Fri, 05 Apr 2024 21:21:03 GMT

As winter settles into our high desert climate, so does the challenge of keeping our hair hydrated and healthy. The combination of chilly temperatures and low humidity can leave your locks feeling dry, brittle, and lackluster. Fear not! Mykala and Co Salon has the perfect solution to combat winter dryness – the Kevin Murphy Hydrate Me Masque.

In this blog post, we'll explore why this masque is a game-changer for your hair in the winter months.

Understanding Winter Dryness in High Desert Climates: High desert climates pose a unique set of challenges for our hair. The cold air and low humidity levels can strip moisture from our locks, leaving them prone to breakage and frizz. Additionally, indoor heating systems exacerbate the problem by further drying out the air. This combination can wreak havoc on the health and vibrancy of your hair, making it essential to incorporate a hydrating treatment into your winter hair care routine.

The Kevin Murphy Hydrate Me Masque: A Winter Hair Savior Enter the Kevin Murphy Hydrate Me Masque – a luxurious and deeply nourishing treatment designed to replenish moisture and restore vitality to your hair. Packed with a potent blend of hydrating ingredients, this masque is your secret weapon against winter dryness.

Intense Hydration with Kakadu Plum: At the heart of the Hydrate Me Masque is the Australian Kakadu Plum, a superfood rich in Vitamin C. This powerful antioxidant helps to lock in moisture, promoting hydration from within. In the winter months, when your hair is susceptible to dryness, the Kakadu Plum works wonders to restore and maintain optimal moisture levels.
Repair and Replenish with Shea Butter: Shea Butter, renowned for its moisturizing properties, plays a crucial role in repairing and replenishing damaged hair. In the winter, when your locks are exposed to harsh elements, Shea Butter provides a protective barrier, sealing in moisture and preventing further damage.
Weightless Hydration with Micro Algae: The Hydrate Me Masque incorporates Micro Algae, which delivers lightweight hydration without weighing your hair down. This is particularly beneficial in high desert climates, where a balance of moisture is essential to combat dryness without compromising on volume and bounce.

How to Use the Hydrate Me Masque for Optimal Results: To make the most of this winter hair savior, incorporate the Kevin Murphy Hydrate Me Masque into your weekly hair care routine. After shampooing, apply a generous amount of the masque to damp hair, focusing on mid-lengths and ends. Allow it to work its magic for 5-10 minutes before rinsing thoroughly. Your hair will emerge revitalized, silky, and ready to face the winter with resilience.

This winter, don't let dry and dull hair dampen your spirits. Mykala and Co Salon recommends the Kevin Murphy Hydrate Me Masque to combat winter dryness in our high desert climate. Experience the transformative power of this hydrating masque and embrace the season with hair that radiates health and vitality.

Unlocking Winter Hair Hydration with Unite U Oil: A Guide by Mykala and Co Salon

Fri, 05 Apr 2024 21:21:03 GMT

Greetings, beautiful souls! As the proud owner of Mykala and Co Salon, I am thrilled to share with you some invaluable tips on how to keep your hair hydrated and radiant during the winter months. Winter brings a unique set of challenges for our hair, from dry indoor heating to chilly winds outside. Fear not! We have found the perfect solution to combat winter hair woes – Unite U Oil. In this article, I'll guide you through the essential steps to maintain luscious, hydrated locks all season long.

Understanding Winter Hair Woes:

Before we delve into the magic of Unite U Oil, let's understand why winter wreaks havoc on our hair. The cold, dry air tends to strip our locks of essential moisture, leading to frizz, static, and brittle strands. Indoor heating only exacerbates the problem, leaving us with a desperate need for hydration.

The Unite U Oil Miracle:

Enter Unite U Oil – our secret weapon against winter hair woes. Packed with nourishing ingredients like argan oil, this elixir works wonders to restore moisture, enhance shine, and promote overall hair health. Here's how you can incorporate this magical potion into your winter hair care routine:

Pre-Wash Ritual: Start by applying Unite U Oil to dry hair before washing. This pre-wash ritual allows the oil to penetrate the hair shaft, providing an extra layer of protection against the drying effects of shampoo.
Hydrating Shampoo and Conditioner: Opt for a moisturizing shampoo and conditioner to complement the hydrating properties of Unite U Oil. Apply the oil after washing and conditioning for an added boost of nourishment.
Leave-In Elixir: For ongoing hydration, use Unite U Oil as a leave-in treatment. Apply a small amount to damp hair, focusing on the ends. This not only locks in moisture but also tames frizz and promotes a healthy, glossy finish.
Styling Savior: Incorporate Unite U Oil into your styling routine to protect your hair from heat damage. The lightweight formula ensures that your hair stays hydrated without weighing it down.
Overnight Intensive Treatment: For an extra dose of hydration, indulge in an overnight treatment. Generously apply Unite U Oil to your hair, wrap it in a silk scarf, and wake up to marvel at the silkiness and shine restored to your locks.

