News

This month we’re offering a package of an
Aromatherapy Facial + an Aromatherapy Pedicure with a Sea Rock Foot Soak for
$100. Treat yourself or
that special someone. What a deal!
Did you know? Fresh Hair accepts the Boston Community Change Card, a customer loyalty card (not a credit card) that rewards you and a non-profit or local school of your choice every time you shop here. Present your card at the time of purchase and earn a 2% rebate on purchases of services or retail totaling $50 or more while also generating a cash reward for your organization of choice. Get your FREE Boston Community Change Card online at www.bostoncommunitychange.org Our Mystic Tan spray tanning sessions cost $25 each. When you take advantage of our special deal of 10 tanning sessions for $150, you can be safely tan every day for ten weeks (that’s just $2.14 per day). Look like you’ve been relaxing in the sun but don't encourage wrinkles or future skin conditions – be beautiful and be healthy! Keep your skin well-moisturized, and the glow will last even longer. Check out www.mystictan.com for more information, then come visit us! Fresh Hair will be closed for renovations from July 4 -14. The salon will be painted and the floors buffed, and we'll have a few other new looks that you’ll have to come by to see! We want to let you know so that you don’t wait to make an appointment during those days. TIP OF THE MONTH Before your skin gets toughened by the sun, learn to apply sunscreen every day. You can wear it alone or you can mix it with foundation for a smoother look. We carry the anti-aging moisturizer BioElements Year Round Protector with SPF 30, and Aveda Daily Light Guard with SPF 15, and our FH Cosmetics also has a light-diffusing foundation with SPF 8. We're still looking for a part-time esthetician, and a nail technician. Go to our Employment page for more information. Got a hair, skin, nail, cosmetic, or spray tanning question? Just send an email to info@freshhair.com and we’ll send you the answer! |

Get Fresh! | ||

We
make a difference every day. Fresh
Hair uses water warmed by the sun via the solar thermal panels on our roof
that heats the water that’s used when we shampoo your hair. Also, we have
changed over to Compact Florescent light bulbs. And we recycle as much as we
can, doing our part to keep the planet healthy. Tina
has returned and facials are $10 off (Teen Facials are $5 off) all April!
We also hope that you will come by to see the new cosmetic colors
we’re launching! In May
we’ll be having another ‘make-over evening ‘.
Stay tuned! Our
award-winning nail technician Michelle has returned after many weeks so you
can finally get your manicure, and a pedicure to begin wearing those
open-toe shoes. This month, get
both services done the same day and receive a FREE paraffin treatment for
your hands! In
our Mystic Tan spray tanning booth, a single session is $25, but save money
by signing up for 10 sessions for $150.
Come in once a week, always be tan, and always be safe.
Visit
www.mystictan.com for more information. We’re pleased to introduce you to Renee, our new Salon Coordinator, who comes to Fresh Hair with a lot of salon management experience. You can meet her in person or over the phone Mondays-Fridays until 3pm. Or request an appointment online at appointments@freshhair.com! Joy will return to hairstyling within a few weeks. Our current artist is Maya Urbanowicz whose abstract drawings will be here through 1st Thursday which begins this year on May 1 from 6-8pm. We're still looking for a part-time esthetician, and a nail technician. Go to our Employment page for more information. TIP OF THE MONTH For the past few months we’ve been offering solutions for dry hair, skin, and nails. We aren’t quite out of the woods yet, but April’s showers may require humidity-resistant products like Aveda’s Smooth Infusion line of shampoo, conditioner, and a style-prep smoother. Paul Mitchell’s Super Skinny Serum and MOP (Modern Organic Products) D-Curl also keep your hair sleek by holding the frizzies at bay. Got a hair, skin, nail, cosmetic, or spray tanning question? Just send an email to info@freshhair.com and we’ll send you the answer! |

