For your convenience, please call to pre-book your consultation time.

Our stylists were able to see the latest techniques that are used to achieve modern looks on many different textures of hair. The finished looks were supported by some exciting new products from REDKEN: Satin Wear 02 and Blown Away 09. The shine and heat protection from these two products gives great control and style memory to the hair.

Color can take any hairstyle to the next level. An exciting new technique called “Kryptonite” was used to enhance the shapes that were created earlier. This versatile placement of the highlights will work with many different shapes and textures. The star-like pattern can be enhanced with several “sparks” of color from underneath, to give it a more dramatic look.

Continuing education is just one way Robert Andrew ensures that you get the highest quality cuts and colors from our stylists!

First, you need to be using products that are formulated for your specific needs.

Is your hair color treated, dry, frizzy, fine or damaged? Seek out a shampoo for color-treated hair and a conditioner made to help smooth the cuticle (outer layer) of the hair.

Once a week, or every five shampoos, is a great time to treat yourself (and your hair) to an intensive at-home treatment.

Remember, you can get too much of a good thing. Using a treatment every time you shampoo, can lead to overload! Over moisturized hair looks and reacts like dry hair. Follow your stylist’s recommendations and don’t over do it.

Protect your color-treated hair from fading before it starts.

Color fades an average of about 26% in four to six weeks. Refuse to fade away! Just like your skin, your hair needs protection from damaging UV rays. Apply a sunscreen (they make them for hair now) and work through the hair. Remember to reapply after several hours. Once is NOT enough. Your daily shampoo should protect from chlorine and UV rays. Look for ingredients like tocopherol (vitamin E) and PABA free sunscreens.

Utilizing a color enhancing shampoo and conditioner once every third shampoo, can be your saving grace. Here’s the ticket – they can be custom blended at professional salons.  Ask us for more details!

Here’s what some of our clients have recently told us:

“I came in for a color correction.  It was great – this is the only salon that I will let touch my hair now.  Jeanine was very friendly and informed me of everything I was getting done and what I needed at my next appointment.  She is so amazing – thank you for fixing my hair!”
-Kaylin

“I drive one hour to come to Robert Andrew…thank you for such a beautiful and professionally run Salon.  I always recommend you to many people!”
-Joyce

“I had an excellent facial.  My face feels so clean and polished.  I have been seeing Melanie since 2004 – she is so sweet and professional and does such a wonderful job with her gentle hands.”

“Jen is, as always, a delight to be around as well as a terrific stylist.  She can read my mind and understands my shortcomings when it comes to styling my hair by myself.  Always a pleasure to be at Robert Andrew!”
-Nancy

Then I discovered the secret to packing light – they’re called SwitchFlops. You can pack a week’s worth of shoe styles in the space it takes to pack one pair of shoes.  Pack one pair of SwitchFlops and bring as many of the interchangeable straps you want to match all your outfits (and if you’re truly addicted like me you’ll buy outfits to match some of the cute straps).  The idea is really quite ingenious.  There are several different styles of SwitchFlops including the traditional flip flop and a dressier kitten heel.  Both offer endless style possibilities with just a quick switch of the straps.

Robert Andrew has these shoes in their boutique so you can try them on and see all the different straps first hand.  It might make taking just a carry-on an option for my next trip!
