“Seeing is Believing”

July’s Stylist of the Month

Brenda Lyons, owner and operator of EcoChic Hair Boutique in Arizona, has been experiencing a Shear Miracles Organic Revolution! Eight months ago, longtime friend and customer, Jane Henderson, took a trip from Pennsylvania out to Arizona to visit Brenda. Brenda had remembered Jane’s naturally course, dull, and dry hair and was totally amazed when she saw her with hair that was now full of shine and manageability. What had she changed? She had discovered Shear Miracles. “Her hair looked fabulous!”  Brenda had to try Shear Miracles products for herself and now she uses nothing else in her salon for hair care.

When asked about the response of her clientele to Shear Miracles products, Brenda responded, “They love them!! Of course they love the smell of all the products, but mostly, they love how their hair feels, the way it shines, and the fact of knowing that they are taking a step toward a healthier lifestyle in a world where we are overwhelmed by toxins everyday.”

Being a salon owner, Brenda strongly feels that it is her responsibility, as a professional, to help her clients find ways to make better decisions towards a healthier lifestyle. When speaking to other salon owners, her message is clear: “People want help from people that they can trust. And…we have to do it for ourselves, too! We work in a very toxic industry, which is especially dangerous for our health as we are exposed to it.”

Brenda lives and works in Arizona, where the heat is HOT and the air is DRY. She feels that it is important to have natural products that help to keep the shine and moisture in hair without plastics and chemicals that actually cause further drying.  “Phasing out some of the eco-offenders and hazardous chemicals and incorporating natural, organic, and biodegradable products wherever we can is a no-brainer! To top it off, it makes perfect sense because Shear Miracles products leave you looking and feeling more gorgeous than ever!”

Her personal favorite hair products are thePump Up the Volume Mousse and Just a Little Hairspray. “The names are perfect…they give my clients just what they are looking for: The volume they need and the holding power to still have touchable and shiny hair. My clients also love these products because they see that I am such a believer in them, myself!”

Brenda would especially like to thank Robyn and her husband for the, “…passion, devotion, and hard work that has brought us this wonderful line of products, and their motivation to continue bringing more of the BEST for ourselves and the people we care about.”

Passionate about a ‘Healthier You’

Lisa Testa, M.S., of Healthier You, LLC, has been an invaluable supporter, fan, writer and advocate of Shear Miracles by Robyn ~ Organic Salon Products, almost from our beginning! As a trained Holistic Nutritional Consultant with a passion for teaching, it was a natural fit to begin writing for us. Like many people who have made lifestyle changes, Lisa has a story. Her holistic journey began while she was an Italian Education major in college. Lisa struggled with her weight most of her life, when she came across a “powerful” book entitled, What Would Jesus Eat by Don Colbert, M.D. She just couldn’t put it down. “I read the entire book front cover to back in one night, and literally never touched white bread or white sugar again”, says Lisa. Lisa even changed her major and started studying Holistic Nutrition, which is the field that she now holds a Bachelor’s and Master’s degree. Growing up Italian, Lisa’s family life was characterized by “cooking and eating everything”. Studying Holistic Nutrition familiarized her with a wide array of different therapeutic healing diets. Lisa decided to try each specific diet mentality for herself, for a minimum period of three months, as she learned about them. This way she could legitimately recommend them to her clients. She tried vegetarianism, veganism, dairy-free, macrobiotics. Finally, Lisa tried the raw foods diet. “I intentionally tried it last because I knew that it would be the most difficult for me.” Lisa committed to it for only one month and in the summertime, when “there would be a lot of delicious fresh produce”. After only two and a half weeks, Lisa discovered a “totally amazing transformation” that took place in her body and she knew she would never go back to eating anything but 100% raw foods again! Five years later, Lisa says, “I have never felt better in my life”. She no longer struggles with her weight, her vision has improved, she no longer struggles with sinusitis or eczema and now she has “energy that is over the top”! After about a year of “being raw”, Lisa had a terrible reaction to getting her hair colored. The healthier she got, through a pure diet, the more she noticed that her conventional beauty care products were beginning to bother her. Not wanting to stop highlighting her hair or using beauty products, she Googled Organic Salon Products and found Shear Miracles Organic Salon, located in Lancaster, PA. Although she lived in NJ, she decided to make an appointment and make the trip. Lisa has been using (and writing for) Shear Miracles Organic Products ever since! “I love SO many SM products. I have favorites that I use EVERY SINGLE DAY!”, she proclaims. Lisa’s personal favorites are the Calming Shampoo & Conditioner, the Purely Amazing Shampoo & Conditioner, the Fresh Styles Spray Gel to make curly hair stay beautiful all day long, the Orange Body Lotion, the Beautiful Face Blush, and last but not least, the Summer Paradise Shower Gel. “I have tried many other products, and NO other company compares with the purity of SM…or the quality.” “Shear Miracles Products work beautifully!” Lisa has always loved to write “especially on topics that I’m passionate about”. She is a Staff Writer for Purely Delicious Magazine and has also written for publications like, Vibrance Magazine, Natural Awakenings Magazine and, of course, Shear Miracles by Robyn ~ Organic Salon Products. In Lisa’s own words, “I love writing for a company that I truly believe in!” Lisa would like to tell the world to “Smile in gratitude for the gift of life, Give with the heart of a servant, and Love with compassion like Jesus.”

