adam's advice

it's prom time! the pros at ab are ready to get you, or your daughter, red carpet ready for those all important photo ops and big night out fun. this year we are recommending a back and shoulder facial and spray tanning to make shoulders and decollete smooth and beautiful. so you can say yes to the dress you want!

spring break must pack...my wet brush. once you use my wet brush after shampooing or swimming you will never go back to a comb or regular brush. my wet brush detangles and gives just the right scalp stimulation. say good bye to the ouch! a must pack for yourself, the man in your life and the kids.

face it! you have too many items in your make up bag and do not not wear them often enough! everyone looks better in a little make up.....so give yourself a new face forward. start with a hybrid make up foundation that multi tasks with sun protection and treatment benefits. these are called bb products, beauty balms. once you try one you won't look back. we carry bb products from natura bisse, clarins, stila, eminence, sue devitt, too faced, nars and more...

spring is still a time when many of us want to freshen up our look. this year put a new styling tool in your easter basket. i recommend natural bristle brushes for a polished look instead of a new easter bonnet.

give mom what she really wants for mother’s day, time with you. make a reservation for pedicures, or get your hair done together before taking her out to lunch......

don't let your graduation cap give you hat hair…bring your cap in when you get your hair done and we can show you ways to wear it to make sure that when you toss it in the air your hair looks as successful as you are going to be! congratulations, you're summa cum laude in great hair!

your wedding day is a non-stop photo op, as well as one of the most important days in your life. worrying about hair, make up or logistics is the last thing you need. that's where our bridal coordinators come in handy. whether it's showing you how to 'let your hair down' after the ceremony or making sure your bridal party is taken care of, we can help you stay calm and look pretty!

don't forget about your soon to be better half....splurge on a massage or spa treatment a week prior, and make sure he knows how good you think he looks with a fresh haircut, manicure and guy brow service.

dry, unmanageable hair? sleep it off...apply your favorite conditioner at night and shampoo and rinse the next morning. you'll notice the difference in extra gleam and manageability.

beauty’s best friend is a good night’s sleep….plan some extra zzz’s before your big event or after a massage or facial.

take care of your highlights……condition your highlights before you shampoo, smoothing your favorite conditioner over the surface and ends of your hair. the longer you leave it on, the better it works.

good color makes you look better, not different. for less maintenance and the most natural look, stay within a few shades of your natural hair now….not the color it was ten years ago.

massage feels so good…but the benefits are enhanced with more frequent massage sessions…..invest in a series and make a new year’s resolution to experience the longer term benefits of massage.

less can be more…skipping a shampoo once a week can help the condition of your scalp and hair, giving the natural oils time to distribute.

cheer up! when winter drags on, take charge and lighten up. take an early spring break at the salon and break up that single process color or your old highlights with some artfully placed baliage hair painting to lighten and brighten your look.

winter pedicures and year round callus control help your feet look , and feel their best…color gel pedicures allow shoes and boots back on immediately…..or consider a hiatus from polish with a natural buffing this winter.

quick headache helper stand in the bathtub in a few inches of cold water….circulation changes can clear your head and freshen your outlook.

use the cool button on your hair dryer to set in your style….helps calm down the cuticle and your style will look better and last longer.

take the time for a seasonal make-over lesson to make sure you are taking advantage of new technology and application techniques…and remember to check expiration dates on cosmetic preparations and make up.
