Take a look at this video of Vicki and find out why she says, “My experience with this whole process has been amazing! I can’t tell you how much my self-esteem is up and how happy this has made me. It just means so much!”
Vicki, a 55-year-old dental assistant, had tried finding solutions to her hair thinning and loss – including wigs. But nothing seemed to give her the natural look she wanted. She made a choice to get a professional assessment of her hair thinning and loss and to find solutions that would work for her.

Do you ever feel like your hair system or extensions are coming lose between services? There are a few reasons why this may happen including: changes in weather, changes in lifestyle or activity level, or hair growing faster than normal.
Trying to find a quick fix by purchasing a glue or bond that claims to work on hair or works great holding house items together, can put you and your investment in your hair into a sticky situation. These types of quick fixes can completely destroy your hair system, burn or cause severe irritation to their scalp, and even cause damage or loss of your growing hair.
The adhesives and bonds we use are specifically and exclusively formulated for Jeffrey Paul Salon, with professional grade ingredients that my hair care professionals are thoroughly trained on in order for us to achieve the best results your hair system, your growing hair and your skin.
Bonds and glues that are not exclusively used here ultimately can cause you to spend much more money replacing your hair system. Here are a few recommendations for you, if you notice that your hair system is coming lose prior to your monthly services.
-Tack-Down Service – This services allow us to rescuer, in 15-20min, areas where you feel your hair system is slightly coming loose. All you need to do is give us a call and we can normally schedule you in for these within a day or two.
-Re-secure – One of the most important steps to my Beautiful Hair Maintenance System is to make sure to re-secure your hair system after every wash. After towel drying your hair with a Friction Free Towel, press down around the outer parameter of the hair system or extension to re-secure the attachment. This insures a more secure fit between services.

“I feel so confident. I can say ‘yeah’ and ‘hooray’ – this is the Pam I used to be!” –Pam
My good friend Pam had hair loss, which greatly affected her life. At 63 years young, this retired school principle was devastated. She remembered her mother going through the trials and tribulations of hair loss and the struggles of trying to style her hair to camouflage the thinning. All of which didn’t work. Pam told herself she would never go through that and yet with her significant hair loss, she was right where her mother had been. Pam came to us at Jeffrey Paul salon and we were able to help her find a solution that allowed her to live her life without the worry or stress associated with thinning.
Consultation:
We helped prepare Pam for her makeover by beginning her experience with a consultation to review each step of the process. We outlined options for color and style while ensuring that lifestyle and preferences were a major factor of the outcome for her replacement system.
Myth – The Beautiful Hair Products can last several years.
Fact – Because our products are developed with the highest grade USP ingredients the shelf life of the Beautiful Hair Products is 1 year. After a year, we cannot guarantee that the product will give the same quality results.
The guidelines for product usage are based on how many times per week a guest washes their hair and the length and texture of hair. The usage chart below is based on 6”hair length in a straight texture. Hair longer than 6” or with more curly texture would mean that product will be used faster. Hair shorter than 6” length would mean that product would be used slightly slower (Usage below based on an 8oz bottle):
1 Wash Per Week = 5 – 6 months
3 Washes Per Week = 3 – 4 months
7 Washes Per Week = 1 – 2 months

This past weekend I had the great pleasure of spending time with my first granddaughter who is turning one! As I was playing with her she placed her hand in mine and I recognized how soft her baby skin was compared to mine.
Everyone knows the feel of a baby’s skin. The skin is soft, plump and filled with moisture – this is due to the skins natural occurring Sodium PCA which acts as a moisture retention agent. As an individual gets older Sodium PCA becomes less and less causing skin to become dry and tight.
Because hair has very similar characteristics to skin, when we specifically formulated our Beautiful Hair Care System one of the main ingredients we used in our Moisturizing Conditioner was Sodium PCA. This ingredient helps retain moisture in the hair. As moisture is retained, the shine of hair increase, tangles are reduced, hair is more manageable, color is deeper and richer, and best of all dryness is gone giving you the look you desire.
Women all around the world spend millions of dollars each year trying to find products that make their hair and skin look and feel younger and softer. Hair products promise to do many things but you can’t always “judge a book by its cover”… it’s more important to know what is in the products you use and why those ingredients are important to giving you the look you desire.

