By 2030, Kérastase will use green science technologies in all its products. To date, more than 60% of their ingredients are already biobased!

Wishing you all the best this holiday season from the whole SASO Team! BY AILESH ABRAMS I firmly believe that facials are a top-tier service. The treatment includes healing and soothing and relaxing – and you leave feeling more beautiful and recharged than ever. Have you been seeing our recent posts and wondering what all the hype about these Salon Society Custom Facials is about? What is a custom facial? What is custom about it? Is a custom facial worth it?
Wonder no longer!! I went and got one so I could spill all the deets in this blog – and let me tell you, a Custom Facial is everything. Let's break it down: What happens during one of these custom facial treatments? BY AILESH ABRAMSOK, so your stylist has converted you using amazing salon-quality products and you can now navigate that drugstore aisle like a pro: “Not today, Head & Shoulders!” “Box dye? No beuno.” …but wait a minute, is that *insert fancy product name* being sold in my local drugstore?!? We get it, it’s confusing. But, as with many things, luxury salon brands available at a drugstore is too good to be true. BUT I'M SEEING IT WITH MY OWN EYES – how? This question has an answer that can be summed up in one word: DIVERGENCE. Before going forwards, let's take a step back to the behind-the-scenes of salon retail. As a salon, when we decide to bring in a new luxury product line, we need to apply for the right to do so – and they can say no! For example, when Salon Society wanted to partner with Kerastase, we needed to communicate with the Kerastase brand reps to be sure that we would be a good fit! These luxury brands want to be sure that the salons that carry their products are able to properly use, educate, sell, and represent the brand as an ambassador. As you can imagine, these types of brands also commit to not selling their products to drugstores/major retailers. Additionally, many of these brands invest time and money into the prevention and interruption of unauthorized sales to avoid unhappy customers or damage to their brand. When you find luxury brands on Amazon or in Walmart, what is actually being sold is a diverted product.
So that’s the nitty-gritty of it – when you find these diverted products you are really rolling the dice on whether or not you are getting what you’re paying for!
And there you have it - five insider tips you learn working at a hair salon! Which one surprised you the most? Comment down below!! Now that you're married (hooray!) It's time to think about whether or not you'll be changing your name. If you've decided to do so, the process can be a bit complicated. Luckily, the steps are detailed below so you can focus on other stuff (like thank you cards....) BEFORE YOU BEGIN, SOMETHING TO CONSIDER...We know it’s super exciting and you want to take on your new name right away but you do have to change over ALL of your identification cards - including your passport! SO, if you are going on a honeymoon right away you may want to hold off until you’re home so you don’t have any stressful mismatching ID cards!! FIRST STEP:GET AN OFFICIAL MARRIAGE CERTIFICATEThe marriage commissioner who performed the marriage ceremony must forward a completed and signed marriage license to the Vital Statistics Registry for registration. The marriage must be registered before you may apply for a marriage certificate. Some commissioners will present you with a marriage certificate at your ceremony, this document is sufficient.
What information do I need to provide when ordering a marriage certificate online?By: Ailesh AbramsI think the Pinterest quotes have it right: “beauty is on the inside”, “being yourself is beautiful”, “confidence is sexy”.
That sounds lame, but I think they are on to something because I believe being comfortable allows us to shine and be beautiful! When we feel uncomfortable - in a situation, in our clothes, in our own skin - we dim ourselves and our beauty. In an uncomfortable situation or when we feel judged it is hard to show our true self and come into our own. When we feel self conscious in our clothes we try to blend into the wallpaper, we change how we hold ourselves, we tug and fidget - but when we feel like a smoke show we show how fire we really are! I think that feeling confident in owning our look, our self, our bodies makes us beautiful. Now let’s talk feeling comfortable in your own skin - your literal skin. Skin is the largest organ on our bodies and I think it comes with the largest range of conflicting ‘right kind of beautiful’ prescriptions. You can’t be too light or too dark. You can’t be too pale or too rosy. You can’t have too much of it. You can’t age. You should be smooth and flawless at all times - if you’re not you should wear makeup. But if you wear makeup you should wear less… And to combat all those conflicting issues we are bombarded with skin care tips and tricks, medications and supplements and crystals, treatments and peels. Now, I’m not going to say I don’t love skin care or that I don’t love getting treatments done (I’m dying for a dermaplaning treatment + jelly mask as I write this) but I do think the shame that is put on us for not being perfect or not being makeup free is ridiculous. So : Do you want microneedling and all the best masks to clear your skin for a makeup free future? Great! I know the sweetest people who can help you get there! Do you want to brush on some powder or 7 layers of curated perfection? ROCK THOSE SKILLS!!! Do what is right for you and what is going to make you feel good; there is no right or wrong way to feel comfortable in your own skin.