She wants people to understand that she typically doesn’t recommend or put her clients on an all raw diet, unless they have an interest or desire to try it because it can be socially difficult. Her favorite phrase is, “Levels of Goodness…There are always levels of goodness for every decision you make…”

Salon Voices Impromptu Interview With Robyn

The Most Important Part Thing of All

First things first.

I have always despised math. It was my worst subject in school. I am definitely a visual person, soabstract things, like math (including paperwork, bookkeeping & computer programs) make my brain hurt. I remember my dad helping me to understand math concepts when I was in school growing up & even though I probably cannot recall howto “do” most of those mathematic principles, I remember one most important common sense rule that applies to what we, as hairdressers, do everyday. Over & over again, Dad would say, “Robyn, you have to learn the basics first” Over the years, he would only have to say one word…”Basics” & I would know what he meant. I remember rolling my eyes when I would hear that word. Now as an adult, I understand why it is so true.

So, try to avoid rolling your eyes while I bring you back to the basics. The most important thing of all is (I’m only going to say one word) CONSULTATION!

A winning consultation takes you beyond being an ordinary hairdresser, gets you connecting with your client, and turns you into an extraordinary one! When you do an excellent consultation and train your client to expect it, you will not only win that client, but you will get referrals and win your clients friends as well.

So, let’s go into what makes an outstanding consultation.

We have all been tempted to rush this most basic and important part of our service, but this should never be and I hope to be able to show you why. The most important thing that we can do, as hairdressers, is to connect with our clients. Never, never rush as your client will feel this. As in the words of, Jessie Briggs, Salon Owner, The Extension King & Caribbean Drea…, says inThe Real Hair Truth documentary, “Treat every client as if it is the first time they were ever in your salon.” Consultations should be given to every client, every time.

Start out by making your client feel welcome. Give them a professional handshake. To help you connect, take the time to notice the color of your client’s eyes. Are they hazel, brown, or blue? Look long enough to really notice. Smile, this will help them feel relaxed. Say hello, and introduce yourself. Here is an example of what I would say:

“Hello (so & so), I’m Robyn. I’m the owner here at Shear Miracles & I will be doing your hair today. Welcome. I’m glad you are here. Would you like to sit down? “

Offer them to sit down while turning the chair toward them, then slowly turn the chair to face the mirror.

I like to be a customer once in a while and see what other salons and stylists are doing. (I always do this as a customer in disguise.) I would encourage you to do this as well. It is a great learning experience! So many times, even in the best salons that I have visited,this very basic thing (a proper greeting) is missing or done wrong. So often it starts out something like this:

“So, what are we doing today?”

Let me ask you a question. What makes you pay top dollar for a service? (I’d love you to answer this as comments.) I believe that the bottom line is having our needs met and feeling fulfilled. How do we achieve this beyond the welcome?