Conclusion:

In the battle against winter hair blues, Unite U Oil emerges as the champion, delivering unparalleled hydration and nourishment. At Mykala and Co Salon, we swear by this elixir to keep our clients' hair looking and feeling its best, regardless of the season. Say goodbye to dry, lackluster locks and embrace the beauty of well-hydrated, radiant hair all winter long. Your hair deserves the royal treatment, and Unite U Oil is the crown jewel in our winter hair care arsenal. Cheers to beautiful, hydrated tresses!

A Guide For Choosing Your Perfect Haircolor

Wed, 28 Jun 2023 18:09:00 GMT

Have you ever noticed how a subtle shift in your hair color can drastically change your appearance? Whether that's brightening your appearance to creating a duller appearance, the tone of hair color you choose can create an entirely different outcome with your overall appearance! Here is a simple guide you can use to find your most complimentary hair color for your next appointment! Let's dive in to find your perfect haircolor!

Establishing Your Skins Undertone

There are three skin undertone categories that you could fall under; warm, cool, or neutral. There are a few ways you can determine what your undertone is by simply paying attention to your everyday life!

• When you are out in the sun, do you notice that your skin turns red and you are more prone to sunburns? You most likely have a cool undertone to your skin. Do you tan easily with minimal redness/sunburn? You most likely have a warmer undertone! If you find yourself somewhere in the middle of both of those, you guessed it, you most likely have a neutral undertone!

• The color of your veins can be an easy indicator of what your true undertone is as well! Look at the veins on your wrist and see if you have green veins or blue/purple veins. Green indicates that you have a more warm undertone to your skin whereas blue and purple can indicate that you have a cooler undertone! If you can't definitively identify the color of your veins, you have a more neutral undertone.

• When you have on a white shirt, do you notice your complexion looks more yellow? This means you have a warm undertone. If you notice a more blushed and rosy appearance in your skin, then you have a cool undertone. Don't really see a yellow or rosy color? You fit into the neutral category!

Finding Your Perfect Haircolor

Now that you have figured out what your skin's undertone is, we can dive into finding the perfect hair color to compliment your skin tone!

• If you have fair skin with a warm undertone, we recommend staying on the more neutral to golden undertones when choosing your hair color! If you were to choose a cooler or ashier tone, it could result in a more dull appearance to your skin and could possibly make you look under the weather!

• For those of you with darker hair and fair skin, we recommend staying on the warmer side with your hair color! (Think chocolate brown, caramel, or golden brown.) These colors will bring the warmth out of your skin creating the illusion that you are glowing!

• If you have a warm undertone to your skin, you want to stay in the neutral to cooler tones! This creates a balance between your skin tone and your hair color, making your appearance look well-balanced instead of making you look too yellow if you chose a warmer tone of hair color.

• Those of you who have fair skin with a cool undertone should be more careful when choosing your hair color! A lot of times, these people find that ashier/icy tones of hair color can complement a porcelain skin tone, and we agree! If you are wanting a more impactful color, we recommend trying a cool shade of red or a deep purple tone if you are looking to enhance your complexion!

• If you find that you have medium skin with a warmer complexion, a slightly warmer shade will work wonders for bringing out your tan! Think honey brown and caramel highlights!

If you find yourself struggling to determine how to pair a hair color with your skin undertone, schedule a consultation with your hairstylist and have them educate and guide you through the process so you can start finding hair color inspiration for your next appointment ! There are so many different custom colors you can choose from to fit your skin complexion and enhance your natural beauty to feel confident and beautiful in your skin!

Commission vs Leasing: What’s the Difference?

