Listen to Kevin Cooper’s Story on Growing His Hair and Donating it

We have a Texas Cosmetology Salon – or in the old vernacular and Beauty Salon or Beauty Shop in Sherman, Texas that is part of Bella Fontana Spa. We call it the Bella SpaDiva Salon. We had a client in today, August 27, 2011, that is donating his hair to Locks of Love.

At the beginning of the process we took a video of Kevin Cooper before to commemorate his beautiful hair! Then off to the salon for one of our stylists to perform the hair cut preserving as much hair for donation as possible, then styling it to transition to grow it again to donate to Locks of Love. The transitional hair style is important because Kevin intends to grow another ten inches to donate again. Since his hair will initially have some layers, we will trim the hair every few weeks to bring it back to a blunt cut at shoulder length and trim to keep it healthy for another three years of growth.

 

 

Why is Kevin Cooper donating his hair? Listen to his story:

 

 

When cutting for donations, we begin the cut to preserve the most length possible to donate so that it can be worked into the wigs and hairpieces for children that are cancer patients. Here is Kevin Cooper’s example of the initial cut. Then the hair style is designed around the shortest remaining pieces to transition to grow again for donation or to the style of your choice. Please consider the adjustment you will make when going from long to short. 10 inches are required for donation, although Locks of Love will use shorter amounts in the hair trade to help fund the organization. Here is the Locks of Love policy statement on using shorter hair:

Shorter hair will be separated from the ponytails and sold to offset the manufacturing costs. Although the shorter hair cannot be used in the hairpieces, it still greatly helps to reduce costs.

 

 

We hope you will try our stylists and come back for your color, highlights, manicures and pedicures because we can do it all during your appointment time. Save your gas and your drive time and enjoy yourself at the Spa while you are getting your hair cut, hair color and manicure and pedicure all within a couple of hours. We have three hour parking on the downtown Sherman, Texas on Travis St. and Jones St. and longer term parking in spots 1-4 and 10-13 in the Sherman Fire Department Parking Lot on Travis and Jones. Just do not park in the restricted Sherman Police Department Parking lot. Observe the laws and the signs. Please call our Concierge Desk for questions and assistance at 903.893.6222.

Spa Pedicures that are safe for Diabetics

We use a special product line in our pedicures and manicures that not only inhibits fungal and tuberculoidal infection, but soften the skin and easily reduces calluses and heel cracks.

How Footlogix™ works

Foot Care Mousse with Dermal Integration Technology. Footlogix™ mousse incorporates the latest groundbreaking technology called Dermal Integration Technology™ (DIT). DIT is a patented trans-dermal technology that allows the active ingredients in Footlogix™ to penetrate faster and deeper into the skin than any other product. Footlogix™ mousse closely mimics the skin’s own composition, enabling it to gently penetrate the outer layers of the skin. By doing so, Footlogix™ mousse moisturizes with maximum efficiency. Ensuring hydration is provided to the layers that require it is the secret to healthy, happy, well cared for feet. It supplements, rejuvenates, moisturizes and repairs the epidermis, creating a non-occlusive, long-lasting barrier on the feet, allowing the skin to transpire normally. Footlogix™ mousse is completely and quickly absorbed into the skin. It forms a safe protective barrier just below the skin’s surface leaving no excess or greasy residue. The skin’s overall health improves quickly – visible results are evident within days and continue to build with on-going use. This product is available for your purchase in our Bella Boutique in several treatment levels ranging from dry skin to cracked heels with risk of fungus.

Footlogix™ footbath can be used on the entire body, but is especially useful for cleaning and softening hands and feet. If you have problems with your cuticles, or cracked heels and are at risk of fungal or other infection, you will want to purchase this product for home use. One or two drops in the bath will soften you head to toe. Combine with a scrub for gentle exfoliation for even deeper penetration and follow with the Foot Care Mousse.You can find this product in our Bella Boutique.

Are Pedicures Really Safe? We put our hands in there too!

There are risks inherent in every activity, and for generally healthy clients, the risks associated with a pedicure are very small indeed.  By generally healthy, I am including anyone who’s immune system is functioning normally and your Doctor is the best person to help you assess the status of your health.

At Bella Fontana Spa, we help protect your health by using a special foot soak that is anti-bacterial and anti-fungal.  It contains urea, salicylic acid and aloe vera, among other ingredients that cleanse and help soften calluses.  According to the manufacturer, some of the retail products, especially the Anti-Fungal Formula 7, contains 1% Clotrimazole. an anti-fungal agent that relieves itching, scaling, cracking, burning, redness and irritation associated with fungus, including ringworm and athlete’s foot and protects the feet from picking it up in the first place.  The moisturizing and anti-fungal formulas use a dermal integration technology, DIT, that allows the product to penetrate easier and faster into the skin.  The mousse mimics the skins own composition closely and contains CoEnzyme Q10 and urea making it the most effective moisturizer available.  Read more about Footlogix.

Recently, SpaBoom put an entry on their blog about Pedicures, and I commented:

Think about the fungal and bacterial load at the gym, department store carpet in the shoe department, and the parasites in the lake or your own front yard. Our first line of defense, as wonderful as many of the smell and feel good products out there, is a specialty anti-bacterial and anti-fungal foot soak. We also use EPA rated anti-bacterial, anti-tuberculoidal and anti-fungal sanitizer in our pipeless pedicure stations. We have an autoclave, disposable tools and more all to keep our clients safe. Unless a client has a compromised immune system, our pedicures are as safe as any other activity. Sure, there are risks like a nick or cut for both the client and the technician. Take care of the customer and reassure them you are using the best products to protect them. Clients, please ask about the sanitation protocols and take good care of your feet everywhere you go!

It is important to me that you feel safe and know that I am doing everything I can to take care of your health and well being.  In my judgment, pedicures are safe in an environment that is conscientious about cleaning their equipment and implements, or uses disposables, and uses products that facilitate protecting and caring for your skin.  There are risks, but the risks under these conditions are typically a nick or cut that can become infected without care, abrasions or infection or other injury that is no greater than what you might expect at your local gym, on the beach, in your backyard or medical office.  Remember, we put our hands on your feet and in those bowls too!
