Gentlemen Prefer..."Manscaping" Services at Jesamondo Salon & Spa


Men Deserve Salon & Spa Treatments Too
Jesamondo Salon & Spa proudly offers services and treatments specifically designed for men-from hair reshading to manicures/pedicures, massage treatments, and more. Here's a glimpse of what we offer to help you look and feel your finest.


Hair Reshading:
There’s nothing wrong with graying hair, but if you’re not ready for nature to take its course, we have a simple solution—Goldwell's Men Reshade. It’s a quick and easy hair treatment that effectively covers the grays that you’d prefer to hide for a few more years. Unlike full hair color treatments, Goldwell's Men Reshade restores your natural color, covers the grays, and takes only 5 minutes! For a fresher and more youthful appearance, reshade your hair today. Only your stylist will know…



Haircuts:
Men’s haircuts, complete with a luxurious wash and head massage, are perfect for relaxing and keeping hair tamed and well groomed.

MANicure/Pedicure:
From refined CEOs to pro sports players, or any man who wants to look well groomed, manicures and pedicures are the perfect solution for neat looking hands and feet. There's nothing like a warm foot bath and calf massage at the end of a busy day.



Men's Refining Facial:
With facial hair, men often experience in-grown hairs that itch and can be painful. A soothing, refining facial is the perfect solution for calming these irritations.


Men's Massage:
After a long hectic day, de-stress with a relaxing massage. Choose from deep tissue to a lighter intensity Swedish massage, depending on your needs.


Chest and Back Waxing:
Unlike Steve Carrell's experience in The 40 Year Old Virgin, our expertly trained staff minimize the pain involved in stripping away unwanted hair from the chest and back regions, leaving smooth, sexy skin behind. 



Goldwell Salon Products for Men:
Specifically created for men, Goldwell produced a line of products that are of the highest quality that’s consistent with the brand, but with a more masculine scent. DualSense Hair & Body by Goldwell is a favorite among our clients, with a unique scent just for men. Try their other products too!


THE JESAMONDO MAN CARD:
Just in time for the holidays, give the Jesamondo Man Card for a luxurious spa or salon treatment. Like our other gift cards, you can add cash in any denomination that can be used for any of our services.



Jesamondo Salon & Spa is here and ready to help with all your "man-scaping" needs-we look forward to seeing you soon!

Sincerely,
The Team at Jesamondo Salon & Spa

Fall 2015 Trend Report: Marvelous Manes & Fresh Makeup

If you've been observing the fall runway shows and have have watched the latest award ceremonies, it's clear that hair trends for 2015/2016 showcase a range of lengths, colors, and styles, with exciting makeup to match. We've included some of our favorites in this blog and hope they'll inspire you if you're considering a change or just want to see what's new on the street and the runways. 

Lady Gaga rocked a retro glam bob at the Emmys, and looks spectacular in this specific style that frames her face nicely and showcases her beautiful features. This is pure Hollywood glam from a past era, but we’re happy to see its resurgence.

Sienna Miller looks unruly and sassy with her sweet wavy style at the Burberry Prorsum fashion show. This edgy look incorporates a shoulder-grazing cut with loose waves that’s nothing short of sexy, fun, and playful.

Kristin Stewart takes on a “punk chic” look with her straight, slicked back ‘do that’s effortless and stylish.

Rachel McAdams looks adorable with her more whimsical short bob that takes on a life of its own—lots of movement as a result of multi-layering.

Zendaya Coleman was all about classic glamour with her voluminous curls at the Miss America Pageant 2015, where she was one of a handful of judges. Her side swept curls are nothing short of elegant chic.


Elizabeth Olsen is looking sophisticated and chic in her golden “Lob,” and shockingly similar to her older twin siblings of fashion and Hollywood fame.

Kate Bosworth looks divine in her mid-length “Lob” that’s sleek and straight and oh so simple to care for.


For those who still cherish their long tresses and aren't quite ready to take the leap, check out the following gorgeous looks. 

