Pure Essence Organic Salon Review

Why go to an Organic Salon?


When you go to a regular hair salon, the stylist is applying dangerous and carcinogenic chemicals onto your head. Also, the toxins that are released into the air damage the lungs of your hair stylist and yourself.  The chemicals in hair colors are consistently tied to breast cancer and other diseases.


I have been looking for an organic salon and finally found one.

One of the biggest things I wanted in an Organic Salon was hair color that was organic.  I always loved getting my hair color done, but hated the smell and knew that the chemicals in it was only doing more damage to my hair, scalp and lungs.   The color that Pure Essence uses is Organic Salon Systems color.  You can learn more about it here:  www.organicsalonsystems.com


Here is a little explanation from Pure Essence February Newsletter on why you should use organic color:

WHY USE ORGANIC COLOR?

With all of the health problems we face in the 21st century, isn't it about time to examine what we use on our hair and scalp?  Most hair color products today contain harmful ingredients, the main one being AMMONIA.  Ammonia is a harsh chemical used in the productions of explosives, fertilizers, household cleaners, and plastics.  When used in hair color, it damages your hair shaft, stripping it of amino acids called "Tyrosine" which is vital to maintain the health and integrity of your hair.  Ammonia is known to cause mild to severe side effects and allergic reactions such as rashes, headaches, stinging eyes, upper respiratory distress, eczema, and pulmonary edema.  

Here are the top 10 reasons why you should consider choosing Organic Color Systems:

1. It's 100% Ammonia and Resorcinal Free.

2. They use certified organic ingredients.

3. This color line maintains the integrity of your hair.

4. It contains the lowest percentage of ppd's possible.

5. It also contains the lowest percentage of Ethanolamine.

6. This color contains Vitamin C and Vitamin E to produce longer-lasting color results.

7. It also contains Coconut, Wheat Protein and Fruit extracts for Protection.

8. It does NOT contain parabens, plastics or sulphates.

9. Organic Color Systems is certified Animal cruelty-free.

10. They are also certified vegan by P.E.T.A.

If you live near Leola, PA I definitely recommend checking out Pure Essence Salon!  Tina the owner, Jessica, my stylist, and Jen, the other stylist, are fantastic ladies!  It's always a fun experience and they are always learning new techniques that they love sharing with their customers.


Stay tuned for a review on their Keragreen Treatments that I will be getting done in two weeks as a part of a training class that Pure Essence stylists are going to. :-)  


Here is a brief excerpt about Keragreen Treatments:


Keragreen is an innovative keratin treament that is safe, gentle and formaldehyde free.  It is a smoothing treatment, so unlike some of the popular keratin straightening treatments, so it does not straighten hair.  It makes it the perfect treatment for those who love their curls, or waves, but hate how hard it is to manage their hair.  It will eliminate the frizz, and leave their curls soft, frizz-free, and shiny.  If your hair is fairly straight, it will also be a good treatment for you, as it creates a sleek, silky look.  In addition to smoothing, it is a treatment that will actually improve the way your hair feels, and rebuilds from the inside out.  This service can be done as often as once a month, and typically lasts up to 3 or 4 months, if properly maintained.  We also offer shampoo, conditioner, and styling aids, made specifically for those who have had the treatment done.  It will maintain the integrity of the keratin, and continue to rebuild and strengthen your hair.



This post is in no way a paid advertisement.  I am posting this as my own opinion on the salon.
