New salon makes a 'glo'-ing impression Seminole Chronicle
Winter Springs has never looked so good.
Done up with a runway, exclusive clothing line and state-of-the art salon, the Glo Hair Lounge is determined to make its mark on the community.
Specializing in high-fashion hair styling, owners Natalie Wright and John Chirillo want to change the way residents experience a hair cut. Serving up hors d'oeuvres of mini cupcakes, cheese, crackers and beverages, clients wait in a relaxing room as runway videos keep the airwaves in motion.
With technologically-advanced equipment, the salon has implemented the latest trends in the industry, said Wright. The infrared drying technology lets the ozone do the color processing, ergonomic shampoo stations and LED lighting that makes the experience feel like more like an episode of The Jetsons than a trip to the salon.
"We spent a year researching salons all across the world and what would separate us would probably be technology because it's the most updated salon I would say definitely in Central Florida if not the state or further than that," Chirillo said.

What's the difference between boxed hair color/salon?
I use the boxed hair color from loreal. Is salon better the than the box? I'm trying to say money.
From personal experience, I would go to the salon for color. I have blonde hair and have tried it before and mine DID NOT turn out good!! LOL Going to the salon you'll know what you're getting.
(I noticed the other people who answered say the salon treatments last longer which I didn't know. But you know what - after thinking about it I have to color again when the roots start to show anyway so I'm thinking what difference would that make?
what is the difference between store bought hair color and salon color?
somebody has told me that hair color from walmart or other stores have mettalic dye in it, or something like that. I dont see what the difference is between store bought and salon color, does anybody know? I just ordered three bottles of loreal excellence blonde hair color.
Over the counter hair color usually contains amonia and very low levels of developer. When you go to a professional salon, we use non-amonia hair color, and we can chose what level developer is necessary for the process. With over the counter color, you dont have a choice. That is why most hair colors dont turn out the way you expect them to.
store bought is much cheaper to go with.
To lighten your hair or add highlights that are a good bit lighter than your hair, the cosmetologist sometimes has to bleach ALL of the color out of your hair, and then they go back and darken it to the color it needs to be. This keeps your hair from having that brassy or red-orange look to it.
Also, if you are going darker, I recommend using a color that does not contain peroxide or ammonia (a "wash"). You will have to put it on more often, but it costs less, and it also keeps you from getting that orange look.
Metallic salt dyes of old almost always contained a lead compound, but modern dyes contain a variety of other metals depending on the shade of color.When the metallic salt compound is applied to the hair the metal salts undergo a chemical reaction to deposit a colored film on the hair fiber surface. In general these dyes do not penetrate inside the hair fiber, they just coat the surface.
Therefore, its like a stronger version of temperary color.
Salon Permanent Color remains in the hair shaft until new growth of hair occurs. It's used to match, lighten, and cover gray hair. Permanent hair color generally contains ammonia, oxidative tints, and peroxide.
Henna is a deposit-only hair color whose active component, lawsone, binds to keratin and is therefore permanent. Henna may be removed with mineral oil; however, it is considered "permanent" because it does not wash out with shampoos or rinses.
If you want to know any more just let me know. : )`
can you color your hair the next day with a walmart color after having a salon color it?
I went to a salon to have my hair colored and highlighted. The lady mistakenlly bleached my hair instead of coloring it. When she realized she had done that she put color on it. Anyways, I hate the color, its alot darker than I thought it would be.
I hope she comp'd the visit ... and yes, you CAN recolor it the next day, though it's not healthy for your hair, considering you've already bleached & colored, but ... it beats going around w/ hair color you hate.
but its your choice
I want to cover gray but I'm chemically allergic. Do you know chaper ways to color at salon?
I have dark hair. I do highlight and lowlight my hair at hair salon so that the chemical doesn't touch my skull, but it is very expensive to do so. It costs me about $140. I do this every 3 months. But after 3 months, usually my gray is visible and highlight and lowlight fade. Are there better ways to cover my gray without hurting my skin and chaper? I don't want to color my hair at home.
do not use HENNA as was suggested! it is not to be used on grey hair ever! also it is metalic and you would be allergic to it as you are other chemicals
how do I color my hair with salon hair coloring products?
I was wondering how exactly to color my hair with the salon products? I have the activator and the color. L'Oreal color gems color conditioner and activator to be exact. I've done it on other people but I can't figure out how to do it myself. Any hair dressers out there able to give me step by step instructions would be great!
section hair four sections cover neck area use vaseline around face...using a color brush start at the nape...use 1/4 sections...put color on roots...depending on product you will later pull through head...

