			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h1 class="subject">How to get volume in my hair?</h1>
<p><strong>How to do it:</strong></p>
<p>1.       <strong>Spray Dry Roots</strong> with volumizer, blow &#8211; dry for a few minutes, then set the top half of hair in Velcro rollers.</p>
<div id="attachment_320" class="wp-caption alignright" style="width: 170px"><img class="size-medium wp-image-320" title="How to get volume in hair" src="http://salontrendz.files.wordpress.com/2009/02/getting-volume-to-your-hair1.jpg?w=160&#038;h=240" alt="How to get volume in hair" width="160" height="240" /><p class="wp-caption-text">How to get volume in hair</p></div>
<p>2.       <strong>Use A Thin Elastic</strong> to fasten the rest of hair into a low, loose ponytail at the nape of the neck.</p>
<p>3.       <strong>Gently Tease</strong> the ends of the ponytail, then fold it under and secure with pins, &#8220;This creates the foundation and shape for the entire look&#8221;.</p>
<p>4.       <strong>Remove Rollers</strong>, brush out curls and pin the middle layer under and into the ponytail.</p>
<p>5.       <strong>For Extra Volume And Bounce</strong>, blow-dry the top layer of hair with a round brush; make a deep side part and let hair fall. Pin where necessary to create a clean line.</p>
<h1><strong>Folded ponytail</strong></h1>
<p><strong>How to Do It</strong></p>
<p>1.       <strong>Separate Hair</strong> into four sections: crown, left, right and back.<span id="more-318"></span></p>
<p>2.       <strong>Pull The Back Section</strong> into a tight ponytail at the center of head. It should be at the same eye level as you.</p>
<p>3.       <strong>Spritz All Around </strong>the ponytail with hairspray, then work a quarter &#8211; size amount of gel onto the sides and back.</p>
<p>4.       <strong>Wrap Left Section</strong> of hair around the ponytail as many times as you need to, until there is just a bit of hair left, then pin the ends into the base. Repeat on right side.</p>
<p>5.       <strong>Tease The Crown</strong>, then tuck the ends into the center of the ponytail with the point of a rattail brush. Spritz with hairspray to secure top, then run a flatiron over the ponytail.</p>

<p><strong><br />
Home Coloring Tips<br />
</strong>You can get really results with the new home-coloring products. They have become so easy to use that they&#8217;re practically fool proof, and ever so natural-looking.</p>
<ul type="disc">
<li>Deep condition before you color</li>
<li>Wait two days after shampooing before coloring. The color will adhere better, since your scalp is more sensitive after shampooing, it will make the process more comfortable. Plus the natural oils in your hair will protect it.</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Long Hair Care Tips</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Try to avoid sleeping with very tight braids or pony tails. The tightness and the stress can cause breakage and even hair loss.</li>
<li>If your hair is braided or has a pony tail, try to use a specially treated band or scrunchie which can help prevent the breakage. Limit your use on clips, bows and untreated bands.</li>
<li>If you plan on growing your hair out more, it is advisable that you trim your hair every 3 months to prevent split ends from breaking the hair.</li>
<li>Brushing your hair is important because it helps spread the hair&#8217;s natural oils. When brushing use long strokes starting from the roots. Stroke your hand over your hair after you are done brushing to get rid of static.</li>
<li>When drying your hair, don&#8217;t rub with a towel. Instead, blot the water out of your hair. Rubbing can cause tangles.</li>
<li>When detangling your hair, work your way up from the tips of your hair and up to the hair roots.<span id="more-277"></span></li>
</ul>
