Ryan and Kate are not just Master Stylists at ARS. They are also Redken Artists. What does this mean? It means they have taken extensive classes at The Redken Exchange and go into other Redken Salons and teach the stylists how to cut/color/use products properly. I am so thrilled to announce that they are taking education by the horns and leading all of the young/new (and OLD!) talents at ARS into their careers the right way.

There is a little more happening than just hair color and blowouts @phillysalon. We have specialized in men's hair for quite some time. Now our barbering haircut doesn't have a gender-specific title like Men's Haircut. In Philadelphia, it really doesn't need to be gender-specific. But barbering techniques, if from a barber or not are still classic techniques that we have mastered. FREE NECK TRIM
Three women last month received makeovers at a Gayborhood salon to boost their confidence in the workplace.
To celebrate 10 years in business, Andre Richard Salon partnered with Career Wardrobeto offer hair and makeup services to the latter’s clients. Career Wardrobe is a nonprofit social enterprise that provides professional-development programs as well as clothing at no cost via referral or for a small fee. The organization assists in boosting individuals’ confidence during their job search.
Drea Richard, owner of Andre Richard Salon, said the point of these makeovers was to make the women “look good and feel good.
“Not everyone knows how good they can look because they may not know how to do it and then once they get them there, they open up,” said Richard, who is trans.
Richard noted that the three women “lit up” after receiving their makeovers.
“The girls have been through a lot and the makeovers really kind of boosted them up and Career Wardrobe is amazing. They are really helping them.”
In addition to providing the space for the makeovers, Andre Richard Salon also donated 20 percent of proceeds from the salon’s blowout services to Career Wardrobe throughout December. The final donation amount was not available by presstime.
Jackie Schrauger, Career Wardrobe’s program director, said most of the organization’s clients are single moms who “don’t really get a chance to focus on themselves.”
“Taking time to go to a salon and spend money and time there on themselves instead of on their children is often something that they don’t get to do. It was really exciting that someone extended that kind of service to our clients and gave them that chance to feel special.”
The three clients — Nicole Brinson, Melissa McDermott and Tyiraeen Propst-Heath — were not available for comment but Schrauger said she thinks the makeovers on Dec. 19 “helped immensely.”
“From knowing these three clients pretty well, they have definitely faced some adversity in their lives — whether it’s personal or struggling to find a job that’s a good fit with a family-sustaining wage. I think having someone take the time to make them feel beautiful and focus on themselves for a little while instead of worrying about their kids or other things like that, I think was a huge boost.
“If you’ve ever gotten your hair done or gotten a really great new outfit, you leave feeling like a new person. I think all of them definitely got a boost of feeling a little more polished, a little more professional while feeling like they’ve been fussed over for a little while. All of those things definitely go a long way toward making someone feel a lot more confident and ready to get back out there.”
Almost a month after the makeover, the women are starting to see results. Schrauger said one of the clients is continuing to attend job-fair readiness workshops at Career Wardrobe and is continuing to network at various fairs.
Additionally, Career Wardrobe ultimately hired McDermott as a sales assistant.
“She’s part-time for now but hopefully in the future, we’ll be able to expand her hours. She certainly was confident in her interview with us,” Schrauger said. “I think having a boost from having had a makeover and a positive experience with us definitely gave her the confidence to help nail that job interview.”