What is a good color protecting salon-quality shampoo & conditioner?
I have naturally dirty blond hair but will be dying my hair a medium reddish-brown next week (at a salon). I have had problems in the past with darker hair colors fading quickly. What is a good salon-quality shampoo & conditioner that will prevent this? Please only suggest products that you have used, and had success with.
Thanks!
REDKEN, and when changing hair color esp if our hair is long you gotta ave REDKEN Anti-Snap as well as the clor specifics, If you are not a fan of that then try ALterna (Hard to find in some areas but MY GOD is it worth the search. It is made of natural hemp oils... It makes yur hair very happy, unless you have naturally oily hair! My thrid choice is Biolage.
Shy away from Paul Mitchell...I know alot of people swear buy it, but a lot of them myself included find it drying.
I am a Cosmetology School Grad... Left the biz for greener pastures but am still an addict of product :)
I also used the John Freda Brilliant Brunette stuff for a couple of months and hated it. It made my hair greasy and limp. And the "shine enhancer" or whatever it is called just weighed my hair down and didn't do anything to make it shine.
i couldint beleieve it , after spendidng hundreds of pound experimenting with hair gloss, shampoo after shampoo, conditionner, after conditioner i found miracle in a bottle.
believe me using it you wont be able to do without. the smell is gorgeous. its about £9 for shampoo and for the conditioner.
pls try it ,its worth it
How long does salon hair color stay in?
If I get permanent hair color put in by a salon, how long does it typically last (if I take care of it with color formulated hair care products)? Although it should be permanent (or until the roots grow completely out), I wanted to check because I use a store bought kit that is permanent, but because it is auburn (red shades fade quicker than any other), it typically lasts less than 2 months. At the salon it will be colored auburn also. Thank you for any help.
it's really important to get a filler put on especially for the ends..is your hairdresser putting a filler in before the color? ..sally's beauty supply carries fillers..i'd buy the clear and see if you can keep the color alittle longer....they are carrying the reds, browns and gold but the clear should help
Like my mothers lasts for five months and mine lasts for one.
But box dye that you buy at Sallys, Walmart or anywhere is just as good as the salons. Stays in the same amount of time.
Good luck!
what is the best product to use to keep my color in between salon visits?
I (like everyone else right now) am trying to make visits to the salon less frequently to save some money. I have naturally brown hair that I color to a really rich dark brown with a touch of red. Is there something that anyone recommends that I use to help extend the color in between visits to my stylists? Like a color booster or something? Thanks!
My hair is pretty much exactly what you just described lol. There's this new line of products from L'Oreal called EverPure Color Care system (I got it at Target). It's "sulfate free." I've heard the harsh salts and sulfates in shampoos and conditioners are what makes color fade the most. I started using it and I really like it. My hair is shinier and just generally healthier. And the color is lasting longer than it did before. Obviously your color is always going to fade, but using this stuff has helped slow the fading in my hair. It comes in volumizing, smoothing, moisturizing. Also, washing your hair less helps the color last longer. Like on days when I know I'm not going anywhere I don't wash mine (it can get pretty greasy but as long as I'm not leaving the house!). Check out the website below for beauty products, reviews, and tips. Good luck!
If there is a difference between home & salon hair color solutions, what is the difference specifically?
And should I start using home hair color kits after my hair being professionally done for 10 years or so. I need to save money big time but I still have to look professional for work.
If I can use home colour which brand?
Would it be a good idea to buy salon colour at a supply store and use that at home?
I guess it all depends on how your hair has been colored. If you've got highlights, or you are maintaining an unnatural shade of blonde (for you, anyway), your best bet is to stick with your stylist, and maybe see her less often, or ask her to refer you to someone who might charge less. (Hehe, yeah right. I'm sure if you had the nerve to ask her for a referral to a less expensive salon, that would MAKE HER DAY! LOL)
If you're just getting a regular dye or something, you might be able to take that up at home, or have a friend/relative help you maintain your color at home.
The difference between home and salon hair color solutions is the fact that home kits are a lot more risky due to operator error, and inconsistencies and dye lots among the products themselves. I mean, who is to say how long that kit has been sitting on the shelf when you purchased it? What if it sat so long that ti's not true to the color the box is advertising? There is also a HUGE margin for error. Mistakes can happen when you dye your hair at home, and you might not be pleased with the final outcome.
