Autumn is Upon Us

Fresh Hair won the distinction of having JP's Best Personal Service as voted by the readers of the Jamaica Plain Gazette!  Thank you, everyone for your ongoing support.  It really means a lot to us!

We have Feather Extensions!  See Jody modeling them in the picture to your left. These are rooster feathers that are attached to a few strands of your hair with a small bead. Once attached, they can be washed, blowdried, and even curled or flattened with irons!  They cost $12 for the first feather, and $10 for each additional feather.  As your hair grows out, they can be loosened and then slid closer to your scalp, so your one-time investment is good for months!

We have two new staff members: Nga, who has spent the last two months training with Joy, is now our Junior Hairstylist.  Her fee, through December, is $30 for a shampoo, haircut, and blowdry.  Margarita is our new apprentice who will become a junior hairstylist when she completes her training.  See our Staff page for more information.

About a week ago, Richard, Katie, and Mel all left Fresh Hair, having decided to cast their fates elsewhere.  However, please be reassured that no one else is moving on.  Also, through August, Joy has opened up her schedule and will honor the prices these three were charging.  She looks forward to serving you!

Really, new news

We had a fire in our clothes dryer this past Tuesday.  It was pretty scary but all is well.  We were back in business in less than an hour!

We want to introduce Paula, our new esthetician.  She does all of the facials and waxing services that we offer.  See our Staff page for her picture, and see our Services and Prices page for more information.

                        3/1/11  

Hope Springs Eternal

We have Shellac, the long-wearing gel polish will not chip or smudge for two full weeks and there is zero drying time: when the manicure is done, you can put on your gloves immediately!  It takes a little more time than a regular manicure because each coat of polish has to be cured under an ultraviolet light for a minute or two, and it costs a little more than a regular manicure, but it is amazing! 

 

Take a Fake-ation! Choose one service each from our menu for hair care + skin care (includes spray tanning, make-up, and waxing) + nail care (including our new Shellac manicures) and receive 20% off!    You need to receive a minimum of three services to be eligible for the discount. If you are unable to get all the services at one time, you can still receive the discount if you prepay for the others. All services must be completed during the month of March.

Does your hair blow around in the famous wind of March? This month, all Paul Mitchell and Aveda hairsprays are on sale at
20% off!  We've got the products that will help you stay well-groomed all day long!  


Our esthetician Tina is teaching a series of classes at Brookline Adult Education: Tips and Tricks with Cosmetics, and Makeup for the Mature Woman. She is no stranger to teaching, having already been recruited back to her own training school to teach new esthetic students.

Bad Weather

The skin on your face is the most exposed area of your body every day.  Get a facial to soothe any dry flaky skin, soften any fine lines that are beginning to appear as cracks, and make you feel wonderfully pampered.  This month, all regular facials are $10 off (teen facials are $5 off).  And with any facial, all skin care products are also 20% off! Schedule some time for yourself now

Aveda recently instituted price increases for almost everything in their line.  But we know the economy has yet to totally improve, and so during February, all Aveda products are 20% off!  Its a great deal!

We all know the cracking of the skin near our fingernails: ouch! Our feet too feel more rough this time of year.
We offer
a service that wraps your hands and feet in warm cream and allows your skin to soak up all of its moisturizing goodness. This is generally not done with a manicure or pedicure because the cream interferes with new polish.  Set aside some time now to soften your hands and feet!

When we have to stay closed due to the bad weather conditions or a parking ban in Boston, you will know by calling 617-524-6867 or you can look at the 'about' page here for the most up-to-date information.  Meanwhile, dress warmly and be careful on the ice!

By the way, when Boston public schools are closed, park in the lot behind us (access from Carolina Ave which is one way coming out to South St).

Tip of the Month   Before your skin gets toughened by the sun, get in the habit of applying sunscreen every day.  Your face is the most exposed skin of your body.  Always wear sunscreen, either alone or combined with foundation for a smoother look.   We carry the anti-aging BioElements Year Round Protector with SPF 30 and Sun Diffusing Protector with SPF 15, and Aveda Daily Light Guard with SPF 15, and our FH Cosmetics also have a light-diffusing foundation with SPF 8.

This month all texturizing products for the hair are on sale at 20% off!  These styling aids add definition to the shape of your hair.  Some products let the hair remain pliable, and some get stiff.  Some add shine, and some give a matte finish.  What would you like your hair to do?  We can show you how.

