Opt-OUT of Nasty Chemicals With Kasia's Vegan Straightening System Got Frizz? Get smooth, silky hair that will last for months! Beautiful Health Benefits Zerran RealLisse is a Vegan Hair Treatment that differs from ANY other market on the market with zero harsh chemicals. It's natural, fume-free and safe for all women, including pregnant women. Many women have looked for an alternative from the Brazilian Blowout. Zerranis the first 100 percent vegan, botanically based, paraben-free and formaldehyde-free hair smoothing treatment on the market. Before Photo   As you can see Sharon has a strong texture to her hair, and is curly, but frizzy. Sharon will have more time for her children in the morning while her blow drying time will be cut down immensely and hair left in incredible shape. Before treatment  All natural and perfect for pregnant women, or those looking to get an alternative from the Brazilian Blowout. The Process  First, we washed Sharon's hair with shampoo and carefully applied the treatment on small sections of her hair.  Next the hair is dried and the same small sections are flat ironed. The flat iron traps the moisture and creates a smooth glossy finish. The process is hassle and fume-free from start to finish and only takes two hours. Sharon was thrilled with the results! After treatment Sharon is advised to let the treatment "cure," waiting at  least two to three days before washing. All clients receive a Zerran's shampoo/conditioner to help retain the results. With good home care, this keratin alternative can last up to 4 months. How the Ingredients Deck Up   Don't expect to find hard-to-read ingredients or animal products in Zerran's recipe. The 100% vegan formulation contains plant proteins to relax curls and tame frizzy hair, with no keratin or other animal products involved.

Q & A : Is Kasia Hair Color void of the 22 EU banned chemicals?

Informed Beauty Hair Color Inquiry from a Kasia Client, thank you for your question!

Question:

Curious about the hair color (both permanent and semi-permanent) used at your salon. I recently came across an article listing the 22 chemicals Europe has banned from their hair color products. I know you use ammonia-free, however, I'm curious if your products contain any of the banned chemicals below:

* 6-Methoxy-2,3-Pyridinediamine and its HCl salt

* 2,3-Naphthalenediol

* 2,4-Diaminodiphenylamine

* 2,6-Bis(2-Hydroxyethoxy)-3,5-

Pyridinediamine * 2-Methoxymethyl-p-Aminophenol * 4,5-Diamino-1-Methylpyrazole and its HCl salt * 4,5-Diamino-1-((4-Chlorophenyl)Methyl)-1H-Pyrazole Sulfate * 4-Chloro-2-Aminophenol * 4-Hydroxyindole * 4-Methoxytoluene-2,5-Diamine and its HCl salt * 5-Amino-4-Fluoro-2-Methylphenol Sulfate * N,N-Diethyl-m-Aminophenol * N,N-Dimethyl-2,6-Pyridinediamine and its HCl salt * N-Cyclopentyl-m-Aminophenol * N-(2-Methoxyethyl)-p-phenylenediamine and its HCl salt * 2,4-Diamino-5-methylphenetol and its HCl salt Thank You, Amanda

Answer:

Teinture does not contain any of the listed chemicals to be banned in the new EU standard. The product has been marketed in some of the straightest regulated markets in the world in terms of safety, including the EU and Canada.

Hair Loss ... Not Always Genetic

Hey there Informed Beauties!  If there is one consistent and growing conundrum out there, it's the complex topic of hair loss.  I see it every day in my salon chair, so let's shed some light on this problem that truly can be overcome with dedication and  diligence! Common Hair Loss Question:

"I went to a dermatologist who told me I had female pattern baldness and that there was nothing I could do other than use Rogaine twice a day. Is this my only option?"

I have shared frustrations with many worried woman and the topic of hair loss in my salon chair.  Those of my clients that have sought a "whole--istic" approach have seen great results. We've been able to set them up with Functional Medicine testing, great hair products, and supplemental nutritional products to help from the inside- out.

I also add that there are a small percentage of clients that simply have their genetic DNA going against them.  With that said, the  majority of women presenting patterned hair thinning show (in my opinion),  an acquired pattern alopecia due to the cascading affects metabolic/hormonal disturbance within a number of body systems.

This is caused by a few things, including  low iron, low thyroid, not enough protein, stress which causes low thyroid, and autoimmune disease, and medications.

Suggested Steps to re-growth.......

