I love KMS Silk Sheen treatment. I love the fact that it has magic “IOPS” An Inside out perfecting serum. It’s a treatment that is so silky it physically shines as it has sparkle shimmer pieces of in it – Perfect for dull long tangled hair. It retransforms hair so it is soft, sparkling and silky. The almond and basil combination makes this KMS treatment smell good enough to eat! I use this at home on my own long fine hair, and also on many of my clients when they need a little extra boost for smooth and shiny hair. If your hair is fine, make sure you focus this treatment on your ends, as it a medium weight and you don’t want to weigh down your roots. Shampoo your hair with a good quality Salon shampoo and conditioner recommended by your stylist, then use a towel to get out all the extra moisture, use a tablespoon (more for extra-long hair) amount from the mid lengths down, comb through to make sure that it is evenly distributed through the hair. Leave it up to 5 minutes and rinse out well. My professional tip is to treat your hair once a week. This step is missed or not done regularly enough by most women, and there hair isn’t in the best condition that it could be. If you plan your treatments around your life, and schedule them in weekly you will give your hair the best chance at being at its best. My treatment night is Tuesday, along with Packed to the Rafters!

The Ultraceuticals Even Skin Tone Serum is definitely my favourite product, both for my clients and me. I have personally had amazing results and seen great results in the salon with this product and would recommend it to anyone as it targets so many different issues including acne, pigmentation, fine lines and wrinkles and congestion.  It is an exfoliating and resurfacing serum to even out the overall skin complexion and tone. As this product is ‘active’ and contains BHA’s and AHA’s I recommended introducing this product slowing into your homecare routine, and to start use after professional recommendation. There are three strengths, sensitive, regular and a stronger complex, so there is an Even Skin Tone Serum for every skin type. For my clients that are about to start incorporating this product into their routine, I would recommend using it every second night; you will need to slowly introduce your skin to the new active ingredients. You only need 2-3 drops and apply it all over the face, excluding the eye and lip area. It is normal to feel tingly when applied, as it is exfoliating the dead skin cells. After 1 week, you can then increase the application to nightly. My professional tip, which is essential during the use of this product, is to use a moisturiser during the say that has a sun protection of at least 30, as your skin will be more sensitised to the sun. I really would recommend in salon Professional Ultraceuticals treatments for best results as they are able to intensify the treatments for your specific concerns.

My favourite product in the massive RY.com.au range would certainly be the Alpha-H Balancing Cleanser; it has truly transformed my skin. Before starting at RY last year my skin was very dry, and extremely sensitive. During a consultation with Hayley I was told that I needed to balance out my skins PH levels after long use of supermarket astringent cleansers. These inexpensive products had caused the natural moisture levels and barrier layers of my face to be damaged as they were far too harsh. Since Hayley has moved me onto a tailored skincare regime I have noticed such an amazing difference in my skin, it is glowing! I am very sensitive to some ingredients including glycolic and lactic based products, so I needed a cleanser that would calm my skin whilst also cleanse away impurities and make up. I have had an Alpha-H facial treatment before, and heard lots about the range, so I was happy to give the Balancing Cleanser a go. After only a week my skin was no longer itchy and felt remarkably softer. I have now been using this cleanser for 10 months, and my skin continues to soften and improve over time. After trying many cleansers that did not deliver what they claimed I am glad to have found this cleanser and will continue to use it as my skin has never been better.

I absolutely LOVE Moroccan Oil! After road testing this product for a couple of weeks before it arrived into our salon, i was instantly hooked! The results from what’s inside this miracle bottle are outstanding. I have very fine hair which has been coloured for the last 6 or so years, so it is quiet dry. Any smoothing or styling products that I have used in the past either weigh down my hair and make it limp and flat, or are too heavy and leave a sticky residue feeling. MoroccanOil makes my hair smoother, softer and feeling moisturised in an instant. I get the best result if I apply to towel dried hair, and then blow dry, but through the week when I let my hair dry naturally, I will put some in, after my shower. I have a bottle in my bathroom, in my handbag, and in my gym bag! It’s about time that a new product does what it claims to, and I understand why there is such a cult following, everyday people and celebs that love this product, it really does work! I’m looking forward to using and trying the new products in the range like the shampoo and conditioner in the coming weeks.

Love Redken Styling Rough Clay for my daily styling product. It provides great hold throughout the day, the style is not affected by the elements such as humidity and it gives a natural matte finish. I love that my hair will look the same in the evening after a full day of work as it did to start off with. Working at RY, I have a very large selection of hair styling products to choose from, and I have tried most of them, personally the Rough Clay is certainly my favourite and suits my style needs perfectly. I can use it no matter what my hair length in-between by haircuts and it washes out very easily of a night with my shampoo. If I don’t shampoo my hair, my hair isn’t horribly greasy, the product is water soluble, but there will be a slight residue left over, I won’t need to use as much the next morning. The texture and consistency of the product is firm, but workable, so it isn’t difficult to apply, like some others that I have used, but it is firm enough to give me hold.
Our hair stylists have recommended applying from the back of the hair forward to the front, I use this technique and find that it prevents me from applying too much to the front of my hair to begin with, and the finished look is always perfect.

