Newsletter - August 2010

What a Summer!  The air conditioner is finally working!  Thank you for your patience as we dealt with many hot days in the salon.

The last details of the salon’s makeover have been completed and we have been able to turn our attention to new staff and product lines.

Staff Updates

Michael, Andrew, Reagan and Melanie welcome Jolaina to the Vespa team. Jolaina is our newest Junior Stylist who completed her training through the Algonquin College apprenticeship program. We are enjoying having her here!

Note that Reagan will be working only Fridays and Saturdays during the Summer. She will increase her hours in September.

Product Features

We have introduced Keratin Complex Smoothing Therapy, a demi-permanent straightening product. Its effects last three to five months, and then hair returns to its normal state with no damage. Learn more at www.keratincomplex.com/smoothing-therapy.htm  

Did You Know?

We recycle everything we can at Vespa Hair Design – like the foil used when applying some colour treatments. It can be recycled just like a soda pop can.

We are a participating salon in the Locks of Love initiative, which donates human hair to create high-quality hair prosthetics for children suffering from hair loss. With your help, we have donated more than 55 packages of hair to the program. Learn more at: www.vespahairdesign.com/services_lol.php

Tax Update

The combined HST, which came into effect on July 1st, is now applied to all of our services (an extra 8%). There is no change to the tax on products, which have always been subject to both federal and provincial sales taxes.

Scent Free

We would like to inform you that our staff are reducing our scents.  Next to deodorant we will not be putting additional scents on ourselves.

 We wish you the best for an enjoyable Summer and look forward to serving you again soon!

Sincerely,

Michael, Andrew, Reagan, Melanie and Jolaina
