  • Not more Towel Dropping! Secure Your Client’s Towel With Sur-Cape!

    It is estimated that just about 40 towels a week are dropped during a trip to the wonder salon. This mostly happens due to the slick material of the cape at the side of the movement by the shopper to or from the hair dryer, salon chair or maybe the restroom. Sur-Cape, is a brand new design for a shampoo cape to be able to solve towel dropping problems!

    Sur-Cape is created with high-quality polyester with PU coating. This shampoo cape features elastic straps over the shoulders to secure client’s towels from falling. 

    The cape allows the client’s assigned towel to rest comfortably over the shoulders after use, leaving them hands-free and unchoked by prior draping methods. While knots could be too tight and clips can come undone, the Sur-Cape is a proven approach to securely keep the client’s towel in place.

For the 1st look, I pinned all of my model’s hair to realize the classic updo. For the second one look, I brushed out the curled updo with a large took comb, to gain the ideal soft waved look. To get the curls, I sprayed each curl with Aquage Working Spray, as I wrapped each section around a 1 1/2 inch tapered curling wand.”

    Ashley O’Dell: “My love for all things vintage was my inspiration! Aquage uplifting foam, Aquage thickening spray gel, Aquage fishing spray, and Kenra shine spray were my products of choice. The single tool I used in my look was a 1″ curling iron. It was such a lot fun!”

    Reese Melvin: “My inspiration for the vintage photo shoot were the mint greens and colours of our location. Making my model platinum blonde really complimented her surroundings. I loosely curled her blunt shoulder length hair to provide a weight line on the bottom and gave a soft wave within the front. i wished her hair to be bouncy and fun and reflect within the environment.”

    STEP 1: Tap section randomly from root to ends with the Sam Villa Signature Series Texturizing iron.

    STEP 2: Apply Redken spray starch 15 for control and warmth protection.

    STEP 3: Roll section around a Sam Villa Signature Series Medium Oval Brush and direct blow dryer heat (hot setting) on brush for 30 seconds to bake within the curl pattern.

    STEP 4: Unravel brush by pointing the top towards the top and unwinding over and under the section making a twist. Let the twist cool and set before fingering and applying a finishing spray.