The very first key is good communication. This is the ability to ask the right questions and listen in a way that your client feels heard and understood. Learn to really listen. It’s best to focus. Be calm and have a clear mind. You cannot truly listen if you are thinking about what your plans are after work, how busy your may be that day, etc.

Creating useful dialogue begins with the right opening after your professional welcome. Take control and set the tone with a positive statement like, “You have nice texture to your hair.  The color we do today will really compliment it well. Before we get started, I’d like to ask you a few questions, is that OK?” This gets your client to feel confident from the start. Remember to use eye contact. Do not only look at your client through the mirror. Ask open-ended questions & repeat what your client says back to them. Use visuals to clarify, such a pictures or your hands, as we will discuss later.

This is so important that I cannot stress it enough. I remember as a young hairdresser making a client very upset. I was doing an “amateur” consultation with a young girl who told me she wanted a layer in the front while pointing to her fringe area. I assumed that she was speaking about a bang. So, I proceeded to give her what I thought was a fabulous cut & style. I turned her around to see herself in the mirror and to my surprise, she freaked out! She said, (really loud, I might add) “You gave me bangs! I didn’t want bangs!” Needless to say, she was never a client of mine again, nor did I win her friends. The old saying of what happens when you ASS U ME was experienced by me that day!

So, what kind of questions should we ask?

As stated before we want to connect. So to accomplish this we must get to know about their lifestyle. What does your client do professionally? How much time do they take styling their hair? Asking what are her favorite magazines, will give you a clue to her values, interests & what is important to her. Ask open-ended questions and always repeat what the client tells you. Some more examples are, “How would you describe your style?”, “When you aren’t tan, how would you describe your skin color?”, “What is the #1 concern you have for your hair?”, “Is their anything you dislike about your hair right now?” Take into consideration the age of your client.

Vivianne MacKinder, of HairdresserTV.com, teaches, “We want to give a look that complimentswho she is & doesn’t compete with who she is.

We must take into consideration our client’s face shape. Ask your client, “Do you have a favorite  feature?” Look at their bone structure. Use your hands to frame their face. Do they look better closed in or opened up? Study their hair-line & face shape. Is it oval, diamond, heart, round or square?

Turn them sideways & look in the mirror. Is their face shape concave, straight or convex? Look at the position of their forehead in proportion to their nose & chin. Keep in mind that you want the hair style to look good all the way around. We are sculptors, not painters.

Another important factor that many hairdressers overlook is their clients body type. The cape is around their neck covering up their body. All we see is their head sticking out of the top & we forget that their hairstyle needs to be proportionate to their shoulders &  the rest of their body! Is their body type an apple, banana, hourglass or a pear shape?

How tall is your client? At this point, ask your client to stand up. I am extremely short. I am only 4′ 10″ tall. Imagine if I had really long hair. Looking at me from the back, it would cut me in half & would shorten my waistline. Now imagine if I had a larger behind (which I don’t, by the way!) & had a pear shape body? Long hair would accentuate the area that I may not want to look any larger! So, think about it, do you want to lengthen the waist or shorten the waist? What would be complimentary?

What kind of hair texture will you be working with? Do a thorough hair analysis. Check the following:

• porosity
• elasticity
• density or abundance
• do they have natural or color-treated hair
• is there grey or white hair?
• is the hair fine, medium or course?
• is there any styling product build-up (let them know this will never happen if they are using Shear Miracles Organic Salon Productsexclusively)

Ask them to describe their hair to you. Ask them what they like & don’t like about their hair. If a client wants to fight their natural texture, it’s very important to ask them if they will be willing to put the time into styling it. Explain to them that it will take some effort on their part. You may also want to suggest some treatments with them at this point, such as a keratin treatment or a texture wave. This bring us to the next question.

Is your client high or low maintenance? This is important to find out before you decide what style to give them. For instance, if you talk your client into getting a keratin treatment & color with highlights, how often will they need to come back to maintain this look & how much money will they need to expect to invest? Is your client a soccer mom with a limited income or a single professional? Also, remember as the years go by priorities change & they can fluctuate between high & low maintenance. Understanding & being sensitive to this will create loyalty & trust between you & your client.

