Armada Style Hair Conditioning, from the deep sea. Treating hair from within using Negative & Positive Ions

July 9th, 2011
Armada Style Conditioning at Beauty on Robertson, Beverly Hills

Armada Style Conditioning at Beauty on Robertson, Beverly Hills

Hi, it’s Denise Genova, just wanted to tell you about a fab new product!


I’m having such amazing results with Armada Style at Beauty on Robertson….the most stressed hair is being transformed!

Bleach and Hi-Lift color clients are automatically getting this treatment in my chair, as well as those with parched hair that needs moisture and to be brought back the right pH level of 4.5 to 5.5 for healthy skin and hair.

pH levels

pH levels

Your hair needs to rest at 4.5 to 5.5 pH to retain moisture, shine, and be at its utmost health.

Armada Style will restore your hair to that level, and we also offer  Armada at Home Treatment Care, as well as Sojourn shampoos and conditioners to keep that pH level of 4.5 to 5.5 maintained at home.

ARMADA STYLE….

The below info is from Aramada Style’s website.

Call us to schedule your appointment 310.360.0006 or email info@beautyonrobertson with any questions.

The two main ingredients for M-3.2 are deep sea minerals with an anionic content and wild plant minerals (which are both all natura)l. Containing nothing harmful, you can use it on both the hair and skin. Hair will become shiny, and skin will feel supple.

Why is this product so good?

The key to this product’s excellence is in its permeation levels.

You must look at it and think, can this water make that much of a difference?

And the answer is YES.

Not just any kind of water though. For example, tap and mineral water can’t make improve the state of your hair. But M-3.2 can.

WHY?

Because it carries with it electrons.

When M-3.2 is sprayed on the hair, the electron balance that existed between the insides and the outsides of the hair is lost, and the electrons move from areas of high concentration (outside) to low concentration (inside) to regain the balance. The electrons when moving inside the hair carries with it moisture and minerals of the M-3.2. This is why each strand becomes fuller, and as a result, healthier, shinier, and bouncier. The minerals also make a protective layer on the outside of the hair to prevent oxidation.

Armada Style Conditioning at Beauty on Robertson, Beverly Hills

The P-3.2 strengthens the hair post-treatment.
It is made up of deep-sea minerals with cationic content.
Unless started otherwise, it is used diluted 50/50.

P-3.2 helps to fully oxidize the solutions on the hair and it helps to seal the effect taken by each treatment.

P-3.2 brings hair back to its isoelectric point, (a level of electrical balance in the hair where keratin is not oxidated) making it less prone to damage after you leave the salon- resulting in shiny and smooth hair for much longer than before.

P-4.1
This is a ready-to-use version of P-3.2.

For clients, as home care:

P-4.1 makes each hair smoother and bouncier, terms kinks and prevents it from becoming frizzy. We recommend P4.1 to those who have trouble with disobedient hair, or those with too much volume.

We recommend joint use with the M-3.2 (M should be used first.)

What is the e-CURE treatment?

The Armada e-CURE treatment is an intensive conditioning treatment that channels moisture into hair, making it HEALTHY from the inside.

It doesn’t coat the hair. Instead, it recharges the moisture levels of the proteins inside the hair, leaving each strand thicker, stronger, and healthier.

Moisture is the key to maintaining anything that is made of cells, and the hair, like the skin, is no different.
Why e-CURE treatment?

Armada Style Conditioning at Beauty on Robertson, Beverly Hills

Armada Style Conditioning at Beauty on Robertson, Beverly Hills

Armada-style S-series were developed in order to answer our clients overwhelming demand for us to produce a shampoo that would work perfectly with the M3.2.

S-1 Orange
S-2 Grapefuruit
S-3 SAKURA
S-0 Unperfumed

The major factors of S-series:
• Non-silicon
• Contains only the finest ingredients
• Hydrating
• Gentle on your scalp, skin and hair

This particular series was created with the emphasis on only picking out the ingredients that are known to be good for the hair. It does not contain silicone or any other ingredient that coats the hair, and has wonderful moisturizing qualities, thanks to the fruit extracts that were added for increased suppleness ,so that there is no need to follow up with a conditioner.*

* Those with severely damaged hair may want to use a conditioner.

Do you still think all shampoos are the same?

Moisture is the key to maintaining anything that is made of cells, and the hair, like the skin, is no different.

Why e-CURE treatment?

