Power Painting with Ashka Salon Spa

Power Painting

Two weeks ago, I traveled to Cincinnati, Ohio to attend the Hair Color Magic: Power Painting class! This class has been a hot commodity ever since it came out at the beginning of this year. Since hair painting techniques such as balayage, have been all the rage lately, Hair Color Magic thought it would be best to create a class for it.

What is Power Painting?

Power Painting is Hair Color Magic’s version of hair painting! It gives a flawless blend with customizable amounts of dimension throughout the hair. Lupe Voss, the founder of Hair Color Magic, took the time figure out the best formulas using AVEDA enlightener and viscosity for this technique. She also spent time using multiple types of application brushes to find which one works best with our particular product. I actually got one of the brushes from attending the class, and let me tell you, it’s a miracle worker.

This grown out, hand painted, sun kissed look seems like it should be around for a while. There are so many ways of rocking this style. And realistically who doesn’t want to look like a glowing goddess? I know I do!

Why Should You Power Paint?

Power Painting

By “power painting” you are using AVEDA products. In my personal opinion AVEDA products are the best. You are able to condition your hair with the AVEDA’s plant power while getting your dream hair over time. After getting your color it is always important to properly care for your hair. Your stylist will recommend the best at home care, personalized just for you! One of the biggest benefits is that power painting does not mean one specific look. Everyone’s will be different! No one will have the same color as you. You are also able to ask any questions you may have about your personal style.

Until Next Time,

Prepping for a Business Trip in Canton

Business Trip

Prepping for a business trip can be incredibly stressful. I will be attending Ian Michael Black’s Color Culture class in Minneapolis, Minnesota in the middle of August. Ian Michael Black is AVEDA’s Global Artistic Director for Hair Color. This will be the second time I will be flying for education. There are a lot of things that you can’t control when you are flying, so the best thing to do is to be sure of everything that you can.

My Business Trip – What is This Class About?

Ian Michael Black

This Color Culture class is a once in a lifetime experience. I will be able to be in a small classroom environment learning from Ian Michael Black himself. On top of that, I will also have the opportunity to get a behind the scenes tour of the AVEDA factory as well as their corporate office. I cannot even begin to express how excited I am! I’ll be sure to blog all about my experience.

How Am I Prepping for My Business Trip?

I have always been someone who needs to make a list to pack. I like to have everything written out and prepared. It will stress me out if I am unsure if I forgot something. I recently purchased a new notebook specifically for this trip. I will use the first few pages to make my packing list. I also want to write down some classes that I want to ask Ian Michael Black if I am given the chance. On top of all of that, my manager was saying we should be sure to have all phone numbers and addresses on a printed out itinerary.

I still cannot believe that I have the ability to attend this amazing class. I am going to take full advantage of every minute while I am there. Be sure to stay tuned into our blog so you can hear all about it!

Until Next Time,

Josie 🙂

Balancing Work & Play at Ashka Salon Spa

Balancing Work

If you were to talk to my manager, she would tell you that I constantly struggle with balancing work and play. I have been caught multiple times asking if having down time is even worth it. Some people may even consider me a “workaholic”. Coming from someone who just adores her job and wants nothing but to be able to be the best she can be, squeezing in me time can be very difficult. I have found though, those off chances that I do pamper myself, are more than deserved.

Balancing Work
Balancing Work and Play can be harder than it seems.

Balancing Work with Play

How many times have you worked yourself so hard that you dread when your alarm clock goes off in the morning? While I am not saying we can make you love that (annoying) sound every morning, I can promise that we can help make it a little more bearable. I challenge you to end a long work week with a Manicure with Kym, or a Massage with Sarah. Maybe you even just need a trim so you can enjoy your complimentary scalp massage. At Ashka Salon Spa, we are working to give you some “me” time. We want you to put down your phone that can drive you batty during the work hours and just enjoy the peace and quiet with us. Book an appointment with Beth for a facial after a big presentation. Again, I promise you will love it.

 

“The space and quiet that idleness provides is a necessary condition for standing back from life and seeing it whole, for making unexpected connections and waiting for the wild summer lightning strikes of inspiration—it is, paradoxically, necessary to getting any work done.” This was written by Tim Krieder for the New York Times. It is a wonderful quote. It shows how important downtime truly is. You need downtime in order to accomplish anything.

As I said before, I challenge you to set aside time for yourself. Away from your work. Away from your family. Away from any responsibilities. Enjoy your time in the serenity offered at Ashka Salon Spa

Until Next Time,

Josie 🙂
