The Charles Penzone Salons were proud to be a sponsor again for the Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure in Columbus! On Saturday, May 18, many team members from The Charles Penzone Salons volunteered their time and talent at the event and some even ran in the race!

                    

The Charles Penzone Salons booth in the Expo area was very popular. Our hair professionals used Color.Bugs to put pink streaks in everyone’s hair. The attendees loved it- especially the kids! We also handed out nail files and mints, and even had a gift card giveaway. Congratulations to our gift card winner, Catrina Kelley!

               

Several of our nail and massage professionals were in Survivorpalooza doing what they do best- pampering! Mini manicures and chair massages were just what these survivors needed. Our professionals were so inspired by the strong and courageous people they met. It was a fantastic day filled with encouragement and hope that a cure will soon be found. We were so happy that we could help make this day even more special for the survivors and their families. To view more pictures from the event, check out our Facebook album.

       

Thank you to our booth volunteers: Sue, Katherine, Lila, Carson & Rhaya
Thank you to our nail professionals: Zeta, Willow, Nikki and Elle
Thank you to our massage professionals: Mary, Dan and Julie

We’re sure you’ve heard of the six different Charles Penzone Salons in Columbus that include three Grand Salons, two MAX The Salons and Q Salon, but did you know there’s another Charles Penzone Salon in town you may not have heard of yet?

The Charles Penzone Salons are incredibly proud to be a sponsor of Junior Achievement BizTown in Central Ohio. This is a wonderful program that provides students with a realistic opportunity to experience how basic economic concepts are used in the real world. The program simulates an actual town, in which students operate the businesses, including retail stores, manufacturing shops, media outlets, City Hall and - a Charles Penzone Salon!



Our amazing facilities team helped build a bright and colorful salon in the JA BizTown building, complete with all of the supplies the students need to run a successful salon (except the scissors of course- no real haircuts at this one!) On May 6, 2013 Debra and Charles Penzone had the chance to visit JA BizTown while students from New Albany were there! They interacted with the kids and Mr. Penzone even gave all of the JA BizTown salon team members a bonus, which they were happy about!



JA Biztown teaches students about business, entrepreneurship and financial responsibility. It allows students to actually experience the real world before being thrust into it. The Charles Penzone Salons are so happy to contribute to such a wonderful cause, and we can’t wait to see the great business owners that will undoubtedly come out of this program!

What is SuperSilk?
SuperSilk is the product that will change the way you think about your unruly, hard to manage hair. This breakthrough technology is a safe way to manage texture by smoothing the hair cuticle, enhancing shine and softness, taming frizz, improving control while conditioning the hair. Most importantly SuperSilk is 100% Formaldehyde FREE. Please note, SuperSilk is not a relaxer or Keratin treatment.

Who should have a SuperSilk treatment?
This breakthrough technology is so well design that it works on ALL hair types. SuperSilk’s Nano Silk Complex will benefit anyone with bleached hair, colored hair, under-nourished hair, over-styled hair, or simply natural textured hair.

How does it work?
SuperSilk is far deeper than what's placed on the surface of the hair strand. This formula uses a breakthrough technology to restructure hair with Nano Silk Complex. The performance of Nano Silk Complex is proven to be stronger and more durable than Keratin formulas. Because this product is not a relaxer, SuperSilk is designed as a temporary resolution to unruly locks. SuperSilk will significantly increase the manageability of your hair for 8 to 12 weeks when the at home hair care is properly followed after having the service.

So whether your hair has a natural unruly texture or has been compromised in one way or another, SuperSilk is the way to shiny, easy to manage, stronger, silky hair. Book a consultation today to learn more information!
 

Spring has officially begun and the season’s new trends are in full motion! From the grunge/edgy styles, to natural parts, to matte textures- this spring has been dubbed the “off-duty/on-duty” hair season. The great thing about this season is that you can change things up.  One day, your look can be effortless and simple.  The next, you can play up your style with braids, stylish blowouts and accessories.  Same goes with makeup!  A fresh, flawless face is the first step, then bold brows, eyes and lips will help you be trend-on.  Keep on reading to get all the ideas you’ll need to feel fabulous this Spring!


