Co-washing with Unwash!

Co-Washing with Unwash – Aurelio Salon and Spa New Jersey

by Samantha

unwash

What is co-washing?
Co-washing has been a method of cleansing the hair with a conditioning cleanser. Originally used by women of color with unruly curls and coarse hair texture. The method has transformed over time and is used on men, women, and children with all hair textures. The increase in popularity of conditioner cleansing inspired Unwash to release a line of cleansers suitable for everyone. Unwash is the latest and greatest when it comes to co-wash.

Why use Unwash rather than shampoo?
Unwash is a gentler, intelligent approach to cleansing the hair. Shampoos have stripping ingredients that take away natural healthy oils. Unwash is sulfate free, paraben free, is vegan and contains nourishing ingredients. The use of unwash actually improves the quality of your hair after one use. The specialized formula removes dirt without drying out the hair and scalp. Over time unwash balances the hairs moisture rather than stripping essential nutrients.

How do I use unwash?
Cleansing with unwash is easy and only one step. Unlike most shampoos, the unwash bio cleanser can be used daily. The formula does not lather but emulsifies once in contact with water. Begin by using a small amount of cleanser and massage the scalp to remove dirt and unwanted oil, comb the rest to the ends and rinse. The Bio-cleanser is gentle enough to use daily. Unwash has an anti-residue cleanser that can occasionally be used to remove buildup from products, well water, or anything unessential to hair. Use the anti-residue cleanser when necessary to remove buildup and use the hydrating mask after to replenish moisture.

What if I have any skin conditions such as psoriasis or dry scalp?
The Unwash Bio-Cleanser and Hydrating Mask have an ingredient used by early Native Americans known for its healing properties. Seabuckthorn has been known to heal wounds and repair the skin. Unlike most co-washing cleansers, Unwash is actually recommended for such skin conditions. Because of the healing and moisture balancing qualities, Unwash leaves the scalp calm and soothed.

Is unwash ok for colored hair?
If you’re tired of seeing your color fade from harsh shampoos try using unwash and see the difference immediately. Not only does unwash preserve your hair color longer, it seals the cuticle to intensify color and shine.

Why should I try unwash today?
After one use of unwash you will see and feel the difference immediately. Drying time is reduced, hair color is enhanced, texture is smooth and silky, and over time you hair will thank you. Unwash is perfect for everyone, try it out today!

Before

Howell, New Jersey’s Aurelio Salon had a client that was a level 6 at her root and a level 7/8 warm on her ends. She wanted a peach ombré leaning more towards an orangey peach. Aurelio Salons team member Emily,  a graduate of the Goldwell Master Colorist Program, was able to achieve this look in one appointment. Emily sent her guest home with Elumen Wash Treat and Care to maintain the color and shine she left the salon with.

Fiery Red to Sexy Blonde

Fiery Red to Sexy Blonde Hair – Aurelio Salon in NJ

When our client Brittany informed her stylist that she wanted to change her fiery red hair to blonde she knew she was in for a challenge.  She informed her client that this will not happen over night and will take time.  It actually took 4 visits to achieve the look she was looking for.

The top left picture is Brittany with her brightest red,

The bottom left picture was after her first visit at Aurelio Salon in NJ. She had a silk bath first and then Elumen was applied.

The bottom right picture was after a full head of back to back foils  this lifted most of the red out.

On the third visit Brittany was given some highlights. (Sorry no picture of the third visit)

On her fourth visit her stylist went in with a root touch up and a full head of highlights. In between her highlights she pulled Blonding Cream throughout the hair to lift everything to a sparkling blonde. She glazed her with Colorance to add shine and neutralize any unwanted yellow tones.

The picture on the right is Brittany end result, a beautiful sun kissed blonde.

The Styling Team at Aurelio Salon offers these two tips from going to an intense color to blonde.  First do it the RIGHT way, do it in a span of 3-4 visits depending on the integrity of the hair. Second use color removers like Return from Elumen instead of running straight to a lightener, the more color you can remove without using lightener the better quality the hair will be in the end.

How to Stay Gorgeous after Midnight This New Year’s Eve!

Stay Gorgeous After Midnight – Aurelio Salon in NJ

How to Stay Gorgeous after Midnight This New Year’s Eve!

`new-year2-edit

It’s the night to celebrate and make your first memories for the year ahead! A fresh glamorous makeup look can help you stay gorgeous after midnight this new years eve with a few simple steps.

Start out with a deep clean face, use Dermalogica Precleanse to remove excess dirt and makeup other cleansers fail to remove. Wash face as usual and apply a hydrating light-weight moisturizer like Dermalogica Skin Smoothing Cream, it gives enough moisture to replenish skin during our dry winter months. Even if you have oily skin moisturizing is essential to keep skin from producing excess oil. Skipping your moisturizer also leaves skin with an uneven canvas for proper coverage.

Next, apply a face primer or tinted moisturizer such as Beauty Addicts Mineral Sheer Tint. This can be worn as a base for a cream or powder foundation or can be worn alone. This sheer tint is an excellent base for makeup to stay all night.

For eyes that look awake even if you are not, conceal under eyes with half a shade lighter than your skin tone, we suggest Beauty Addicts Double Deception. The pallet has two sides, the under eye pallet will not crease and soothes the delicate skin with green tea and Vitamin E. Be sure to pat it on, rubbing puts too much stress on this sensitive skin. This prevents dark circles from showing throughout the night and keeps eye makeup from running. Be sure to check out the help over at Renee Rouleau when it comes to finding the best eye makeup remover so your perfectly applied makeup can be taken off with ease, whilst protecting your skin at the same time. It may just be the best thing that you ever decide to do.