Forward March | ||
|
|
Last month we advertised $10 off any Facials ($5 off Teen Facials), but then Tina fell on the ice and fractured her elbow! She is healing and will return March 12. This special facial deal is now extended through April! Last month we had advertised a FREE paraffin treatment with a manicure and pedicure. Then Michelle had to return home for a family emergency. She will be returning in March 25. This special will also be extended through April! Got a prom or a wedding or some other special event happening soon? Want to wear something with little spaghetti straps but need a little glow in your skin? Get a UV-Free Mystic Tan! It costs $25 for a single session, takes less than 15 minutes to do, and lasts for 7-10 days. It’s perfectly safe too, reinforcing our salon philosophy by providing a healthy alternative to traditional tanning. Check out www.mystictan,com. All gift items are now 40% off! You’re lucky that you can make St. Patrick's Day a reason to treat yourself and a loved one! We have job openings for a fulltime Salon Coordinator, a part-time esthetician, and a nail technician. Go to our Employment page for more information. |

FOR
YOUR SKIN
Get
$10 off all facials during the month of February!
Be warm, pampered, and deep-cleaned, and leave with cheeks as smooth
as a baby’s bottom. If
you feel abnormally pale, our Mystic Tan spray tanning will perk you right
up! Its safe, its easy, and its only $20 this month! (thats $5 off the
regular price). TIP
OF THE MONTH Hair
is negatively charged. Brushing the hair creates a negative charge on the
brush too. Like charges repel,
so then each hair strand tries to get away from the
others and stands up. Using an
ionic blowdryer helps prevent static electricity by producing positive ions
that cancel the charges on the hair. Fresh
Hair sells some very cute ionic blowdryers for only $40!
See
them on the shelf above the hairbrushes. Got a hair, skin, nail, cosmetic, or spray tanning question? Just send an email to info@freshhair.com and we’ll send you the answer! |

'Tis the Season to Look Amazing! | ||
|
Due to its popularity, once again we
are hosting a 'make-over' night with our new line of FH
Cosmetics! On Thursday, December 13 from 5-8pm,
our esthetician Tina will help you figure out which cosmetic color
to use for your particular skin or how to apply any of the make-up we
sell. We ask for a $10 deposit which will go toward any cosmetic
purchases that evening. Call now to sign up; space is limited!
Remember: we are open the first four Sundays in December from 12noon until 5pm! We are open on Christmas Eve until 3pm, reopening on Wednesday December 26 at 12noon. We are open on New Year's Eve until 6pm, reopening on Wednesday January 2, 2008 at 12 noon. Sadly for us but good for her, Erica who has been our Salon Coordinator for the last couple of years has left us to pursue an advanced academic career. To fill Erica’s shoes we have hired Krisann. And Tiffany has stepped up to the plate to be the Salon Coordinator. TIP OF THE MONTH: To make it easier to apply a lipliner or eyeliner pencil, soften it by warming it up! Use a blowdryer, or even keep it in your palm or close to your body for just a few minutes. (Get more tips at our make-over night! See above) Got a hair, skin, nail, cosmetic, or spray tanning question? Just send an email to info@freshhair.com and we’ll send you the answer! |

Back to School | ||

We
are proud to introduce FH Cosmetics. Tina,
our esthetician, was the primary hand in picking the items and colors, and
she is available for cosmetic consultations (15min free), applications (reg.
$30, but now $20 through September!) and lessons.
She does brides too!
Once again, for '1st Thursday' on September 6, we are hosting an open house for this month’s artist Sandy Papson from 6-8 pm. Jonathan will also be here offering chair massages ($1 per minute with a 5 minute minimum). Come by and join us! As you may or may not know, the small copying and faxing center next door is affiliated with the salon. Career opportunities are available for an enterprising and creative person. See www.freshcopyjp.com for more information. Our Michelle is responsible for
Fresh Hair winning BEST NEIGHBORHOOD MANICURE for Boston Magazine’s Best
of Boston! See us in the August
issue, pg 197. By the way, Michelle thinks she should really be recognized for her eyebrow waxing. You can help by going to www.bostonmagazine.com/best_of and nominate her using her name with our salon name in the services category. Katie got married! See the picture of Katie with her new husband (who was her longtime boyfriend) John. Debbie is back at work this month on Saturday September 8th.