Last but not least, clients appreciate knowing how you plan to proceed. Explain to them the expected results, the time it will take, how often they will have to plan on maintaining this look & the amount of money they will be investing.

Now I know that this may seem like a lot, but really once this becomes a natural part of what you do, it only take a few short minutes & the rewards are well worth it!

Start putting into practice anything you may have overlooked & let me know your results!

Introducing our NEW Luxury Cream Foundations!

What makes our Luxury Cream Foundations so

luxurious?

We are so excited to be able to offer our latest addition to our ever-growing, health-benefiting cosmetic line! One of Shear Miracles by Robyn ~ Organic Salon Products’ promises to you is to not only avoid those ingredients that may be harmful to your health and beauty, but to mindfully choose ingredients that are good for you! I personally believe this is why, when someone uses our products for the first time exclusively, they see tremendous results so quickly. See our customer testimony page here or our celebrity page here.

Our new Luxury Cream Foundations are formulated to be a rich and luminous cream, offering medium to build-able full coverage while hydrating the skin. Presented in a simple, yet elegant, clear compact, these creams are designed to be used alone or with our Luxury Loose Powders for a fuller coverage, matte look.

Upholding to our high standards, we have chosen specific ingredients to keep your skin looking its best! Loaded with meadowfoam seed oil, this non-greasy, moisturizing oil protects your skin from ultra-violet rays while reducing wrinkles and signs of aging, as you wear it the whole day long! Coconut oil fights free radicals, also protecting your skin from signs of aging, such as age spots. Strengthening the connective tissue, coconut oil can bring back your youthful appearance by keeping your skin firm, so your skin won’t sag or wrinkle. You will be amazed at the smoothness of your skin as this antioxidant rich oil aids in healing and repairing any damage that may have been caused by the sun or problems of the past. Say good-bye to blemishes and break-outs! These beautiful cream foundations contain castor seed oil carefully chosen for its germicidal, anti-bacterial, antifungal and disinfectant properties, while alleviating infection through its healing qualities as well as, anti-inflammatory jojoba oil which regulates your skin’s moisture – keeping your skin balanced so its never too oily or too dry. Jojoba oil also helps clear blemishes and is nourishing, revitalizing and moisturizing!

Sun protection against UV rays is important, too. Zinc oxide, being antibacterial, provides the sun protection you need while assisting in keeping your skin clear. Our non pore-clogging candelilla wax gives your skin a protective barrier from the environment.

My Personal Shear Miracles Organic Regimen

What I Use

As the creator and owner of Shear Miracles, many people have asked me about my personal Shear Miracles Organic regimen and which products I use the most. Of course, owning your own professional beauty care line is like a dream for a stylist. I tell our formulators exactly what kind of product I want to use, and believe others would like to use too, and after months of testing (on myself and a few close friends – never on animals), they make the 100% pure and health-filled product in the exact aroma, consistency and style that we feel is perfect. So it stands to reason that I absolutely love every product in the Shear Miracles Organic Products line.

Upon waking, I shower with Smooth Skin Organic Shower Gele‘. Filled with essential fatty acids, its slippery consistency gently cleanses and nourishes my skin with an exotic aroma including rose, almond & patchouli. I cleanse my hair with any of the shampoos or conditioners that the Shear Miracles line has to offer, depending on my mood. Today it was the Forest Breeze Organic Shampoo & Conditioner. It has a very refreshing, earthy, woodsy aroma with a hint of spearmint. Shaving is fun. Did you know that the Peter Butter Gina Jam Organic Personal Lubricant makes an excellent shaving gel? Hee hee.

Next, to keep my skin looking young and supple, I lather Beautiful Body Organic Body Butter in my favorite scent of almond, which perfectly compliments the shower gele’. This is an essential step for me because I love to be outdoors playing with my children and my skin gets a lot of sun exposure.

