OMG! Did June Clever and her followers in the 1950’s really use Richard Hudnut’s, Pinquick with silicone sheen – (Half the waving time, half the curl)?? Take a look!
And… for a five minute tutorial 1950 style:
Fast forward to the likes of Christine and Dan Nascimento, owners of Modern Edge Salon in Newington, CT, the ever so seriously dedicated hair professionals totally dedicated to their craft, always pushing the creativity envelope! Hairstyling may once have been the era of “pink spongy (or plastic) rollers and silver pin clips, however, no more will we see such antiquated contraptions, whose results were meant to impress the male species!
No more do women have to make such sacrifices in a nightly ritual of horror! Hair styling is about possessing and owning an inner beauty, and having the courage to express it creatively in the best manner possible, suited to your physical composition, your health needs, your personal style and your pocketbook! No more harsh chemicals to strip away the good. Nurturing, natural ingredients enrich and soothe and take your hair to new heights, so to speak!
Listen to the following podcast. You will hear enthusiasm, innovation, going the extra mile, health consciousness, putting the client’s needs first and foremost, and emersion into a profession that can, and does, transform lives (not just hair!)