<p><span style="color:#008000;">Valentine&#8217;s Holiday&#8217;s Haircut is just $35. </span><span style="color:#008000;"><span style="color:#993300;">Must mention this promo when making reservations. Offer expires 3/31/09</span></span><br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It&#8217;s about time to close the door on 2008. Hard to believe, isn&#8217;t it? This past year has been wild politically, economically and &#8211; perhaps &#8211; even personally. Chances are that there will be many things out of your control in 2009 too, but there are some promises you can make to yourself. Consider the following pledges.</p>
<div id="attachment_254" class="wp-caption alignright" style="width: 226px"><img class="size-medium wp-image-254" title="women-salon-chicago" src="http://salontrendz.files.wordpress.com/2008/12/women-salon-chicago.jpg?w=216&#038;h=154" alt="A New Year, A New You" width="216" height="154" /><p class="wp-caption-text">2009 A New Year, A New You</p></div>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong>I promise to honestly evaluate my budget by:</strong></p>
<ul type="disc">
<li>Looking      realistically at the numbers and paying off credit card debt.</li>
<li>Taking      advantage of coupons and deals offered by businesses such as Salon Trendz      in Chicago, which provides free bang trims between regular haircuts for      loyal customers.</li>
<li>Cutting      back on unnecessary spending. (Try bringing coffee from home instead of      making the daily pilgrimage to the local cafe.)</li>
<li>Visiting      the vintage clothes boutique to supplement the wardrobe.</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>I promise to expand my horizons by:</strong></p>
<ul type="disc">
<li>Trying      something new such as learning how to swing dance or taking a cooking      class.</li>
<li>Getting      a makeover &#8211; anything from Japanese hair straightening to getting pretty      highlights added to your hair. If you haven&#8217;t ever tried brow threading,      Salon Trendz offers a $15 special for first-timers.</li>
<li>Paying      attention to current events and starting discussions with others.</li>
<li>Reading      at least three books on the best-seller list.</li>
</ul>
<p><strong><span id="more-253"></span>I promise to optimize my physical health by:</strong></p>
<ul type="disc">
<li>Working      to reduce stress by taking a stretch-and-relax class, getting a scalp      massage, engaging in regular prayer, cutting back on extracurricular      activities, or by scheduling counseling sessions if needed.</li>
<li>Eating      more nutritiously &#8211; to fuel the body, rather than to anesthetize problems</li>
<li>Exercising      aerobically three to six days a week. (Take your pet to the dog park, go      to the gym, or walk to work.)</li>
<li>Incorporating      resistance training (weights) into your week to boost metabolism, fight      osteoporosis and improve tone.</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>I promise to take care of my relationships by:</strong></p>
<ul type="disc">
<li>Saying      &#8220;I&#8217;m sorry&#8221; more often.</li>
<li>Renewing      old friendships by writing letters or making impromptu phone calls.</li>
<li>Planning      practical outings with friends to get a manicure, facial or a new haircut.</li>
<li>Extending      forgiveness more readily.</li>
</ul>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong>I promise to make a difference by:</strong></p>
<ul type="disc">
<li>Finding      a place to volunteer such as the humane society or at a fund-raising event</li>
<li>Picking      up trash, taking shorter showers and using cloth grocery bags &#8211; anything      to help the environment.</li>
<li>Cleaning      out the closet and donating clothing to a homeless shelter.</li>
<li>Writing      a letter to a Congressman or an editorial to the newspaper.</li>
</ul>
<p>This is just a starter list of resolutions for 2009. Now it&#8217;s your turn to customize your own set of promises for the new year. Good luck!</p>
<p><span style="color:#008000;"><span style="color:#008000;">Let personnel at  women only Chicago Salon Trendz help you with your New Year&#8217;s resolutions by making an appointment for a free hair analysis or beauty consultation. Renew friendships by making it a group outing. Make it relaxing by opting for a shampoo, deep conditioning, scalp massage and styling.