Before I apply my make-up, I spray my face with the Miracles Happen Organic Hydrator and while it is still wet, add a touch of the Miracles Happen Organic Moisturizer. This skin care line is simply amazing! We have tons of testimonies about how this skin care system (including the cleanser) improves your skin, making it look younger and smoother. Next, I apply the brand new Luxury Cream Foundation (been using this for months & can’t wait to add this to the website for you to experience it , too!) in the Nude shade and its matching Luxury Mineral Foundation. Wow! After applying this base, I have a flawless finish and I don’t even feel like I am wearing any make-up! Adding a little Beautiful Face Organic Blush to my cheeks, I then use the No NANO Purple Potato Eyeshadow as a liner. I like to use the No NANO Sunlight Eyeshadow on my lids and I cannot go without the Organic Mascara in Black. For my lips, I always use Cocoa Peppermint Stevia Sweetened Lip Gloss for a nude, sheer finish.

To style my hair, I spray it thoroughly with Fresh Styles Organic Spray Gel and finish with Bee Waxed Organic Pomade.

Today is my Mom’s birthday. We are going to get a pedicure and of course, we will be bringing along the Beautiful Feet Organic Foot Scrub and Cream.

Summer Fun!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

What is it about Summer that we love so much? It’s the sunshine, the vacations, being poolside and all of the fun outdoor activities! Although these are fun, it does mean we have to change our beauty regimine a little to keep your hair and skin in tip top shape. Shear Miracles has exactly what you need for your Summer beauty care. 

Detoxify Organic Clarifying Shampoo is exacly what you need this summer. Unlike most clarifying shampoos on the market that contain harsh chemicals, like sulfates, to strip your hair, our Detoxify Shampoo uses organic vinegar. Vinegar has been used for centuries to make the hair shiny and healthy and is an excellent exfoliator of the scalp, too! (Used also in The Right Stuff Organic Shampoo formulated for a healthy scalp – no more flakes!) Vinegar is slighly acidic and helps restore balance to the hair by sealing the cuticle, while it gently removes unwanted build-up of traditional hair care products & chemcials, such as chorline from the pool water.

Detoxify Shampoo has nourishing oils like coconut which adds bounce and shine to your hair. Coconut also has the amazing ability to penetrate the hair shaft and reduce protein loss which can occur from over-exposure to the sun and chemicals.

We have also chosen an extremely conditioning, anti-bacterial oil, jojoba, which can stimulate new hair growth, has excellent moisturizing abilities for a dry, itchy scalp which can also happen during the summer sunshine months. Jojoba oil prevents your hair from becoming dry or brittle.

Cinnamon extract prevents hair breakage and lessens the amount of hair that falls out, while thyme stimulates the hair follicles encouraging hair growth!

Here is an ingredient list for a big-named, professional salon clarifying shampoo.

Water (Aqua), Sodium Laureth Sulfate, Lauryl Glucoside, Cetyl Alcohol, Sodium Chloride, Glycol Stearate, Cocamidopropyl Betaine, Phenoxyethanol, PPG 5 Ceteth 20, Fragrance (Parfum), Pentasodium Pentetate, Limonene, Methylparaben, Citric Acid, DMDM Hydantoin, Stearic Acid, Saccharum Officinarum (Sugar Cane) Extract, Aminomethyl Propanol, Hexylcinnamal, Linalool, Wheat Amino Acids, Hydrolyzed Soy Protein, Butylphenyl Methylpropional, Citrus Limonum (Lemon Peel Extract), Pyrus Malus (Apple) Fruit Extract, Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract

I enourage you to look up the ingredeints individually to find out what they are.

Now here is Shear Miracles by Robyn’s Organic Detoxify Shampoo’s ingredeints.

Structured Vitamin Water, distilled water, organic African Black Soap, organic oils of: coconut, jojoba, grapeseed, apricot & evening primrose; organic vinegar, organic herbal extracts of: rosemary, burdock, horsetail, sage, oregano, thyme, lavender, peppermint, goldenseal, cinnamon, & lemon peel; plant sourced kosher vegan xanthum gum & potassium sorbate; organic essential oils of: orange, grapefruit, listea cubeba, rosemary

Let Your Hair Shine!

