Length and trimming
Hair cutting or hair trimming is intended to create or maintain a specific shape and form. Its extent may range from merely trimming the uneven ends of the hair to a uniform length to completely shaving the head.
Brushing and combing
Brushes and combs are used to organize and untangle the hair, encouraging all of the strands to lie in the same direction and removing debris such as lint, dandruff, or hairs that have already shed from their follicles but continue to cling to the other hairs.
Drying
Hair dryers speed the drying process of hair by blowing air, which is usually heated, over the wet hair shaft to accelerate the rate of water evaporation.
Excessive heat may increase the rate of shaft-splitting or other damage to the hair. Hair dryer diffuser can be used to widen the stream of air flow so it is weaker but covers a larger area of the hair.
Essence of Beauty
Hair Color
Hair color can give you a new look and a new attitude. Our color specialists have spent a lot of time learning and perfecting their techniques, so you want to keep your hair color looking salon fresh as long as possible.
Harsh shampoos and styling products can sap the color right out of your hair, and the sun can also make your color fade or oxidize. Oxidation happens when your hair color reacts with sunshine, and some chemicals such as chlorine in the pool. It can cause your hair color to get an orange or gold tint that is very unattractive. You can protect your hair and keep your color looking vivid.
5 tips to keep your hair color looking salon fresh.
Keep your touch up appointments. As your hair grows out you need to get your roots retouched, usually every 4 to 6 weeks.
Use products made specifically for color treated hair. These products contain ingredients to preserve your color, and don’t contain ingredients that will make your color fade.
Use a clarifying shampoo once a month. Clarifying shampoos remove minerals and product build up from your hair so your color stays true.
Use a protective conditioner before you jump in the pool Chlorine reacts with hair color.Leave in conditioners are best because they coat your hair shaft and protect the color molecules within the center of your hair.
Use these 5 simple tips to keep your hair color looking like you just stepped out of the salon. Our stylist can give you recommendations for professional products to protect and care for your hair. Let our knowledge and skills keep your color vibrant and fresh.
Application Techniques for Hair Coloring
Highlighting – where sections of hair are treated with lighteners, usually to create blonde streaks.
Lowlighting – where sections of hair are treated with darker hair color. These can be applied by the following methods:
1. Foiling – where pieces of foil or plastic film are used to separate off the hair to be colored; especially when applying more than one color.
2. A Cap – when a plastic cap is placed tight on the head and strands are pulled through with a hook.
3. Balayage – where hair color is painted directly onto sections of the hair with no foils used to keep the color contained.
*All application techniques can be used with any type of color. For highlights, the hair will usually have to be bleached before coloring.

Waxing
At Ernie’s Hair Care we know how unwanted hairs can make you feel less than who you really are. We want you to feel confident in your own skin and want to inform you on the pleasures of waxing.
There are many benefits to waxing versus other forms of hair removal. It is an effective method to remove large amounts of hair at one time. It is a long-lasting method. Hair in waxed areas will not grow back for two to eight weeks.
When hair is shaved or removed by depilatory cream, the hair is removed at the surface rather than the root. Within a few days, the hair can be seen at the surface. With these methods, hair tends to grow back in a rough stubble. Areas that are repeatedly waxed over long periods of time often exhibit regrowth that is softer.
Benefits of Waxing
Long Lasting Smooth and Silky Skin
Reduced Skin Damage
Softer and Finer Body Hair
Exfoliation
Diminishes Hair Growth
Cost Efficient
Easy and can be done at Home
We understand that it is personal, so were committed to making you comfortable, both through friendly, straightforward service and the very best waxing products and technicians available.