<p>gifts will soon be vying for our attention. The season will either bowl you over or it will make you merry. With a little preparation and a detailed calendar, you can multiply your good cheer and avert stress &#8211; a sure-fire beauty buster!<a href="http://salontrendz.files.wordpress.com/2008/12/holiday-haircut-and-makeup.jpg"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-329" title="Holiday-Haircut-and-makeup" src="http://salontrendz.files.wordpress.com/2008/12/holiday-haircut-and-makeup.jpg?w=209&#038;h=300" alt="Holiday-Haircut-and-makeup-Salon-Trendz-Palos-Heights-IL" width="209" height="300" /></a></p>
<p>Before you do anything else, make an appointment for a good haircut. Photos are a fact of life, especially during the holidays, so tackle that potential stress factor by getting the best haircut you&#8217;ve had all year. Get some flattering foil highlights or hand painted balayage color put in and take care of your overgrown brows before someone posts a horribly unflattering phone photo on Facebook. Find a good brow threading artist and take care of that stubble lickity-split.</p>
<p>After you get those hair issues under control, pack yourself a small cosmetic kit for emergencies to tuck in your desk drawer at the office, in your hobo tote bag, or even in your car&#8217;s glove compartment. That way, you can do a quick touch up before heading out for a holiday cocktail with friends after work or catching your niece&#8217;s dancing debut in &#8220;The Nutcracker.&#8221; Your friends and family will marvel at your spontaneity and your festive aura.</p>
<p><strong>Here are 12 items to include in a beauty-to-go kit this holiday season: </strong></p>
<ol type="1">
<li>Collapsable brush or wide-toothed comb to      remedy hat hair.</li>
<li>A compact of foundation with a mirror for      touch-ups.</li>
<li>Concealer stick for those unplanned blemishes.<span id="more-217"></span></li>
<li>Blush to revive your color after a day at the      office.</li>
<li>Eyebrow pencil that can be used as liner too.</li>
<li>Small pot of sparkle dust to smooth on      shoulders, legs, eyelids or even through your hair &#8211; to give you that snow-kissed      look.</li>
<li>A miniature vial of your favorite perfume.</li>
<li>A moisturizing lipstick or gloss to keep lips      looking pretty. Think cranberries, cinnamon sticks and candycanes.</li>
<li>Mascara. It&#8217;s a must-have. No debating this      one.</li>
<li>Small tube of hand lotion. It can be used to      remove eye makeup smudges in a pinch or moisturize dry legs.</li>
<li>Travel-size deodorant. No explanation      necessary.</li>
<li> A pair      of festive dangly earrings, a holiday scarf, or a stunning pin to dress up      a blouse or to tuck into a &#8220;messy bun&#8221; knotted at the nap of your neck.</li>
</ol>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The Green Movement is an international phenomenon, stretching from the United Nations to the far corners of the Earth. It&#8217;s a response to warnings about global warming, increased energy costs, diminishing natural resources and growing evidence that our future wellbeing depends on immediate changes in our behavior now.</p>
<div id="attachment_184" class="wp-caption alignright" style="width: 250px"><a href="http://salontrendz.files.wordpress.com/2008/10/putting-on-lipstick4.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-184" title="putting-on-lipstick" src="http://salontrendz.files.wordpress.com/2008/10/putting-on-lipstick4.jpg?w=240&#038;h=218" alt="Hair care and cosmetics " width="240" height="218" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Hair care and cosmetics </p></div>
<p>How to respond to grim predictions can be overwhelming, but taking baby steps can help us overcome our inertia. Start small. Do something &#8211; anything &#8211; and you will have already begun to reduce your carbon footprint.</p>
<p>Wondering where to begin? Chicago&#8217;s <strong>Salon</strong><strong> Trendz</strong> Palos Heights suggests you begin going green in the master bath, where everyone starts their day. Changes in beauty routines can<br />
make a &#8220;world of difference.&#8221;</p>
<p><span id="more-173"></span></p>
<ul type="disc">
<li>Use a      low-flow shower head. You&#8217;ll use half the water with these updated &#8220;green&#8221;      models, especially if you get the <strong>latest      haircut for women</strong> &#8211; one of those sassy bobs that every one is      requesting at the hair salon. Washing short hair is a cinch!</li>
<li>Use      organic soaps, makeup, hair products and other toiletries. A lot of these green      companies give back a percentage of earnings to environment-saving      projects.</li>
<li>Use compact fluorescent bulbs in your bathroom. They      cost a little more initially, but use less energy per year and last longer      than standard bulbs.</li>