1. Knowing I need to practice what I preach.... Informed Beaute's need to truly be pro-active in de-stressing your life.  Make those around you aware of this!
2. Eat more protein.  As women age, we loose metabolic function, hormones go on default, etc. Unless one receives complete chains of amino acids for the body to quick use and uptake......the lethargy continues stealing from areas needed to function healthy hormones, energy, memory, etc.
3. Take a multivitamin and other supportive supplements.  To mention:  I love Premier Research Labs:  B Complex, Adaptogens, Calcium/Magnesium, Vitamin D, Minerals/Pink Salt, digestive enzymes and HCL.  I've seen this "package" make strides for clients.
4. Get your hormones tested!  All women young and old need a baseline.
5. Make sure your TSH is below 2.0 
6. Make sure your ferritin is between 40 and 70.Lifestyle and Liver HealthAn ATP-deprived liver is ‘sluggish’ & readily overloaded when a woman is taking hormone therapy (contraceptive or HRT medication), consumes some daily alcohol, lack of nutrition. These combined substances occupy the total capacityof the liver’s Phase I detoxification pathway, & the liver’s ability to process other substances such as the body’s own hormone by-products or other toxins is progressively impaired – ultimately resulting hormonal disturbance & cellular toxicity.Successfully treating women for hair loss problems requires careful review of their medical, nutritional, hormonal & lifestyle history undertaken in an organized & sequential way. This provides  a clearer representation of what other areas are influencing the primary problem, & treating the causeof the condition rather than just the symptoms can then be undertaken.NOTE!  The discipline is important because it truly takes time to reverse hair loss and in most cases can take up to 6 months.   May you see the value of your Beautiful Health........and enjoy those new baby hairs on the come back!   Dont give up.

Love and Support......   Kassie

Hottest Spring Tips ... the new Ombre Style

The colored ombre is a fun and vibrant way to add a pop to your style!

Kasia Organic Salon was the first salon in MSP to bring in feather extensions... and we now bring you the next fresh spring trend of color tipping with extensions!

The extensions (from platinum seamless) are the best on the market.  They last for up to 3 months, can be colored around, and truly are "seamless"... you'll hardly know they're in!

“This new sassy color extension/tipping trend is an extension of the ombre looks we’ve been seeing since early winter.

Although Kasia Organic Salon doesnt "opt to" bleach and permanently color die your hair to a pretty blue,   we do suggest temporarily putting in some damage free and short term option for wearing a fresh look  to make your hair pop.

Kate loving her new quick addition to make her color feel fresh with a little pizazz!

"Yessss ladies, she did work at the MN Capital and currently works in a professional office."  Spice it up for Spring no matter your age or profession!

Please call Kasia Salon today!   612 824 7611   Not all colors are available, please call to ask which colors we currently have.

Nutrition that Works & your Beautiful Health!

Many would agree, that each of us individually or someone that we know suffers from discomfort in their health and well-being.   Just one example of this is the drastic growth of intenstinal issues.

In fact, in recent conversations with my medical community clients at Kasia Salon, there has been comments as strong as this is the most ignored epidemic and intenstinal issues are the root of many illnesses evolving today.

As busy as our team and myself have been behind the chair, I have enjoyed taking some time diving back into the foundations of Functional Medicine.

I love that our guests at Kasia receive not only hair and skin health support, but a WHOLE health approach and adding the benefits of "NUTRITION THAT REALLY WORKS!"

Please take the time to read more about the partnership with the cleanest nutrition on the market (Premier Research Labs) and offerings at Kasia Organic Salon and your Beautiful Health.

Kassandra is now trained in muscle testing to better understand your minor or major gaps to a more optimal -everday.  Only YOU have the power to put a stop to the chance of being an epidemic.

Petroleum Byproducts and the effects on your skin!

Petroleum, also known as “petroleum jelly”, which is the only ingredient in the popular brand Vaseline, and mineral oil also commonly known as “baby oil”, are common ingredients in lotions, skin creams, cosmetics and hair care products.  Its used in skin care products because its a inexpensive oil that lubricates the skin; supposedly to moisturize, soften and protect the skin from the elements.  In hair care products, the oil is used as a moisturizer and barrier that repels water and humidity to prevent frizz and dryness. Its also used with pressing combs, flat and curling irons to protect from heat damage caused by these tools.   Its inexpensive with an unlimited shelf life so its appealing for cosmetic, hair and skin care manufacturers.  Even some high-end lines use petroleum and/or mineral oil in their products. In a few luxury department stores I have shopped at,  I’ve found that a lot of the lines they carry use petroleum in their products -- despite the tipple digit prices for a lot of their items.Mineral oil is liquid petroleum which is a by-product in the distillation of petroleum to produce gasoline. Propylene glycol is often a derivative of petroleum (though it can come from a vegetable source as well).

The problem with petroleum products, instead of moisturizing, it coats the skin and clog the pores not letting in actual moisture and toxins out through the skin. The skin may feel smooth to the touch, but its actually coated with the oil.  As a result, it can cause acne, dryness, dandruff and other skin irritations.

Petroleum and Cancer

“Petrolatum -- Impurities in Petroleum Jelly or commonly known as Vaseline, under suspicion as a carcinogen in Breast Cancer -- Petrolatum Banned in products in the EU -- Long term damage to health becoming evident -- side effects from impurities in the manufacturing process implicated in causing cancer”

Remember, the skin absorbs 60% of all chemicals we use on our skin and hair.”   

Other names for mineral oil and petroleum:

• Baby Oil
• Vaseline (brand name)
• Liquid paraffin
• Mineral Seal Oil

What should you use?

Always read labels when you’re shopping for bath, body, baby and hair products. Look for products that contains natural vegetable, plant, seed and nut oils such as shea butter, olive oil, jojoba oil, and coconut oil.
