April 13th, 2011Passion Photoshoot Was A Success!
March 30th, 2011Two weekends ago we hosted a two-day Passion International Photography Competition held at The Salon Professional Academy here in Tampa. We want to thank all the salon owners, hair designers, makeup artists, assistants and models who participated, we sincerely appreciate all your support and shared creativity.
With the help of everyone, we shot 134 models with 11 participating salons and The Salon Professional Academy. Many of our models even had second looks. We want to share a few special thank you notes with the first one going to Joe and Tonya Goodrich of the Euphoria Salon, who with their team shared 19 terrific models. We also want to share an extra special thank you to Joanne Powers and Kathy Costa of The Salon Professional Academy. We could not have asked for a better co-host location. Opening up your fabulous cosmetology school for us, Passion and our salon friends for this event was also most appreciated and gracious. Your students were terrific as hair designers and models. You could not have done any more for us.
Although 9 months is far from now we look forward to receiving our Passion outtake photographs which we will share with everyone when the time comes. In the meantime check out some behind the scenes photos taken during the two-day photography sessions.

Trend Alert: Fringe Bangs
March 7th, 2011
Taylor Swift pushed open the door for the new “Full On” bangs craze at the 2010 American Music Awards. Full on bangs are a heavy fringe look that can accentuate anyone’s eyes.
THREE TYPES OF FRINGE:
- The “Full On” bang is very heavy bangs, which could either be a precise straight line fringe or can have a little textured fringe. Both will frame and show off anyone’s eyes.
- The “Wispy” bang is a light and subtle fringe. This bang is great for anyone looking for a way to disguise their forehead lines. It’s an inexpensive way to hide these lines without the Botox!
- The “Choppy” bang is for a more modern style. This type of fringe will give any modern style a more edgy and dramatic look.
WHAT TYPES OF LOOK DOES FRINGE BANGS MOST OFTEN ACHIEVE?
Depending on the fringe type it will give anyone a more youthful look, taking up to 10 years off of some people.
DO FRINGE BANGS SUIT ANY ONE TYPE OF WOMAN’S STYLE OR SHAPE OF FACE BETTER?
A fringe is great for those women with larger foreheads. It will reduce the distance between their hair and eyes which will then draw more attention to the person’s eyes then their head.

October 7th, 2010
All Beauty Care Professionals Needed To Help Protect Our Coastal Waters
Beauty Stores and Salons Asked to Send Relief and Support for Oil Spills
Cleanup efforts of the marshes, beaches and wildlife of the Gulf Coast will continue long after BP successfully seals up the hole in the ocean. With oil now spread across four states, officials say it will take months to clean up the oil on the surface and years to restore the environment and its habitats. As many environmental activists look for ways to contribute to the cleanup efforts, one organization provides the opportunity to do just that. As a result green oil spill cleanup is being revolutionized in an unusual way with the use of human hair collected by salons across the country.

Michael Angelo Offers 10 Tips to Pamper Your Color-Treated Hair
June 10th, 2010Michael Angelo offers 10 Tips to Pamper Your Color-Treated Hair on A Girl’s Gotta Spa! blog. They’ve recently been listed as one of the Top 50 Beauty Blogs by Konector and as one of the Top 9 Beauty Blogs by Beauty Store Business Magazine.
Here are some of those tips:
- Tip 1: Trim your hair every four to six weeks to remove split ends and to help make your hair more manageable. A great haircut is the best foundation for keeping your hair healthy and looking its best.
- Tip 2: Use a shampoo specifically formulated for haircolor treated hair. If you must wash your hair every day, shampoo only once. When you shampoo, avoid tugging your hair and wash gently. Rinse thoroughly to remove all traces of shampoo. Michael Angelo recommends products like Mane-Tain Shampoo by Michael Angelo Masterpiece Haircare. This professional haircolor safe shampoo gently cleanses, restoring your hairs essential nutrients and natural beauty.
- Tip 3: Use a conditioner formulated specifically for color-treated hair and apply it to your hair every time you shampoo. It is best to apply an additional amount to the ends of your hair and to rinse thoroughly to remove all traces and minimize any film that can hide your natural shine. Michael Angelo recommends Main-Tain Conditioner. The unique formula is infused with structurizing proteins and botanicals to penetrate into your hair shaft, producing benefits above and beyond any singular protein conditioner
- Tip 4: Invest in a special micro-fiber towel that removes excess moisture from your hair after you shampoo and condition. These towels absorb more moisture than regular bath towels and can cut down on drying time. Once your hair is towel dried, use a wide-tooth comb to detangle your hair. Wide tooth combs are less likely to cause split ends and breakage.
- Tip 5: After you towel dry your hair, allow your hair to minimally air dry prior to blow drying. The more heat you apply to your hair, the more damage you can inflict to the cuticle.