Thu, 22 Jun 2023 03:11:00 GMT

When starting out in the beauty industry, new stylists are always excited about learning all kinds of different coloring techniques, cutting techniques, and even business-related tips and tricks! The one thing that I have noticed throughout the industry, however, is that beauty schools often forget to educate their students on life outside of school after you obtain your license. It can be a very stressful time trying to figure out all the different job opportunities this career path holds! Whether you're wanting to learn the perks of working at a commission salon, or you are looking into how to run your own private business with leasing, here is some key information to keep in mind when focusing on your path after cosmetology school!

Leasing Pros & Cons

With leasing, the biggest perk that most stylists find is they are their own boss! When you lease, you take on every single responsibility of your business without having to own a full multi-chair salon and have employees. You cover all expenses from the color products you use down to your tools, plus weekly or Monthly rent. Another perk with this is you get to choose your own color line and products that you want to use on your clients and get to decide which products you have behind your chair! You also get to structure your service menu to include everything you want to specialize in and say goodbye to any unwanted services you aren't passionate about! Probably the biggest upside to leasing is getting to decide the hours/days you work! Now some cons about leasing. When you are your own boss and run your own business, that comes with multiple jobs outside of being a hairstylist. You have to maintain your salon space, cover all expenses from the products you use, software you use, purchase supplies for your upcoming appointments, you are responsible for not only your end-of-year taxes but you also owe an additional 15% self-employment tax. This is normally covered by an employer, but as a business owner, it's on you! Unfortunately, it's also very common for booth renters to operate illegally . Yes, you heard that right. If you are paid a commission, or even worse paying a commission while a 1099 booth renter, that is an illegal business structure. The owner is essentially dodging the self-employment tax, and taking their cut tax-free while you are stuck with the bill. If you pay a 50% commission to your landlord, they get to keep that and pay income tax on it, but you have to pay income tax and self-employment tax on your "half". Leaving you with best case 30-35%. With leasing, you are the one responsible for how much money you make every week, and if you don't monitor closely you can be unprofitable very easily! When you see big numbers coming in, you feel like you are making lots of money. You don't realize that your bills are just as high! In general salons operate at a 10% profit margin. If you are truly exceptional, you can push this higher to ~25%. If you aren't monitoring, you can easily spend more than you take in, and are essentially borrowing money from your business to pay your personal bills. If you don't schedule clients and work a specific amount of hours, that will reflect in your numbers! The reality is you end up being your own advertiser, scheduler, customer service, accounting, tax prep, inventory manager, buyer and everything other tasks to support your business in addition to taking clients! All of this might not be a downside to some stylists, but not everyone is looking to take on that responsibility outside of the salon, which is okay! Many artists want to focus on their art and building relationships with their clients. While leasing can be a great choice for many stylists, if your goal is to come to work and take clients behind the chair, make competitive pay, and be a part of a team take a look into a commission salon!

Commission Pros & Cons

Working in a commission-based salon can be one of the best business choices you make in your career! There are many different commission structures out in the industry which makes it easier to narrow down your search when finding your salon home outside of school! The basic understanding of what a commission salon is is a business run by an owner(s) who employ other stylists in the industry to work alongside and help create a uniform branded salon environment! Some of the many perks of working at a commission salon is that all products are provided for you! That's right, everything down to the bowls you mix your color in. No need to worry about replacing any products that you finish; the salon has you covered!

Another perk is you don't have to be the only one advertising to find clients to fill your schedule . Most commission salons have a business phone that clients can call in requesting an appointment with you, which means no late-night conversations on social media platforms trying to maximize your schedule! You get to come to work, do what you love, and go home and relax knowing you can return to work the next day and have a full schedule! The last of many perks that I am going to talk about is you get to work in a team-oriented salon with coworkers who love working together! From gaining new work relationships to collaborating on a fun project with another coworker, you get to enjoy your time at work engaging with everyone, and share in each other's passion! With all the perks of working at a commission salon, there are of course some potential downsides that certain stylists might find! With having full advantage to the color and products the salon provides, if you want to try out any new products that your salon doesn't carry, you are responsible for purchasing that product unless your salon owner agrees to try it out. Commission salons have many perks , including beverages, snacks, free marketing, salon incentives, bonuses, product commissions and even taking reprieve of having a salon manager to handle client escalations. Another potential disadvantage to commission salons is that you don't take home everything you make from your services. With this, many new stylists can become a little confused with this type of structure and how it reflects in their paycheck, but it's actually very similar to how much money you make as a leasing stylist! On average booth renters make about 5% more than a commission stylist annually. Not at Mykala and Co! At our salon our stylists benefit from a minimum 30% commission with a tiered scale up to 70%! When you are a commission stylist, the salon you work for pays for everything that you use, but also pays for everything on the back end of the business that you would end up needing to take care of yourself as a leasing stylists! From employer taxes, maintaining a full color and product back bar, stocking products on the shelf, paying insurance, utilities, advertising and legal costs, maintaining the salon you work in, your salon takes care of so many things to keep the business and yourself covered! A percentage of your earnings goes towards these costs to ensure you don't need to worry about anything while you are doing what you love! At the end of the day, leasing stylists are still responsible for all of these costs as well, they are just the only ones having to keep track of these things instead of having someone to take care of it for them!

