José Luis Salon

I recently met with Bill Pitts, partial owner and manager of Jose Luis Salon, to have a tour and complimentary blow out. Can I just take a moment to brag about my job … Love it! It’s going to be so hard for me to go back to school next semester. Anyways, the trip was fantastic! The staff was warm and friendly, not only to me but to ever person that walked through the door. The Salon was designed to have a light, airy, feel with large open window and mirrors that are strategically placed to create extra light and the illusion of more space. One of the things that I found most interesting about the design of the salon is that all the furniture are on wheels so it can easily be moved about and allow the salon to be used as a venue for parties or events. Very smart, boys. The Salon features Kerastase, Shu Uemura and Oribe products. Jose Luis even has its own cosmetics line which was just launch at the beginning of last month. Rumor has it that they secured a very prominent make up manufacturer to produce their products … So, the beauty world better watch out because Jose Luis Cosmetics is taking it by storm. Jose Luis Salon is located in Austin, Texas on West 6th Street. Please stop by when you are in town and tell them I sent you, you won’t be disappointed.

Shu Uemura- Art of Hair

I have always been familiar with Shu Uemura but I had never had the opportunity to actually use any of his products. Well, lucky for me Jose Luis Salon invited me down to experience the “Art of Hair.” I walked into the stunning salon and was immediately greeted with a warm smile from the manager Bill. Bill offered me a glass of wine and led me to my stylist Alisha. Alisha washed and styled my hair with Shu Uemura’s volumizing shampoo and condtioner and curled my hair with a round brush leaving it with the old-Hollywood-style curls. For all you curly girls out there be sure to pick up the new Cotton Uzu Cream which actually has little bits of cotton fibers in it to add extra texture to the hair, it is amazing and had my curls bouncing away for the rest of the day.