Got a special event to go to?  We can do a fabulous updo for your hair. You may also want a professional make-up application.  If you're showing off your toes in some slinky sandals, you may need a pedicure, and for your hands a manicure.  We can accommodate your schedule and help you present a totally polished and groomed you!

Spring Is In The Air
Take a Fake-ation!  For $100, get some face-framing foil highlights, a spray tan, and a tropical manicure!  That's a lot less expensive than airfare and a hotel room!

Get a brow wax or threading, and get $10 off a facial too!  Facials are like getting your teeth cleaned, something you can't do for yourself, but much more relaxing.  Jenn and Tina will also explain the best way to take care of your skin at home.

Become a fan of Fresh Hair on Facebook!  Look for specials there too whenever we have time!

We're also in the Metro newspaper every other Tuesday in the Style section.  Check it out!

Tip of the Month for flat hair:  The temperature outside is just beginning to rise, and there may be some precipitation, but generally we can only count on the wind.  So what do you do when your hair is flat and full of static?  Use products that add volume to your hair.  Generally these also calm the strands a bit so you won't look too wild. To help you help yourself, these recommended products are on sale this month for 20% off.

Moisturize Yourself!
When the heat is on inside our buildings, we may be warm but the moisture is being pulled out of the air.  Outside too the air lacks moisture.  Our hair, our skin, and our nails are drying out!     We have remedies: 

Facials plump up and soften up the skin.  All Facials during February are $10 off!  

If your hair is full of static electricity and is flyaway, we have many great moisturizing conditioners from Aveda, Paul Mitchell, and DevaCurl.  And here's a tip: use just a bit of any conditioner like hand cream, then finger comb your hair.  Voila: softer hands and silkier hair!

Do you ever get those persistent and painful cracks in the skin surrounding your fingernails?  Try a Thermasoft treatment.  These are individual gloves (we have them for your feet too) packed with warm moisturizers.  Include the treatment while you're getting a haircut, or while your color is processing, or even during a facial.  

Did you know?  you can send an online request for an appointment to appointments@freshhair.com anytime!

Happy New Year!
Just in time to replenish your cabinets, or to get what you really wanted for the holidays, get 20% off any retail purchases totaling $25 or more!

Beat the winter's cracking nails and fingertips: get a manicure or try a Thermasoft Treatment.  Robin is here six days a week (Michelle is travelling, showing off her baby) and she can also enliven your winter with miniature paintings on your nails! 

Eyelash Extensions are here. Jenn has perfected her technique; just check out the very flattering and totally natural looking eyelashes on one of our staff on the Services page of this website.

This month we are featuring the mixed media paintings of Ren Pilinger.

Tip of the Month - Your hair will be less fly-away if you use a drop (literally, the size of a split pea) of conditioner, combing it through and leaving it on after a shampoo.  You save time because there’s no second rinse, you save money because you use so little, and your hands feel great because the conditioner acts like a hand cream for you. Try it! 

12/1/09

Happy Holidays!
This month when you buy a Gift Card for $50 or more, we will put $10 on your account here towards your next service!

Especially made for this season, we have a glittery black liquid eyeliner, a red velvet lipstick, and cinnabar blush.  With the purchase of this new On The Town Collection, you get a cute sparkly make-up bag too!

This year, Katie had a baby girl in May, Sophie had a baby boy in July, and Michelle had a baby boy in August.  Joy had hip replacements in March and in October.  Finally they are all back to work (part-time).  Find their schedules on our Staff page.

Tip of the Month - Be prepared for anything this month: a holiday party, a shopping spree, or friends and relatives dropping by.  Be sure to have close at hand a hairbrush and some light hold hairspray, a lipstick, and a nail file and some quick-drying nail polish. Need assistance? Just ask: consultations are free. We've got these products and the the knowledge to use them! 

This month we are featuring the beautiful blue-tone paintings of Sandy Papson

Our nail technician Robin is also artistically talented: she paints tiny designs on your fingernails (or toenails, if you will be exposing them in this weather) for any occasion.

We are now carrying some of the Moroccan Oil hair care products. Its not for everybody, but those of you with coarse hair will love its ability to civilize even the most disobedient strands. Check out our display.