“I finally feel good about myself and how I look. That makes me happy. I want to share that.” -Cindy
As a former hospital employee, Cindy was always in the public eye, and like most of us, her hair had always been a big part of her appearance. As Cindy began to lose her hair, she was able to determine that her hair loss was not only hereditary, but was also being caused by a medication she was required to take after surgery. Cindy told me that her hair loss started slowly, but as any of us who have experienced loss know, a little is enough to throw us into that private panic, and search for a solution. Cindy came to me at my salon, and we were able to walk her through her thinning and loss, and find a solution that met her needs and made her feel good!
Consultation:
When Cindy first came into my salon for a personal consultation we reviewed her background and determined her hair type, face shape, skin tone, level of activity, preferences and health treatment status. These are all important factors to determine which is the best solution for her. Then we moved on to the evaluation and assessment of what solutions may be best for her.
Do you wonder how you can get salon soft hair at home? Simple! The secret is to pre-condition your hair, before your regular shampooing! This helps eliminate tangles when shampooing hair. If hair is tangled when shampooing you are not getting clean hair and you are going to create breakage in hair because of snarling of the tangles.
This is what you can do BEFORE you get into the shower to help condition hair while also removing tangles to get salon soft hair:
1. Get a water bottle and put a small amount of conditioner into a spray bottle of water. Shake really well.
2. Section your hair and then spray the pre-conditioner onto hair above and below the sectioned hair.
3. Comb through hair using a Wet Brush to help eliminate tangles.
4. Then let it sit while you get ready to get in the shower.
“Losing my breast was not really the issue. My hair was – as a woman it’s a big part of how people view you… Jeffrey Paul, and his team, gave me back the feeling of beauty both on the inside and with my hair!” – Kristin.
Kristin is a stage one breast cancer survivor. As a result of her chemotherapy, she knew she would lose her hair. That was both scary and confusing. She had always been known as someone with a full head of thick, blonde, beautiful hair. Even though she knew her hair didn’t define who she was, she was still very overwhelmed.
Consultation:
At our center, the first step for Kristin was to meet with one of my consultants who evaluated her situation and her coming loss. For Kristin, we recommended a full cranial prosthesis. Kristin learned everything about a new hair system—how measurements were taken, the cap fitting, the breath-ability of the piece, the differences between human hair and synthetic, how it would be secured, and more.
There are many different ‘hair loss solutions’ out there on the market today that promise a ‘miracle solution’ that will stop all hair loss. At Jeffrey Paul Salon we know that hair loss is very specific to the individual, their diagnosis, their habits and their lifestyle. Sometimes the solution is not a pill or an extremely invasive procedure but rather taking a strong hard look at your lifestyle.
For example, meet my friend Cathy. Cathy began to notice that her hair was extremely dry and was starting to fall out. At the time her salon told her it was a side affect of the products that she was using, however Cathy was eventually diagnosed with Alopecia. Cathy, like most of us in her situation, began the search for the solution that would solve her problem.
After many different quests, including a trip to a dermatologist for scalp injections, Cathy came in for a consultation at Jeffery Paul Salon. We were able to advise her on her hair loss and we suggested that she begin by changing her lifestyle – to make sure that she was taking in the right vitamins and consuming the right foods and beverages to maximize the nutritional benefits for growth and reviving her hair. Along with this we recommended some conditioning products and laser light therapy – to help stimulate blood flow in the scalp and strengthen the hair follicle and hair shaft.
For Cathy, focusing on nutrition and supplements combined with conditioning hair products and light therapy sessions have allowed her hair to become shiny and healthy once again and have helped to lessen the hair loss she was experiencing.

