Hitting the Books with a Brand New Look: Back-to-School Hair Makeovers!

With the first day of school right around the corner, we knew that it was time for our 2nd Annual Back-to-School “Hair Makeover!” This year we invited the CW Star, Annie, to The Charles Penzone Grand Salon in Dublin to watch as our four lucky winners received a brand new hairstyle for a brand new year at school.

Read up on our fabulous makeover winners here:

Sixteen year old Kiersha knew exactly what she wanted when walking into The Charles Penzone Salons. Vivica, Director, worked her magic and gave Kiersha a cute new bob and bangs, complete with red highlights!

Kelly, 12, is an avid swimmer found herself battling chlorine damage after being in the pool this summer. Parker, stylist, framed Kelly’s face with subtle highlights and gave her a brand new cut to start off the year – only after providing her with a deep-conditioning treatment to make sure her hair was in tip-top shape!

Eleven year old Emma wanted to look just like her hair professional Danica, Designer, when she started school this year. With new highlights to brighten up her face and a full fringe, Emma and Danica looked like sisters!

Being a junior in high school, Kaycee knew that she wanted to keep her hair curly so she could wake up in the morning and go! Giselle, Designer, used the DevaCurl products to amp up Kaycee’s curls and gave her a bang to finish off her look.

All four girls left the salon ready to hit the books and show off their new looks on the first day of school!

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!

Essential Hair Products to Finish out the Summer with Fantastic Hair

From th

e 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!

Female Focus Summer Makeovers at The Grand Salon in Gahanna/New Albany

On Thursday, July 15th, we welcomed two lovely ladies to The Grand Salon in Gahanna/New Albany for a Summer Sparkler makeover!

Crystal Traini, mother of two and graduate school student, received a modernized new look to help her get our of her "20 year style rut." Meredith, Director, took Crystal's color to a brilliant red and provided her with a modern, slightly asymetrical style. Alyssa's makeup lesson and application provided Crystal with a fantastic palette of complimentary colors and makeup tips relevant for her lifestyle.

With the help of our Charles Penzone Team, Martha Grodesky received a new look to help jump-start her new career as a business owner. Martha, mother of three and former corporate employee, was looking for a new look to get her confidence in her new career. Stella, Designer, shortened the length of Martha's hair and added in highlights to compliment her face. Allie, Master Esthetician, showed Martha how to apply her makeup for every day.

We were pleased to meet these fantastic local women and wish them the best in their next steps - in their careers and in their lives!