<li>Air dry      your hair. Wash it the night before and skip the blow-dryer.</li>
<li>Consider      getting your hair permanently straightened. Not only will you get shiny,      manageable hair, you&#8217;ll reduce your energy consumption. Instead of using      lots of electricity to blow-dry and flat-iron your hair every day, your <strong>Japanese hair straightening</strong> will      help you save money on your utility bills and use less electricity produced      by carbon-emitting power plants. <strong>Japanese hair straightening</strong> is effective for six to 12 months, which also means      you&#8217;ll use less gas driving to the hair salon for beauty upkeep and use      fewer hair products packaged in plastic.</li>
<li>Buy      organic cotton balls, which are not subject to pesticides and bleaches.</li>
<li>Buy      super-size bottles of shampoo and conditioning products to save money and      resources. Recycle the plastic containers when you&#8217;re done.</li>
<li>Turn      off the water while you soap up and brush your teeth. You&#8217;ll save gallons.</li>
<li>Open      the bathroom window instead of using the ventilation fan.</li>
<li>Use bathroom      tissue manufactured from 100% recycled paper goods.</li>
<li>Purchase      replacement tins of blush and foundation to insert in your compact.</li>
<li>Use an      old cleaned mascara wand to brush brows instead of buying a new brow comb      with all its packaging.</li>
<li>Hang      damp towels immediately, so you don&#8217;t have to launder them as often.</li>
<li>Dispose      of your empties responsibly. Ask your local waste-management company how      to safely get rid of nail polish bottles, hair spray cans and hair dye bottles.</li>
<li>And,      of course, do as your mama says. Turn off the lights when you leave the room.</li>
</ul>
<p>Now, that wasn&#8217;t so bad was it? It&#8217;s that simple to go green. One baby step leads to another and before you know it you will be a Mean Green Eco Machine!.</p>
<p>The Green Living Ideas web site listed the following hair care and cosmetics among its favorite organic and eco-friendly brands: Cosmetics Kitchen, Jane Iredale Cosmetics, Larenim, Natural Solutions, Avolon Organics, Dessert Essence, Terressentials and Weleda.</p>
<p>Skin Deep, a safety guide to cosmetics and personal care products sponsored by Environmental Working Group, gave the following cosmetic brands a zero-risk ranking on one or more of their products: Coastal Classic Creations, Cosmic Tree Essentials, Gourmet Body Treats, Honey Bee Gardens, Miessence, Everyday Minerals., <a href="http://www.cosmeticsdatabase.com/brand.php?brand_id=629">Prince Matchabelli</a>, Healing-Scents, Naked, Avon Mark, Kinerase and Z.Bigatti.</p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p><a href="http://salontrendz.com/Feedback.php">Salon Trendz in Palos Heights Chicago offers virtual hair consultation. You&#8217;ll get beauty advice AND save a gallon or two of gas in the process. Simply email a current picture showing your haircut, and include a phone number. A beauty technician will call to discuss options and to answer your questions &#8211; free of charge.</a></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Most little girls go through a phase when they want to grow up to be princesses&#8230;and why shouldn&#8217;t they?</p>
<div id="attachment_210" class="wp-caption alignright" style="width: 250px"><a href="http://salontrendz.files.wordpress.com/2008/10/sleeping-beauty.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-210" title="10 things that can rob you of your beauty rest" src="http://salontrendz.files.wordpress.com/2008/10/sleeping-beauty.jpg?w=240&#038;h=160" alt="10 things that can rob you of your beauty rest" width="240" height="160" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">10 things that can rob you of your beauty rest</p></div>
<p>Jasmine and Ariel are smart and funny. Cinderella and Snow White are problem-solvers and aren&#8217;t afraid of work. Pocahontas and Mulan are always up for adventure. Those are all great attributes, of course, but when you ask a little girl why she loves her favorite princess, nine times out of 10 she&#8217;ll say, &#8220;&#8230;Because she&#8217;s so pretty.&#8221;</p>
<p>Princess Aurora was beautiful too, and her &#8220;power nap&#8221; may have been instrumental in her good looks. Aurora, the one and only Sleeping Beauty, had plenty of time to reap the benefits of enough shut-eye &#8211; <strong>a crucial component of looking your best</strong>.</p>
<p><span id="more-206"></span>According to statistics gathered by the Centers for Disease Control in Atlanta (CDC), adults and teenagers are not getting enough sleep &#8211; or at least a lot less than we did 20 years ago. An estimated 50-70 million people in the U.S. have chronic sleep and wakefulness disorders, says the CDC. Most adults need seven to eight hours of sleep, and school-age kids and teenagers require nine or more. Preschoolers need 10 to 12, and babies should snooze as much as 18 hours or more each day.</p>