No “lobs” for Serena Williams in her glossy, flat-ironed tresses that are sleek and sexy. Game on for this girl!


Luxe locks for Salma Hayek with her feathery, layered mid-length style. The look is carefree and effortless.


How can you not love the dramatic side sweep of luscious, curly strands sported by Nina Agdal at the Michael Kors Fragrance launch? With mermaid-like waves her hair and beauty is the source of all envy.


Camilla Belle totally rocks in her slicked back ponytail at the Michael Kors Frangrance launch.



Naomi Campbell is still smoking hot with her long wavy cut and wispy bangs.


Hair Color Forecast for Fall 2015

Ombré remains popular, bold streaks of color, and “babylights”—a technique of painting on highlights in smaller sections to mimic the natural effects of sunbathed hair—are all hot trends seen on the streets and the runways. Luxurious, warm colors that are ideal for fall and cooler months ahead include darker blondes and golds, deep browns, rich reds and coppers, are all sharing the limelight.

And then there’s the more unique shades of the rainbow that are the craze of the moment…think “My Little Pony,” and unicorns.

Angel babyEva Longoria looks purely angelic in her “babylights.”


Dark chocolate—good for the body and the hair, as illustrated on Katie Holmes— looking radiant in her mid-length “lob.”

You’re as cold as Ice…Gwen Stephanie warms up her icy-white blonde hair with “buttercup” at the roots and tips to keep her platinum locks looking cool instead of  brassy.

My Blue Heaven…If you’re a celebrity or Marge Simpson, you can pull off the blue haired look. For the rest of us, there are more subtle and work appropriate effects we can achieve with blue tints on dark hair that provide a striking effect. Check out Nicole Richie with her blue tints interwoven with her dark brown hair, capturing just enough of the blue highlights for spectacular color play results.


“Bronde,” is a newly coined term inspired by blondes who are edging their way toward the dark side…but not too dark. Blake Lively is a master at this one, and she pulls it off beautifully.

Duchess of Cambridge, Kate Middleton, is another icon sporting the new “bronde” look very tastefully.

And then there’s the unicorn/My Little Pony brigade, otherwise known as “rainbow hair,” which can be seen everywhere these days—from morning co-host Kelly Ripa of The Kelly & Michael Show, to pop stars including Kesha and Katie Perry, among numerous others.

Julianne Hough looks lovely in her blonde based hair with pinkish overall strands.

Katie Perry with black roots and amethyst locks – maybe she’s seeking the role of “Ursula” in The Little Mermaid?

Pop icon, Kesha, sports the rainbow effect incorporating pink, blue, purple and green as she hops onto this bold statement trend. This one is aptly named the “opal effect,” with glints and glimmers of a range of cotton candy hues.

Whatever the color choice you make for your hair, what’s hot on the makeup front to match these wonderfully bold cuts and colors?


Fall 2015 boasts a range of exciting and warm color palettes to match and complement the exotic hair trends of the season—many of which you probably already noticed on the celebs featured. Here’s what celebrity makeup artist, Stacey Frasca shares with us for top trends for fall using her line of makeup-Studio 28 Cosmetics, available at Jesamondo Salon & Spa:

LIP SERVICE:
  • Burgundy red lip color called "Viva" is warm, versatile, and works with everything
  • Dark plum lip color called "Plumberry" is more saturated color with purple overtones
  • Matte brick red lip color called "Crimson" is daring, alluring, and the raciest of them all!







FOR YOUR EYES ONLY:

  • Liquid eye shimmers offer a metallic glow that's on trend this season and these beauties--"Chrome," "Purity," and "Treasure"--can be used on lids as an eye shadow, over another shadow for a hint of metallic, or on cheeks and lips. The shimers last for up to 18 hours and are waterproof

  • Neutral Eye Shadow Trios have a touch of the metallic glimmer in each, making them perfect for the holidays. As an added bonus, the trio comes with a free makeup bag

 


MADE YOU BLUSH!

