A Rugged Elegance Inspiration Network Exclusive by Jennifer King
If you're looking for a place to give your hair the royal treatment, Pacific Heights' Renaissance Salon on the corner of Sacramento and Steiner is one Rugged Elegance Place of Taste to consider.
Renaissance owner, Christine O'Neil has teamed with L'Oréal to bring her clients the world's most advanced, Parisian hair treatments created by KÉRASTASE. Renaissance is one of only twelve salons in San Francisco that offers these professional luxury hair treatments.
In 1964, The Professional Luxury Hair Treatment Institute was founded by Francois Dalle, CEO of L'Oréal. In 1999, their USA presence was launched. By 2002, Kerastase became recognized as the #1 Luxury Haircare Treatment in the World with $260 million in global sales.
The bottom line...Kerastase knows how to restore balance to hair.
All of the stylists at Renaissance have been professionally trained to know which of the four treatments to prescribe.
Today, Virginia Christensen, who has been at Renaissance for two years, determined that my hair needed the "Aqua-Oleum" treatment which included Lait Vital Proteine followed by Nutri-Liss and Serum Nutri-Instant. Made with avocado and jojoba oils, these "nourishing ritual" products contain emollient oils which penetrate more deeply into the cuticle layer of the hair than traditional conditioning emulsions.
The total cost for a Kerastase treatment which is expected to last up to twelve shampoos: $30.
An unexpected bonus was the personalized Tao massage which made my time in the salon more like a spa experience than an extra-conditioning tied to my weekly wash and blow dry.
Now, I'm ready for my big night on the town and celebration at
Hawthorne Lane!