Go ahead and pull out those special occasion sparkly shadows! This year we have been seeing metallic shadows on every runway, so sticking with bronze, gold, or silver is stylish way to add to your makeup look.

Be sure to stay away from dark shades under your eye, it tends to make eyes look heavy and tired. You can still have a dramatic look with bold liner and some false lashes. Create a dramatic cat eye with a long lasting liner and pat concealer under the line to keep it from running. To open your eye and add more drama, apply a light shimmery shadow to the inner corner of your eyes.

Finish your look with our holiday favorite, Sinful Lips by Beauty Addicts and bring on the New Year!

Baby It’s Cold Outside!!

Baby Its Cold Outside – Aurelio Salon in NJ

This time of the year, skin dehydration really takes a toll. Most of us forget that summer is not the only season to hydrate and protect your skin. Whether you are facing indoor heat dryness, or cold air moisture deprivation your skin is begging for some hydration! This is usually why skin cracks and bleeds during this season (ouch!) Let’s try to keep our skin in the best condition this season and follow these oh-so-important tips.

We will first begin with your cleanliness routine! Typically, people like to take showers with hot water during the winter since it is the opposite of the terrible weather conditions being faced outside. Here is a fact you may not have known. Showering with hot water actually strips your body of its natural oils. While you may be getting the best shower of your life, you also will be stripping your body of self-made hydration. Ironic, right? Warm water or even cooler water will help maintain the moisture in your skin.

When you get out, use a lotion, serum, or oil that penetrates deeper than the surface. Most products may only hydrate the top layer of the skin, but really don’t do much for underlying layers. A majority of people think to use a heavier lotion to intensely moisturize the skin. This has some truth to it, however it is not the most effective way to penetrate the skin. Try using an oil before you butter up your body. Using a product containing hyaluronic acid, ceramides or even an oil will be your best pick. These solutions go beyond the surface to effectively hydrate skin.

For cracked lips, a mineral oil can be effective for maintaining moisture but will not create it. If you’re looking to preserve your moisture then this is a fine choice for you, but if you are creating the moisture due to a lack of it, you must look for the ingredients mentioned in the paragraph above (containing hyaluronic acid, ceramides or even an oil).

Now last but certainly important is your face! Using a cleanser with a chemical exfoliant and a gentle mechanical exfoliant (beads or a scrub of some sort). This will regenerate your skin by removing the dead skin cells from the surface. Once you’re done exfoliating, use a lightweight serum on your skin and use your moisturizer afterwards. The serum helps preserve the moisture in your facial moisturizer. If you are worried about your skin getting greasy and breaking out, only use the moisturizer during the day and wash your face with the exfoliant before you sleep. This will allow your skin to breathe while you sleep.

Winter is a time when you not only get chapped lips and cracked heels, but also suffer from flu and cold. And if you are following the above-mentioned tips for maintaining your beauty, why not consider taking care of your overall health? Following some simple tips like washing your hands regularly, maintaining cleanliness throughout your home, and retaining indoor air quality could prove beneficial in the long run. The last one is particularly important because poor air quality can lead to the growth of bacteria and fungi, which can prove fatal, especially during winters. Therefore, for improving your air quality it is important to clean and repair your HVAC devices at regular intervals. Yes, it could be a difficult task, but you can contact HVAC service providers like Premier HVAC Services ( you can go to the site from here) who can make the work seem like a cakewalk.

Fighting Fine Hair!

Fighting Fine Hair – Aurelio Salon in New Jersey

Fighting-Fine-Hair-1024x551

A constant battle that frequently crosses a hairdresser’s chair is the guest with ultra- fine hair. If this is you, pay close attention! Here are a few tips you can follow to fight the battle against dull, flat strands.

1- Do not overload on product.

Believe it or not, you’re doing your hair an injustice. Instead, support your locks wisely, and stick with a light weight root booster. Also choose thickening products which contain a plumping agent to expand hair from the core. Being selective and conservative will take your hair to new heights!

2- Blow-Drying with a round brush.

Utilize tools created by hair genius’ such as Sam Villa. Ventilated ionic round brushes are your “go-to” brush. When drying hair, take the round brush at your root and lift hair away from the scalp. This will allow you to dry hair and create maximum volume where you need it most.

3- Use hot rollers!

That’s right. We’re going old school! This will help set your hair in a manner that will promote voluminous hair. This will not only create volume by the root, but also give the rest of your hair fullness with over- sized curls. Basically you will look like a “foxy lady”.

4- Using the correct shampoo and conditioner.

It is important that you are treating your hair with respect by using the best professional hair care products. If you’re trying to create volume and light weight body, using a heavily conditioned shampoo will not be the best for you. Your goal is to make your hair as light as possible to promote lift and life! Choosing a shampoo such as AddVolume by KMS California will assist your hair with that goal. If your next concern is conditioner that can protect while still being weightless, try FreeShape conditioner- also from KMS California. This has active heat ingredients that activate when heat touches it (blow dryers, flat irons, curling irons, etc.)

5- Getting the proper haircut.

Getting a regular trim when you have fine hair aids the illusion of full hair. When you have breakage and split ends, it creates a thinned out appearance. So set up some appointments at your local salon to ensure you don’t let your hair grow scraggly. Adding some layers will enhance movement in your hair styling as well. With a layered haircut it will be easy to use these tricks for a fuller appearance.

Go ahead fine-haired friends! Try these tips out and see which tricks work best for you.
