In addition to the VIP gift box, Olez will be offering innovative hair care treatments at the suite featuring Essence of Youth, O2 and NutriFuze.
In the same manner that BOTOX and other cosmetic procedures smooth wrinkles, Olez’s Essence of Youth is formulated to smooth away imperfections in damaged hair. Essence of Youth promises to turn back the hair’s clock by removing damage accrued over years of chemical processing, heat styling and natural elements. It contains active natural ingredients with restorative properties capable of repairing broken hair fibers, giving hair a youthful, smoother look, while restoring hair strength.
Celebrities at the suite will also be the first people in the world to try O2, Olez’s unique oxygen therapy program that detoxifies the hair and scalp. When applied, oxygen is released and removes all impurities from the hair and scalp followed by an infusion of essential nutrients and oils.
NutriFuze, contains a cocktail of powerful exotic ingredients blended to restore hair that is damaged from excessive blow-drying, color and lifestyle.
“The results I have obtained with Olez’s new products have been phenomenal. To witness years of damage in client’s hair just disappear, is amazing,” states Olez’s Creative Director and celebrity stylist, Edward Teitel.
After Hollywood, Olez will be exhibiting at America’s Beauty Show, March 9-11, 2013, McCormick Place, booth 1855 and will be offering demonstrations and training on Sunday, March 10th.
