Hair Therapy

This is the flat iron that changed my life. The Pro-Select Ionic Ceramic Pink Flat Iron is officially my new best friend. After a visit to my stylist on Saturday I was determined to pay close attention to everything she did, products she used... hell, even the flick of her wrist, all in my attempt to recreate that fresh out of the salon bounce, shine and style. She advised me to go to a discount store like Marshalls or TJ Maxx because they've been known to have top of the line products for amazing deals. Yesterday during my lunch I was on the hunt and Marshalls at 600 N. Michigan Ave. was my hunting ground. After an hour of rummaging thru cheapy flat irons and blow dryers I finally found it! There were 3 left and they had all been strategically placed behind dozens of other products. I wasn't about to play any games so I was definitely digging thru anything and everything in sight! This hair gem was only $29.99 and easily compares to a CHI (and other top of the line flat irons that cost $100+). I was so eager to wash my hair this morning ( I like either Protene for curly hair or Neutrogena Triple Moisture Cream Lather) and try out my new purchases. I started by blow drying my hair with my new Revlon Tourmaline Ionic Ceramic blow dryer! This thing is no joke...it literally cut my drying time from 20 mins to 5 mins! Simply amazing. I also got this at Marshalls for $18.99. Anyways, I followed up with the flat iron and keep in mind, I've used a ceramic flat iron before but didn't think that the "ionic" part would really do that much... boy was I wrong! This flat iron is amazing! My hair has never felt silkier, looked smoother and felt so light and airy without going to the salon. I've always been able to style my hair, it was just an uphill battle trying to get it as smooth as the salon! I'm so excited to have this product and share with everyone. For any ladies that are slaves to their flat irons, please scour your local Marshalls or TJ Maxx and see if you can find this flat iron... you won't be disappointed!

Toss the Hair Salon and Spa Review

Toss the Hair Salon and Spa
60 E. 13th St.
Chicago, IL 60605

312-986-8677



I just relocated back to Chicago (South loop) from Arizona and I was dreading the task of finding a salon that specialized in African-American hair...especially a salon that was in the South Loop and within walking distance --that was until I stumbled upon Toss The Hair salon and spa. The staff is really warm and professional. They accepted me as a walk-in and made sure to stress that it was no problem trying out a few stylists to see who I liked. Well, they hit it out of the ball park by matching me with Phaedra! While all the stylists are good, Phaedra is definitely my favorite! Her personality is so upbeat and her energy is contagious! I walked in there with damaged ends and in need of a magic wand...and I left with shiny, bouncy vivacious hair! In addition to a wonderful team of people, the salon and spa has a great layout and even a boutique section! It was great to browse the racks of trendy clothes/bags while waiting for my hair to dry. If you're looking for a salon that has a great atmosphere, wonderful stylists and is worth every penny...please go here! Request Phaedra and I promise you'll leave tossing your hair!
