We are very proud to announce that Believe's owner and head stylist Lisa Bevan will be appearing at this year's Energizing Summit in Los Angeles.

The Stylist's Toolbox: Blow Dryers

The tools of a hairstylist are so very important. Every stylist needs quality instruments to perform her job (and her art) at her very best. Beyond quality, there is also an issue of comfort. No two stylists are the same and therefore each of their tools varies as much as they do. Here at Believe, we like to occasionally profile some of those tools that we use to help our friends and clients understand a bit more about the art that is hair styling.

This edition: Blow Dryers

A blow dryer is a huge part of any stylist's toolbox. For the stylist and the client, it's all a part of the experience. The blow dryer hums in the background as we enter our salons, like a subtle greeting that we have arrived in our temples of beauty. We greet the receptionist and moments later our locks are rising ever so gently into the air under the warm gust of our stylist's personal six-shooter. We know the feeling and the sounds so well, but what makes a good blow dryer stand out from the rest?

Power

Power and higher wattage are all good things when looking at a blow dryer. A more powerful dryer will give you more variety in your style, faster styling times, and a greater flexibility in your presentation. For many people, experts say that 1300 to 1875 watts is a good number to look for in their blow dryers. But of course, any dryer is dependent on the style as well. A lower powered dryer may be ideal for different cuts, such as blow drying bangs or setting curls.

Heat (or lack thereof)

Blow dryer packaging will brag an awful lot about high heat in their dryers. While a greater heating capacity is good for some people with thicker, coarser hair, it may be far too damaging for those with finer, thinner hair. Adjust your heat levels accordingly. Even if your dryer has a lot of power and heat, you can always turn it down. High heat might also be useful if your hair is soaking wet,  just out of the shower, but experts recommend switching to a cool setting when the hair is about 80% dry.

Type

Not all dryers are the same, and the technology has certainly changed and nowadays we have a larger variety of choice. Here are a few options that you may encounter out there:

Ionic

Ionic dryers have a technology that uses negatively charged ions to break down water molecules present in the hair. This breaking down process allows hair to dry faster and healthier. 

Ceramic

Ceramic dryers emit non-damaging infrared heat, which is a healthier option for your hair over traditional dryers.

Tourmaline

Tourmaline dryers emit infrared heat and negatively charged ions. This means the hair will be less frizzy, shinier, and generally healthier. These dryers also allow your hair to have a higher and greater heat tolerance.

Your Hair, Your Choice
There is no right or wrong answer when it comes to blow dryers. Each type is different for each person, and varies as much as our hair does. With this in mind, it is very important for each and every one of us to do our research and determine the best fit for our hair type, color, and style. Hopefully this information will serve as a great jumping off point for your better, healthier hair.

The Believe Choice

So after all of this information, you might be asking, "What do the good people at Believe use?" Well, we are proud to use Ergo Ionized Blow Dryers at the salon. Ergo Dryers have been "proven to be a perfect combination of air flow, heat output, and controlled sound level to create a smooth, shiny, and humidity resistant finish to the hair." They do a great job and we are happy to use them for our clients and sell them right in the salon. Ask us all about them at your next appointment!

Believe Client Profiles: Lina Serpico

Believe Beauty Lounge is so honored to have such a varied and impressive clientele visit our salon. Every so often, we love to profile some of these amazingly talented clients who grace our blue chairs and allow us to style their look.

This edition:

Lina Serpico

Lina is a loyal, longtime Believer. She is also very active in the Chappaqua and Pleasantville Community through school and religious organizations.

How long have you been going to Believe?

I have been going to Believe Salon since it opened. Lisa has been my hair stylist for about 12 years. From the first day I met her I knew I would never use another hair dresser!

Why do you prefer Believe over other salons?
I prefer Believe Salon over other Salons in the area because it is not pretentious, you can go in wearing sweats, no make-up and no one would be offended or put-off. I also love Believe because it is peaceful, very “zen".

How long have you lived in the Pleasantville area?
I have lived in Chappaqua for 15 years.

Can you tell me very briefly about your work?
Up until recently I was a stay at home mom. Volunteering for the PTA and various other organizations way too much. I have recently accepted a position as Coordinator for Religious Education at my church.

Thank you so much, Lina! We love the support and long time friendship with the entire Salon!

The Stylist's Toolbox: Shears

The tools of a hairstylist are so very important. Every stylist needs quality instruments to perform her job (and her art) at her very best. Beyond quality, there is also an issue of comfort. No two stylists are the same and therefore each of their tools varies as much as they do. Here at Believe, we like to occasionally profile some of those tools that we use to help our friends and clients understand a bit more about the art that is hair styling.

This edition: Shears

You may know them as scissors, but there is probably no more vital of a tool to a hairstylist than her shears. Sure, they can cost a few bucks in the drug store but did you know that a good quality pair of shears can cost into the thousands? So let's look at some of the variables that goes into quality shears.

Material
Yes, shears are typically made from metal but this can vary. 440c stainless steel is common in cheaper shears, as well as many blades used for carpentry and various other industries. However, the higher quality shears are often made from cobalt steel, which is a much harder steel. This will improve the sharpness of the blade, the quality of the cut, and the long term life of the shears themselves.