Joey showed the ARS team some tricks of the trade where it deals with barbering techniques. From gender-neutral folk to men and women alike they all qualify for the old school barbering methods. Maybe it's a bald fade, undercut, brow trim, or a good old fashion mohawk these techniques will eventually apply to the everyday person on some level. You may not need a mohawk but a balanced haircut is a must!
The team rallied around and observed while asking questions about the tools of the trade and when to use them.
From trimming the top, fading, and carving in that temporpary part Joey covered all the bases!
We also talked about mens hair care, too. Mens fashion and hair care are not a lost art and we know it.
Did you know that Redken released Redken Brews
this week? Don't miss this or you'll be sorry!
PHILADELPHIA (WTXF) - A local organization is giving back with the gift of confidence by providing makeovers to people in need of a confidence boost.
Before we could even ask the first question it was clear that talking about overcoming obstacles during the holidays was going to be hard for Nicole Brinson.
“I had my three kids which my husband wanted, we’ve been together since I was ten years old, only person I was ever with. When I was 27 he passed away from an asthma attack when he was 28,” Nicole explained.
“I suffered from addiction trying to numb my pain, I also felt like I wasn’t worth nothing so I didn’t want to be here. I thought my kids were better off with somebody else,” she added.
But, Nicole found people who cared about her. She worked with Career Wardrobe who helps with job training and professional clothing and this holiday season, things are getting better.
So what do you give someone who’s had a rough year, worked hard to overcome and looking to start 2018 on a positive note? Drea Richard of Andre Richard salon says maybe you give them hope.
“I’m doing it because this is the best way I know how to give back. Giving the gift of beauty,” Drea explained.
Drea and her Salon decided to give makeovers today to Melissa, Tyiraeen, and Nicole. They all worked closely with Career Wardrobe and are all now ready to pursue a career. And what do you need to start that career or ace that job interview?
All of the recipients said confidence goes a long way.
On @FOX29philly #news at 11. Nicole’s husband died suddenly & sent her into a tailspin. Now she’s trying to recover & get a job. A local salon @PhillySalon and organization @careerwardrobe helped by giving her a makeover for upcoming job interviews #forgoodnesssake #wegothere pic.twitter.com/ltk3doYYuR
— Bill Anderson (@BillAFox29) December 20, 2017
Everyone’s story wasn’t as tragic as Nicole’s. Tyireaan wants to start a business and needed an edge, Melissa just wants some stability. But as superficial as it may seem to some, you could see the transformation they went through in just a few hours.
Drea said your appearance can change everything.
“You kind of clean some of the clutter out of the way and you get to see who you really are,” Drea said.
The before and after pics were startling and the positive feelings of all of the young women put a smile on everyone’s face.
Drea Richard and Career Wardrobe in some small way helped these three women on their way with the gift of confidence, For Goodness Sake.

At the Andre Richard Salon, stylists are primping with a purpose.
“We can’t just pack our stuff and go there to volunteer, but we can do a lot with our two hands here,” said owner Drea Richard.
Richard promised to donate every penny from salon services between the hours of 2 and 5 to the Harvey relief efforts.
It’s a gesture that touched the heart of a customer, and Texas native named Nicole.
“I was very pleasantly surprised, being from Austin, to find out that all the proceeds today are going to relief. That was actually really cool,” she said.
Stylist Kate Curran is working for free and couldn’t be happier about it.
“It’s just nice to be able to do something. You know, real life goes on here. This is the little that we can do,” said Curran.
And, she says, it’s nice to work in a place that cares so much about doing the right thing.

