Happy Holidays!

Happy Holidays!

Best wishes to you and yours during this festive holiday season!

As the song goes, “It’s the happiest time of the year …”

Certainly it is, but, it’s also one of the busiest, and, Can we say it?, it’s one of the most costly. And, of course, it’s a time when everyone wants to look their absolute best.

In that spirit, we’re posting our holiday schedule, which includes expanded hours, as well as the expected closings; hosting a special “gold mine” party designed to help you earn a little extra shopping money; and introducing a fabulous new service designed to keep you looking great by eliminating curl and frizz (without removing volume) and reduce your styling time.

Christmas Week & New Year’s Week
The salon will open at 9 a.m. on Christmas Eve and New Year’s Eve and close at 4 p.m. and 1:30 p.m. respectively; and will be closed all day on Christmas Day and all day on New Year’s Day.


To accommodate busy schedules, the salon will open an additional day on each of those holiday weeks—Monday, December 21 and Monday, December 28. Hours and stylist availability on those days will, however, be limited, so please call ahead to book an appointment.

In addition, Don will be available for appointments on Tuesday, December 22.

January Vacation
Starting with the January 1 holiday, the salon will be closed through Wednesday, January 6, reopening on Thursday, January 7.


Diane's vacation, however, will extend through Friday, January 8. She will be back at the salon on Saturday, January 9.

It's A Gold Mine Party!
Well, it’s not actually a party. It’s more of an open house, but it’s the type of event that may leave you celebrating!

It’s a chance to kick off the holidays with a little extra spending money.

Gold is at an all-time high, and we’ve got a representative from It’s A Gold Mine Party! visiting the salon on Wednesday, December 9 from 11 a.m.-to-2 p.m. and from 5 p.m.-to-8 p.m.

She’ll be paying the official price of gold for that day—typically 15%-to-20% higher than most jewelers, since there’s no middleman involved. All you have to do is search your jewelry box for unwanted gold pieces. Broken necklaces, outdated bracelets, single earrings . . .
Why not turn them in for money?

We hope to see you on Wednesday, December 9! Just stop in—or call for an appointment if you’re short on time. It only takes about 15 minutes to turn in your “old” gold and leave with something far more fun!


And for those of you coming in the evening, there’ll even be wine and cheese!

Brazilian Blowout
There’s a new kid on the block when it comes to keratin-based smoothing hair treatments. It’s called the Brazilian Blowout, and it offers some unique advantages and features that set it apart.

Like other keratin treatments, it represents a revolutionary trend in the hair care world in the fight against unwanted curl and frizz. Like them, it delivers multi-month results (up to three!) and leaves the hair in better shape than it found it--smooth, healthy and conditioned with a radiant shine!

How then, does it differ?

The main difference between the Brazilian Blowout and a treatment like the Keratin Smoothing Hair Treatment by Coppola, that we also offer, is that the Brazilian Blowout leaves the hair with volume!

That's right--volume! Not everyone likes their hair super straight (a hallmark of the Coppola treatment), and if you're one of those people, the Brazilian Blowout may be right for you.


As a bonus, the Brazilian Blowout is also faster to administer (an hour or so less) than the Coppola treatment; and there is no waiting time to shampoo the hair after the treatment is administered. (The Coppola treatment requires a 72-hour waiting period before the hair can be wet—or dampened—or set in any way. That means no shampooing, no sweating, no pony tails, no barrettes, etc. for 72 hours!)

So if you’ve always wanted to take advantage of a Keratin Smoothing Hair Treatment, but didn’t want to lose your hair’s natural volume, or didn’t want to deal with the 72-hour waiting period, the Brazilian Blowout may be the perfect solution.

Call the salon for more details!

Happy Holidays!

Fall Specials

Moroccan Oil Deep Conditioning Treatment: $15 Off
Say so long to “stressed out” summer hair with our Moroccan Oil Deep Conditioning Treatment. This luxurious, soothing treatment, which includes a relaxing scalp massage, is based on the centuries old use of vitamin-rich Argan oil, a powerful antioxidant, UV protector, and free radical neutralizer that strengthens hair and increases elasticity. Treat yourself to a relaxing experience … and beautiful, healthy hair.