I have a friend who wanted to add some color to her own naturally beautiful auburn colored hair. She got herself a burgandy hair dying kit at the drugstore, and the next time I saw her, she was VERY upset about the outcome of her home hair dying attempt. Apparently she left the dye in too long, or screwed up on mixing the developer or something, because her hair was NOT burgandy. It was more like Ronald McDonald red, now that I think of it... Anyway, there are lots of things to take into consideration when you are thinking about dying your hair at home, like, which brand are you going to use, and stick with no matter what? I imagine that you must have some sort of consistent physical appearance to maintain, otherwise you wouldn't be asking about this. Clearly your appearance is important in your line of work. Do you believe it's wise to take chances with your professinal appearance? That's something else to think about. Then you've got to figure out what level (permanent, semi-permanent) of product you want to use. How long does the box say it will last. (After a few times of doing it yourself, you may discover that it doesn't last as long as the manufacturer claims...)
Which brings me to getting your hair colored in the salon. Most stylists don't use over-the-counter hair dying kits. They mix the developer and dye solution on the spot for the customer. Some salons even do custom colors, or will do their best to match your natural hair color and its individual nuances as closely as they can. I've found that salon color jobs last a lot longer, they're less stressful, and are far more consistent in terms of final results as opposed to the home kits. I'm just being honest here, I'm not a licensed stylist or anything... That's just my own personal observation. I think the duration of the dye has something to do with the quality and strength of the chemicals they use in the salons versus what they're allowed to sell on the shelves at the drugstore. Also, she can see what she's doing to your hair, as it's being colored. That's pretty important, when you think about dye staining your skin around your hair and neckline. What if you can't get that off before you have to be at work? What will you do then?
if you know a thing or two about chemistry and mixing hair dye without causing an explosion, by all means, buy the stuff at the beauty supply house, and get ta coloring your locks! I don't know if you're aware of this, but every licensed stylist must complete a pretty comprehensive chemistry requesite prior to getting licensed and hired and stuff. Mixing chemicals is no joke. A home kit can blow up on you if you're not careful and don't read the instructions thoroughly.
*sigh* I guess you will do whatever is most convenient and easy for you. I can't tell you what to do. All I can do is offer some different points of view and hope you think about them before you make your final decision.
I do have one last suggestion for you regarding this matter thoug, and it might turn out to be a good one, or it could end up being a total nightmare. If there is a beauty college somewhere in or near your community, maybe you could see your regular stylist every two months or whatever, and if you needed something done between visits with her, you could go and have that taken care of at the beauty college. You wouldn't believe how much money you could save if you helped the students at the beauty college get some on the job training, here and there! Sheesh, you might even be able to get your hair done, and a full set--all for less than what your personal stylist would have charged you just for the dye!
It's something to think about. I hope you get it all figured out. Be well, and take care. =)
Want to bring my hair back to its lighter color. What will salon do?
I have been dying my hair a medium/dark golden brown for about 6 months now. I want to go back to my natural color, however, which is a light ashy brown with golden blonde highlights. If I went into the salon would they be able to bring me back to this in one visit? What will they do exactly?

As we start this crazy month of April, I’d like to suggest adding a “milk_shake repairing hair treatment” to your scheduled service. That’s a great idea heading into the hot summer months ahead. Also, until April 13, we are offering 20% off milk_shake’s leave-in conditioner. This product is great for strength, tangles, and styling. It also offers protection against the sun and is great to spray in before you jump into the pool!
This past weekend, Salon True had some major events that we were happy and proud to be a part of. On Saturday, April 2, the Salon True Team offered its time and talents to the Junior League of Philadelphia. We were asked to volunteer our services and do the hair for their Green Carpet Event. This fashion show was put together by the new members of the Junior League and took place at The Piazza at Schmidt’s in Northern Liberties. Sarah, Kristen and I did hair for twelve ladies in a small tent in the freezing cold, and rocked it! All of the models were so nice and sweet, which made participating more special. I’m happy to say that all of the hair held in place and the show went on without a hitch. Oh, and the ladies looked fabulous as well. J
On Sunday, April 3, we came into the salon to host our “ParentTalk” with volunteers from A Chance To Heal (ACTH). Our response was wonderful. About fifteen mothers, fathers, and youth leaders came to hear how to develop healthy body image in our young children. We will try to host another event in the summer and fall. I feel there is such a need to bring awareness and help parents understand how your child could develop poor body image and an eating disorder. Wonderful, painful stories were shared by some while others just listened. It is worth coming just to hear what to avoid and how to be a good role model for today’s youth.
Busy, busy week ahead! I am energized and excited at the difference Salon True is making by being a part of the community. Thanks to all of you who support us in our efforts!
