My hair has been chemically straightened, which is a huge improvement, but I need someone new who can give me a good haircut to go along w/ it.Thanks!Jessica Recommended: Amethyst Salon Alameda Images Hair Salon Alameda Shine Forth Hair Salon Downtown Oakland Studio One Piedmont Av Thick Wavy Hair Dec 2003 My requirements for a stylist are as follows: Berkeley/Albany/Oakland area (I know excellent stylists in W.C. and SF but do not want to travel far), someone who does great color as well as cut, someone who is not daunted by thick, wavy, tree-bark texture hair. As well, price is not a consideration. Festoon is not an option for me. My hair thanks you, in adv Requesting straight, silky tresses next life around Recommended: Boziki's Salon Rockridge Haircut for Curly-haired teen July 2003 My 13-year-old daughter has quite curly hair, and is interested in a cute, currently-stylish cut and style. Since the current trend seems to be stick-straight hair (just check the fashion magazines and hair-color boxes for proof), she can't find pictures with ideas for a good style. She does NOT want it straightened - just cut in an easy-care style that won't accentuate the curls too much, and does not look ''old-lady'' (that would by my age!). I'd like recommendations for a Berkeley area hair stylist who has done similar TEEN haircuts, and might have pictures for my daughter to peruse first.R.K. Recommendations received: I have a friend with curly hair, and she visits Festoon Salon in Berkeley (they also have a salon in SF). She is always very happy with her layered curls, and she varies between long and short hair. This friend in in her late twenties, and very hip, so I think that a teen will be pleased with this shop's work. Their phone is 415-421-3223. I have very curly hair myself and can empathsize with yourdaughter! I believe that it is very important to have some onecut this type of textured hair with some expertise. I found mystylist through a web site - naturally curly and from othercurly girl recommendations. My stylist is Ron Lee and he cutshair in SF at a salon called Elevation . He is pretty expensive(90 bucks) and booked up well in advance. Here's the web sitefor other recommendations http://www.naturallycurly.com/curly girl I found the most wonderful products for curly hair made by a local woman, all natural and great prices. It's on line, called Jessicurl, www.jessicurl.comand you will be supporting a great local business. Also, lots of other natural body and hair products. Finally,something a good price and natural that works!curly haired mom Check out this site for curly hair http://www.naturallycurly.com/. It includes a listing of stylists in each state that style curly hair, as well as reviews of hair care products. Lots of styling ideas, too.Julie Good Curly Hair Cut in East Bay Jan. 2003 My friend and I are both looking for a new hairstylist. We have curly hair and agree that many stylists don't do a great job with curly hair. I like my stylist, but she's in Sacramento and I can't make the commute anymore. We both live in Montclair so we'd like to find someone either in Oakland or in Orinda or LaFayette. Of course, reasonable rates would be great, but skill and creativity are more important. We've looked over the older recommendations but given how stylists move around, we were hoping for more recent information. Thanks!Jennifer Recommendations received: Jennifer Archbold W.

Re: Haircutters for Curly Hair (2001) Recommendations received: Elemental (2) Festoon Salon Peter Thomas Right Angle Vine Street Salon 4-year-old's curly, frizzy hair We're looking for help with a big problem: our 4-year-olddaughter's hair. It's very thick and curly, and in some areasthere's a thick frizz. It gets full of tangles and knots, socombing and washing it is stressful for all concerned. We useconditioner, and keeping it braided helps, too, but not enough.We'd like to avoid cutting it really short, because the lengthalso makes it pretty and has become part of her unique charm.Does anyone know of a good hair specialist who's got experiencewith kids, who can advise us about this? You mentioned you use conditioner, but do you use the leave-in kind? Thatreally works to help me keep my friz down ( I have very thick wavy/curlyhair). It might help to decrease the tangles.Laurel you know, for any black (african) people braiding has always been a naturalthe solution for this. there is also the option of a perm, but for alittle girl it doesn't seem appropriate. i would suggest you find a good hair braider. if you take this advise,avoid "shops"; they are extremely over-priced. look for a friend orneighbor or relative. if you need help, feel free to reply to me. i braidboth my own hair (i am african american) and my daughter's (who is southasian). using oil or leave-in conditioners is also helpful for the frizz. i likeone by keihl's of ny and another by aveda. i'll check the names of themand send you another message tomorrow. my sister-in-law (who is southasian) turned me on to coconut oil. it is good because, unlike petroleumbased products, the hair stays cleaner and it's very inexpensive. you'llhave to be sure to get the pure kind; you can find it at heath food stores-there is an excellent brand called "spectrum". my sister-in-law uses abrand called "parachute" which you can buy in the indian markets (onuniversity). the right kind of brush is important too. i am still searching for theperfect one for my daughter. i'll let you know what i discover... good luck.Fatimah As for frizzy hair, I have thick, curly hair that gets frizzy a lot. I use a boar-hair bristle brush and blow dryer to smooth out the frizzies. There are a lot of products out there that help straighten hair and keep it from frizzing in wet weather. I've been pretty happy with them. The only negative aspect of this method is that it takes me about 1/2 hour to smooth out my hair, which I have to do every other day when I wash it. I agree with whoever recommended the leave-on conditioner as well. Alison Responding to frizzy,wavy hair. I too have curly, wavy, frizzy hairespecially in cold wheather. I got tired of not being able to brush my hairout once it was dry so I got a permanent relaxer. I have done it about twicewithin the last 2 years. Now I can have the different styles I have wanted,however it is expensive. I have use a good defrizzer by Sebastian calledlamantes gel or Sebastian Laminates "get is straitt." Another method I use tocalm down the frizzes is to put my hair up wet let it dry,usually the next dayand put hot big rollers to give it body. I usually only wash my hair twice aweek to allow my hair to distribute its natural oils. You can get the hairproducts at any hair salon, it is expesive but a little bit goes a long way.I have a question on the African American woman who said to use braids isanother way. I wonder if thick wavy hair would be a good candidate? Doesyour hair itch? and how long could I leave it in? Looking forward to hearingfrom you and other suggestions on frizzes.