For fall freshness, try "Playful" or "Mauvelous" - they're the perfect finishing touch for everyday beauty

Frazzled Over Frizz? Keratin, take me away…

                                 






















Summer is supposed to be for carefree fun in the sun, and given the short season in New England, we take advantage of every second of it by being outside. But like many, when the air becomes dense with moisture, hair drinks it up like a sponge—resulting in frizz and other unruly disasters. What’s a girl to do?

Keratin treatments are a popular solution, but these days, with all the options available, it’s hard to know which one is best. The answer? It all depends on the desired result—straight, smooth and flat? Keep the curl but lose the frizz? Which lasts the longest and is the most recommended? So many questions, so little time.

Photo by Goldwell®


To demystify the confusion, let’s start with the options and differentiators for each. As a Goldwell® salon, Jesamondo Salon & Spa offers three types of keratin treatments: Keratin Complex by Coppola, Brazilian Blowout Treatment, and Goldwell® Kerasilk® Keratin Treatment.

First and foremost, there is no right or wrong choice, but it’s best to consult your stylist for advice since the results are slightly different for each type of treatment. Depending on your hair texture, lifestyle, and the result you’re seeking, she/he can help you select the treatment that’s best for you.

Depicted as a “miracle” solution for unruly locks, keratin beautifies any type of hair—from African American to color-treated and bleached hair. Anyone who spends hours blow-drying and flat-ironing in hopes of loosening and straightening their curls, is a good candidate. So what’s the difference between each? Read on…




Keratin Complex by Coppola contains keratin proteins. It was the first of the keratin treatments to hit the market creating straighter, shinier and healthier hair. The process takes about 2-3 hours depending on hair type and length, and the hair cannot be washed, put into a ponytail or even tucked behind the ears for 72 hours. It lasts for 3-5 months depending on how often the hair is washed each week. As with all keratin treatments, it’s imperative to use the specific shampoo and conditioners created for each type of keratin treatment. Keratin Complex requires products that contain keratin protein in them for the best results.

Cost: $350
Down time: 72 hours


Brazilian Blowout Treatment differs from Keratin Complex in that it contains amino acids to control the frizz and create the same smoothing effects. As with the other treatments, the proper shampoo and conditioners must be used—in this case, the products must contain amino acids. Like Keratin Complex, the process takes around 2-3 hours, but you can wash and do anything with your hair after 24 hours. The treatment lasts for 3-5 months depending on how often the hair is washed each week.

Cost: $300
Downtime: 24 hours


Goldwell® Kerasilk® Keratin Treatment differs from other treatments given a new technology the company has created. Keratin protein is used but unlike other treatments, it’s customizable for each client and their specific desired result. It can smooth and retain the shape of curls while completely de-frizzing the hair, leaving it soft and full of volume. For those who love their curly locks but hate the frizz and don’t want completely straight hair, this is the ideal treatment. There’s a wide spectrum of looks that can be achieved with this new treatment. And best of all? There’s NO DOWN TIME! The hair is washed before the client leaves the salon and is sealed with Goldwell® Kerasilk® Sealing Serum so it’s ready to wash and style at any time. The results last 3 to 5 months, depending on how often the hair is shampooed each week.

Cost: $375
Downtime: NONE!

With all keratin treatments, the hair becomes stronger, shinier, and dries faster, which is why people especially love it during the summer. While our clients select different treatments for various reasons, we’re finding that many are opting for Goldwell® Kerasilk® Keratin Treatment because it can be customized for their needs without the hassle of any down time.

Here’s what some of our clients are saying:

“My hair is so soft and manageable. It dries faster and is finally frizz-free all summer long! I love it!!”
-       Ashley H.


“I love how healthy my hair looks and feels. I’m so happy to leave the salon with the hair I’ve always wanted—sleek, thick hair that’s soft but has volume. I’ve tried other keratin treatments in the past, but my hair looked so straight and thin that I never did it again. I’m totally in love with the Keratin Kerasilk treatment because I got exactly what I wanted. Thank you, Michelle! Look at my before & after photos. Remarkable.”
-       Lisa R.