Knowing your individual face shape important while styling your hair, whether or not you are experiencing hair loss. Below I put together a list of the eight most common face shapes, I’ve also included my tips (as a stylists) for the best hair style for each shape.
WHEN YOUR FACE IS TRIANGULAR Characteristics: Wide chin and narrow forehead. The Goal: You guessed it – narrow the chin and widen the forehead.
Pick a style with full volume at the sides to balance your face shape. Wear hair full at the temples, brushed away from the face and up toward the ear to widen the forehead. From the ear, angle your hair forward, toward the chin, to soften and narrow a strong jaw. Chin length or longer will look best.
WHEN YOUR FACE IS DIAMOND-SHAPED Characteristics: Consult your local baseball field – narrow to near points at forehead and chin, wider at cheeks. The Goal: Fill in across the top and bottom to an extentso you can really sparkle.
Framing is a girl’s best friend in your case: consider styles that keep hair close to the head at the cheekbone line to create fullness across the jaw and forehead. Styles that lift away from your cheeks or move back from your hairline should be avoided.
WHEN YOUR FACE IS ROUND Characteristics: Wide, with full cheeks and a circular form. Ready for winter. The Goal:Make your face look slimmer; lengthen or narrow your features.
You may need a style that helps make your face look slightly thinner. Below-the-chin styles should be worn with a face-lengthening center part. Above the chin-line, wear an off-center part. Keep a little height at the crown of your head and slim your face by keeping your forehead uncluttered – in other words, no bangs. In a short, angled style, wear hair away from the face, and add a little height at the crown to lengthen the look of your features. If you do wear bangs. Tousle them toward the side. Keep longer styles close to the face.
WHEN YOUR FACE IS HEART-SHAPED Characteristics: Wide brow, full and prominent cheekbones and a narrow chin. The Goal: Narrow your forehead, widen your jaw line.
You may have the look of love, but you might want to try reducing the width of your forehead by parting your hair in the center and flipping bangs upward or styling your hair slanted to one side with a side part. You can also help to make the lower part of your face look a little wider to balance out your proportions by styling your hair at shoulder length or turned under the chin; mid-length will work best for you. Create fullness at the bottom and direct hair forward onto the cheeks, or try some curls or waves from the ears down.
WHEN YOUR FACE IS OBLONG Characteristics: Long, thin face with a pointy chin The Goal:Shorten things.
Try a low side part with a sweep of hair brushed diagonally across the forehead and gently combed in place. A voluminous look with an asymmetric hair flow to one side will create the illusion of width over length, as will straight bangs or bangs blended with the sides of your hair.
Mid-neck length will look best on you and style with curls, waves and volume will look flattering.
WHEN YOUR FACE IS PEAR-SHAPED Characteristics: Noticeably wider at the jaw than the forehead, but still sweet. The Goal: Balancing act.
You thought the “pear-shaped” distinction was reserved only for figure references. Not so. Your hair should be styled fairly close to the top of your head with a fringe of curls and bangs, combined with fullness at the sides, to make your forehead appear to be a little wider and to add balance.
WHEN YOUR FACE IS SQUARE Characteristics: Angular jaw, square brow, both nearly the same width. The Goal:Soften the sharp jaw angle and minimize your squared brow line.
Your style should lift off your forehead. If you brush it forward at the temples and jaw line, it will lend your face shape some necessary narrowness and softness. You can wear wispy bangs. Your face goes perfectly with asymmetrical styles, so all you remaining die-hard ‘80s new wave fans can happily stay in your element and look great doing so, as some of these styles are back in vogue with a softer edge. We’ll stop the world and melt with you. Walk away – we’ll follow.
WHEN YOUR FACE IS OVAL Characteristics: Perfectly symmetrical. The Goal:Don’t worry, be happy.
Lucky girl! The Oval face is the “perfect” face shape. You can wear almost any hairstyle. For long styles, a classic look is a center or side part with hair touching your shoulders. A short, layered look with curls and a close extended nape would work nicely too. Long, short, up, or in your face – they all look just right with your perfectly symmetrical face shape. Just don’t let it
go to your head.
