Choosing the right wedding hairstyle for your beach wedding is very important. It can be time consuming and very frustrating.
Beach wedding hairstyles should be relaxed, cool, sexy and modern!
There are plenty of styles to choose from regardless of your hair length. A bride-to-be can opt for an elegant look, a wavy beach style or even braids and buns. Keep in mind that beaches get windy, so be mindful to choose a hairstyle that doesn't require touching up!
A consultation with our experienced stylist is crucial to finding the right hairstyle to accompany your head piece ( tiara, veil etc.). This makes it easier to compliment your gown and of course your face shape.
Every bride wants to look her best and we will make sure your vision will be achieved!

Myths about UV lamps used for Nail Services
It has been brought to my attention quite a few times over the past three years, since gel polish has quickly become the newest and coolest nail trend, the big safety question concerning the UV rays emitted from the lamp that cures the gel or gel polish.
As a professional, it is my duty to do the research and educate myself to keep myself as well as my clients safe. Here are my findings:
To verify the facts, they tested the leading UV nail lamps to determine how much UV-A and UV-B they emit and then compared that to natural sunlight. They concluded that the dermatologists' report, "Occurrence of Non-melanoma Skin Cancers on the Hands After UV Nail Light Exposure," overestimated the exposure of the client skin to UV light emitted from UV nail lamps and improperly characterized the effect of these lamps on the hand. In fact, they noted, clients' hands are likely to be exposed to more UV light while driving their cars, than they will receive from UV gel nail services.
I have attached the article as to where I obtained my research, that I felt spoke in lay men's terms. The most important thing is to keep up on the safety of current trends, and here at Sassy, we pride ourselves on staying current, constantly educating ourselves as well as our clients, while maintaining professional and happy atmosphere for everyone to enjoy.

When a client asks me "What's new in hair"? This is a clear indication they want a change!
Change can be subtle or dramatic. What's new is not nearly as important as "will what's new look good on me"?
A small change, such as adding a side swept fringe to long hair can be huge to a client. The same can be said for adding brighter color around the face. This can perk up any shade of brunette.
Being aware of facial shapes and body type is so much more important than "what's in" when styling a clients hair.
Be aware of "what's in", but being aware of the client as an individual is just as important!

Keratin Hair Treatments
Keratin Hair Treatments are the newest trends in defrizzing and smoothing hair.
Any hair type can have a keratin treatment if your are looking for your hair to be smoother, silkier, straighter, shinier, easier and faster to blow dry! Your hair can be close to maintenance free!
There has been lots of buzz about the safety of these treatments. Recently, chemists have effectively cut down the odor and the keratin products we use have under the OSHA regulation of formaldehyde. (without a small amount of formaldehyde no smoothing is achieved).
Keratin works best of those of us with coarse, frizzy and unmanageable hair. Our blow dry time is cut in half and we use little or no flat ironing. We consider these treatments a "miracle"!
At Sassy we have 2 choices of Keratin treatments. Keratin Express is our "semi-permanent" treatment. This takes about an hour for the service and lasts about 6 six weeks. The hair can be shampooed after 24 hours. Pricing starts at $75.00.
Keratin wears off the hair gradually and can be done again safely after 4-6 weeks. Keratin Express offers the same great results as our more "permanent" Coppola Keratin treatment at a fraction of the cost.
Our Coppola Keratin Treatment is a treatment that lasts 3-4 months! This treatment takes about 2-3 hours for the salon service. You cannot shampoo for 72 hours. Pricing starts $250.00.

Either of our Keratin Treatments can be done on color-treated or chemically treated hair. Both of these treatments require sulfate-free shampoos. We will recommend the correct products for longevity of your smoothing treatment.
For those of us who have these Keratin treatments , we tend to think of them a "life-changing", especially living in Florida!
