Organic color is here!

All Natural -
Wheat Protein • Green Seaweed • NO Parabens • NO Ammonia • NO Animal Testing • NO Staining the skin

Colleen Marcella, owner of Bellezza Salons, talks about certifiably organic color. Certified-Organic Hair Color
is made of natural Pure Oils and Keratin Protein to allow for a gentler penetration of hair color pigment with
greater depth and intensity of color. This Sulfate free, cream base produces less fadage, even with reds, longerlasting
color, and healthier hair. The new color is above and beyond . The Special “Maximum Pigment System” and
“Microprotein System” are what make this the professional hair color very different from other brands. Organic
Hair Color uses an unusual amount of extra conditioning agents to leave hair in superior condition and with a
greater deposit of color. The Maximum Pigment System utilizes a double pigment system that ensures longer
lasting hair color which creates more dimension, more depth, and much less fading. The organic Color offers 100%
gray coverage, the most natural looking neutrals, and creates the ultimate high lift blondes, ultra-vibrant selection
of reds, incredible tones and a beautiful array of shimmering translucent shades with gorgeous results. The all-
Natural formula provides long-lasting results and increased manageability and shine. Also, we have a complete
range of color care organic products too! All so exciting and healthy!

For more information, visit our salons and see a color specialist!


Organic Color Contains some of the best natural ingredients to produce a gentle color which gives superb
results every time. Natural soothing and anti-inflammatory agents such as certifired organic chamomile
{Anthemis Nobilis} and certified organic comfrey {Symphytum Officinale} and antioxidants that slow down or
prevent oxidative reactions in the body. Although necessary for life, oxygen is a highly reactive molecule which
can cause damage by producing free radicals. Antioxidants prevent and repair damage done to the body by
these free radicals.Organic color includes the natural antioxidants certified organic orange {Citrus Dulcis} and
grapefruit {Citrus Grandis}, as well as vitamin C and E.

The Conditioning and moisturizing funtion is fulfilled by Hydrolyzed Wheat Protein, which also helps to
strengthen hair.

The organic ingredients have been certified by the Soil Association which is the UK’s leading campaigning
andcertification organization for organic food and farming.

Fresh Start
Ring in the new year by living simply healthy and loving greatly!

When I opened my Salon in 1991 I knew then I had to keep working hard to bring the best in beauty products and continue to educate myself and my fellow co workers so that we may continue to bring it to you, our valued friends.

Going Green was always part of my philosophy and life. The Salons have a lot of Natural lighting and we use energy efficient appliances, like our Whirlpool washers and dryers. I opened with Aveda in 1991, which asas you all know now, is an environmentally friendly company. I will continue to make changes for a safe and healthy beauty business.

As we continue to grow, we’ve experienced many obstacles and dreams! We will completely makeover our Fuller Road Salon from design to daily operations! If you know me at all, as my clients do, you know this is what I live for. You will be pleased to know that our website has some fresh new touches- new Specials and promotions along with new pictures. I would like to introduce some new products along with our Organic Movement! We have Organic Color and Products as well as Organic Teas and Coffee! All very exciting!!

As we slow down and return to our normal schedules, I’d like to say start fresh, slow down, remember what I’m thankful for and those who have touched our lives this year. Refresh, reorganize your homes and closets, give away the things you don’t use to someone who really can use them. Take a moment to appreciate your hometown and the friends you have. Enjoy the cooler air and the beautiful falling snow. It is a time for me to reflect and remember all the guests who make our success. You are the reason we continue to educate and create new techniques in Hair Design and Hair Color. You are the reason we are so passionate about our profession.

Thank you for your continued support, friendship
and business.

Sincerely,
Colleen Marcella

Face Facts
Make Way for Younger-Looking Skin

We all know that regular facials are the key to beautiful skin. But an appointment with the esthetician is often the first thing off our lists when a hectic schedule intervenes. So just how important is that 60 minutes? And do our professional skin care needs change with age? Having a facial after a day at work is a delight. You can relax, and do something good for your skin and for yourself as well. We must take care of our skin and ourselves before we can take care of someone else . . .

Age 20’s
Common Problems:
Oily skin, blackheads and enlarged pores, lack of hydration. Deep pore cleansing is essential at this age, as is rehydration of the skin. There is a greater production of sebum, which can cause blackheads.

Recommended Facial:
Once a month, Bioelements Decongestant Cleaner, T-Zone Monitor or Breakout Control. Restorative clay masque

Age 30’s
Common problems:
Slow cell regeneration, dehydration dry patches of skin. Facials are necessary to promote cell regeneration and rehydration of the skin.

Recommended Facial:
Once a month, Bioelements Moisture Positive Cleaner, Crème Therapy.

Age 40’s
Plus Common problems:
Signs of aging such as wrinkles, slower circulation, slow cell regeneration. Facials should be more massage intensive to improve the circulation of the skin and promote cell regeneration. A home care regime and protection is crucial.

Recommended Facial:
Every three weeks, Bioelements Quick Refiner.
