Parched Hair? We Care.

Summer is a favorite for most people, especially us Michiganders who like to soak up as much of those golden rays as we can. Although, sunshine has its advantages is also has disadvantages. One of those disadvantages just happens to be drying out those pretty locks of hair you have. But as always, Capelli, as well as, Paul Mitchell has a solution! For centuries, Hawaiian natives have used the fragrant juice of the Awapuhi ginger plant to moisturize skin and hair. Research in New Zealand also shows that sheeps' wool derived from this location contains KeraTriplex proteins that restore hair. And since we all can't afford to move or vacation to Hawaii or New Zealand, Paul Mitchell was nice enough to share the wealth of this goodness with the rest of us :) This awesome combination of Awapuhi ginger and KeraTriplex proteins, creates Paul Mitchell's Awapuhi KeraTriplex, which is a conditioning treatment that restores and repairs disrupted bonds and hair cuticles,
 leaving your hair looking and feeling healthier. KeraTriplex treatments also protects color fading by 67%, prevents breakage up to 80% and adds shine up to 30%.

Right now Capelli is offering KeraTriplex Treatments for only $25 when added on to any other service. 

[Booking a KeraTriplex Treatment also helps our already amazing stylists be sent to VEGAS for Paul Mitchell Gathering in August]

  If your hair is starting to look and feel dried out from this harsh summer sun, do yourself a favor and make an appointment for a KeraTriplex Treatment, you won't be disappointed!

Airbrush or Nothin'

I have always been a skeptic of airbrush makeup but since I have worked at Capelli I have learned the many advantages. I decided to put the facts to test and try airbrush for myself. I had Kyle apply airbrush makeup at 9 am on Friday. I decided to take pictures to document how airbrush makeup actually wears. So the results are in:

Before with no makeup on my face

9:00 am AFTER :)

Before/After

3:00 pm (6 hours after)

9 pm (12 hours after)

This was after I ran through rain at Target.

Airbrush made it through! & had no streaking :)

 

Makeup done by: Kyle Ann

The Verdict:

Overall I loved airbrush makeup. It doesn't feel "cakey" like traditional makeup would especially with 24 hours of wear. I definitely recommend getting airbrush makeup if you have a wedding, prom, or any other event where you need to make your make up last its worth the investment. Capelli offers Airbrush Makeup for $55 so next time you have an event call us up! 248.841.1338

Facts About Airbrush:

What it is: A light-weight makeup applied through an air gun machine that produces a thin, even layer of makeup and creates a very matte finish. Finish can be thin or heavy depending on the application.

• When airbrush is rubbed it won't transfer. (ex. when hugging someone traditional makeup will rub off on their shoulder, airbrush won't)
• Airbrush will give you a porcelain doll-like finish.
• It has an 18+ hour wear.
• It is thin enough to make your skin feel that it can still breathe while being covered.
• It will not fade, melt, or rub off on clothes.
• It drys instantly with a matte finish and does not require any powder or re-applying.
• It can easily be washed away with soap and water.

Make Your Kissers Go From Boring to BAM!

If you are anything like me and stick to a natural look when I do my makeup I find that I get bored easily. So I started researching ways to kick it up a notch. One of the tips I wanted to try was a fuchsia lip! Scary! I wasn't brave enough to try it so I made two of our main ladies from Team Capelli put this to the test.

DON'T try this at home!

 

Recently while flipping through a magazine here at the salon I came across a big article about everything in life that you can DIY. Immediately, I got excited thinking about more tidbits of DIY knowledge. Overall the article was filled with great ideas from becoming your own personal trainer to how to upholster your own headboard. BUT, I disagreed on one part of the article:

 

How to Cut Your Own Bangs!

 

I instantly saw a flashback of my 4 year old self "cutting" bangs into my beautiful brown locks and hiding the hair behind my dresser while magically thinking my mom would never notice. Welp, She did. I have had countless friends try to "cut" their own bangs even if they just needed a trim and in reality they end up looking like this:

 

 

REALITY:

 

 

Ladies, Please learn from my mistakes and don't try cutting your own bangs. Even if you need a bang trim, leave it to the professionals. Believe me, stopping in at Capelli is a lot easier than walking around looking like a goofball for weeks waiting for your chopped bangs to grow out!

 

Let us help you out :)
