How often should I get my hair colored?
To ensure even overall color hair regrowth should not exceed 1-1.5
inches in length. The heat from your scalp works as a catalyst to help
process your color. If the new growth is to long the heat is not
distributed evenly through the head thus resulting in possible" hot
roots" or "gold bands". To be sure of your own personal needs ask your
colorist what he/she recommends.
What is Dimensional Highlighting?
Dimensional highlighting,( also known as marbleizing,
glazing,lowlighting,etc. ) is when a colorist uses more than one level
and tone in the highlighting process. this creates a more natural
flowing movement in the hair enabling the colorist to better utilize
the cut and layering in the hair. It creates some of the more modern
styles seen in the magazines today. Your colorist might also use
dimensional highlighting to achieve bolder, more contrasting tones to
the hair.
Can I catch a bacterial infection from the manicure
and pedicure procedures?
We have all seen the nasty press about bacterial infections caused by
improper sanitization of pedicure and manicure tools. We at Head to

with their own personal files, toe separators, and orangewood sticks.
Our pedicure and manicure basins are cleaned between each client with
a hospital grade disinfectant which kills all forms of bacteria
including HIV and Hepatitis. Our implements are also immersed in the
same hospital grade disinfectant to ensure your safety.

What is the difference between a table massage and a
chair massage?
The same basic techniques are used in both massages. The true
difference is only the location of where they are performed. One is on
the massage table the other is on a specially designed massage chair.
It's really your choice. Sometimes a chair massage is a great way to
introduce yourself to the benefits of bodywork.
Does a Bikini wax hurt?
Hurt is a relative term, it does smart a bit but once you know what to
expect its not as bad as you might think. The benefits of waxing far
outweigh any pain you may have. When you wax it can take as long as 3
weeks for the hair to return. Not like shaving which starts to grow
back immediately. also the hair does not itch as it grows in like it
does with shaving. Ideal length is no longer than half an inch. Any
swelling or redness that follows should subside within several hours.
To prevent ingrown hairs you should regularly exfoliate the area.
