Gel Salon: Style Up

Good news and not so good

missy — Tue, 20 May 2008 16:39:30 +0000

First the good: we've got a new stylist at Gel. Her name is Wendy, and she's got an amazing sense of style. Anyone looking for a makeover that includes a fresh, funky cut or color needs to make an appointment. Stay posted for her bio, as soon as we can connect on it for publication.

And now the not so: yeah, you know how soaring gas prices are driving up the cost of virtually everything else? Sadly, at Gel we are not immune. After 5 years on the corner here we'll be forced to raise our prices on some services, like colors & highlighting. However, we're holding the line on cuts (at least for now). I wish I could say they'll come down when gas prices do, but most experts (at least those in touch with reality) say that's not likely to happen.

May is perfect time for a new bike--from where . . . ?

missy — Wed, 30 Apr 2008 21:36:40 +0000

From Gel, of course! For all you craigslist crawlers, you may already know that I've got a whole bunch of great Schwinns, Raleighs, and other vintage (and just old and interesting) bikes for sale. One of them has YOUR name on it, too (haha). Or at least it COULD. So if you're in the shop getting a new style or just want to get out there and cruise Park Ave or wherever you might be, check them out. I'll be glad to show you one of these lovingly restored or yet-to-be restored bikes. BTW, I do all the loving restoration, in case you managed to escape that fact.

Email appointments are back in business!

missy — Tue, 15 Apr 2008 17:21:41 +0000

No, we weren't ignoring you. The Gel website was having technical difficulties. For, like a month (sorry!) Our web designer/adminstrator, Stephanie, recently noticed the problem and alerted us that emails to make appointments were not getting thru. She has fixed the problem (yea Steph!), so you can send me, Ruti, Amiee, or David your appointment requests. we promise to reply this time. view any site page for appointment form on the left.

Hope to hear from you soon.

Coming Soon: Thermafuse

iioeo — Sat, 16 Feb 2008 19:16:48 +0000

When I found out that Pureology was not going to be available to us any more, I started looking for the next new thing out there. I think it's thermafuse. Here's what caught my attention: "it's the smart way to treat heat-styled hair. " Here's the deal according to their product info: They're the only haircare formulas specifically designed to work with the heat of your blow dryer. They actually protect and improve the health, look, and feel of your hair every time you blow dry. Thermafuse uses a HeatSmart Complex, a revolutonary new technology that does 2 amazing things at once: 1. Heal & repair--a blend of deep conditioning proteins, ceramides, amino acids, and plant extracts easily absorb into every thristy strand, to nourish, revive and renew. 2. Protect & prevent--silicone molecules link together to stand guard against heat-styling and chemical-service damage.

There are 5 formulas--Hydrate Moisture, Protein Strength, Weightless Volume, Fade-free Color Care, and even Dandruff Thermadan. and they have treatments and styling products, too. We can't wait to start working with them.

HEY LOVE BIRDS

Missy got us "curbside" take out service from Pittsford Wegmans last night for a Valentine’s treat. I was bowled over by the SUPERB quality of the food (sorry Johannes). We both felt like V.I.Ps.

so it was kind of a shock to find out that the service is kind of a too well-kept secret since it is SO convenient and SO good. We just couldn’t get over the prices, the caliber of the food: (apps—Lamb Lollipops), and the Seafood Bar (Wild Shrimp & Scallops). YUM!

In other news, look for our new product line coming SOON @ GEL

back from Pittsburgh

iioeo — Mon, 28 Jan 2008 19:19:07 +0000

Had to miss the weekend to go to Pittsburgh for Missy's stepmom's birthday. we brought all the food, drink, and major present. great time was had by all. on the way back got smacked around on rt. 79 with high winds and whiteout conditions. sad to hear that yesterday it was bad in Rochester, too. my heart goes out to the families of the victim and the other people involved in the 36-car pile-up on 390.

so it's good to be back, thought I'd get some hair done, then bang, my son gets hit in the parking lot. Maybe later it'll be better.