<p><strong>While You Sleep</strong></p>
<p>While you sleep, your body is very busy at the cellular level. Cell damage is being repaired, and your brain processes information it has been bombarded with throughout the previous day. Short-term memory is shored up too, so good sleep habits go hand in hand with the ability to learn.</p>
<p>Beauty experts say that you need to get enough sleep if you want to avoid dark under-eye circles, puffy lids, bloodshot eyes and a less-than-healthy-looking complexion. Not only do you compromise your looks with sleep deprivation, you can also damage your immune system, making yourself prone to every virus that comes down the pike. Living as a sleep-deprived woman can contribute to cardiovascular disease, weight issues, diabetes, irritability, and even depression.</p>
<p><strong>Here are 10 things that can rob you of your beauty rest:</strong></p>
<p>1.      Surfing the Internet or watching TV when you should be asleep</p>
<p>2.      Drinking caffeinated beverages or foods (like chocolate) late in the day</p>
<p>3.      Too much excitement, or exercising in the evening instead of earlier</p>
<p>4.      Alcohol and nicotine, which interrupt sleep patterns</p>
<p>5.      Eating a large meal before laying down, or going to bed hungry</p>
<p>6.      Stress, worry and emotional turmoil</p>
<p>7.      Sick children or little ones with poor sleep habits</p>
<p>8.      A job with changing work shifts, causing vacillating sleep schedules</p>
<p>9.      Noise such as barking dogs, sirens and noisy neighbors</p>
<p>10.  Chronic pain and illnesses</p>
<p>The remedy? Start making changes to address these sleep-robbing circumstances. See a sleep specialist if you are really concerned. <strong>Your health and looks depend on it.</strong> In the meantime, you can practice a few makeup tricks.</p>
<p><strong>Talk to a Beauty Expert</strong></p>
<p>Consult with a beautician for helpful application tricks to disguise dark circles and rejuvenate the skin. The beauty experts at Salon Trendz in Palos Heights, Chicago, are in the business of making their customers feel like princesses, so let them help you out. &#8230;Just think of them as your personal fairy godmothers &#8211; only a lot hipper!</p>
<p>Getting a good wash-and-go haircut or a stress-relieving scalp massage can make you feel younger. Giving your eyebrows the proper shape and arch will open up your eyes and help remedy that tired look. Salon Trendz offers both brow sculpting and eyebrow threading, as well as airbrush makeup for special occasions. Even something as simple as adding hair highlights can give you a cosmetic boost.</p>
<p>You might even consider splurging on Japanese hair straightening to cut down on the hair routine in the morning. If you can save yourself from spending 30 minutes in front of the mirror in the morning, that could be another half hour getting your beauty sleep. You&#8217;ll wake up more refreshed and be able to give those princesses a run for their money!</p>

<p>revert to earlier bed times or else risk sleeping through their alarms. College co-eds jostle for mirror time in dorm restrooms, wielding all sorts of menacing items to get them ready in time for class &#8211; sizzling curling irons, mascara wands, hairspray, blow-dryers, and flatirons hot enough to fry an egg.</p>
<p>Soon, the smart girls realize something&#8217;s gotta give. Campus life and hours spent on hair and makeup just don&#8217;t mesh. Morning makeup application will need to be cut down to a five-minute beauty blitz, and they&#8217;ll learn to either wear their hair &#8220;au naturel&#8221; to classes or shove it under a ball cap, emblazoned with the school logo. For the really smart gals, a third option comes to mind: a semi-permanent cure for the unruly mess &#8211; an appointment at a hair salon to get Japanese hair straightening.</p>
<p><span id="more-190"></span>Thermal reconditioning will zap the frizz, lock in shine and give pin-straight hair for about nine months &#8211; the length of the school year. You&#8217;ll be able to pack away the hair-straightening balms and the flatiron. Other than using the recommended after-care products, your hair will be maintenance-free for months, allowing you to concentrate on your studies so you can ace those finals. With mirror time reduced in the mornings, you&#8217;ll be able to catch an extra hour of sleep and still make it on time to the lecture hall. Combine the treatment with the latest in women haircuts and you&#8217;ll be one stylin&#8217; co-ed.<!--more--></p>