Its our 25th birthday! | ||
|
It's true! Fresh Hair opened on July 15, 1982.
Come take a walk with us down memory lane - stop by to view our photo
retrospective. Maybe you’ll
see yourself or recognize an old friend! Another reason to celebrate is that all retail is 25% OFF all July! That’s right: every item we carry for hair, skin, and nails is on sale. Earrings, too! The staff has selected their own personal favorite products. Maybe you’ll agree with them, maybe you won’t, maybe you’re looking for advice, whatever: come read their reasons why. We will be closed on Wednesday
July 4, reopening at noon on Thursday July 5th. We are continuing to follow our environmental mission: every time a light bulb burns out, we are replacing it with a Compact Florescent light bulb. We’re just doing our part to slow global warming. We have adopted the two flower barrels by the park benches across the side street from the salon. And Ferris Wheels next door planted and hung our new window boxes. Summer is pretty (just like you)!

All of our products that contain sunscreens (shampoos, conditioners, styling aids, and skin care with an SPF of either 15 or 30) are 20% off this month. And because you may really want to look tan, we are offering coupons for 20% off spray tanning: buy them this month and you can use them through September. All it takes is about 15 minutes and a few hours later - voila, tan! We were also featured in the May issue of Allure Magazine (page 161) for our safe, inexpensive, and natural looking spray tans. There has been some bad press recently about the toxic chemicals found in many nail polishes. We have checked it out and are happy to report that OPI, the brand of nail polishes that we sell, have been reformulating their stock for over a year. There is no DBP, toluene or formaldehyde in their new shades. For much more information, go to www.opi.com, click on Beauty Associations, and click on OPI Cares for product safety information. We were featured on Chronicle on
May 29th. We had the
spot right before the break mid-show, and got an extra plug from the show’s
hosts! Go to www.thebostonchannel.com/chronicle
and find us by date in the archives. Fresh Hair is turning 25 in
July! If you have been a client
since we opened, or if you have any stories or special memories of the olden
days in the salon, send us an email at 25years@freshhair.com
so we can give YOU a present! We will be closed on Wednesday July 4, reopening at noon on Thursday July 5th. |

New Faces and Old
Staff Changes |

Debbie’s back from her second maternity leave. She’s in one Saturday a month with plans to add time in April. Mel is back at Fresh Hair after realizing the grass elsewhere is not always greener. She is behind the chair weekday afternoons and evenings. Tina gave birth to Andrew at the end of January and is extremely happy! She plans to return to work part-time in April. Anette is a new esthetician currently working some of Tina’s hours. She is here part-time through March. Linda has returned from her annual winter sojourn, and is currently working three days a week. Silvana is a new nail technician covering the hours around Michelle’s schedule. After training her, Silvana was so good that Michelle finally got a pedicure! Michelle can now do hair extensions (the glue-in kind) on Wednesdays. It takes about an hour for $60. You have to bring your own hair extensions. A consultation beforehand is preferable but not absolutely necessary. Shauron is our new hairstylist, bringing his downtown skills and professional attitude to our corner of the world. |

Fresh Hair is Expanding! | ||
|
Joy breaks through the wall to the addition. |
After much anticipation, we are pleased to announce the opening of Fresh Hair's expansion! Always forward looking, Fresh Hair has taken advantage of recently vacated space to install two new structures and rearrange the salon in a less crowded manner. In the new space, we now have a backwash, an ergonomically correct shampoo sink that makes both the client and the hairdresser more comfortable. The hairdryers have been moved out of the nail care area into this new adjacent room so no one is crowded or waiting. The nail care area will now be able to accommodate a luxurious spa-like chair for the wonderful experience of pedicures. |