Downhearted about the change in the weather? Get 25% off a service you've never had before at Fresh Hair!  (Also, you must be over the age of 14).  Experience a relaxing facial.  Get a french pedicure (who cares if you're not exposing your toes right now - see the additional deal below).  Have you always wanted to try a few highlights in your hair?  Maybe a spray tan will make you feel better by keeping that summer glow going.  A cosmetics lesson will help you bring out your best features.  Go ahead and save while you treat yourself!

This month on Tuesdays and Thursdays get a manicure for $5 when you combine it with a pedicure! ($10 for a French manicure).  And yes, if you've never had these services, you can get an additional 25% off of the total (see above)!

Back To Real Life

Did your haircolor fade this summer? Or maybe you were inside too much, escaping the heat, and got no sun at all.  We can help! This month, any haircoloring that you’ve never had done here before, or not in the last full year, is $10 off!

Our local newspaper’s annual Best of JP contest is happening again.  Please vote for us by going to www.jamaicaplaingazette.com and putting Fresh Hair in as the Best Personal Service in #13!   Please note that if you complete the contest in the newspaper, the category Best Personal Service is #17.  

1st Thursday will be this week, September 3, featuring the paintings of Janet Zeolla and Michael Karas, and the stained glass pieces of June Alexandra.  Drop by between 6-8pm for the opening viewing.

Instead of having yet one more card for a discount, be rewarded for shopping locally.      Get $10 off for every $100 worth of retail products purchased at Fresh Hair!  If you have been using one of our Frequent Buyer cards, bring it in and we will put $1 towards your discount for every stamp on the card.  

Don’t want to let go of that glow?  We offer Mystic Tan Spray Tanning.  It’s safe, quick and not expensive.   

Our nail technician Michelle gave birth to Diego on August 7 and he is just as beautiful as his mother !  Our hairstylist Sophie is returning part-time this month after her maternity leave.  Katie is also back part-time.

We will be closed for Labor Day weekend, both Saturday Sept 5 and Monday Sept 7.

Hot Times

Michelle's 
Baby Shower 

a paper mache 
baby bottle
Our hairstylist Sophie gave birth to a beautiful baby boy, Alex, on July 22!

Our nail technician, Michelle, has begun her maternity leave a little sooner than expected.  But don't despair: we have Robin! She is very capable and friendly, and here for you (especially French style manicures and pedicures) Monday through Saturday.

Our hairstylist Katie is returning part-time this month after her maternity leave.

Thursday August 6 is 1st Thursday again from 6-8pm. We will be showing the color photographs of artist Carol Krauss.

For Back-to-School we are putting all products larger than 16oz on sale for 25% off.  Remember that we also have hairbrushes and travel size blowdryers and flatirons. 

We've been getting some requests for the new Keratin Straightening Treatment but we are unable to offer it at this time.  This is because there are truly no formulas that we have found that are totally safe.  Many products that are marketed as 'formaldehyde-free' still contain formalin. This chemical is non-toxic on its own, however, when it is heated with a flat iron as it is for the treatment, the formalin releases formaldehyde gas.  The experts in the salon industry are advising that both the person doing the treatment and the client getting the treatment wear gas masks during this service!  This is definitely not in keeping with Fresh Hair's entire natural philosophy!  Check out hubpages.com and many other sources for more information.

On the last night of every month, our block of stores will be hosting Last Night with discounts and entertainment,  Come on by to see the action starting at 7pm on the last night of every month!

Our hairstylist Mel is now offering hair extensions in lengths up to 18" in a wide variety of colors and textures.  Come in for a free 30 min. consultation.  Lots more information is available at www.freshhair.com/services.htm   Now we can make your hair longer!

Remember that for a healthy summer glow, we have a Mystic Tan spray tanning booth. Get 10 tans for $150.  Come in once a week, always be tan, and always be safe.

We will be closed on Saturday September 5 and Monday September 7 for the Labor Day weekend.

Want an appointment for a service?  You can book online by sending an email to appointments@freshhair.com anytime!

Is It Finally Really Summer?

Please let us introduce you to our new Nail Technician, Robin.  She comes to us with three years experience, and she does a very good job with both regular and French style manicures and pedicures.  To entice you, this month we are offering $10 off any manicure+pedicure done during the mornings on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Fridays!