<p>Combine Japanese hair straightening with a simple five-minute makeup routine and you&#8217;ll be good to go. Salon Trendz makeup artists in Chicago suggest that you stick to neutral colors and simple techniques to minimize application time.</p>
<p><strong>Salon Trendz&#8217; Five-minute Morning Makeup Blitz</strong></p>
<ol type="1">
<li>Apply      moisturizer with SPF 15 or higher to protect skin from sun damage.</li>
<li>If you      wear foundation, use the sheerest base you have. Apply it with a slightly      damp makeup sponge or clean fingertips. Apply dry foundation and blend it      in with a brush for even coverage.</li>
<li>Apply cheek      color with a big blusher brush, sweeping down from the apples of your      cheeks, where women blush naturally.</li>
<li>Apply a      light layer of eye shadow, smudging a little shimmer at the inner corners      to make sleepy eyes look alert.</li>
<li>Outline      eyes with a soft brown eyeliner pencil, concentrating on the outer      corners. Blend the line with a small applicator sponge to keep it from      looking garish.</li>
<li>Apply      mascara to your top lashes. One coat is sufficient and looks more natural.</li>
<li>Using      a fat brow pencil or a brush with powder, apply color lightly to your brow      bone and blend. <strong>Defining your eyebrows</strong> gives your face more impact.</li>
<li>Use a      translucent lipstick, which allows the natural texture and color of your      lips to shine through. A few quick strokes with a lip brush will even it      out. Natural, translucent lip shades don&#8217;t require as much precision, so they      take less time.</li>
<li>Take a      puff brush and lightly powder your nose and T-zone with loose translucent powder      to set makeup and prevent shine.</li>
<li>Check      the results in natural light, make any adjustments, and head out the door.</li>
</ol>
<p>Adopt these A+ time-saving steps and you&#8217;ll go to the head of the class. You&#8217;ll find you get more sleep, start the day with less stress, and get to school on time. Who says smart young women can&#8217;t be beautiful and punctual, too?</p>

    Makeup Birthday Gift

Why not give her a makeover? She adores those talk shows where audience members get picked randomly to spend some time with a makeup artist and a hair professional. That's the first page she flips to when she picks up a magazine, too. You've heard her say, "I wish that were me" so many times! Why not make her secret wish come true?<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=salontrendz.wordpress.com&amp;blog=3995719&amp;post=162&amp;subd=salontrendz&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Your best friend has a big birthday coming up, so it&#8217;s time to think of a good gift idea. In the past, a book or pretty candle would do, but this year you want it to be something really good &#8211; something really perfect.</p>
<div id="attachment_163" class="wp-caption alignright" style="width: 170px"><a href="http://salontrendz.files.wordpress.com/2008/10/beauty-makep-birthday-gift.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-163" title="Makeup birthday gift" src="http://salontrendz.files.wordpress.com/2008/10/beauty-makep-birthday-gift.jpg?w=160&#038;h=240" alt="Makeup Birthday Gift" width="160" height="240" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Makeover Birthday Gift</p></div>
<p>Why not give her a makeover? She adores those talk shows where audience members get picked randomly to spend some time with a makeup artist and a hair professional. That&#8217;s the first page she flips to when she picks up a magazine, too. You&#8217;ve heard her say, &#8220;I wish that were me&#8221; so many times! Why not make her secret wish come true?</p>
<p>You could get her a gift certificate to get her hair cut&#8230;or to make it really spectacular, go in with a few of your other gal pals and give the birthday girl &#8220;the works.&#8221; Find a spa or salon that knows how to pamper someone and give her the royal treatment. Then head out for a night on the town to help her celebrate.</p>
<p>Salon Trendz in Chicago, for instance, could put together a package for your friend with the following services:<span id="more-162"></span></p>
<ul type="disc">
<li>Deep      conditioning for her hair and maybe a stress-relieving scalp massage</li>
<li>Women&#8217;s      haircut, featuring the latest hair style for 2008</li>
<li>Hair      highlights, partial or full-foil, or balayage (hand-painted highlights)</li>
<li>Eyebrow      threading or eyebrow sculpting, which polishes the appearance</li>
<li>Airbrushed      makeup for that &#8220;<strong>It&#8217;s a new me</strong>&#8221;      look</li>
</ul>
<p>Put any combination of these services together from the professionals at Salon  Trendz Palos  Heights and you will have pulled off a great birthday surprise! Your friend won&#8217;t have to live vicariously through the reality shows or the women&#8217;s magazines or the talk shows. With your help, she will be able to have her own &#8220;before and after&#8221; photos to share.</p>
