team that is totally focused on providing exceptional customer service in a friendly, fun and comfortable atmosphere. Exactly why I love my job!
