Hairfreé Brushes - Review & Giveaway

http://www.hairfree.bz/images/others/hairfree_logo.jpg

The average person loses between 40 and 120 strands a day! I have very long and thick hair and I would guess at least half of those hair strands lost are tangled in my brush. Like many women, I struggle with built up hair in my brush. Cleaning my brush always feels like a tedious chore. I am able to remove large clumps of hair but there are always smaller strands intertwined with the brush bristles. To remove those, I normally grab a pair of tweezers and slowly begin to remove each strand of hair, one by one. I'm sure you know exactly where I am coming from and understand how frustrating and time consuming cleaning a brush can be. When it is all said and done, I am either beyond aggravated or on my way to the store to purchase a new brush.

Hairfreé has a an ingenious product - a brush that cleans itself! To remove hair from your Hairfreé brush, simply pull the handle. You will see the black plates that were previously flush to the body of the brush move outward all while lifting the hair from the brush. All that is left for you to do is grab the hair off the top of the brush and discard.

Hairfreé brushes are so versatile! No matter your ethnicity or the type of hair you have, be it fine, thick, curly or straight hair, Hairfreé brushes work well. They will flawlessly transform your hair from frizzy to silky without the dry, frazzled breakage caused by a flat iron. Hairfreé brushes are great for styling your hair. The brushes use ceramic technology for faster heating and drying times. Hair styles can benefit from the ceramic technology to become smoother and shinier while drying quickly. Hairfreé brushes are a great alternative to using a flat iron daily. The brush plates are ceramic coated so they retain the heat from your blow dryer.

Before Hairfreé


After Hairfreé


Hairfreé brushes worked great! Normally it takes me an hour or longer to achieve the above results. I couldn't believe my Hairfreé made my hair this straight! It was so convenient and easy to use as a styling tool and cleaning my brush was so simple. I know several women who prefer hard bristles, and would love Hairfreé. Personally, I prefer flexible bristles and found Hairfreé to be a little rough on my scalp. Overall, Hairfreé is a "must have" product for every woman. These brushes are such a time saver! The flat brush includes a mirrored back, making this perfect for on the go. I am ecstatic to have discovered Hairfreé!

Splurge Salon Review

Splurge Salon is North Texas chic with a French connection. At Splurge Salon, you will find only the best premier designers and world class color experts ready to help heighten your confidence and enhance your style.

Pre- Appointment Review

Last week, I called Splurge Salon to schedule an appointment to have my hair cut and styled. After dialing the salon phone number, I was pleasantly surprised to hear a pleasant voice answer the phone after just one or two rings. I spoke to Jenna who was very helpful and polite. I requested a weekend appointment and to my surprise, she was able to fit me in with Lindsay on such a short notice.
My appointment was scheduled for Saturday at 12:00. Prior to leaving
for my appointment, I keyed in the Salon address into my GPS. My GPS wasn't able to locate Splurge Salon, so I printed the directions. I had never been to Highland Village before, but the directions were fairly clear and simple. Once I was in the area, I drove around for nearly 2 hours. I couldn't see the salon anywhere. My cell phone had died so I had no choice but to go home and call the salon from there. I called Splurge and spoke to a friendly, outgoing Amanda. She advised me that a few of the streets weren't real streets. Splurge Salon is located in an outdoor mall area and the streets on my directions can't be seen fr
om the main road. Amanda was very patient and took the time to explain in detail exactly how to get to the salon. She was happy to schedule me for a 4pm appointment with Lindsay and told me if I had any problems finding the salon to call and ask for her and she would help guide me. It's rare to find customer service like this anymore, and already I am extremely impressed.

My Review

I arrived early for my appointment. Lindsay was finishing up with a client, so I made myself comfortable while I waited. The girl at the front desk was very kind. She offered me a drink asked if I would like to use their internet bar. This is a great feature to have for women who bring their significant other or children along. I found it particularly useful myself, as I used that opportunity to tweet about the amazing design of the salon. Splurge Salon is very modern and unique. I especially loved the exposed black duct work/pipes. The ambiance is remarkable! Once you walk into Splurge, you automatically feel cheerful, welcomed, relaxed and full of style.

Lindsay was right on time! She walked over and introduced herself and took me back to her station. I was asked to hang my purse on the wall hook and we walked to the wash station. On the way, I noticed the built-in water fall. How neat is that?! Lindsay proceeded to wash my hair. I had never experienced anything like it. She didn't just wash my hair. She massaged my scalp and temples, almost putting me to sleep. While she was washing my hair, an employee emerged. It was Amanda! She stopped to ask if I had found the salon okay. I thought it was very nice of her to stop and say hi.
Once I was seated in the styling chair, I presented Lindsay with a photo of what I wanted my hair to look like. She thought it was a great style for me. I had mentioned I have naturally curly/wavy hair. She told me the layers with this cut would help me to achieve a more consistent curl. The relaxation didn't end at the sink. Lindsay was very gentle and the blow dryer nearly put me to sleep. The conversation was nice as we talked mostly about our children. She explained what she was doing and made sure to ask how short I wanted to go. This is especially important considering I am partial to my long hair. In the past, I have been completely butchered when 2 inches suddenly becomes 5.

Here is the photo I presented
The End Result
...And a few more photos of my new hairstyle

As always, I planned on leaving a tip before leaving. There is a sign at the front counter stating Splurge Salon does not accept gratuity. Instead, they ask for referrals! They also have a Client Loyalty program in which you receive discounts on your services! To view the services offered at Splurge, click here. Don' forget about this awesome 20% OFF coupon!

Whether you are looking for a quick trim or a complete transformation, Splurge Salon is the place to go. Splurge Salon is by far the best Dallas Salon I have every been to. Don't forget to tell them Jennifer from Review Retreat sent you.

Splurge Hair Salon & My New Look

It's been about 6 months since I have had a haircut. I am so excited to be visiting Splurge Salon for the first time tomorrow. I have an appointment with Lindsay. Take a look at how beautiful this salon is:

I found a picture of what (I think) I want my hair to look like.It's very long and thick and is naturally curly. I normally straighten it because I can't achieve an all over consistent curl. I think with all of the layers, I could rock this look straight or curly.

After a long thought and a very good laugh, I told myself I didn't want to look like a freaking weirdo, walking into the salon with a mannequin and wig. So.... I found a similar look, except the layers are blown inward instead of outward.

I'm a bit worried. I'm not sure what color my hair is, but its definitely not blond. And my face is much chunkier than these ladies (or lady, ha!). I'm going to take my photo in tomorrow and leave the final decision up to Lindsay. Be sure to check back for my update with before and after photos!!