Thursday July 2 is 1st Thursday again from 6-8pm.  Our artist this month is Lucilda Cooper, showing her tranquil watercolors of ocean scenery.

On the last night of every month, our block of stores will be hosting Last Night with discounts and entertainment,  Come on by to see the action starting at 7pm on the last night of every month!

Our hairstylist Mel is now offering hair extensions in lengths up to 18" in a wide variety of colors and textures.  Come in for a free 30 min. consultation.  Lots more information is available at www.freshhair.com/services.htm   Now we can make your hair longer!

As mentioned in last month’s newsletter, we are eliminating Modern Organic Products from our shelves at Fresh Hair.  Whatever is left is now at 50% off.

Its true: Katie, Sophie, and Michelle are all pregnant!  Katie just left for maternity leave; we’ll let you know when her baby is born.  She is planning to return in early August.  Sophie is due in July, and Michelle is due in late August.  See the picture ‘pretty pregos in pink’.

If you are having any flu symptoms, please stay home and rest.  Reschedule your appointment for when you are well; we will understand.  Its better to be safe than sorry.

TIP OF THE MONTH  Before your skin gets toughened by the sun, get in the habit of applying sunscreen every day.  Your face is the most exposed skin of your body.  Always wear sunscreen, either alone or combined with foundation for a smoother look.   We carry the anti-aging BioElements Year Round Protector with SPF 30 and Sun Diffusing Protector with SPF 15, and Aveda Daily Light Guard with SPF 15, and our FH Cosmetics also have a light-diffusing foundation with SPF 8.

Dryness Despite Lots of Snow

Here are some solutions for when your hair is flyaway and full of static, your skin itches, and your nails and cuticles crack with the lack of moisture:   

For your hair, get a deep conditioning treatment in the salon under a warm dryer.  Continue the benefits at home by actually leaving a small amount of moisturizing conditioner on your hair.                                                                                                   For your skin, we have some great creams for sale: Aveda Hand Relief and Aveda Foot Relief, Paul Mitchell Lemongrass Energizing Body Butter and Paul Mitchell Lavender Relaxing Body Balm.  All of these have light pleasing fragrances and absorb completely.                                                                                                                        For your nails, Aveda makes a terrific Cuticle Oil.  Massage it in once a day and keep both your nails and your cuticles free of cracks!  

This month we are offering you $10 off a facial.  This is another way to deeply hydrate your skin, and get a relaxing one and a half hours too.  Or if your hands really need the moisturizing, with a facial we will give you a FREE Thermasoft hand treatment.  Go to www.freshhair.com/services.htm for more information.

For Valentine’s Day, consider giving a Gift Card to your sweetheart for a luxurious time in the salon!  

Remember that our Referral Contest goes from January until June 30th.  If you send us six new clients during this time, we will give you a $500 Gift Card!  If less than six new clients say that you sent them, you will still get $5 off for each new referral.

Pick up some Fresh Facts now in our brochure rack.  Learn how to better care for your hair, skin, and nails.  Get your questions answered and figure out the next right thing to do for yourself!

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!

Cold winter, hot deals!
Win a $500 Gift Card good for any services and products in the salon!  All you have to do is spread our good name: refer six new clients to us between January 1st and June 30th, and you will be happy for a long time!

All of our gift items are now on sale at 20% off, but with any service, any gift items that you buy are an additional 20% off!

No matter the state of the world, you still need our services!  If you have a job, we are a relatively affordable luxury.  For example, you get a lot of pampering with a $15 manicure,  A good haircut lasts a lot longer than a good meal, and it’s noticed by more people that a new item of clothing.  If unfortunately you don’t have a job, you still need to look good in order to get a job.  Come on by, we’re always happy to see you.   

Take a Fake-A-Tion!  Come by the salon for a relaxing massage, a few blonde highlights, a spray tan, and some coral-colored nailpolish, and you will look like you’ve been relaxing in some sunny climes!

If you have ever had a bad reaction to the wax used for hair removal, we offer Sugaring.  Our esthetician Jazmin also offers threading for the eyebrows which uses no wax at all.  See more information about both of these techniques on our Services page.

Our esthetic offerings have grown with the hire of another esthetician, Jasmin.  She comes to Fresh Hair well-trained and highly competent in all facials, and for hair removal services she also offers threading, an alternative to using wax or sugar paste.  For those who want more than a bikini waxing, she can do brazilian waxes.  