Comfort
A stylist is cutting hair for hours, each and every day. So while the comfort of a pair of scissors might seem silly to those outside of the industry, for a stylist, it is so very important. There are offset and straight handles, swivel and fixed thumbs, permanent and removable pinky rests (tangs), large and small finger holes, fat and thin handles. Add to this list the various weights and lengths of the blades themselves, and you will see a surprising number of factors that go into the comfort of a pair of shears.

Length
Yep, length does matter. In the world of styling shears and barber shears, different sizes are good for different things. A long shear (6.5” – 7”) is great for making long, even cuts quickly and accurately. Shorter shears (5”) are good for detailed work around the ear, etc. A shear that is 5.5” to 6.0” is generally thought of as the “workhorse” or all-around shear. You can pretty much do anything you want with them.

So what does this all mean?

At the end of the day, the shears of a stylist are an extension of herself. Build, length, material, and comfort all matter. However, having said that, a true artist can paint with any brush, and price, quality, and quantity do not always tell the whole story. 

Just see what Believe Owner and Stylist Lisa Koebbe Bevan has to say about her wide array of shears:

"If you were to look in my station drawer you would probably be surprised to find approximately 16 pair of shears (and that's with having gotten rid of several.) Naturally the next question would be "why?" An experienced hair cutter can execute most cutting techniques using a single pair of scissors. In emergency cutting requests, I've actually used kitchen shears, pinking shears, and a mini extremely sharp folding pair I keep on my key ring. 

So then why have so many?

Well, just as a painter has a variety of brushes at his disposal, a seamstress has a variety of needles, and a sportsman has a variety of clubs bats balls rackets, my variety of sharp edges (whether they be shears, razors, or clippers) make for creating lines and texture more efficaciously and more fun. I also believe it's important for my clients to see a variety of tools that are used so that they see my interest and excitement about my profession, and so that they can learn more about what I do."

Tara Klein

Tara helped build The Pleasantville SEPTA, an organization devoted to helping children with special needs and their parents. We asked her a little bit about this and her thoughts on Believe.

How long have you been going to Believe?
My first Believe experience was about 7 years ago, shortly after Lisa opened the salon. We clicked immediately! Often several months pass between appointments but, like sisters or best friends, we always seem to pick up where we left off.

Why do you prefer Believe over other salons?
Lisa's Soho-style salon offers professional services while cultivating a unique sense of community charm, style, and personalized attention. You are always greeted with a smile and never feel rushed.

How long have you lived in the Pleasantville area?

I have lived in Pleasantville with my husband and four sons for 23 years. Six years-ago, when my youngest son, Brendan, was diagnosed with Leukemia, Lisa organized an event to raise both awareness and funds for The Leukemia and Lymphoma Society by offering buzz cuts for boys and orange braids for girls. The event was a huge success. My son Brendan still stops to say hello whenever he passes by.

You are very involved with The Pleasantville SEPTA. Can you tell me a little bit about what you guys do?

THE PLEASANTVILLE SEPTA was organized 9 years ago for the specific purpose of providing information and support to parents and caregivers of children with special needs. SEPTA sponsors speakers, parent gatherings, library resources and educational programs in an effort to create a true parent and community support network.

Thank you so much for taking the time to speak with us, Tara!

2014! Another year passed and we here at Believe can’t…well, believe it. Until, that is, when we check the mirror and see ever more fine lines and wrinkles making their way across our faces. Then we see that time truly is marching on. 

But we have something that will help combat those signs of aging, in a truly miraculous way: the NeriumAD skincare line—a scientific breakthrough in the science of aging. We are thrilled to be able to introduce it here at Believe.

Read on to learn more: During advanced research on the uses of the Nerium oleander plant, an accidental discovery was made: the unique properties of Nerium oleander provided remarkable age-defying results when applied to the skin. This finding led to the formation of Nerium International and the creation of the NeriumAD skincare line. 

Nerium scientists developed a breakthrough process, NBio-PL2, to derive an extract from the Nerium oleander plant in a way that preserves its unique and beneficial properties. This patented extraction process yields the NAE-8 extract, with powerful antioxidant properties, used to formulate the first-of-its-kind, age-defying Nerium product line. 

Nerium International is the first company with the exclusive capability to harness the power of the Nerium oleander plant in its skincare products. The product line addresses multiple concerns at once, including: wrinkles, discoloration, and texture. Nerium controls this main active ingredient from seed to bottle, making the Nerium skincare line both high-impact and innovative. This is the Nerium Difference.  

Use of the Nerium oleander plant has been identified in ancient texts and folklore for more than 1,500 years. But it wasn’t until the last century that the scientific community took interest in researching its unique properties. Most recently, scientists in Turkey, Switzerland, Germany, Latin America, and the United States have worked to understand the beneficial qualities found exclusively in the Nerium oleander plant. 

