What matter is ingredients, price and performance!

We actually care about your hair; so much, that we have created our own hair care line.
After 20 years of seeing what so-called Salon Professionally Only companies have done I have decided to take a stand.
Today’s product manufacturers have spent more time and energy being advertising firms rather than true hair care caring companies.
It used to be that salon products can only be bought in a salon. That was why every professionally made product has been stamped with Guaranteed When Only Purchased in a Salon.
But these companies have sold out the salons and have chosen to sell on Amazon, EBay, and in every drug store and supermarket in America.
Consumers are being lied to about ingredients!
Many of the so-called Sulfate Free products have sulfactant substitutes called sulfagates. These are petro chemicals found in car washes. Same with Keratin treatments claiming formaldehyde free. This is just one example of the “free” substitute game played by these large companies.
Did you know many of the products out there all come from the same labs?
We at Hair Studio Artists actually care about your hair and what goes into it as well as the importance of home care and supporting your color and fresh haircuts in need of maintaining their style.
Hair Studio Artists has contracted private chemists to bring you the most affordable performance based hair care line.
Since products need sulfactants to make lather and suds we’ve decided to use sulfactants from coconuts, thus bypassing harsh unwanted trick chemicals.
Our products are truly sulfate-free, paraben-free, sodium-free, all-natural and results driven.
Because we own it and produce it; it will not be found anywhere else except here at the salon or on our own website making it available to all.
Because we own it and produce it we control what goes into and how to price it.
Because we want you to use it, we have made it very affordable in addition to larger sizes than those sold by major brands.
Because what you put in your hair affects your color and cut, we want results that truly make a difference.
Because we care about the ingredients you spend your money on.
Because we do not want to compete with drug stores, other salons and infomercials.
Because we’re the ones who touch your hair and know it.

SOUTH FLORIDA HARD WATER, its killing your hair



What’s in your water and shower head? I know!
 
As a colorist in South Florida the single most frustrating thing is the water. We live in one of the most concentrated hard water areas in the country.




The water is hard and full of minerals that attaches to your hair and produces discoloration, build-up, fade-age, and makes your hair feel dry and dull.


The next time you’re in the shower just look up. All those white caked-up deposits are calcium and all those green spots are copper. Imagine what they’re doing to your hair?
Let’s not forget lead and magnesium and if your color is always brassy or red then iron is the culprit.
If you want longer lasting color, healthier hair, longer lasting keratin treatments then let’s talk.

For starters run to home depot and get this most affordable filter, it will help your hair tremendously without the costs of high end water softeners.



Secondly don’t skimp on product and salon visits. Make your appointments faithfully every 4-6 weeks, any longer will cost more due to additional fading and mineral deposit.

Third, you must be using salon profession product and get a detox treatment every 3-4 months.
These are very simple affordable steps to give your color the insurance it needs.
All too often the clients look to a salon as a source of blame when the issue is right in their own faucet. Let’s face it you can’t leave looking fabulous and then 2-3 weeks later think it was us, that would be silly. 

Hair Studio Artists is committed to creating fabulous and educating clients on all the ways to improve the health and integrity of the hair.

Choosing a Salon



A few helpful tips on choosing a salon.
We all have certain desires and expectations when choosing certain things and a salon should be no different.  From the moment you step foot into a salon you want to be welcomed by friendly staff and amazing fragrances.  What is it that women in today’s world want from a hair salon?
We are all very much into comfort and at the fingertip service.
You come home from work take a look in the mirror and see that you need to visit the salon since your new growth is showing but the salon is closed. What to do?
Does your Salon have 24/7 online booking on the computer or even on a smartphone?
Who doesn’t like to receive something extra when we spend our money?
Does your Salon have a rewards program?
I want to go to a salon where they use professional products.
Ask questions, an informed customer is a happy customer. Questions like” What is it that you are using on my hair today” “What do you recommend I use for my dry scalp? Is the product you use sustainable? These are all questions you think about but sometimes don’t voice.   The Salon staff are all doing what they do best which is to give your hair the best treatment possible. Going for a haircut or color that you spend money on and purchasing products in a food store from someone who did not get training in hair care is not always the most advisable.
Does the Salon sell any product?
If a salon cares about you they would make it easy for you to purchase everything you need to take care of your hair’s optimal beauty. It includes everything from the shampoo to styling products and tools.
What is used in the back bar and styling chair should be sold in the retail section.
BEWARE: If a Salon is using only one or two big bottles of shampoo without labels and are trying to sell you products that they are not using while styling hair. These are usually the salons that are looking to make a sale and don’t care about your hair.
 I want to get my hair straightened but am scared because of all the formaldehyde scares.
Ask the stylist questions about the product they use in their salon. Not all Keratin treatments are toxic.
If the Salon cares about you and your hair they will not be using dangerous products.
I need to go out tonight and would love to get my makeup done as well.
Having a makeup station goes hand in hand with beautiful hair. Adding a little color to your face after getting your hair done makes you feel even better.

Is the salon you are going to a one stop chair?
Going to a salon where the Stylist and Colorist are all the same person could turn you into an ordinary person and sitting in the same person’s chair for hours could become boring. Having a fresh set of eyes doing your cut and color keeps your look new. Look for a departmentalized salon where the Stylists and Colorists are separate but working together to create an individualized look. Being departmentalized gives a stylist or colorist the opportunity to be experts in their field.
Taking care of your hair should be a number one priority from the Salon you go to.
Hair Studio Artists strive in excellence by offering our clients everything they need.  Online Booking, Smart Phone apps, Rewards Programs, Shampoo Beds, Professional Products, Professional Styling Tools, Safe Keratin Treatments, Makeup station, Departmentalized Salon with Affordable Services
