Like many teen Chino Hills residents, Alyssa's freshman year is quite busy with a barrage of homework, sports and other extracurricular activities she's involved herself with. One of the activities she doesn't enjoy is her everyday regiment of straightening her hair. She wakes up an hour earlier each day during the school year just to flat iron her naturally wavy hair. It's a look she committed herself to when she started middle school and she's paid the early morning price ever since. Alyssa's mom Sonia, a busy working woman herself, knows the luxury of having more time in the day to get things done. Sonia decided to help her daughter out by giving her some precious sleep in time. She did it by taking Alyssa to The Den Salon in Chino Hills for a Brazilian Blowout.
"She works very hard in school, has good grades and still balances sports and school club activities so I know she can use that extra 40 minutes of sleep in the morning and The Brazilian Blowout gives her that extra time!" Sonia says.
The Brazilian Blowout is the hottest hair craze in salons right now. It is a hair straightening system that once applied lasts three to four months.
"We brought the Brazilian Blowout to Chino Hills because our clients were demanding it" says The Den Salon owner Sophia Licon.
According to Sophia, the acai-berry-infused, Brazilian Keratin treatment dramatically reduces the time spent on grooming the hair.
"It's definitely for the thicker, hard to manage, frizzy curl" says Sophia.
"It does a lot more than just make your hair look pretty. It really turns it into healthier, much more beautiful, shiny hair." she said.
The entire Brazilian Blowout treatment takes about 1 to 1.5 hours, depending on the length of the hair. Brazilian Blowout uses a super-nutirient complex and polymer system and works by improving the condition of the hair by creating a protective protein layer around the hair shaft to eliminate frizz and smooth the cuticle of the hair.
A typical Brazilian Blowout session involves the following; First they give your hair multiple deep cleansing washes with the Brazilian Blowout Clarifying Shampoo which makes your hair squeaky clean. This deep cleansing with the Brazilian Blowout Clarifying Shampoo is key to the process because it allows the cuticles to absorb the Brazilian Blowout solution properly. With your hair towel dried they then section your hair from front to back and began applying the Brazilian Blowout solution. Next, the blow dryer is used to dry the product in until your hair is completely dry. Then, using a flat iron they smooth the hair.
The benefits of the Brazilian Blowout Hair Treatment is that it gives everyone the ability to have "wash and wear" hair, meaning now people have the freedom to enjoy activities they want without worrying that their hair may be wet and don't have to spend an hour re-doing their hair.
Alyssa's mom appreciates not only what the treatment does for her daughter's schedule but what The Den Salon does for its clients.
"I love treating my daughter to an experience at The Den Salon...it truly is a pampering experience, everyone is incredibly nice and the atmosphere really makes you feel like you're in a Beverly Hills Salon"