If you have vibrant skin and want to retain that youthful, healthy glow for life, or wish you looked ten years younger so your outward appearance matched your inner youth, NeriumAD products have you covered! 

The NeriumAD product line is effective from the first application; however, you will see remarkable improvements in your skin’s appearance through continuous use. Ultimately, we know you want lasting results. That’s why NeriumAD is an ongoing choice, a daily ritual, which will help you achieve youthful-looking skin. No matter how young or old you are, great skin begins with NeriumAD. And so sure are we that you will get the fantastic results you want, Nerium AD offers a 30-day money back guarantee. If you aren’t satisfied, you have spent nothing. How great is that?

Here are some testimonials of people, just like you, who have tried (and love) Nerium AD:

 “I was searching for a more youthful look without resorting to expensive options or unhealthy products, but age was starting to show its signs right between my eyes. I've been a hairstylist for 20 years and have been introduced to the highest quality products, but none of them delivered the results that NeriumAD has for my skin. I've never been more satisfied. My results are better than I even expected. Thank you, NeriumAD!”
- One a V.

“After just one month of using NeriumAD, I felt so much more confident about my appearance. Now my skin has a natural radiance without needing any foundation, and my morning makeup routine has been cut in half. The texture of my skin is amazing. My friends are even telling me I look younger!” - Sandra R..

"The results I got from using NeriumAD are simply unbelievable... It may not be the fountain of youth, but it may just be the closest thing to it. Thank you for helping me turn back the hands of time and providing me the opportunity to help others feel the same. It's okay to get old... You just don't have to look it!"

"Other NeriumAD reviews were right: This product is so easy to use. Simply apply at night to moist skin and you're done. This is something I can see myself doing long term. I was never able to follow through with the four or five-step programs. One product that does it all... And it works! It really works!" - Debra
“After only a few weeks into my Nerium Experience, I noticed smaller pores, less wrinkles, and my ‘perma-furrow’ appeared less prevalent. “

Introducing Angelique! Makeup Artist Extraordinaire

October flew by here at Believe and we suffered our annual shock to see Christmas decorations going up at our local supermarket before the calendar had even changed from November. But ready or not, the holiday season is upon us all and, at Believe, we have a special announcement to help you shine at all the upcoming parties:

Believe welcomes Makeup Artist Extraordinaire: Angelique Massaline. Angelique is a freelance artist for the world-famous Mac line of cosmetics and has joined the Believe family for makeup makeovers or applications by appointment.

Here is a little about Angelique in her own words:

“I love makeup. It has the power to transform, giving you a chance to completely change your look from day-to-day. You can enhance or exaggerate your features; you can be soft and natural; or edgy or go for over-the top glamour. Makeup also allows you to camouflage imperfections or add better-than-what-Nature-gave-you bone structure using contouring and highlighting techniques without going under the knife. The best part is, all the changes just wash off.

I've been doing makeup pretty since I begged my mom to let me wear it (at about 14 and have been indulging my passion ever since. Older friends of mine in their ‘20's would ask me how I did my makeup and wanted tips and, once I realized I was good at what I did and had a natural talent, I went to BOCES (Board of Cooperative Educational Services) and took a Cosmetology course. Once there, I quickly realized that hair was not my passion, and, after some time working in the corporate world, I arranged my life so that I could pursue my dream of being a true artist of makeup full-time. I am thrilled to be able to do so at Believe.

I first became interested in doing makeup because I have big eyes and I wanted to learn how to play them up even more. The first eye shadows I owned were gold, silver and pink (it was the ‘80's) which are colors I still use, albeit in less frosty forms.

By finding and applying the right colors for people, I love seeing how someone can come out of their shell and maybe find an alter-ego or just a little more confident version of themselves.  All it takes is a little shimmer here and some shadow there. 

Personally, I love getting dolled up and really enjoy employing perhaps a bold red lip and some winged black liner to bring out the inner Marilyn or Audrey in a woman who didn’t know they were inside of them just waiting to come out and dazzle the world. I truly enjoy doing makeovers as well. I had the amazing experience recently of making up the ladies for the Discovery Store Fashion Show and am eager to show off some tips and tricks I learned for Believe’s wonderful customers. 

Oh, and I can’t neglect to mention that I particularly love brides and feel honored when I’m entrusted to do their makeup on their special day.  

So, I look forward to meeting you all and working with Lisa and her incredible staff at Believe. It is a special place with wonderful creative energy and I can’t wait to add my own talents to the brilliant team at Believe. Please call now (914) 747-0778 or book online to make your appointment (before the holiday rush starts in full force.)

Let’s create something truly special for the holidays.

Here’s to a more beautiful you,

Angelique”

We at are delighted to have Angelique and are accepting appointments for her now. Schedule a new look for the holidays or give a makeover as a gift or learn a new color palette for the changing season (or your changing skin) or get a makeup lesson to suit a new hairstyle.

(And while you are at Believe, ask about our new product to give you the longest lashes you’ve ever had –more on that in December—and stock up on a few early gifts to get a head start on your shopping. We have some terrific suggestions.)

Hoping to see you soon. We are thankful for all of you!