In our industry, the options are endless, and at the end of the day, there is not one right choice nor is there a wrong choice! Having the knowledge of what each job title entails is the first thing you should look into when you are looking at salons! Of course, there is so much more that goes into commission and leasing salons, and there truly isn't a right or wrong choice when it comes to choosing the best option for you! At the end of the day, this industry has many routes you can choose from and all of them have their own perks that can mirror what kind of business you want to emulate!

At our salon, we have created an in-depth Assistant Program that helps guide any new stylists with a road map to follow!

Ultimate guide for sleeping with hair Extensions!

Fri, 12 May 2023 15:09:00 GMT

This one is for all my extension wearers out there! One of the most vital steps in keeping the integrity of your extensions is your at home care, but more specifically how you are prepping your hair before you go to sleep at night! Caring for your extensions before you check out for the night not only helps the integrity of your extensions, but can vastly help prolong your curls until your next wash day! (who doesn't want their curls to last as long as possible?!)

When we break down what the most important tips are in your bedtime routine for your extensions, we are looking at pretty easy steps to follow and incorporate into that relaxing routine!

Get A Silk Pillowcase!

This is probably one of the most important tips we will talk about today! While you are sleeping, you are subconsciously rolling around tossing and turning, in turn causing friction to your hair. Purchasing a silk pillow case and sleeping with it every night can help minimize any damage caused from friction and help your wefts stay in place where they are meant to lay naturally and avoid matting! There is nothing scarier than waking up and having a huge rats nest in your hair and not being able to remove it which turns into a spontaneous trip to your hairstylist for help! We want to ensure the health of your extensions and natural hair, so we highly recommend this tip! We sell amazing pillowcases in salon at Mykala and Co!

Sleep in a Protective Style!

As I mentioned above, while you are sleeping you are causing the most friction on your extensions! Sleeping in a proactive style like a low braid or a low ponytail will help keep the cuticle of your extensions laying in the direction it is meant to and will help extend your style overnight so you can wake up, take your protective style out and hit the road in record time! If you find yourself sleeping with your hair down at night, you might start to experience the integrity of your extensions are vastly different from when your stylist first installed them. They can lose their shine, smoothness and ever cause a loss of density which will make your hair feel thinner! Take this easy step at night and watch your investment last!

Oil, Oil, Oil!!

We can't express this one enough; make sure you are applying salon-quality hair oil on your extensions before going to sleep! We recommend oiling your extensions once in the morning and once before sleep, but your nighttime application is highly important! Hydration is the number one factor when it comes to the strength of your extensions. If you are skipping the oil all together, you will quickly see more split ends and dryness on your extensions, causing a dull and brittle look that no one wants! Just a little bit of oil twice a day will ensure the shine and fullness every extension user is after! (Not to mention it is great for your natural hair as well!)

Get to Brushing!

This last tip is probably a no-brainer, right? Brushing your hair is something so easy that you've been doing all your life! Something that many people new to extensions don't realize is you can't brush your hair like you've been used to doing before getting extensions. Now that you have what is technically a foreign object in your hair, you have to gently navigate around them to minimize discomfort and harm to your extensions! Going too long in between brushing your hair can start to cause matting at the base of your weft, and this can also be caused by improper brushing! When brushing your extensions, place a hand at the top of your weft by your scalp and gently start brushing from the very ends of your hair and work your way up to your end! If you do encounter a larger tangle that your brush can't work through, grab your handy detangler (we recommend 7 Seconds Detangler by Unite) and spray a little bit directly on the tangle and finger comb it out. This minimizes tension to your wefts and eliminates any breakage that could come from just your brush! Make sure to thoroughly brush your hair before bed before putting it up for the night and you will see incredible results!