<p>You don&#8217;t have to wait for a birthday to plan a friend&#8217;s makeover or even one for yourself. A sassy new look can give you your confidence back any time.</p>
<p>If you have been through a breakup with a boyfriend or if you have gotten into a MWC slump (Married with Children), it&#8217;s time to turn over a new leaf. A fresh new haircut or Japanese hair straightening will make you look sensational &#8211; and feel confident again. There&#8217;s no reason to look frumpy, even if you have little ones underfoot. As a matter of fact, a good haircut or thermal hair straightening can give you the freedom to roll out of bed and hit the floor running&#8230;and look awesome while you are at it!</p>
<p>A makeover might be just the thing to help you get back to the dating scene again. A new look&#8230;a new life. It might be a calculated step in your goal to ask for a raise or get a promotion. Looking professional and put together is key in some jobs and can make the difference during a presentation or when trying to make a sale. For whatever reason, you and your new look are sure to turn a few heads.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>&#8220;<strong>It&#8217;s going to take <em>how</em><em> </em>long to get your hair straightened?</strong>&#8221; asks her boyfriend.</p>
<span style="text-align:center; display: block;"><a href="http://salontrendz.wordpress.com/2008/10/13/japanese-hair-straightening-it-takes-time-to-save-time/"><img src="http://img.youtube.com/vi/SWc-pJMV_qg/2.jpg" alt="" /></a></span>
<div id="attachment_157" class="wp-caption alignright" style="width: 170px"><a href="http://salontrendz.files.wordpress.com/2008/10/japanese-hair-straightening-it-takes-time-to-save-time4.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-157" title="japanese-hair-straightening-it-takes-time-to-save-time4" src="http://salontrendz.files.wordpress.com/2008/10/japanese-hair-straightening-it-takes-time-to-save-time4.jpg?w=160&#038;h=240" alt="Japanese hair straightening saves time" width="160" height="240" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Japanese hair straightening saves time</p></div>
<p>To the uninitiated, that&#8217;s a common question when first hearing how long an appointment</p>
<p>takes for Japanese hair straightening. The thermal hair straightening technique <em>does</em> take several hours to go through the process, but in the long run it&#8217;s a great time saver.</p>
<p>Just tell that boyfriend, &#8220;It takes time to save time!&#8221; Then, remind him that&#8217;s a quote attributed to Chicago Bears&#8217; Joe Taylor.</p>
<p>To do Japanese hair straightening correctly, a hair styling team has to go through numerous steps, involving w</p>
<p>ashings and application of a special solution to alter  the hair&#8217;s molecular structure so that waves and kinks relax. Then the hair is rinsed, heated and styled until the maximum straightness is ensured. It takes a couple of hours, but then most women are done for the next nine to 12 months, although those with very curly hair may need a touchup at the roots.</p>
<p><span id="more-155"></span>Sure, the initial procedure involves a chunk of time &#8211; anywhere from two to eight hours, depending on your length of hair and the texture issues you are trying to remedy. &#8230;But, the outcome is spectacular. Just imagine get-up-and-go hair every single morning. You&#8217;ll have that shiny, pin-straight hair all day and won&#8217;t have to deal with mid-day frizz. It is banished for months at a time with thermal conditioning.</p>
<p>Ayn Rand, a writer and philosopher, said, &#8220;I&#8217;m working to improve my methods, and every hour I save is an hour added to my life.&#8221; Although written before Japanese hair straightening was introduced to the western world, her quote sounds as if she might have opted for the hair treatment (if it had been available) as a way to use her time wisely.</p>
<p>If you have unruly hair, you know how long it takes to blow-dry and style your hair everyday. Multiply that by 365 and realize what a huge time commitment it takes. &#8230;And, that doesn&#8217;t even take into account the touch-ups that are needed throughout the day and if you plan to go out in public in the evening.</p>
<p>With Japanese hair straightening, you schedule the three-hour (maybe more) appointment. That is the initial time investment, but within two weeks you will break even and start saving time. Instead of spending 30 minutes or an hour in front of the bathroom mirror every day blow-drying and flat-ironing your hair, you&#8217;ll be doing things that you really want to do. Believe it or not, you&#8217;ll have 15 full days of redeemed time!</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s one more quote from a man who understood what a precious commodity time is. &#8220;Take care in your minutes,&#8221; said Lord Chesterfield, &#8220;and the hours will take care of themselves.&#8221; How true. How true.</p>

