Joico’s Clinícure Thinning Hair Solutions line offers salon clients ammunition against thinning hair and hair loss. We asked Brad O’Brien, Clinícure and Re:nu brand manager what salons need to know about this latest technology breakthrough.

Power jobs require power hair!
It’s been a busy fall and it doesn’t look like things are going to slow down anytime soon! Fall fashion is in full swing at the shops, warmer, darker hair color is reappearing and fresh cuts for the new season abound. Manufacturers have also been busy as of late. Here are a few of the interesting items that have come across my inbox in the past few weeks that you may want to check out to keep yourself on trend this season!?
If you follow our daily e-newsletters (sign up at modernsalon.com/newletters if you don’t!) you know I am in the midst of a very exciting time in my life—I’m getting married! You’ll also know that hairdressers in the Chicagoland area have been competing to do my wedding hair.
About 20 miles outside Minneapolis lies the city of Blaine, Minnesota. At first, it appears the same as any other far-flung Midwestern suburb. But then you stumble onto the Aveda campus and realize this is no ordinary place.
And so it begins—the hunt for the perfect wedding hair! Yesterday, I headed to the Ruby Room on Division Street in Chicago—what a cool spot!
I’m having a good hair day! When I wear my hair curly (its natural state), this doesn’t happen too often. It frizzes, expands, tangles and does everything else it’s not supposed to do.
In November, I am getting married! My fiancé and I are planning a traditional wedding -- big church, lots of guests, huge bridal party and a big bash at a downtown hotel afterwards.
So I just finished with Day 2 of Cosmoprof … whew! It’s been a whirlwind, to say the least. Last night was NAHA’s 20th anniversary and it was truly an amazing event. NAHA is always tons of fun, but this year they really outdid themselves. Previous winners graced the stage throughout the evening as well as hilarious clips from past NAHA events.
Getting ready for a show like Cosmoprof entails much more than just setting up appointments and booking flights and hotels. I also have to get pretty—it’s a hair show, after all!
True confession: I am a sucker for sweet stuff. When given the choice, I always pick waffles over omelets, cupcakes over chips and a hot fudge sundae over a cheese platter. This penchant for sugar doesn’t just apply to my taste buds, either. It also comes into play with scents.
The white glove. The red leather jacket. The over-gelled curls. Michael Jackson was definitely the Prince of Pop. But was he a style icon, too?
So you’ve all probably experienced a client who’s a salon hopper. She sees you one or two times and then is off to try a new place. She goes to that salon a couple times and then moves on to yet another salon.