Everyone loves the commercial when the model turns to face you with her luscious head of shiny, silky hair falling all over her shoulders. Have you longed for hair like that? Do you go through phases when your hair feels brittle and dry, or do you seem to lose clumps of hair at a time in the shower or when brushing? Part of this phenomenon can be due to the season and weather, but oftentimes it is due to various forms of hair damage that has occurred. Hair damage can occur in five main ways: 1) Heat – hairdryers, hotcombs, hot curlers, straightening irons 2) UV Rays – over-exposure to sunlight and tanning salons 3) Mechanical Devices – overuse of combs, brushes, curling irons, etc 4) Chemicals – hair coloring, perms, relaxers, swimming pool, air pollution 5) Poor Diet – Lack of protein and essential fatty acids These elements all contribute in different ways to the amount of damage in your hair. There are many things that we can do to lessen the damage, and also help our hair to rebuild and be strong and healthy again. One thing that you can do is to search out a salon that uses an organic hair coloring/treating system before your next appointment (Check here to find a safe Shear Miracles Organic Salon near you!). This step will ensure that your hair will not be laden with harmful chemicals during the coloring and styling processes (This is especially important if you are pregnant or nursing!). The second thing you can do is make sure that your diet is fortified with essential fatty acids (EFAs). Deficiencies of EFAs are surprisingly very common in affluent countries, due to the typical diet of processed foods, refined sugars and flours, and refined fats. Our bodies need plant sources of essential fats likes Omega-3s and Omega-6s in order to function properly. These fats can be found in foods like flaxseeds, hemp seeds, leafy greens, raw pumpkin seeds, raw sunflower seeds, raw walnuts, olives, sprouts, and all cold-pressed vegetable oils. Including more of these foods in your daily diet will allow your hair to receive all the healthy nutrients it needs to shine with radiant health. Finally, using a shampoo and conditioner that is protein fortified will result in great improvement to damaged hair. 88% of our hair is protein, so it stands to reason that a protein-rich shampoo/conditioner would help rebuild a lack of proper protein in our hair. All of Shear Miracles Vegan & Gluten-Free, Organic Shampoos & Conditioners are made with hemp protein. A wonderful product is Shear Miracles Tuff’N Up Organic Protein Boost shampoo and conditioner, our most power-packed set with hemp proteins which help with hair that has been damaged from any of the ways described above. They also build up thinning hair and help to prevent hair loss. Hemp protein is a great source of complete plant protein, and one that is easily absorbed and used by our bodies. From the moment these Tuff’N Up products hit the scalp, they begin to revitalize, rebuild, and restore dry, brittle, and damaged hair, putting you directly on the path towards hair that is vibrant, shiny, and smooth. Taking good care of our hair requires us to make healthy choices on the inside AND the outside. What we eat shines through in our hair and skin, what we expose ourselves to shows results in the way in which we look, and the products we use either damage our hair or strengthen it. Make healthier choices for the inside and outside of your body…and you hair will surely thank you for it with a lustrous glow! Blog post submitted by Lisa Testa

Review of ‘The Real Hair Truth’

The Real Hair Truth, Volume 1 by Joseph Kellner

The Real Hair Truth is the first documentary that I have seen in my 20 years of being in the beauty industry that has portrayed many of the thoughts and feelings about the hair business that I have had for many years. If you are a hair dresser, salon owner or thinking about becoming involved in the industry, please watch this film with a positive open mind. Although on the surface, this documentary may be taken as negative about the hair industry, it is not. Our industry is at a turning point in our country. No longer is becoming a hair dresser associated with those individuals that are considered “not college material” or for those who don’t know what they want to do with their future. According to one of The Real Hair Truth’s contributors, Eric Charles Mokotoff, an accomplished hair dresser, educator, and colorist, “it is a profession of art, science, psychology, creativity, fashion, beauty, trend, media and well-being.” Joseph Kellner, a successful hair dresser and make-up artist of over 20 years, is calling for a positive change at the appropriate time. This is exciting to me! He covers many different topics including practical advice on being a successful hair dresser, how to look for the right salon to start in, the necessity of apprenticeship, the importance of continuing education, booth renting verses commission based salon programs and salaries, hair shows, maufacturer based beauty school education, and so much more. Please buy this film, pass it on, put into practice what you learn and become part of the change. (Plus, Joseph donates a portion of the proceeds from this documentary to go to continuing education for hair dressers that cannot afford it!)
