Do you love your hair?

This is a really touching video  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=enpFde5rgmw  about loving your hair. The more our salon gets to meet our curly hair clients it’s obvious that everyone should learn to love their hair. It’s great to come in and get a straight blowout or if your hairs straight, a big bouncy one, but on a daily basis shouldn’t we just learn to love our natural texture, with minimal help? Quite often our feaures and faceshape are enhanced by our natural texture. Give it a try, love your hair!

Downtown Dollars

Rae & Co. Salon is pleased to be offering Downtown Dollars. We know beauty can be expensive, so this is a great way to be able to offer our clients a way to treat themselves to services like haircolor, keratin treatments, japanese straightening, and Deva Cuts for HALF PRICE!!!! Thank you so much to the Ardmore Initiative for bringing this great economy boosting program to Ardmore.

Formaldehyde Free Keratin Treatments

Rae & Co. Salon is now offering Pure NV Botanical Keratin Treatments. This treatment contains a complex formulation of nutrients obtained from the purest fruits, vegetables and plants that address specific needs in the texture of the hair. By infusing this complex with rare Argan Oil and the purest of Keratin, we were able to create the Formaldehyde Free BKT Botanical Keratin Treatment. This Sodium Chloride Free system smoothes hair, reduces curl and eliminates frizz with these enhanced botanicals, while preserving hair color and adding radiant shine for as long as 16 weeks.

Plopping Curly Hair

Recently a client introduced our Deva Curl Specialist, Jennifer to a technique called plopping. We are totally addicted and want to pass this technique on to all you curly girls. Jennifer and I have had great results with our own hair and find that using a t-shirt yeilds the best results and putting product in soaking wet hair really helps, I leave my Devacurl Arc Angel or Moroccan Oil Curl Creme in the shower and scrunch in upside down, then with t-shirt in place on the toilet plop and wrap (I know that sounds gross, but…). Next I get dressed, put on makeup and eat breakfast, before removing my t-shirt and shaking curls a little. I like to let it air dry the rest of the way for best results, but also can be diffused or dryed under a hood dryer. Here’s another link with some videos at the bottom. Warning, if your hair is short this isn’t for you. Happy plopping!
