Hair Remedy 911

Summer is notorious for giving your hair a beating. And although August is already upon us, here are some ideas to help keep your hair safe from common summer maladies for the next couple months:  

Swim- The best solution for over chlorinated hair is prevention. I commonly suggest for my guests to wet their hair with a spray leave-in conditioner such as Bonacure Moisture Kick Spray. Hair is absorbent like a sponge and if it is treated and wet before getting into the pool it is less likely to soak up the chlorine. If you have already experienced chlorine damage and/or want to prevent it, you can use Philip Pelusi Clarifying Shampoo Treatment or Alterna Life Solutions Clarifying Shampoo. Both cleansers are color safe, have sunscreen, and will remove chlorine and pH balance the hair without affecting your color.


Sun- Color usually suffers the most from the sun. It is important to protect hair from the sun’s damaging rays by using a product with sun screen. Brilliant Hair from Phillip Pelusi is a “must have” to keep the sun at bay. It’s your hair care vitamin, sun and heat protection all in one. This product is fragrance-free and can be used on wet or dry hair. By keeping your hair moisturized and filled with the nutrients it needs, it will be less likely to absorb unwanted damaging environmental elements.

If the last month of summer is anything like the first two, you'll definitely be spending time poolside for relief from the heat!  Be sure to check out these two great products for the rescue that your hair will certainly need!

Any questions about the product?  Submit them in the comments below & we'll provide answers for you!

Spots, Dots, and Fine Lines, OH MY!

No matter what age, nearly every one of my guest’s most pressing concerns is the best way to protect themselves from premature aging.  

Believe it or not – the answer is easy.  The best way to avoid premature aging is to avoid over exposure of your skin to the sun.  The winter months expose damage from previous summers, what shows up are spots, dots and fine lines.  Add a little dehydration, and a some cold wind; well you have yourself a mess!

 Many women gasp, and think the answer to better looking winter skin is the tanning bed or a trip to Florida.  A little vitamin D from the sun is healthy, but unprotected sun exposure is very damaging.  Fortunately there is simple alternative; the use of a high quality sunscreen—especially during the summer months.  

The Charles Penzone Salons carries the “World’s Best Sunscreen.”  Jan Marini Skin Research, “AntiOxidant Daily Face Protectant SPF 30/Waterproof,” a product that not only slows down the aging process with free radical and antioxidant protection, also provides excellent protection for your skin in other ways too!  This product contains the best stable ingredients for broad spectrum UVA and UVB protection. Antioxidant Daily Face Protectant contains avobenzone. This compound absorbs UVA rays and provides waterproof, sweatproof protection for up to 80 minutes.  It also uses microsponge technology in polymer spheres with huge numbers of interconnecting spaces that can entrap and absorb unwanted materials such as excess oils. They  help to keep  you looking your very best throughout the day.  The product contains Nyad, a potent antioxidant, that locks in the moisture your skin needs, while PhytoMelanin, a plant based substance, enhances UV and antioxidant protection reducing freckles and sun discoloration.  Oderless and weightless, this product feels great and if you wear make-up, it glides on with a mat finish. Topping the FDA’s scale at 400 nanometers;  the official scale for UVA protection measurement, you  would be hard pressed to find a better product and value.  

Faithfully use AntiOxidant Daily Face Protectant SPF 30/Waterproof, and your friends will be wondering how you stay looking so young!

Essential Hair Products to Finish out the Summer with Fantastic Hair

From the humidity to harmful UV rays, hair can take a real beating in the summer. Thankfully, The Charles Penzone Salons have two products that can help protect your hair and keep it looking polished at the same time! Alterna’s Straightening Balm can be used on all hair types to help control frizz in the summer. Its creamy, gel formula makes hair resistant to humidity, giving even the curliest hair a sleek, straight style! For best results, apply to damp hair and comb through to distribute evenly before drying.

To complete your look use Alterna’s Spray Shine, which offers UV protection without weighing down your hair or leaving a greasy residue. Containing orange peel extract and pro-vitamin B5, this product provides lasting moisture to prevent damage and split ends! Spray Shine is also a great addition to everyone’s beach or gym bag. It can be used to refresh hair after a workout or a day in the sun, when you don’t have time to shampoo right away!

Visit any Charles Penzone Salon location (The Grand Salons, MAX The Salon & Q Salon) to pick up the essential hair products you need to finish out the summer!

Summer Must-Haves for Fabulous Hands, Feet & Nails!

The summer sun is in full force, and while the temperature is nice, it can leave skin looking dry and flakey. At The Charles Penzone Salons, we carry two must-have products by Creative Nail Design, to keep your hands, feet and nails looking beautiful all summer long!

Solar Oil

The humidity has hit and the pools are open, but don't think the tropical climate is all you need to hydrate your skin. Just as you need to replenish your body's fluids after a day in the sun, your skin gets thirsty too!

We recommend applying Creative Nail Design's Solar Oil to your nails and cuticles to keep them conditioned throughout the summer! It's enriched with jojoba oil, which allows the mixed sunflower seed oil and vitamin E to absorb into the skin quickly. Creative Nail Design’s Solar Oil is essential for the summer to replenish the moisture in your cuticles and make sure your nails are healthy and beautiful.  


Exfoliate, Hydrate, Repeat with Marine Salt Scrub

Though the season’s hottest sandals help your feet look the part for summer, the real key to summer savvy feet is exfoliation.  Here at The Charles Penzone Salons, we love using Creative Nail Design's Marine Salt Scrub to keep skin looking great! Not only does this scrub contain minerals and sea salt to exfoliate your legs and feet, but it also includes sunflower oil to soften your skin! Creative Nail Design’s Marine Salt Scrub is the perfect way to make your feet look and feel great.

Visit any Charles Penzone Grand Salon location to pick up these fantastic summer must-haves!  Here's to beautiful, healthy skin & nails!