PhytoSCOPE Event: Back by Popular Demand
(and It's Complimentary!)
In July, we hosted our first-ever PhytoSCOPE event, featuring microscopic hair and scalp analyses by a licensed Phytologie technician. Not knowing what to expect, we were blown away by this complimentary service. Lindi Pearce, the event’s technician, was a virtual powerhouse of knowledge.

On Thursday, October 1, Lindi will be returning to the salon from 12 p.m.-to-7 p.m., meeting with clients and conducting hair and scalp analyses to reveal the overall health and condition of their hair. She’ll then discuss the botanicals that can best address each individual’s unique hair and scalp needs and which Phytologie products are designed to deliver results.

Men and women of all ages and hair conditions can benefit from this amazing service, but those with hair loss and conditions such as psoriasis, eczema, dandruff (as well as dry and oily scalps!) will find it especially helpful.

Each analysis takes less than 15 minutes. There is no obligation to purchase product, but for those of you who do, there is a gift with every two-product purchase!

Don't forget to book your appointment for this complimentary Phytologie event! Just call the salon at (914) 925-1100.

Note: For those of you unfamiliar with Phytologie, it's an amazing line of botanically based shampoos, conditioners, treatments and styling aides developed to nourish and enhance the hair's natural beauty.

Keratin Smoothing Hair Treatment: $50 Off, Complimentary Shampoo, Conditioner and Follow-Up Blowdry ($140 Value)
The amazing success of our past Keratin Smoothing Hair Treatment specials convinced us to dream up another offer for those of you who love the way this revolutionary treatment reduces frizz and curl for up to three months while strengthening and revitalizing the hair.

Throughout the Fall, we’re offering the following with each treatment: A $50 discount, a complimentary Coppola shampoo and conditioner (only certain products can be used on treated hair) and follow-up blowdry after the 72-hour waiting period of “keeping the hair dry” has passed.

Don’t miss this great chance to love your hair!

It Feels Like Fall ... And Schools Bells are a Ringing

It’s still summer … but let’s face the facts: Fall is in the air. Something happens when the weather turns brisk and families return from “summer” vacations and hunker down for the new “school year.”

At The Best Little Hair Salon In Rye, we always sense the change of seasons. When fall arrives, parents enjoy more free time, but less time flexibility; sun worshippers lament hair “stressed” from the summer sun and chlorinated water; and everyone seems to breathe a sigh of relief that cozy, fall days and the hum of regular routines have returned.

The excitement of fall fashions, colorful foliage and upcoming holidays makes fall a festive, joyful time of year.

Make sure to usher it in with one of our fabulous fall specials.

Good bye summer, and hello fall!

Spring Is Here!

It’s Spring!

The season officially arrived at 7:44 this (March 20) morning. It’s a time of renewal—and a perfect excuse to update our salon newsletter!

For those of you in the Rye area, it’s been quite a day: After a week of fairly mild weather, we awoke to a surprise snowfall of the biggest, most beautiful snowflakes imaginable. Winter’s last hurrah didn’t last long, however. By late morning, the snow was melting, and as of this writing, the sun is shining and there’s nary a snowflake in sight.

Change is definitely afoot—and not just in the outdoors.

As of today, we’re happy to welcome back Debra Parrinello, a wonderful stylist and colorist who was part of our team for several years in the salon’s earlier history. Her professionalism and talent are a perfect addition to our already accomplished staff. For those of you who have never met Debra, we’ll be adding her picture and bio to the website’s Behind The Chair section in not-too-distant future. Make sure and check it out!

Spring, snow and Debra all in one day!

Speaking of change . . . the Refer-A-Friend program we tested during the holiday season is now an ongoing salon program!

Your response to the program has been amazing. And why not? It’s a great way to earn discounts for yourself and your friends and recommend the “best” salon around.

Simply tell your friends (or family or strangers) about the salon. Every time one of them visits the salon for the first time and tells us you recommended them, they receive a $10 service discount on their visit, and you earn the same discount on your next visit. It’s a win-win situation—and there’s no limit to the number of discounts you can redeem in one visit! (Just make sure your friends know your first and last name, so we know who recommended them!)

Spring is beckoning!

We look forward to seeing you in this beautiful new season!
