Featured Business: Kevin Charles Salon

One of the hardest things for me to deal with is my confidence.  I don't feel comfortable in my outward appearance.  I don't have my style.  And when I find something I like as far as my hair goes, even if I've brought in a picture and said "THIS IS WHAT I WANT" I've been convinced against it and I end up hating how I look until for the next month until I can have it fixed.


That was not the case at Kevin Charles Salon.


I've been to several salons over the last few years, ever since my dad got sick and I donated my hair.  This was probably the best experience I've had in a long time.


Of course the first thing that Kevin and Carly asked me was what I wanted - and I told them: less layers, darker to match my natural color and a touch of red.  Then they asked what my wardrobe consisted of (mostly dark and neutral colors, a few bright pieces), what my morning routine is, how I usually wear my hair, what I do for a living, they people that I meet.  


Hey, I've got a fun job, but I still need to look professional.  He asked me to trust them - and I did.


The process was about 2 1/2 hours, start to finish, but the time went fast.  Because there were other stylists with clients, we were all in conversation with one-another; fun and casual.  We all need girl talk from time to time, right?


I was also impressed by the wide variety of stylists and clients.  Whether it's a dramatic change or a quick trim, the people at Kevin Charles Salon will be able to help you out.  


The cut is what I need (and it's long enough for me to put up).  And the color is AMAZING!  It's exactly what I've been wanting for a couple of years, but had previously been told I couldn't pull it off.  


Thank you Kevin Charles Sylvania for giving me an wonderful experience, 
and a look that I can finally call my own!

Amiche Capelli Salon Of Style

I first met Jen at the NETT Event at the Oliver House.  I was out of my element, still new to the networking scene.  Jen found me, and we became instant friends.  At our first meeting, to talk business, we found we had several mutual friends - small world here in Toledo, Oh. 



Until a few years ago, I'd never had a 'hair stylist'.  I'd never had need for one.  If I needed a trim, I'd go to one of those quick in&out hair places.  When my dad got sick a few years ago, I made the decision to donate my hair - 18 inches of it!  I hadn't done much with it after that.  18 months later when the cancer came back, I donated it again.  And surprisingly again, another 18 inches.  

A long haired girl for most of my life, I did not know how to style my hair, how to properly dry my hair - complete novice in the ways of hair styling.  Jen has taught me A LOT! 



  
Did you know, that when you are conditioning your hair, you should wring it out until you can't get any more drops of water from it before you condition?  Your hair is a sponge and can't get the nutrients it needs from the conditioner if it's saturated with water.  


 Also, did you know that the natural oils in your hair are important for healthy hair. You only need to shampoo every-other day. When you're not washing, rinse it. 


When you are at the salon or spa, is your stylist talking with you before your cut, to make sure what you are saying you want is actually what you want, and going to work for you?  Most women can recall a bad haircut experience:  I went in for a trim and ended up loosing 4 inches because it wasn't straight.
