Mare Salon for Joico’s K-PAK Color Therapy Luster Lock

July 26, 2016

Today, hair frazzled and fried from my usual neglect, I entered Mare, the uber chic Weho hair salon, owned by celebrity colorist, Dennis De Souza for my virgin experience with Joico’s K-PAK Color Therapy Luster Lock .

Ladies, if you color, abuse, or in any way neglect your locks, this is the treatment to save you! My hair was begging for some magic and Joico delivered. Check out these pics below (beautiful woman with long blonde hair is not me, but model on hand to demonstrate a before/after):

Dennis could not have been more gracious, welcoming and elegantly professional as he masterfully applied the K-PAK Color Therapy Luster Lock treatment and let it work its magic for a good five minutes. This is an at-home deep conditioning treatment I fully intend to continue with for my thirsty hair! (Dennis’ hands sold separately).

After the hair mask was rinsed, I had the best blow out and then coiffure by two of the excellent stylists on board.  

My hair was as silky as mink coat, styled perfectly and shining in the (HOT as Hades) LA sunshine. 

Yes, I walked out of there like a slo-mo hair care commercial, but more importantly with healthy hair.

FORKS OVER KNIVES FAMILY : Raising a healthy plant based diet family

9781476753324

New York Times bestselling authors of The Forks Over Knives Plan and stars of the trailblazing Forks Over Knives film have a new book for your entire family titled, FORKS OVER KNIVES FAMILY (on-sale September 6, 2016; Touchstone) by Los Angeles based authors ALONA PULDE, MD, and MATTHEW LEDERMAN, MD.  

This year marks the 5th anniversary of the release of the Forks Over Knives film. Backed by scientific research, the film’s doctors and expert researchers made the radical (but convincing!) case that modern diseases can be prevented and often reversed by removing meat, dairy, and highly refined foods from one’s diet. The documentary sparked a medical and nutritional revolution, leading more and more people to adopt a whole-food, plant-based lifestyle—including celebrities like Ariana Grande, Dr. Oz, and Katy Perry. 

Now Doctors Pulde and Lederman want to revolutionize the way you feed your kids! With FORKS OVER KNIVES FAMILY, they share relatable insights into their own journey of raising two young daughters on a whole-food, plant-based diet.

  • Can we transition to plant-based living if we already have a houseful of kids?
  • What about social gatherings?
  • What happens if my kids rebel?
  • What are some popular kid-friendly snacks and meals?
  • Can I transition to a plant-based, whole food diet while pregnant?

FORKS OVER KNIVES FAMILY is the in-depth, go-to guide for the entire household and Doctors Alona Pulde and Matthew Lederman are the leading experts.
