Joico–the professional hair care company long-recognized for its leadership in

technologically advanced hair repair—introduces the next generation in healthy

hair innovation. The new K-PAK RevitaLuxe Bio Advanced Restorative Treatment

actually repairs and restores years of damage instantly by reconstructing the hair

structure from the inside out. What’s more, it offers dramatic cumulative benefits, by

continuing to correct and protect strands with regular use. With its unique

combination of advanced damage repair plus superior moisture infusion, RevitaLuxe

instantly transforms overly-stressed and compromised strands into luxuriously soft,

strong and healthy hair.

RevitaLuxe’s Groundbreaking Technology

The RevitaLuxe Restorative Treatment features Joico’s new bio-advanced, patentpending,

Keratin Peptide Complex which actually mimics the natural hair repair

mechanism that exists deep within the cortex of each hair strand. This complex

features bio-mimetic peptides that actively target and rebuild weak, damaged and

broken areas on the hair, instantly strengthening and rejuvenating. Tests on actual

salon clients show that after just one use, hair contains four times as many healthy

keratin peptides as it did before application; and after three days of use, it contains

more than seven times as many peptides. This means that in addition to repairing

existing damage, RevitaLuxe continues repairing and it stands guard against future

damage from chemical, environmental and thermal stressors by creating a

“molecular bandage” on the hair surface. It also helps prevent premature colour

fading and maintains color luster.

In addition to Bio-Mimetic Peptides, RevitaLuxe contains these advanced and

luxurious ingredients:

• Bio-Mimetic Peptides – actively target and repair damage, address structural

damage and rejuvenate the intercellular hair matrix, and create a

“molecular bandage” to protect against future damage.

• Keratin Amino Acids–19 essential amino acids that restore hair’s moisture

balance to improve luster and elasticity.

• Jojoba Oil—this rich moisturizer penetrates deeply to soften and condition

hair as it promotes elasticity, shine, combability and manageability.

• Aloe Extract—a natural ingredient that provides additional, luxurious moisture.

Con’t…

At Home and in the Salon

As the newest addition to the Joico hair repair family, RevitaLuxe is ideal for use as a

home treatment with any Joico K-PAK Shampoo. It’s also an excellent in-salon, preor

post-chemical service treatment. Before a chemical service, it will restore hair to

its optimum condition in order to receive permanent haircolor. Afterward, it instantly

restores hair’s proper pH balance, strength and moisture.

RevitaLuxe is excellent for all hair types, including dry, damaged and colour-treated.

The new Joico K-Pak RevitaLuxe Bio-Advanced Restorative Treatment is available at

select salons nationwide for a retail price of $24.95 per 150ml bottle. For further

Luxury brand Moroccanoil® has created a new solution for those with fine, dry hair who traditionally shy away from deep conditioners, for fear of it weighing hair down. Moroccanoil® Weightless Hydrating Mask is a lightweight revival treatment for this hair type in need of extra conditioning. The rich and creamy formula deeply hydrates, moisturizes, and improves texture and manageability, while restoring elasticity and shine.

Both the Moroccanoil® Weightless Hydrating Mask (for fine, dry hair) and the Moroccanoil® Intense Hydrating Mask (for medium to thick, dry hair) can be used once or twice a week, as needed in place of a conditioner, to maintain healthy looking hair.

PROPER USE:

For best results, after shampooing, apply a generous amount of Moroccanoil® Weightless Hydrating Mask to towel-dried hair and comb through to distribute product evenly. Allow mask to absorb for 5–7 minutes. Rinse and style as usual, no conditioner is necessary. As with all Moroccanoil® masks, no heat is required.

Moroccanoil® Weightless Hydrating Mask ($39.00 MSRP) will be available along with the rest of the product line at fine salons and spas across Canada, beginning December 2011. For more information, please visit: www.Moroccanoil.com.

The seasons change and so should your makeup. Just like your clothing, your makeup needs to be winter ready. Here are some tips to help you make it through the winter season looking your best.

1 – Moisturize. No matter your skin type, during the winter months your skin needs to be nourished. Make sure you are using a product that gives you enough moisture and hydration during the day and night, and that is suitable for your skin type. This will give you a great base for foundation and any other makeup you will be putting on your skin.

2 – Lips need love too.  Just like the rest of your face your lips need to be moisturized and exfoliated. You can purchase a lip exfoliator or use a children’s toothbrush to slough off any dead skin, follow up with a moisturizing lip balm and you are ready to go.

3.-  Powder is not your friend. During the winter months try more cream or liquid based products. This goes for foundation and any bronzer or blush you may be wearing. There are tons of brands that have fantastic cream bronzers and blush: blend them into your cream or liquid foundation with an appropriate brush, and set everything for the day with a light translucent powder. The cold weather is drying enough, you don’t need to exaggerate the problem by using powders to suck out the last bit of moisture from your skin.

OSiS breaks the daily routine with innovative tools that let you create a multitude of individual styles. Now four new professional products give you everything you need to make your wildest creative dreams come true—at the salon or at home. Freshen up boring looks with lots of extra volume, add hold and definition to your styles, accentuate perfect shapes with a fascinating shine and bring those rebellious curls under control.

The new OSiS Refresh Dust, Fibre Light, and Pump My Curls will be available at Schwarzkopf Professional partner salons beginning July 2011 and Aqua Slide in November 2011.

