To start telling you about ISSE starts for me months ahead. I first apply to attend as press. Than I wait about a week to get the ok. I could attend as either a visitor or press. I like to attend the shows to bring back information to my readers and friends, which I do with this site.
Let's start in December.
Living in Vegas is a wonderful place with beautiful people and beautiful families. I love it here.
For the past 20 years I have been searching for him. No not my husband, my hair stylist.
One rule is I don't do my hair and I have tried many many salons on the outskirts of the strip. I never thought about going to the strip to have my hair colored and cut and styled.
Every where I went my hair cut always ended up looking freaky or like the stylist herself. And when I have it colored, no one has the time or patience to color my hair. They loose it because of the amount of hair I have and when I walk out of the salons my color is orange. I have been searching for the one that gives a dam about me! You can spend a full all day in the salon, I haven't. I have never felt comfortable and when I look at my hair, I want to run out the door and go put a towel over my head.
I just stopped going for the last year, I gave up. Until I saw a tweet about him. We all need him or her, the one that cares about the person in the chair.
So after 20 years I found him and them. The man that I can say do it and I know he cares about me and his work. For Him to be able to say with pride, after finishing " wow this looks great! To be proud and not embarrassed that he or she did my hair.
Introducing, My new stylist and my new friend that oh so cared about my hair as soon as he saw me, meet Mr Michael Boychuck
Michael has 3 salons in Vegas,Color at Caesars Palace, Primp Salon at Palms Place and Amp Salon at the Palms.

After I found him online, I searched, read and had heard many great things about his salons. I went Color Salon. The name says it all.
I walked into his beautiful upscale salon greeted by the nicest woman. The salon is all white, and very clean. They offer many services, take a look at the link above.
They sat me down and offered me something to drink. I was a bit nervous, not about getting my hair done, but about meeting Michael. He is an artist to many which include Paris Hilton. Paris I have to say has beautiful hair. He is also the colorist to many beautiful woman, these woman will only let Michael touch their hair.
As I sat there, I looked in the corner of my eye, heart racing, because there he was.
He greeted me with a big smile. If you know or have seen Michael, when he smiles, wow dimples. His face lights up and he has the best smile. Simply Adorable. How could someone so adorable be so talented.
He sat me in my chair and I told him my experience of the dreaded orange hair and weird cuts. He said No this will not happen. You want blonde we will do blonde.
First he did the crown of my head to tone it down. Really fast and easy. His assistant took me to the bowl to rinse, back to blow dry. She is so cute with a personality to match.
He came back and said oh this is going to look beautiful. Highlights next and a full head. Yikes what was he going to say about the amount of hair? Will he be like the rest and I'll be orange.
Then the foils and color came. Michael is a pro and the foils did go faster than I thought. Here is a picture in of us-
He took his time but because this is his experience he move fast.
About 1/2 way though he did mention about all my hair, Only cause they had to mix up another bowl of color. I think he said he used 4 with me and the norm is one or two .I'm so sorry I told him, are your arms or back hurting?
Nope, not at all he said. He said he was fine.
He was just about done with the color. Man I didn't want it to end. He was very gentle and oh so sweet. He did tell me my hair was going to look great.
He finished the color and his lovely assistant brought the dryer to me. "What, I don't have to walk though the salon to a dryer"! Nice. And the dryer fit around my head full of foil, that has never happen. About 20-30 minutes they escorted me to the bowl for a rinse and a treatment. I was anxious to see as they where saying how good it looked.
After the amazing Kerastase professional hair treatment,I sat in a chair where a very pretty lady comb out and asked about the cut. I looked at her and said go ahead and cut but leave me the length. Do what is best for my face shape. She cut and shaped it. Oh No! The color, I quickly got my glasses on and looked as she was drying my hair.
I just about started crying. My hair, No orange and has the most beautiful blonde colors. He didn't make my hair orange. The colors looks absoulty amazing.
She styled it after cutting. Hmm, usually I get it styled and start messing with it because I don't like the style. Nope not now. She styled to my liking. During the cut and style, Michael did come by to look at the color. I think he was a proud papa. I couldn't thank him enough. I thanked everyone there. Others sitting did comment on my hair too.
I got up, tipped, yes yes always tip when you are this happy.
They all deserved it. They treated me like a princess and my hair.
No complaints about my thick hair, no orange color and a cut to match my blonde hair.
I have found my second home. My new colorist and stylist. I should have found them years ago but I didn't look in the right direction.
I do keep tweeting Michael that I will be back.
Color salon had made it so I could attend ISSE and not be embarrassed. I adore them and so did the many people who asked about the color and cut at ISSE.
I want to thank you Michael for the wonderful time and the blonde hair. You are an artist and quite the best one. Your staff is the top in Vegas. I highly recommend anyone to go try the Color salon. You will not regret it.
Now to prepare for my trip to Long Beach. I went and had a great time. Now you want to know more about ISSE and the newest prodcuts and services you can receive from your stylist, or some that should be at your salon, skincare hairtools and more. To find more about it ISSE check here
I don't like to take my own picture. looking for a brfore photo isn't happining. Just picture brown and grey and long and thick. Here is the after
Notes. During the color we did talk. I'm an over talker, and now I look back and hope I didn't chew his ear off. He was going to do Paris Hiltons hair the next day. He said she is a lovely lady and has a heart. She is very much involved with helping animals. She had adopted a little dog last time she was is Vegas.
If you read Michael's tweets you will see he is an animal lover. Him and his wife do have a couple of dogs too. He does tweet story's about animal abuse. If you only knew where your puppy came from that you bought at a pet store. Google puppy mills. They are horrible, disgusting people who don't take care of the animals. Please don't buy from a store, go to your local pound.