HAIR TRENDS SPRING 2013



1) MESSY WAVES (THE MINIMAL-EFFORT LOOK)
This season is all about on-the-go, minimal effort, low maintenance looks! OK, but in reality creating the look does require SOME effort and great products! Apply Philip Pelusi Liquid Mousse or Bamboo Whipped Mousse to damp hair and run it through with your fingers. Add a little Bamboo Boho Waves to finish your look.

 








2) THE UPDO
Updo hairstyles have an easy-going feel to them. From the runway to Hollywood, low knots, looped/low ponytails and simple braids/twists are making their debut. To master these looks, blow-dry your hair straight with a cocktail made of L’anza Polyester and L’anza Smoothing Balm or Bamboo Brilliance Cream. Create a clean center part if you prefer and secure your hair into a firm ponytail at the nape, spritzing with a shine mist. From there, you can wrap the tail into any number of looks—a loop with the ends pointing up or tucked under, a round ballet bun, or the classic double knot—sealed with a shot of anti-frizz spray.  Too complicated to pull off on your own?  No worries, come see us!  (That's what we're here for!)



       
  


3) BANGS/FRINGE
A good fringe is never out of fashion. Faux fringes and super-short styles are what you’re going to see a lot of this spring and summer.

 













4) PIXIES
The pixie crop has never been more feminine. Wear yours long and soft or gorgeous choppy crops for some spring-time trend-led inspiration. For something a little more fashion-forward, sweep your grown-out crop to one side leaving plenty of volume at the roots with Bamboo 48 Hour Root Lifter or L’anza Root Effects and enhance your brows for a bold look.
 









5) BLOW OUTS
But 2013 spring and summer isn’t all about messy waves and low-slung ponytails – there’s always room for an ultra-glam blow-dry while curling the ends of your hair under for a glossy, expensive look. You can order this quick-and-easy service off of our Express Menu at any of The Charles Penzone Salons.

   











6) BRAIDS/TWISTS
This year’s styles are all about being creative. Opt for a twist, a fishtail braid or even a twisted braid to style up a lazy hair day.
 















7) COLOR
Color this season is either soft, natural and low-maintenance such as golden blondes and browns with ombre and reverse ombre- or even just a few peek-a-boo highlights. You’ll also see some wild sassy colors such as stripes of bold pinks, purples and blues or even full pastel pink or full purple color.
 











8) ACCESSORIES
Nothing adds an extra spring/summer twist to your hairstyle like a pretty hair accessory. A bold and colorful headband will make a messy up-do appear more polished or a classic printed headscarf will add a retro twist. A strong golden band will add glamour to a simple down-do- and who doesn’t love a little glamour?  Be sure to check out our new line of accessories now available at The Grand Salon at Polaris Parkway!





MAKEUP TRENDS SPRING 2013





1)  STRONG BEAUTIFUL BROWS
Brows frame your face and complete any look! (Our recommended products: Youngblood Mineral Cosmetics brow palette and concealer.)  













2)  BOLD LIPS!
Bold lips are always in and have definitely been a popular trend on the runways! The bold hues accentuates the lips and makes them look bigger and fuller! (Our recommended products: Youngblood Lipsticks in Bistro, Vixen and Tangelo)












3)  EYELINER
From black to teal, eyeliner has become the newfound essential! It's fun to play with different colors to make your eyes pop! There are many looks that you can achieve with our Youngblood gel liner! From classic winged liner to quick smokey eyes softly smudged. What's super HOT for Spring '13 is blue liner! Do a thin streak of teal liner not too extreme for everyday wear! Try Youngblood's spring gel liner in Lagoon! A beautiful teal gel liner with specks of gold! Very trendy!










4)  FRESH, FLAWLESS SKIN
Fresh, natural skin provides the perfect backdrop for this season’s best looks! (Our recommended products: Youngblood's Loose Mineral Foundation or Liquid Foundation.)