OSiS Refresh Dust 100mL

No time to wash your hair? Refresh Dust is a fine sprayable powder from the ‘Texture’ category and

definitely first choice when a quick freshening up is needed. This bodyfying dry shampoo refreshes hair when there is no time to wash it, giving it incredible volume, lots of structure and light control. Even greasy hair looks fresh and bouncy again. The powder contains Oryza Sativa starch. This special rice starch is a powerful absorbent that frees hair from greasy rudiments. When applied to freshly washed hair, Refresh Dust facilitates styling while giving your hair extra body. Directions: Simply spray onto the hair root and gently massage in with your fingers. Leave to dry briefly, then brush out thoroughly to remove residue.

OSiS Fibre Light 50mL

Gentle yet powerful: Fibre Light is a texturizing fluid that gives hair a true Zero Gravity definition. Thanks to its light texture it retains a feathery feeling while ensuring suppleness and perfect style control. The Fibre Light formula evenly covers the hair with polymers, giving it invisible, elastic hold. Shea butter adds a smoothing effect and a silky soft finish. Directions: Blow dry hair with a paddle brush, then spread a small amount of Fibre Light between the palms of your hands and rub into full length of hair as well as tips. For more definition twist and structure single strands with your fingers.

OSiS Pump My Curls 120mL

Those rebellious curls stand no chance to misbehave. Pump My Curls is a curl spray that gives curly or wavy hair definition and hold while protecting it from frizzing all day long. Even thick unmanageable curls get lots of bounce and body. When applied, the innovative Pump My Curls formula turns the incredibly fine mist into a light emulsion that is easy to spread in the hair. Directions: Apply spray to the palms of your hands and massage into moist hair. Then twist single curls around fingers to achieve the desired look. To give curls a refresh, apply spray directly on dry hair and repeat as often as required. Perfect for curls that want to be tamed but not tied down.

OSiS Aqua Slide 100mL

Aqua Slide is a water infused pomade that ensures high shine gloss and great shape control. It gives you all the benefits of traditional pomade without any greasy or sticky feeling. The new water-oil base with watermint is unexpectedly light, while the pomade’s texture is perfectly aqueous. Aqua Slide gives your hair flexible definition, a perfect shape and a deep intensive shine without weighing it down. Directions: Simply spread in dry hair, then sweep back and style as desired. The product can easily be rinsed out again, leaving no residue.

Say HELLO to the brand new shades:

CND partnered with the Professional Beauty Federation of California to celebrate the 11^th annual “Welcome to Our World (W.O.W.)” event at the California State Legislature building on April 25th in Sacramento, CA. State legislators, regulators and policymakers were pampered with complimentary manicures and hand massages from CND Education Ambassadors along with other beauty services. The event showcased the $6 billion dollar beauty industry while informing and educating attendees about industry issues and advancements.

CND Nail Professionals were thrilled to participate in this political pampering event designed to raise awareness of the professional beauty industry and reflect on how the nail and beauty industry as a whole impacts women in today’s society. “On a regular basis, I get to make a difference in someone’s life. That’s pretty special,” says Jan Winn, CND Education Ambassador.

The Professional Beauty Federation is the united voice for California’s beauty industry, working to raise the level of awareness and the image of the cosmetology industry in the state. The W.O.W. event has been a relevant and critical awareness-building tool helping to educate state policymakers and regulators on current issues of concern to the beauty industry such as tax tip legislation in the state.

OPI Struts Runway with Top Designers, Including BCBGMAXAZRIA, MAX AZRIA, Hérve Léger, Rebecca Taylor, and Charlotte Ronson.

OPI hit the runway for New York Fashion Week/Fall 2011, kicking off with BCBGMAXAZRIA on Thursday, February 11. Models were manicured with OPI Nail Lacquer in Samoan Sand, a warm beige with pink undertones.
OPI appeared twice more for BCBG Max Azria Group, Inc., for MAX AZRIA on Saturday, February 13, and Hérve Léger on Tuesday, February 15. MAX AZRIA models wore Samoan Sand as well, while Hérve Léger featured the clay-hued San Tan-tonio.  Additionally, OPI was part of the BCBGMAXAZRIA Runway Survival Kits, given to models during casting and to enthusiastic fans at BCBG stores in Manhattan and online.
For the second year in a row, OPI walked the Fall runway with Rebecca Taylor on Friday, February 11. With models wearing two shades from the just-launched Texas Collection by OPI, Suzi Loves Cowboys provided a rich chocolate hue for fingertips, while San Tan-tonio gave a light honey color to toes.
Charlotte Ronson also selected OPI to complement her edgy clothing, with models wearing Samoan Sand during the show on Saturday, February 12. Front-row admirers included Olivia Munn, Sophia Bush, Mena Suvari, and Kim Kardashian.
“OPI was thrilled to walk the runway with so many fabulous designers for New York Fashion Week/Fall 2011,” said Suzi Weiss-Fischmann, OPI Executive VP & Artistic Director.  “As seen by the color selection and overwhelming preference for a neutral palette, nude nails will remain a huge trend throughout the rest of the year. Beige, tan, honey, chocolate, and even grey give fingertips a chic, minimalist look – matching fashions of the same hues or providing a base for brighter, patterned clothing.”