<p>Whether you&#8217;re a teen in school, a career woman with a corner office, or an on-the-go mom, your looks can affect how others perceive and react to you. So, why not take a pop quiz and see how you are doing. You may pass with flying colors&#8230;and then again, a little tutoring may be in order.</p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p><span style="color:#800080;"><strong>Do you know your ABCs?</strong></span></p>
<p><span style="color:#800080;"><strong></strong></span><span id="more-123"></span><span style="color:#008000;"><strong>A is for attitude</strong></span><br />
Do your looks portray who you are inside? If you are full of life, why does your hair look so dull? You want to have attitude &#8211; in the most positive sense of the word, of course. Maybe your looks lack pizzazz because of the extra time at the pool this summer. All that sun and chlorine exposure can cause you to look, well, a little dried out. The sun can zap your skin and hair color. Or, maybe you lack &#8220;oomph&#8221; because you&#8217;re still wearing a teen hair style, but you are in your mid-30s!</p>
<p>If it&#8217;s been a while since you visited a hair salon, it&#8217;s probably time to chat with an expert and get out of your rut. There are lots of stylists at hair salons who will give a consultation for free. The beauty experts at Salon Trendz in Palos Heights, Chicago, for example, are more than happy to give a complimentary hair or makeup analysis or to talk about the latest haircut for women with you over the phone or in person.</p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p><span style="color:#008000;"><strong>B is for the basics</strong></span><br />
Have you forgotten the basics? Even if you are wearing the perfect lipstick, a nice outfit, and are having a good hair day, uncontrolled brows can undermine your whole look. It&#8217;s a subtle &#8211; but basic &#8211; component of a &#8220;put-together&#8221; image. If your hand-eye coordination is good, plucking will suffice, but if you aren&#8217;t too steady or need bifocals, some help might be in order.</p>
<p>Eyebrow threading is one fast and easy way to get a perfectly shaped brow that will frame your eyes. Technicians use a thin cotton thread twisted into a double strand, which is swept along the skin. With rhythmic movement, the unwanted hairs are secured in the thread and lifted out. This same technique can be used to tend to other unwanted facial hair, which will zap your look faster than you can say, &#8220;Ugh.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p><span style="color:#008000;"><strong>C is for cut, color and control</strong></span><br />
Have you given in to the temptation to trim your hair in the mirror? &#8220;Stop! Put down the scissors and no one will get hurt!&#8221; A good haircut is essential. It&#8217;s the base of your whole look. Go to a professional!</p>
<p>Bobs of varied lengths and angles are in style. Longer layers are in. Bangs are in &#8211; whether short, heavy on the side, or long and in the eyes. Short, long, mid-length, straight or curly hair &#8211; it&#8217;s all in style, as long as the base haircut is well done, your hair has the movement you want, and the color is flattering.</p>
<p>Almost all hair color and texture needs a touch up after a summer in the sun, where the hue can get oxidized a shade or two. Often a semi-permanent color can give your natural color the translucent boost you need. If you have been wearing an exaggerated blond or reddish color, you might want to adopt a more natural palette, which seems to be the latest hair style for 2008 &#8211; for color anyway, say fashion pundits. Warmer colors give hair a vibrant look and complement most skin tones. If warm colors clash with your complexion, pick a neutral shade so your skin doesn&#8217;t look dull and old.</p>
<p>Hair highlights can refresh your aura, as well. Chicago&#8217;s Salon Trendz offers full coloring service, including foiling and <strong>balayage</strong>, which is hand-painted highlights.<br />
Deep conditioning can restore the texture of your hair after a season of abuse. Once you repair the moisture content, don&#8217;t forget to wear a sun block to protect your tresses from harmful rays &#8211; even in the fall and winter.</p>
<p>Another way to get hair control is with Japanese hair straightening &#8211; a remedy for unwanted frizz or curls. Japanese straightening thermally reconditions hair, transforming unmanageable hair into sleek pin-straight tresses for six to nine months.</p>