Your hair is made up mostly of proteins. A damaged state is when the moisture inside the proteins are lost, leaving your hair feeling dry and brittle. The conditioning treatments that are available in most drug store and other places have an oil or silicone coating to make the hair feel smoother and look shinier.

BUT—–the luster and feel are lost in a few days after repeated shampooing and regular brushing.

The Armada e-CURE treatment doesn’t cover up. It actually feeds hair, providing it with healthy minerals that enhance its beauty and health.

Cinderella Strip Lash Application, Step by Step

June 5th, 2011
Strip Lash Application, Step by Step - Beauty on Robertson

Strip Lash Application, Step by Step - Beauty on Robertson

glam·our/ˈglamər/Noun

1. An air of compelling charm, romance, and excitement, especially when delusively alluring.

2. Archaic A magic spell; enchantment.

It’s nice to see that fashion has trended back towards “Glamour” again.

This season, red lips, glamour girl hair styles, and Cinderella lashes are in!

A great way to add that glamourous touch to your makeup is to add strip lashes.

Our resident esthetician, Bella,  provides a step by step on how to apply strip lashes, and conceal the strips with liner and mascara!

Before Strip Lash Application, by Bella at Beauty on Robertson, Beverly Hills

Before Strip Lash Application, by Bella at Beauty on Robertson, Beverly Hills

Here is a shot of Bella before she applies the strip lash over her natural lashes.

*TIP:  Apply your eye shadow now, before applying lashes. That way, you don’t have shadow to clean up under your eyes after applying the strip lash.

How to Apply Strip Lashes, Beauty on Robertson, Beverly HIlls

How to Apply Strip Lashes, Beauty on Robertson, Beverly HIlls

Apply a very thin line of lash adhesive to the lash strip.

*TIP: Go slow, only apply enough adhesive to cover the base of the lash strip to avoid lash adhesive being visible on your eye lids.

Bella applies the strip lash, and then anchors and adjusts the strip with a set of tweezers. You need to work quickly as the adhesive dries rapidly. Do both lashes.

Step by Step Lash Strip Application, Beauty on Robertson, Beverly HIlls

Mold your natural lashes to the lash strip by applying mascara. This creates a more natural look. A light coat or two should suffice.

*TIP: be light-handed when applying mascara so as to not pull off, or move the lash strip.

Glamour Lashes, Step by Step, by Bella at Beauty on Robertson, Beverly Hills

The last step is to apply eyeliner to help conceal the lash strip.

Bella uses a soft eyeliner to blend into the strip lash band on the eyelid.

*TIP: Apply directly onto the lash band. Don’t go to thick, a thinner line works best.

Taped in seamless hair extensions are an excellent option for those with very fine, thin hair,  as well as over processed and  compromised hair.

Applying taped in seamless hair extensions takes anywhere between 1 and 3 hours depending on the desired end result.

The hair extensions are seamless and cannot be easily felt over the head, or noticed by others.

Taped in Seamless Hair Extensions are quickly becoming the new preferred method of hair extensions due to the natural feel and no, to very low, risk of hair being damaged as a result of wear.

LASH EXTENSION WEARERS CAN TAKE ADVANTAGE OF LASHDIP TOO!

We now offer a “Lash Cocktail”, consisting of lash extensions and LashDip.

Now you can have perfect lower lashes that stand out along with your top lash extensions, and no more mascara!

Application of LashDip takes 45 min to 1.5 hours depending on your lash type.

*LashDip can be layered at the initial application appointment for a dramatic lash look which may add to the appointment duration and cost.

The product will last anywhere from 4 to 6 weeks with proper maintenance.

Your lash growth and shedding cycle determines the length and wear of LashDip along with proper  at home, and in salon maintenance.

LashRefresh appointments should be scheduled 2 to 3 weeks after the initial application to keep lashes fresh.

LashSeal should be used 2 to 3 times a week as maintenance.

Use only oil free eye make-up remover.

Oil free eye liners, and mascara will ensure the lasting results of LashDip (we carry products at the salon for purchase that are safe with your lash services).

Removal takes minutes, and is safe and gentle to your lashes.

In fact, we found that when we removed the LashDip on ourselves, our lashes were thicker, longer and fuller. The product acts a conditioning type barrier for your natural lashes.

Another added benefit was that our natural lashes retained the lush black color as we got an added benefit of lash tint from the product!