Jasmin is here Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays.  Tina works on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays.  Now you can get your skin care services any day that we’re open!   For more information, go to our Services & Prices page.   For an appointment, call us at 617-524-6867, or send an email to appointments@freshhair.com.

Autumn Beauty
Fresh Hair was again voted in the J.P. Gazette’s contest as Best Personal Service!  And as a wonderful surprise, we were also voted the Friendliest Business in J.P.!  We strive to be both professional and friendly, and it’s wonderful to be recognized as such.  Thank you, everyone!

This month of October, any service (excluding massage) that is new for you here is 25% off.  So if you’ve always gotten haircuts but have thought about haircolor, now is the time to try it.  Or perhaps you’ve heard about the relaxing experiences of facials or pedicures.  We recognize that the general economy is affecting everyone, and we want to help you help us.

Debbie’s #3 is Timothy Joseph, born in late September and very healthy!  When will Debbie be returning to work?  We guess after the holidays but know no exact date yet.

Last month the outside of our building was painted.  Now our new look is complete.  We hope you like it!

Fresh Hair will be closed for Labor Day weekend on both Saturday August 31st and Monday September 1st.   

Let us remind you: haircolor fades in the sun, but we carry sunscreens for the hair.  Come by and look for the little yellow suns on specific items that signify which of our products protect against UVA and UVB rays.

Debbie's pregnant with #3 

Fresh Hair will be closed for renovations from July 4 -13.  The salon will be painted and the floors buffed, and we have a few other new looks that you’ll have to come by to see! 

You can still schedule an appointment while we're closed: just leave a voice mail and someone will call you back, or send a request to appointments@freshhair.com and we will respond!

To those of you who have July birthdays and are on our list to get $5 off during the month of your birthday, we are extending your discount until 8/15 to make up for the fact that we'll be closed most of the beginning of July.

The best news we can give you is that Erica Lee is resuming the Salon Coordinator position! She will be the lovely voice on the phone or the bright smile when she greets you in person Monday-Friday days.

Because we will be closing 7/4 for renovations, we are not hosting 1st Thursdays this month.  Visit us next for this event on August 7.

And for that tough old guy in your life: buy Dad a Gift Card for a facial and you’ll automatically be entered in our drawing for free facial for yourself!  

Thursday, June 5, was the local celebration 1st Thursday from 6 to 8pm.  We are showing the fantastic close up color photographs of Kerry Moffitt this month.  During this opening, our henna artist Sue was here to inspire you to reveal a decorated spot of skin, and Cynthia McCarthy had a table of her southwestern style jewelry for sale.

We're still looking for a part-time esthetician, and a nail technician.  Go to our Employment page for more information.

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.

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.

TIP OF THE MONTH    As spring approaches and nature renews itself, Fresh Hair encourages you to take some time to renew yourself as well. Instead of getting caught up in a rush of work, school, errands, and chores, give yourself a little break and visit us.  Our services are no more expensive than dinner at a nice restaurant, the results are seen more than a new sweater, and they last a lot longer!

Solutions to the Mid-Winter Blahs

 

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).

FOR YOUR NAILS   When you come in for both a manicure and a pedicure, try a paraffin treatment for your hands for FREE!  It’s regularly a $5 charge, but we believe in its power to cure dry skin and want you to become a believer too.  Its fun and works amazingly well!

FOR YOUR HAIR   The dry weather, indoors and out, puts almost everyone’s hair at its worst. Haircolor, either all over or in highlights, plumps up the hair shaft.  Hair products like mousse and spray gels, give the hair added body.  Get some haircolor done and and get 20% off the products that will support your new full head of hair that have been recommended by your hairstylist!

Flyaway hair is best cured with deep conditioning treatments.  These can be done in the salon, or you can take some products home and do them yourself.  In-salon treatments are $5 off this month (regularly $10-$20). If you decide to do a deep conditioning treatment at home, we’ll give you 20% off any of the specific conditioning products we will recommend for your particular hair type.

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.

New: Year, Deals, Staff

 

 

The holidays may be over, but the deals are just starting.  This month all of our gift items are on sale at 25% off!  Even the earrings that we sell, usually with the deal of 20% off whenever you buy three or more pairs, are now 25% off when you buy three or more pairs!

