New Year's Brazilian Blowout Special: DISCOUNTED OR FREE HAIRCUT!

Brazilian Blowout is all over the news, magazines, and celebrity blogs. As you've seen, it's the best way to fight frizz and smooth unruly curls. In fact, it changes your hair texture so much that a trim or re-shaping is recommended.

Now through February 2010, new clients can have that haircut for only $50 (regularly $95) when you see me for a Brazilian Blowout.

Better yet, how about a FREE HAIRCUT? Come in for color and a Brazilian Blowout, and the cut is on me!

ADVANCED TRAINING

My clients and I were excited about the results, but I still had a some questions. So I went straight to the horse's mouth: I called the creator of the whole process, and was invited in for a rare opportunity to DO A CLIENT TOGETHER WITH HIM! Of course I jumped on that! I had my questions answered but also learned some of his personal tips and tricks they didn't teach in the class. It was AMAZING, I felt SO LUCKY!

Photos!

CERTIFICATION

I took the Certification class ASAP after having my hair done, because I loved it so much! It was a lecture and demonstration, followed by a hands-on session where the class split into groups to work on models. We each worked on our assigned models, then rotated to see how it was working on the different hair types.

I left the class feeling exhilarated and couldn't wait to dive in! I started working with clients and friends to get some experience and learn some tricks. I will post a series of photos of the miracles I was now thrilled to be able to perform.

NOT REAL TIME

I'd just like to reiterate that this blog is not yet in real time. I am journaling my experiences over the last 14 months and will let you know when I'm caught up (soon I hope).

waves coming back

2 months later, my curls were slowly and evenly returning, but without frizz. I had my bangs re-done to keep them straight, and enjoyed this in-between look. I never could have stretched my curls out to look like this before (remember how springy the curls were?)

What's next?

Being the curious gal that I am, I wondered, "what can I do with my hair now, that I could never have done before?" BANGS! And why not a color change, while we're at it?

Before and After my first Brazilian Blowout

Before: 3-4 layers of product and nearly two hours of air-drying to make my curls look good. I won't even post a pic of them left to do their own thing. And no, I'm not a natural blonde LOL...there's A LOT of bleach on this hair. Think it can handle being straightened?

THE ANSWER IS YES!

After: 7 MINUTES with a blow-dryer and a flat brush! This look would have taken 45 minutes before, and fluffed up if I encountered any humidity. But now it is silky, shiny, frizz-free and weather-resistant! (please excuse the sunburn)

Welcome to my Brazilian Blowout Blog!

Hi! I am Jordana Lorraine, a Certified Brazilian Blowout Specialist working out of Dino Clark Salon in Santa Monica (Los Angeles), CA. I've created this blog to share information about, and photos of, my experience with Brazilian Blowout.

I had my first Brazilian Blowout over a year ago and was immediately enamoured. My (formerly) frizzy, fluffy, curly hair had been transformed into soft, silky, shiny hair. Instead of 45 minutes with numerous products, a round brush and flat iron, I now needed only a flat brush to make my hair silky-straight in less than 10 minutes! If I used a little leave-in conditioner and let it dry naturally, I had the kind of soft, flat waves I'd always coveted.

Since I'm already a hairdresser, the obvious step was to become Certified to offer this miracle time-saver to my own clients and other frizzy gals.

I will start by posting my own pictures and story, then will move on to photos of clients I've done. You can read more about me at http://www.jordanalorraine.com. Contact info is listed on the site.