Leg Hair Removal

Dept of Dermatology Laser Surgery Hair Removal (Epilation) The causes of excessive hair growth are mutliple. Hair growth is mainly a result of heredity and hormonal levels. Some drugs as well as certain illnesses can stimulate hair growth. For millions of men and women who suffer from unwanted facial or body hair there are solutions for permanent hair removal: laser hair removal and electrolysis. Laser (Intense Light) Hair Removal Laser hair removal provides a breakthrough in epilation with the capability to treat a wide range of hair colors, textures and skin types. Laser hair removal is a non-invasive light therapy process that successfully and safely removes unwanted hair of most colors from all parts of the body on most skin types with excellent results and minimal thermal injury to surrounding skin tissue. This method of hair removal offers the following benefits: Low incidence of side effects Reported adverse effects are substantially fewer and less severe than those of other treatment modalities. Most side effects are temporary and usually resolve within 2-4 weeks. Less likely to cause permanent pigment changes Less likely to cause scarring Virtually no burning No needles or injection There is no use of needles and no skin punctures associated with the procedure, thereby reducing the risk of infection. Less discomfort The treatment feels like the snap of a rubber band, causing only slight discomfort compared to other hair removal methods. No local anesthetic or other pain medication is required No waxing or coloring with a black carbon substance prior to treatment Faster treatment time The device's large spot size allows removal of a very large number of hairs per flash and permits safe and effective removal of hair from large body areas Convenient There is no need to suffer the daily unpleasantness and irritation of shaving or the pain of waxing. The average patient will require three treatment sessions at approximately six week intervals to achieve permanent hair removal from a given area. Electrolysis Electrolysis is a way of removing individual hairs from the face or body. Today's medical electrolysis devices, called epilators, destroy the growth center of the hair with a short-wave radio frequency. A very fine probe is inserted into the hair follicle at the surface of the skin. The hair is then removed harmlessly with forceps. Electrolysis is a time-tested method that was invented over 100 years ago to remove irritating, ingrown eyelash hairs. It can be used to safely treat most areas of the body including the eyebrows, face, thighs, abdomen, breasts and legs. While chemical depilatories (liquids or creams) may be an effective means of removing leg hair, these products cannot be used on the face. Depilatories contain irritating chemicals and can also be time-consuming and messy. Likewise, bleaches contain harsh chemicals and do little to disguise dark hair. They may also discolor the skin. Waxing is another temporary method of hair removal and is usually done in salons. A hot wax is applied to the skin and removed once it has dried over the hair. The hair is stripped off when the wax is removed. Waxing can be painful and costly. Home waxing kits are available but they can be difficult to use and messy. There are electrical devices available for home use that try to copy the devices used by professional electrologists. These devices are often unsafe for use by anyone who is not trained in electrolysis. Electrolysis also offers these advantages: No significant discomfort Electrolysis usually does not cause any discomfort. Modern electrolysis methods have reduced any discomfort to mere tingling. Safe and effective There are rarely permanent side effects. Sometimes, a slight reddening of the skin occurs during or immediately after treatment, but will only last for a short time. Electrolysis is very safe and, unlike depilatories or bleaches, no harsh chemicals are used. Since many factors influence hair growth, several treatment sessions will be necessary. The total number of sessions needed to remove hair permanently from a particular area will vary from person to person. Most patients return once a week or every other week, but the unwanted hair will be gone forever once the treatments have been completed. Each treatment lasts between 15 minutes and 1 hour.

Laser Hair Removal in California, Treatments for Unwanted Hair Laser Hair Removal California Unwanted hair can be a problem shared by both men and women in California . Sometimes the condition runs in families. Race can also be a factor- whites are more prone to having excess facial hair than are Asians and blacks. Some people experience unwanted or excess hair from the time they reach puberty; others find it to be a condition that gets worse with age. Some women experience additional hair growth during pregnancy or menopause. Hair does not come in any one size or type. Follicles in different parts of the body produce differing types of hair. Hair can grow in thick, bushy patches or in long thin strands. In addition, hair isproduced in follicles that can be found at different depths and densities as close to the skin's surface as a millimeter or as deep as five millimeters or more. Until recently, this great variety in hair types and body locations madelong-lasting hair removal a significant challenge. Typical treatments are waxing, tweezing, shaving, creams, and electrolysis. But now there is a new laser hair removal treatment in California .
