Andrew James Partners with Eufora and Child Help to Raise Money this Holiday Season


Last year, Eufora made a commitment to raise $250,000 for Child Help.  Salons all over the country, including Andrew James Salon, have come together to make this happen.  

With the help of our amazing guests we were able to contribute over $5,000 to this worthy cause. 

To date, a total of $100,000 has been raised so we still need your help:

This holiday season, 100% of the profit from every Eufora Aromatherapy Candle will be donated to Child Help and a silver bow will be hung in your name at our salon.

Thank you so much for your help!

Yours Truly,

Marie

Blow Dryers, Brushes and Combs, Oh My!!


How to Choose The Right Hair Dryer

Many dryers will differ in style and design, but what is most important is making sure your dryer keeps your hair healthy, shiny and of course dries your hair efficiently!
Here are some tips to find the right dryer:

1. Heat causes damage. Pay attention to how hot the dryer becomes
.

2. Look for a dryer that has control settings such as a
"cool shot" button.

3. To eliminate frizz in curly hair, choose a dryer that comes with a diffuser.

4. A blow dryer that utilizes technology such as
ceramic and negative ions, dries your hair in
half the time and uses less heat. The construction
of the ionic blow dryer also utilizes
ceramic heating
elements instead of traditional metal to infuse moisture and health deep
into the hair strand while
drying.

5. WATCH how your stylist blow-dries your hair. Ask
questions so you can achieve that just
left the salon
look. He/She is your best resource!

For more information and with help choosing the right dryer call Andrew James Salon at (408) 253-4002, or ask your stylist at your next appointment.

New Services Available


We know how valuable your time is. Andrew James is now offering waxing services that can be done while you have your hair taken care of!

Daily wear and tear on your hands can make them look and feel aged, dry and cracked. We are now also offering a "deep conditioning" for them without adding any extra time to your appointment! Schedule the treatment before December 31, your cost is $5.00 (regular price $15.00).

Dezi, our newest team member, is our make-up artist and can help you look extra fabulous for your holiday events. We also offer quick touch ups that are complimentary, just ask!

Fall Fashion Idea


Summer is over darlings. Since Andrew James is taking care of your locks, let’s talk about your looks, a.k.a. WARDROBE. I know it’s tough to think about long sleeves, wool pants and closed toe shoes when it’s 90 degrees outside. But, you must, YOU MUST! I have befriended an up-and-coming handbag designer: Christine Price.

I personally bought two of her designs: Olivia and Grayson. The Olivia is deep and thankfully there are 6 pockets on the inside. I can easily get to my keys, mobile phone and lipstick.
The Grayson is a total utility bag. I carry my 17” laptop, organizer, phone, make-up bag – point is, it can take it.
 The craftsmanship is reminiscent of Coach.

Her Haute Bags range from $299 to $199 – but, because you are an AndrewJames guest you will receive a special discount code: urbandarling.
You may purchase her bags from $49 to $75.

Darling, this is a onetime offer, go big and purchase three: One for you, one for your BFF and one for the neighbor who just had twins. Trust me; they will add serious style to your posh A-line & fall color. http://www.christinepriceinc.com.


All My Fashion Best,

Flash Wave: Not Your Mother's Perm!


The desire for beautiful, natural wavy hair drove the "perm" to the top of most wanted services in the salon.
However we all know "that perm" left alot to be desired!

Since our desire for natural curls has not diminished, Eufora has created The AloePlex Flash Wave. It is a technique and system designed specifically to create various types of natural-looking waves and texture for all hair types while leaving the integrity of the hair intact – you can have your color and your waves too!

The Flash Wave system is not intended to create a tight curl. It incorporates specialized techniques in hair analysis, strategic rod size and placement, creative solution application and placement, and specific processing guidelines. Benefits over tradition perming include:

· Maintains the integrity of the hair. Limits damage breakage and frizz
· Natural looking and behaving waves, body and texture
· Versatility in managing new growth by allowing additional processes to maintain look
· Versatility in the types of styles you can achieve. The Flash Wave can be worn wavy or straight and provides control in every type of styling objective (scrunched, straight, wavy)

SPECIAL for AndrewJames Guests
Schedule a complimentary appointment to discuss the Flashwave with a stylist and receive a complimentary deep condtioning treatment at your Flashwave appointment (a $30.00 value!)