Ryan Rodgers - Master Stylist @phillysalon gave us a detailed class on the lightening systems offered by Redken and at ARS along with some foil highlighting techniques. Ryan is a Redken Artist.
That means when he is not with us creating magic behind the chair at ARS he is visiting salons in the tri-state area teaching Redken hair color and products to industry professionals.
Some team members of ARS gathered on a Sunday evening bringing their talent and questions to a foil blonding workshop.
The team broke into groups with specific assignments to gather information about their topic of blonding. Powder, oil, and cream lighteners are all a part of Redken and André Richard Salon's hair bleaching and hair lifting tools.
After each group gathered and researched they presented the facts they pulled from the Redken guide book.
Then we applied the color in an assigned highlighting pattern that Ryan gave them.
In the end we were able to present questions and answers to be properly armed with what type of lightening product we will use and the foil pattern best suited for YOU the best client for the best hair salon in Philadelphia!
There are so many important things to know about keratin. We hope this information is helpful!
Keratin is a protein found naturally in skin, hair, and nails, in addition to other sources. In human hair, it acts both as an external protective shield and an internal structural protein. Keratin is the first thing depleted when hair is damaged physically, chemically, or from environmental factors such as the sun.
Keratin Complex’s signature keratin is comparable to the keratin present in human hair. When used in product formulations, keratin helps condition, strengthen, revitalize, and repair the damage. Keratin gives the hair shine, elasticity, and a more youthful, healthy appearance.
Keratin Complex Smoothing Therapy treatments are professional smoothing treatments powered by our signature keratin. All treatments are performed in-salon by a professional stylist. Smoothing Therapy treatments repair damage and breakage, reduce frizz, curl, and unruly flyaways, and make the hair smoother and healthier-looking. They also prevent humidity, the main cause of frizz, from impacting the hair. After a Smoothing Therapy treatment, it’s easier to achieve a flawless blowout at home: The hair is more manageable, blow-drying becomes quicker and easier, and daily styling time is significantly reduced.
Keratin Complex offers smoothing solutions for every hair type that cater to the desired result, cost, longevity, waiting period and time in-salon. We recommend that you first undergo a consultation with a Keratin Complex stylist to decide which treatment is best for you. Ask your stylist about our Menu of Services, which offers customizable Keratin Complex treatments to meet your specific needs.
Our signature in-salon smoothing services reduce frizz and curl, improve overall manageability and versatility, and make hair smoother, shinier, and healthier-looking.
Keratin Complex Smoothing Therapy treatments utilize a simple, four-step process. Your stylist will first use a special deep-clarifying shampoo to prepare the hair for treatment and to remove residue and buildup resulting from previous hair care products. Next, the selected smoothing treatment is applied; the hair is blow-dried and then flat ironed, sealing in the treatment for a smooth, silky finish. Steps may vary depending on the service performed.
Keratin Complex Smoothing Therapy treatments are not straightening treatments. Smoothing Therapy treatments reduce curl patterns in curly, wavy or unruly hair, thus providing a straightening effect without permanently changing the structure of the hair. In addition to being easier to maintain after treatment, your hair will have the versatility to be styled curly, wavy or straight as desired.
It is important to discuss your goals with your stylist to understand the overall results you can expect to achieve with a Smoothing Therapy treatment.
Treatment longevity may vary depending on the selected treatment, your individual lifestyle, and your at-home maintenance regimen. Natural Keratin Smoothing Treatment and Natural Keratin Smoothing Treatment for Blonde Hair deliver results that last up to five months; Express Blow Out results last up to six weeks, and Advanced Glycolic Smoothing System results last up to three months. Consistent use of Keratin Complex keratin-enhanced products, including our collection of sodium chloride-free and sulfate-free shampoos and conditioners, will help prolong the results of your treatment.
To promote the longest-lasting results, Natural Keratin Smoothing Treatment and Natural Keratin Smoothing Treatment for Blonde Hair requires a 72-hour waiting period before shampooing. After an Express Blow Out treatment, we recommend a waiting period of at least eight hours before shampooing.
You may extend the waiting period if desired after Natural Keratin Smoothing Treatment, Natural Keratin Smoothing Treatment for Blonde Hair or Express Blow Out without affecting your results. You may also use Keratin Complex Volumizing Dry Shampoo Lift Powder at any time during the waiting period to absorb excess oil, remove odors, and refresh hair and scalp.
There is no waiting period after Advanced Glycolic Smoothing System. You may shampoo, condition, and style as desired after treatment.
Your stylist will recommend the best treatment for you based on your lifestyle, hair type, and desired results.
If your hair gets wet in the waiting period following a Smoothing Therapy treatment, simply blow-dry and flat iron on low heat as soon as possible.
There is no waiting period following the Advanced Glycolic Smoothing System treatment; if your hair does get wet after treatment, it will not impact your result
Prices depend on a variety of factors, including the selected treatment, the density and length of the hair, and choice of salon. Contact your salon for specific pricing.
As with any chemical service, pregnant or nursing women should seek the advice of their physician before use.
Keratin Complex does not conduct animal testing and does not test its product formulations on animals.
Hair may be lightened or colored on the same day that a Smoothing Therapy treatment is performed. Your stylist will make the proper recommendation and provide additional information during your consultation.
Take it from us: we know a thing or two about a busy lifestyle! So, if you’re running around from dawn until dusk - shouldn’t your hairstyle work with your lifestyle? Color Melting is the answer to your prayers! It’s the process of creating a natural blend throughout your hair, and it’s easy to maintain so you can rock your roots, without anyone really noticing or be bold – and add a bright color at your hair’s helm!
Color Melting uses two or three shades and diffuses them together. The
mixture blurs any type of traditional line color. Usually, hues are in the same palette or family in order to achieve the most natural blend between shades.
The amazing thing about Color Melting is that there are endless possibilities! Whether you want shades of browns and golds for autumn, or wish to make a statement with palettes of pink in support of Breast Cancer Awareness, you have complete freedom! You can go from dark to light or light to dark. For a low maintenance hairstyle: you can keep the crown of the hair a deeper so that it mirrors the natural hair. Then, as the color works down the strands, it will gradually become lighter. Or to make more of a statement, you may opt to start brighter at the roots and work to darker ends.
We are hosting an upcoming workshop and you could be our star! We are on the hunt for natural blondes who would like to be pretty in pink! If you’re interested, message us right away!

The principles of hair coloring help lay the foundation for the work that we produce. Today met with a select group of team members to talk about these principles with Redken Hair Color and Ryan Rodgers - Redken Educator.
Balayage became known sometime in the 1970's and over the past 10 years has been a rising trend. We began teaching balayage and ombré techniques at ARS in 2010. Babylights is a foil technique that takes a lot of time but the results are natural like a babys blonde!
Redken sent in a top educator from NYC. Arielle helped us with placement and also focused on which Redken lightener to use for the desired result.