Our next Cosm(et)ic Event will be on Thursday, January 24 from 5-8pm. (the last evening we had scheduled for makeovers got snowed out!).  Its FREE, although we do ask for a $10 deposit to hold your space.  This fee will go toward any cosmetic purchases that evening.  Tina will help you figure out which cosmetic colors are best for you and how to apply them.   Call now to sign up; space is limited!

Now answering our phones are Julia and Brittany, who along with Tiffany, our Salon Coordinator, should be able to answer any and all of your questions.  For even more information, send an email to info@freshhair.com.

Banish the pale of winter before you go on vacation to a warm and sunny spot.  Start off with some color by getting spray tanned in our Mystic Tan booth.  You’ll look relaxed and healthy, and no one will know that you just flew into town. It’s safe, quick, and inexpensive!  Check out our website for more information.

TIP OF THE MONTH   Products really do help.  We have Avoplex Oil for dry nails and cuticles, Aveda’s Smoothing Fluids to control the static of flyaway hair, and BioElements moisturizers for your face.                                            Buying these products is not enough: you must actually use them! 

12/15/07

Because of the snow and ice storm predicted for tomorrow, Fresh Hair will not be open as we usually are on Sundays in December.

12/1/07

'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!

11/1/07

'Tis the Season to Begin Again

On Thursday, November 15 from 5-8pm, our esthetician Tina is hosting a 'make-over' night with our new line of FH Cosmetics!  For a $10 deposit which will go toward any cosmetic purchases that evening, 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.  Call now to sign up; space is limited!

Come see our Gift Table which has been reset with lots of items perfect for gift-giving.  Most of the gifts that we offer are $20 and under.  We know that the season can be difficult for many and yet everyone wants to participate, so here’s your opportunity to make people happy easily!

This month we are offering a free brow wax with a facial.  Be prepared before the stress of the busy holiday season gets to you!

Do you know that you can add money to a Gift Card?  If your child likes to come in on her/his own for services and products, a Gift Card can act like a debit card towards your account.  What a great way to keep them happy all year!

For Thanksgiving, we close at 6pm the night before, this year Wednesday November 21.  We’re closed on Thursday, and we open at 12 noon on Friday November 23.

To help you get everything done, remember that we are open the first four Sundays in December from 12noon until 5pm.

TIP OF THE MONTH:  By using only a drop (literally, the size of a split pea) of conditioner, combing it through and leaving it on after a shampoo, you save time because there’s no second rinse, you save money because you use so little, and your hands feel great because the conditioner acts like a hand cream for you. Try it!

Autumnal happenings

Once again, Fresh Hair was voted as JP’s Best Personal Service!  It’s wonderful to be recognized for our skills and for the salon’s comfort level. Thank you, everyone!  

When you recommend a new client to us, we give you $5 off your next service!  If you bring us a new client on the same day as your appointment, you each get $5 off any one service!

Have you tried FH Cosmetics?  Our cosmetic colors feature the latest trends as well as all the basics. You can have a FREE consultation (fifteen minutes), a lesson in how to apply cosmetics, or you can have your make-up expertly applied for a special day.  

You don’t have to go straight into the pale set.  We offer Mystic Tan spray tanning.  It’s safe, quick, and not expensive.  Find more information on our Services page.

By the way, Debbie's schedule is updated on our Staff page monthly.

Richard has had a few health issues lately but wants to reassure everyone that he is feeling better and will be back at work soon.  

STYLING TIP OF THE MONTH: As the humidity lessens and the heat gets turned on, your hair will stay in better shape by not completely rinsing out all of your conditioner after you shampoo.  We sell some leave-in conditioners that are made for this purpose, although any conditioner will do as long as you use just a very small amount (about the size of a pea).

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.

We would also welcome an online review at www.citysearch.com .  We currently have 4.5 stars and are reaching for the top!

In the local realm, we are once again in the running for Best Personal Service in the Jamaica Plain Gazette.  Please vote for us at www.jamaicaplaingazette.com, in category #17.  Deadline is September 7th!

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.  Her schedule will be posted on this website as soon as we know each month.

Kids Need Haircuts and So Do You
Children age 13 and under get half price haircuts (regularly $15-20) when done with a regularly priced haircut by the same hairstylist.  Get back to the grind looking great!

