Who knew that's what ions did?

Yesterday we had an awesome class learning all about the One styling tools that we sell at Salon Epiphany. We learned about positive and negative ions, tourmaline , ceramic plates on flat irons, different kind of motors, and how all these things make a difference in what kind of tools you use to dry and style your hair. 

Here's some awesome points of difference when choosing One Styling tools 

• They admit 26x more negative ions (which dry hair faster & create amazing shine) 
• The ceramic plates on all of the flat irons are coated and baked 3 times (other companies only do this once) then coated in pearl dust or diamond dust to give a smooth glide (and they last much longer!) 
• The curling stiks, bubble wand, ribbon wand, and spiral wand reach 410 degrees while no other companies go over 325, paired with the gold dust in the coating gives you beautiful long lasting curls! 

To learn more about these amazing tools, check out their website at www.onestyling.com or stop into Salon Epiphany for a recommendation and demo!  

Stay tuned for Fabulous Deals in February!! 

Helping create joy this Christmas

This holiday season our hearts have been led to help the boys at the Methodist Children's Home Society. These boys will wake up Christmas morning without families, as they are awaiting adoptive families or are in foster care. Help us to create some joy and let them know they are not forgotten. You can view our online donation site 

http://www.youcaring.com/other/creating-joy-for-children-s-home-society/112451

Or visit www.mchsmi.org to view wish lists and you can drop off gifts (or wrapping paper products) to the salon (22289 Goddard, Taylor mi) by Dec. 12th. 

We thank you for your support! 

Redken Symposium 2013

Try our slideshow maker at Animoto.


Not only was Redken Symposium a lot of fun, but I learned a ton of new color techniques, hair cuts, styling, good business practices, and how to make each clients visit the best it can be!  I may not be a Redken user, but they sure can inspire a Stylist!  The theme of the event was Obsession, and they challenged each of us to become obsessed with education, this was not a hard concept for me, I am in love with learning anything I possibly can when it comes to hair!  I stay up too late almost every night watching videos, reading articles & blogs, searching and pining to my Pinterest page , attending any class or show that I can, and anything else that I possibly can to learn.  I love learning as much as I love sharing what I learn.  When I am invited into a Salon or store to teach Pravana classes, I am always honored.  It's an amazing feeling to see something click in a stylists head.  And that feeling that I get, makes it all worth it.  That is my obsession. 

One of my favorite things . . . Learning! (Bet my mom never thought she'd read that!)

As I get ready to head to Vegas for Redken Symposium, I can't help but to already feel so inspired! I follow many of the educators whose classes I will be attending on Facebook and twitter, from the bits they have been sharing I can tell that I will be challenged and learn so much.

Getting ready involves putting together head sheets ( yes pretty much what your thinking, outlines of heads with different views so you can draw color & cut techniques), camera charged with lots of memory, comfy shoes, and most important an open mind ready to learn. I'm hoping to come home with great ideas not only for Salon Epiphany, but color techniques and haircuts to step my skills and bring your looks to the next level!

Keep posted for all the new looks and ideas that I'm about to learn!
