Most women would say their hair is their security blanket.
Is your security blanket defined by its color? Is it natural or
enhanced? Are you bold with color, or soft and subtle? Mary
Tripi of The Private World of Mary Tripi Salon has the
professional team knowledge to advise and to guide you to
choose what is right for you. After your visit at The Private
World of Mary Tipi, you will have a new-found confidence
that will emerge naturally from your personality because
your security blanket is now your crowning glory.
Nicholas says he “will not paint on a torn canvas”; meaning hair
must be in good condition, first, in order to achieve optimum
results with both colour and style. A personal routine which
include the right products for your particular hair type, regular
maintenance with your beauty provider and a healthy diet,
including vitamins are a perfect recipe for healthy hair. Mary
Tripi, and Master colorists Nicholas Vrettakos, Monique Sanjare
and Stewart Bannister, believe taking an individual approach
with a personalized consultation with every client to discuss
their likes and dislikes, hair routine, and lifestyle, is a must.
Whether your hair ranges from a shiny blue black to the
brightest of blonde; your lifestyle, diet and mood play an
unimaginable part in your hair’s health.
What to know before you color:
Blonde: They say they have more fun, but when you’re not a
natural getting your perfect shade of blonde takes a practiced
hand and an experienced eye. Blondes need clarifying shampoos
in order to remove chlorine and mineral build-up. Avoid
reconstructive conditioners heavy with proteins and stick to
moisturizing masks. Tip: Always saturate hair with drinking
water before entering pools and hot tubs to avoid discoloration.
Brunette: It is all about moisture. It’s easier to
notice shine is gone on a darker head of hair, so
moisture rich shampoos and conditioners heavy in
amino fatty acids are best. If going brunette for the
first time paying attention to your skin tone and
whether it’s warm or cool is very important. Always
talk to your hair care professional for advice.
Black: Not everyone can wear black hair. It takes
a special person to carry a colour as dramatic as
black. Your re-growth can show a lot sooner then
we all think when wishing for mermaid locks. At
least one root touch-up every 3.5 to 4 weeks is
needed, but should not be pulled through every
time.
Red: Despite the great technological advancements
in hair colour, like L’Oreal Professional’s DM5,
Rubaline, and the INOA family of hair colour,
Red is a colour that is inherently susceptible to
premature fading when not maintained properly.
If you have fair skin, colours in the red family are a
great option to try.
Colouring hair has seen big push in the beauty
industry in the last decade, amounting to 90
percent of clients who come to the Private World
of Mary Tripi also have colour services. There are a
wide range of coloring options and easy access to
products, but it’s key to stay true to your organic
self. Mary Tripi is a veteran in the industry and she
and her team will continue to colour based on
individuality in order to enhance your natural
beauty every step of the way.