8/1/07

Summer Winds Down

Available August 1-18 only:  Get two or more haircare services the same day and get 15% off each.  Choose at least two: a haircut, haircolor, foil highlights, or permanent wave.  Blowdrys and curling iron or flat iron work, which are generally the finishing part of the other services mentioned, are not included in this promotion.  

From August 20 through September 30, children’s haircuts (age 13 and under) will be half price when done with a full priced haircut by the same hairstylist.  Kids need haircuts and so do you!

As baby number 2 gets older, Debbie is adding days to her schedule.  She will here on Saturday August 11, August 18, and September 8.   Call 617-524-6867 or email appointments@freshhair.com for an appointment!

Once again on August 2nd we will be part of our neighborhood celebration of the arts from 6-8 pm.  This month we continue to offer chair massages ($1 per minute with a 5 minute minimum). Our henna artist, Sue, will also be here to do henna tattoos (price depends on the complexity of the design you choose).  

Aveda has just come out with a new line of haircare products specifically for men.  Testosterone generally produces more oil in the scalp, and the new high performance shampoo works together with the Pure-Formance Conditioner to soothe, refresh and relieve the scalp.  The styling products also add a healthy shine (not too much) to your hair, with some holding power.

Fresh Hair will be closed for Labor Day weekend on both Saturday September 1st and Monday September 3rd.  This year 9/1 will be a special day as Katie, one of our own, is getting married!

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)!

 

6/1/07

We all welcome summer

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.

We now offer ‘sugaring’ in addition to waxing.  This is a completely non-toxic paste of sugar and lemon juice that is used just like wax, but it never burns you because it doesn’t need to be heated as high, you don’t have to wait for the hair to grow out as much because it doesn’t have to be as long as it does for waxing (one eighth vs one quarter inch), and the clean-up is done with warm water only!  Unfortunately, we have to admit that pulling out the hair is going to hurt no matter what, but at least you can be assured that this time it’ll be sweet!

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.

4/1/07

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.

Price Increases & Honors
We will be increasing some prices as of January 2007.  We haven't had a price increase since 12/03.  But we promise it will be worth every penny.  Fresh Hair was once again awarded the JP Gazette's award for Best Personal Service 2006.  Periodic price increases are necessary for us to continue to offer the highest quality and most up-to-date services in a warm, comfortable environment.  Next door, Fresh Copy won Friendliest Business after being open for less than a year!  Thanks to everyone who voted for us!   
Go see a great show!
Our very own Richard is directing The Full Monty at the Footlight Club in November.  It promises to be a great time for all!

7/15/06

Doors Closing and Opening
Staff changes within
This past month has seen three of our hairstylists move on to new jobs.  Mary left to be a mommy!  Ron has taken his skills to the bright lights downtown.  Mel is concentrating on getting into photo work.  As we say goodbye to old faces, we say hello to two new ones as well.  Welcome Jennifer and Sophie to the Fresh Hair family!  They both come with experience and highly recommended.  We look forward to you discovering their talents.  

7/15/06

Make your hectic life easier by getting all your personal grooming needs attended to in one day.  Schedule two or more services for the same day and get 10% off the whole bill!  This applies to appointments in different departments (hair, skin, nail, & cosmetics) only, not services within a department.  So you need a cut and color but also want a facial or a pedicure?  Schedule them all within the same day for a real break!

5/11/06

Tend to Your Skin
Does your skin get irritated by hair removal procedures?

We are now carrying TendSkin, a liquid aspirin that helps to reduce the appearance of inflammation from shaving and waxing.  It helps with ‘razor bumps’ and ingrown hairs, visibly improving the look and the feel of inflamed areas such as the neck, underarms, and bikini area.  Our estheticians are using it in the salon, and you can also buy some for home use to maintain the clarity of your skin.

3/13/05

STREEEEEEETCH!
Staff becomes yogis

The staff at Fresh Hair loves their jobs, but standing and cutting hair all day can be exhausting.  To help combat aches and fatigue, yoga instructor Carol Nelson conducted a special workshop at the salon for the staff.  She demonstrated some simple stretches and poses that the staff can do while at work.  So don't be surprised if you see someone in downward dog or tree pose!      

8/20/05

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.
