The Beginners Guide to Voluminous Hair

Say “see ya” to tired tresses and “hello” to hair full of body and life. Whether you have the straightest strands or wispy waves, try these foolproof great hairstyles.

1. Cut

Our team will create a customized look, inspired to compliment your features and fit your lifestyle. All our haircuts include a complimentary stress-relieving head, neck and shoulder massage, hand massage, makeup finishing touch or a facial refresh for our male guests.

2. Color

Today’s color trends are as varied and interesting as you are. We can create whatever color you desire! Perhaps you’d like a trendy and vibrant high fashion color or would like to try the latest balayage technique? Maybe, it’s highlights, lowlights or an ombre. How about gray coverage? Our stylists will work with you to determine your hair color needs based on what you like, what looks great on you and how you care for your hair.

3. Styling

We perfect your preferred style, whether you’re after sleek, straight locks or dressed-up tresses.
Blowdry style – includes shampoo
Special occasion styling – formal styling, up-do’s, braids, etc., shampoo not included

4. Texturizing

A basic layered haircut from collar length and mid-ear or shorter that does not include texturizing and/or concave layering techniques. All our haircuts include a complimentary stress-relieving head, neck and shoulder massage, hand massage, makeup finishing touch or a facial refresh for our male guests.

5. Conditioning Treatments

Our Conditioning Treatments specialists stay in the forefront with continued education in the latest conditioning techniques. Our conditioning services include a massage and a makeup touch-up. Prices may vary based on your Stylist’s experience and advanced education, as well as your hair condition and quantity. Please consult with a service team member for more information.

6. Heat therapy

Heat therapy increases the flow of oxygen and nutrients to sore muscles while suppressing the pain signals being sent to your brain. Apply some form of heat – hot water bottle, heating pad, or a hot towel – to sore areas.

7. MakeUp

One or more colors are woven throughout varying sections of the hair depending on the desired look. This process allows you to have natural looking highlights, contrasting lowlights or any look you may desire.

8. Face

Just like the rest of the body, the face has a large number of muscles that can get tight and hold onto stress. In addition, the skin on the face and neck is very delicate and absorbent and therefore it is extremely important to use non-toxic facial products that promote healing and reduce the toxic burden on the body.

9. Waxing

A basic layered haircut from collar length and mid-ear or shorter that does not include texturizing and/or concave layering techniques.

10. Change it

Today’s color trends are as varied and interesting as you are. At Primavera, we can create whatever color you desire! Perhaps you’d like a trendy and vibrant high fashion color or would like to try the latest balayage technique? Maybe, it’s highlights, lowlights or an ombre. How about gray coverage? Our stylists will work with you to determine your hair color needs based on what you like, what looks great on you and how you care for your hair.

Relaxation of all body

Salt has been used for centuries to cure a variety of ailments dating back to ancient times.

This is not a coincidence; salt is one of the most well known natural healing agents on the planet. Each session is 45 minutes and includes a warm neck wrap and blanket to further improve relaxation. While reclining in our zero gravity chairs a special machine called a “halogenerator” crushes up pure pharmaceutical grade salt and blows it into the air. The microscopic particles are able to get deep into the lungs to break up mucous, clear out allergens, and calm inflammation. The salt is also very beneficial to the skin and can help psoriasis and eczema too. Salt is also a natural nervous system relaxer so you will feel a sense of calm that is very unique. Our room can fit up to 4 people per session.
