TAME THAT MANE

  Life is all about options and here at Maxime we are expanding your choices for relaxing and straightening hair to make it less curly and easier to style. You take the puppy to obedience school, right? Why not train the hair, too. That's what a relaxer will do, train your hair to behave.
  • Try the Maxi relaxer for smoother hair, zero frizz and style-friendly hair.  The process takes an hour-and-a-half and costs $195. A retouch is recommended every four months.
  • The Davines Soft Relaxer kills curls without cutting them off. This treatment has unique conditioners for hair to combat frizz and leaves a smooth mane. This hour-and-a-half treatment is $195.
  • The Thermal Hair Relaxer by Yuko is a Japanese hair-straightening system that lasts for a year. The process takes four to six hours, costs $200 an hour, and is great for no-hassle looks. Just wake, wash and power blow dry (or air dry).
  I love each of thes options, but please read the testimonials on our Web site, www.maximesalon.com to get more information on which is best for you.  Come in for a consultation, too.

RONIT'S CORNERprom3

Kelly and I spent six days in Italy at the World Wide Hair Tour 2009 in Venice.  We mixed it up with hair experts from more than 40 countries and we shopped till we dropped. Literally. Much to our surprise, we agree that fashion across the world is the same. Like here, the colors are black, gray and shades of purple.  Indeed, the world is pretty flat. Some things I noticed were American hair color is beautiful rich and vibrant.  I am proud to say that we do amazing color here at Maxime and our blondes are second to none and our brunettes are brilliant and shiny tone-on-tone browns and bold and sassy reds.  I will concede the accessories department to Italy.  The Italian bags, shoes, belts and jewelry are simply extraordinary. They win!

Dry Cut

Just when you thought haircuts from Lindsay and Alena couldn't get any better ... Well ... these two Maxime stylists have one-upped themselves.  Last month, my dynamic duo participated in a Classic Cuts workshop, which was given by Tigi - a leading company in fashion hair care.  The Tigi clinic focused on dry-cutting techniques, a skill that's not taught in beauty schools.  Dry-cutting is a technique that used in salons like higher-end salons like Maxime, where the stylists are required to continue their education. Dry-cutting is especially beneficial for really thick hair as it's a way to lighten the look without losing length, thanks to cutting in seamless layers.  And, for very fine hair the dry-cut technique is utilized to build lots of mind-blowing volume and texture. The result? Double the hair!
