  1. Beach Waves
    Beach waves have been a hot hair trend for a while now, and we are continuing to see it as we transition into the hot summer months. When it comes to summer, I know that I want the lowest maintenance styles when it is hot and humid. I think the beauty of beach waves is that they give an effortless appearance that still is put together.

  2. Braids
    Braids have been huge lately. The coolest thing about braids is that they come in all shapes and sizes! Really, no two braids are ever exactly alike. I love the texture braids can give to a style! It also is a easy way to keep your hair out of your face and off your neck without just a boring ponytail.

  3. Cutting if Off
    More and more people are opting for a lob, or even a pixie this season! With the hot humid weather, I know I have been trying my best to keep my hair off of my neck. I even got an undercut to help keep it breezy back there!

    This hair color trend is still going strong throughout the 2017 Summer Season. It gives such a natural sunkissed glow to your hair, making you look like you spend all day at the beach instead of in the office.

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 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 🙂
