How To Get The Perfect Haircut For You

We've all been there, deciding that we want a new look, anticipating the change and then finally making the appointment at the salon, only to walk out sorely disappointed.  Some whimper and wail in the salon, while others politely say it's fine, pay the bill and then cry in the car all the way home! It's not surprising that this is quite traumatizing for most of us after all, our hair can define us, tell people who we are.  It's our greatest fashion accessory, and when it doesn't look, feel or perform right, it greatly affects our self esteem.


So how do you avoid the tragedy of a bad haircut?  Communication.  Seems simple, but I've been standing behind the chair for over 20 years and you'd be surprised how few clients take responsibility with their own hair!  If you want a change and have trouble describing it, as the old saying goes, a picture is worth a thousands words.  Pictures, Pictures, Pictures.  They help me out so much when trying to please my clients.  I've had people actually say to me, I didn't want to insult you by bringing a picture.  Guess what?  Not insulted in the least!  The picture helps me not only see what my client is trying to describe but to decide if the style needs to be modified for the client, i.e.,  lifestyle, hair type, neckline, face shape, etc.  Then I can discuss with my client how this will work for them, or not in some cases.  And then ultimately they get a great new style and leave feeling great!

Don't be timid when talking to your stylist, this is your hair, remember?  You have to wear it everyday! And if your not happy, who do you think about putting a hex on every time you look in the mirror?  Your stylist!  No stylist wants their clients to feel that way.  It's our business to make you happy!  We want you to love your hair, because then you love us!

Hair Extensions














I love doing hair extensions! They can add length, volume or both and look amazing on almost every texture of hair. Although not new to the beauty industry and Hollywood starlets, new techniques and types of extensions have made them more available and affordable. As a result, more and more salons are offering hair extension services. But a small word of caution, make sure that the salon you choose has experience and uses the best quality products. When it comes to hair extensions, don't go cheap, because you'll look cheap.

Were I work at Java Hair Salon in South Daytona, Florida, I use strand on strand keratin bond extensions. They are 100% remy human hair, remy being the finest quality human hair available. The color is custom blended to match and the strand are attached individually. The keratin bond is easily and gently applied without compromising the integrity of the hair and because it is human hair, it can be colored, permed, flat ironed, or curled.

Hair extensions can enhance any hair style. I've had several clients that have come in after visiting other salons and getting an unfortunate haircut. I've placed extensions only where they've need filling in or lengthening. It sure beats waiting for it to grow out!

Bottom line, extensions are fabulous! I highly recommend them. I wore them myself for awhile, waiting for my own hair to grow out, I loved them!!

If your in the area of South Daytona, FL and are in need of a new look, please stop and visit me at Java Hair Salon. Ask for me, my name is Patreece and I'd love to see you.
