Summer hairstyles begin with a good cut! Some say that a good haircut is like a cheap face-lift. Hey, feeling cooler,


more modern and looking younger are always good options. However, many women visit a beauty shop for other reasons. Having a professional work on your hair can also reduce stress, especially if there’s someone you can talk to. Haircut specialist John Atchison now offers spiritual prayer and some helpful guidance to women who visit him at Hair Fashions East.
For summer 2006, the hair look is quite individual. Precision and asymmetrical cuts are modern-looking. Whether hair is straight or curly, relaxed or natural, hair is moving. And it’s blowing with the wind. There’s ease, especially in day-to-day maintenance, with a cool cut. Flips are out. Color is in. Caring for your hair is important. Naturals are news. If your hair is damaged, see a professional. Invest in a flat iron.
At Hair Fashions East, located at 411 Park Avenue, NYC, John Atchison and his staff are introducing the practice of Christian fellowship. Many women often confide in their beauty professionals. Atchison’s clients find this feature very helpful, especially if they come into the salon with a lot on their mind. For John Atchison, the beauty shop is a place of spiritual healing too.
Here are 5 summer haircare tips:

1) Before entering the pool or salt water, condition your hair with a deep conditioning treatment, advised relaxer & color specialist Barnarda Rodriguez.
2) Drink lots of water and keep your hair moisturized, recommended color specialist Arlene McCormick. H20 Intense by Mizani is sold in the salon.
3) To protect your hair from the sun, wear hats (straw) with a folded silk hanky underneath, said hairstylist Aisha Jafar. After swimming, you can rinse your hair with club soda.
4) Never shave hair from your eyebrows, stated hair specialist and aesthetician George Bruckner. “Tweeze your eyebrows or have them professionally waxed.”
5) During the summer, hair should be shampooed twice a week. Use Vaseline on your hair before you put on a swim cap,” concluded Atchison. “You may even want to wrap plastic around your hair to cut down water seepage.”
