Finally! Straight Hair NO Chemicals! Spoke & Weal’s Signature Smoothing Treatment

October 9, 2015

Finally!!! I was skeptical. No, no, this is NOT GOING TO WORK!

But it did. Silky, straight – just like a Brazilian but without the toxic scariness.

THANK YOU, GOD – my Jew frizz is gone (for the moment).

Spoke & Weal’s Signature Smoothing Treatment is a proprietary silk-amino smoothing treatment that leaves hair feeling youthful, soft and completely de-frizzed.

S&W technicians are trained in application. The treatment is $350 and lasts 12 weeks +. Or 75.00 for an express add-on to any service (12 days or 12 washes)

Like keratin and other treatments, you must not use sulfates to cleanse your hair…Only sulfate-free shampoo and conditioner may be used  (damage remedy / dry remedy / men’s pureformance / scalp benefits / co-wash from Aveda all work great). Sulfates will reduce the effectiveness. We tested this as well and it’s  true.

The silk molecules do not sit on top of hair like keratin (with keratin think lamination) rather they penetrate and fill in the hair strands smoothing out roughness and eliminating frizz, puffiness, dryness and damage. I haven’t experienced results like this before. It’s botanical hair treatment on steroids.

The deal-e-o:
Softens hair (visually and to touch)
Completely eliminated frizz (my hair, NYC / August)
No smell
No chemicals
No wait time (can shower, gym, or enjoy a color service right after)
Especially good for curly / coarse / damaged / color treated (or color mistreated!)
Preserves moisture (usually I need to wash because my ends dry (this is due to the oils from my scalp Not reaching down the curls) with this treatment my hair stays soft and hydrated for days (whether or not I wash my hair)

if you have fine, limp, oily and straight hair, this product may soften too much.

Guests may book online.

THERAPEUTIC POWER PLANTS

For thousands of years, humanity has relied on the healing properties of plants. Yet the effectiveness of any ingredient derived from nature is dependent on what degree the quality and quantity of its therapeutic powers can be successfully extracted.

Recent developments in extraction methods have inspired tremendous breakthroughs in nutricosmetics, introducing a powerful, newly proven efficacy of next-generation ingredients. They make the unique power of NUTRAFOL possible.

What Is a Nutraceutical?

A combination of the words nutrient and pharmaceutical, nutraceuticals are natural ingredients containing potent concentrations of isolated bioactive compounds extracted from foods, botanicals or herbals.

Recent scientific research and clinical testing supports their health benefits. Thanks to new discoveries in ingredient research and extraction technology, NUTRAFOL harnesses the power of these previously untapped ingredients.

It starts with food, botanicals & herbs

Patented Extraction Methods

Power Plants Target Multiple Problems

Once extracted, potent plant phytonutrients are combined to help combat the root causes of hair loss. Each bioactive element fulfills a specific role, delivering a full spectrum of benefits.

The full-spectrum phytonutrients in NUTRAFOL address several hair-loss factors at once, helping repair previous damage while revitalizing the scalp and hair follicles.

Bioactives Boost Results

Just because you take a certain amount of an ingredient doesn’t mean your body can process and receive the corresponding value of its benefits. Recent breakthroughs in extraction methods enable us to harvest more potent phytonutrients, and make them more bio-available.

Simply put, your body can absorb more of their power, more quickly, and to greater benefit over longer periods of time.

Franks Chop ShopFrank’s Chop Shop, the premiere Lower East Side barbershop and voted #1 barbershop by New York Magazine in 2006, 2009, and 2012 just made its way to Los Angeles with a new outpost on Melrose. I brought a couple of dudes with me to the opening and they signed off with a “yah, this is cool” stamp of approval. Not to mention, amazing haircuts.

Erica Reiss for gorgeous color and cuts – and she makes house calls!!

February 17, 2015

Gorgeous color and cut IN YOUR HOME with celeb stylist ERICA REISS.

I just had the most amazing color – and, are you kidding?… in the comfort of my own home!!  

The fabulously talented Erica Reiss has a pedigreed background as a cutter/colorist in demand and how lucky am I (and you too!) to have had her grace my pad with her bag of tricks and spin my gray streaked brown-orange over-processed mop into stunning gold, honey, carmels and blonde. I have the rich, warm sun-kissed Jen Lopez mane that I love. Watch out J-lo, Jew-lo’s in the hizzy!

Erica’s been known to attract top-models, musicians, actors/actresses* all seeking the best cuts/color in the business and her signature funky, “bed-head” hair.  She was the senior stylist at Jonathan Salon West Hollywood where she worked for 17 years until they closed.  Her tenure working with Jonathan Antin (you may remember her from the Bravo show “Blowout”)  has made her an expert in both cutting and coloring and now she’s flying solo.  She’ll pop over to your house and color and cut you AND your entire family.  Seriously, I know three families that have her rock out mom, dad and the kids on a fun Sat afternoon.  You can also swing over to her place near the Burbank Equestrian Center, but man, there is nothing like a house call, I am telling you.  She’s like the hair doctor (in fact, she’s a wicked color corrector).

*Let’s name drop, shall we?  Estella Warren, Megan Fox, Charlize Theron, Ellen Degeneres, Vanessa Marcil, Patricia Heaton, Jay Leno/ Personal Cutter- Presently, David Spade, Dave Navarro, Mark McGrath…

I am in love with my hair, finally the blondy blonde highlights that I worship and a perfecto-dusting of dead ends, stunning blow out ( which, btw, she will TEACH you how to do for yourself).

Please email Erica for prices as they vary with or without blow-dry and travel rates are dependent on travel time, destination and all that…Also, fist time clients must come to her home studio first.