I love the MD Formulations Face & Body Scrub because it is one bottle in the shower, face and body in one, nice and easy for my busy mornings. It makes my skin silky smooth. I can put my conditioner on, and cleanse my whole face and bottle within 3 minutes. It gets rid of all my black heads, and clears out all my pores. I have used this product for 6 months now, I rarely get the same product twice, as I like to change and try all the new things on offer, so that I can give my honest recommendations to my customers when they ask. I like the bottle too, when you open it up in the shower it doesn’t fill with water, I hate it when this happens to a product! This product ticks all the boxes when it comes to what I need and want, its simple and doesn’t have too many steps, its efficient, and does what it says.

Redken have unleashed there new “Style Connection”. One of the stand out products is Matte Sponge 05. With its amazing sponge texture and deel, it will transform your look to a more toughened, roughed up finish. It will add separation to the smoothist looks and create over the top volume and texture. Apply a small amount to damp hair, blow-dry in one direction, then in the opposite direction to create volume. I have been using Matte Sponge to blowdry my midlength hair and love the feeling and volume this product creates.

MoroccanOil treatment is a very unique serum texture oil. The MoroccanOil is made from the oil of the Argan Tree (found only in Southeast Morocco) and a unique blend of vitamins. Definitely worth a mention is that the product is harvested under a free trade program, which supports families in Morocco.

For the past 4 weeks, I have used MoroccanOil every time I wash my hair, but have found MoroccanOil’s best results when combines with blow-drying. Silky smooth, shiny, soft hair, and my biggest concern – tangle free!

This oil is a powerful antioxidant that protects, nourishes and strengthens hair. It softens thick unmanageable hair and restore shone and softness to dull lifeless hair. MoroccanOil will help eliminate frizz, speeds up styling time by 40% and provides long-term conditioning to all hair types. MoroccanOil’s unique formula strengthens brittle hair while promoting healing to the hair.

There is only one Original MoroccanOil treatment, and it is several products in one.
•    Shine
•    Styling
•    Finishing
•    Repairing
•    Conditioning
•    Protecting

When most people hear oil, they think greasy, heavy and slicking product – no, no, no not in this case. It is super lightweight oil that is completely absorbed into the hair when applied. Even in very fine hair it does not weigh down and create grease, and creates awesome shine, softness and manageability.

There isn’t much more that I can say about this bottled miracle, other than try it for yourself!

Argan Oil’s unique composition has gained an international reputation for being nature’s best kept secret, and has numerous benefits. Moroccans have been using the oil as a treatment in hair and skin care products for centuries. In terms of personal care the properties of Argan oil work to enhance the skin’s overall health, preserve its youth, and aid in the natural healing of the skin and condition of the hair.
Hair Health Benefits:

Argan oil is non-greasy and non-oily and has become popular as a hair treatment to repair and heal damaged hair. It is high in unsaturated fatty acids and rich in Omega 9 – shown to be helpful at improving hair strength and health. Many believe it is excellent for locking in moisture and improving shine and luster.

Its’ primary benefit seems to come from its ability to naturally hydrate and to help stop frizziness, fly-away and hard to control, unmanageable hair. Argan oil has been shown to penetrate the hair shaft and almost instantly improve follicle elasticity and increase nourishment.

Usually applied following shampooing to wet hair, Argan oil helps detangle. It is rich in natural antioxidants that are effective free-radical fighters – helping to repair damage and improve strength. It naturally contains Vitamin E that helps revive and renew hair damaged by heat, wind, or over-styling and processing.

Skin Care Benefits:

It can reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, strengthen elasticity, protect against stretch marks, and improve your skin’s overall health and vitality. It is readily becoming recognised as a essential element in the hair and beauty industry. Argan oil is now being used in several beauty products. Researchers who have completed extensive studies identify the benefits of Argan oil and strongly recommend its cosmetic use.

Where does it come from:

Moroccan Oil is an oil produced from the kernels of the Argan tree, native to Morocco, that is valued for its nutritive, cosmetic and numerous medicinal properties. The tree is extremely well adapted to drought and other environmentally difficult conditions of southwestern Morocco.

The species Argania once covered North Africa and is now endangered and under protection of UNESCO. The Argan tree grows wild in semi-desert soil, its deep root system helping to protect against soil erosion and the northern advance of the Sahara.

Argan oil remains one of the rarest oils in the world due the small and very specific growing area.

Dubbed the “miracle oil” from Morocco, it competes with Jojoba oil as a very effective hair treatment that renourishes and replenishes dry or brittle hair while protecting and healing damage. As an added benefit, Argan Oil appears to help color treated hair. Essential fatty acids smooth and coat the follicle shaft and have been shown to extend the life of color treated hair.
