Feeling Divine At Divinity Salon

Divinity Salon was an amazing experience for me... On Sunday, May 16th which was my birthday... I received a delightful treat from my dear friend Beth, http://www.theplussizemommy.com/ . She informed me that she was taking me out to get my hair cut, styled, and colored. They were having a big Pittsburgh blogging my hair day and she thought it would be not only be a great birthday present, but also a great way to continue the start of my blog. I thought "what a treat since I haven't been to a professional hair salon in years." When we got to Divinity Salon, http://www.divinity-salon.com/ (334 1st St, Aspinwall), we noticed they had brought out the red carpet for us. It was exciting. It made us feel like movie stars! Divinity Salon had drinks and yummy treats for us. Colleen, a representative from Alterna, was talking to us about all their different products they have. All their products are made with natural ingredients such as caviar for Anti-Aging, which was the main line we were concentrating on. After she spoke, we got to talk to Michael Shawn Corby on speaker phone, he is the Big Boss of Alterna, http://www.alternahaircair.com/ . He was very informative about his products, and spoke very highly of Divinity Salon. Then we all got to meet the owner of Divinity Salon, Donnie, and also we were introduced to all the wonderful staff. They each told us their name, the years of experience they had, and what they each specialized in. As I waited to get my hair done, I was offered a wonderful scalp massage using the Alterna Caviar Anti-Aging Dry Shampoo. It felt amazing. Cooper, from... http://www.themotherhood.com/ was going around taking pictures of the "Before" looks. As I was getting pampered, Colleen came over and we chit chatted about my hair and the texture of it. As my hair is very oily, she recommended and gave me a lot of samples (Alterna Life Solutions - A volume restore shampoo and conditioner as well) to use for the type of hair I have. She was very helpful.

Then the stylist Kelly Lapinsky came over and took me to get my hair done. I had brought a picture of what I wanted to go with. She said she can do that. I had asked for blonde highlights but she recommended the red ones with the color of my hair... after all it is the color for the summer this year. She also felt it would blend in better as my hair grew since I don't make it to the salon as often as I should. I needed something that was easy to maintain but also a big change that would look nice on me. she was very nice person and made me feel relaxed and comfortable since I was so nervous for the complete change. I am very satisfied with what she did for me.

After I was all "made over and looking very beautiful", Cooper took some pictures of me for the "After" beautiful look. When we put the 2 pictures together, it was amazing how a new style and haircut has made a difference for me. I felt like a new person.

As I was waiting for Donnie to be done with Beth's hair. He was talking to us about his job and all the shows he does to... it was very interesting listening to the joy in his voice as he was speaking about his job. It truly shown he was very passionate with his work. When everyone was all made over into exquisitely beautiful ladies, we got a nice gift bag with all kinds of big samples of the caviar Anti-aging line. I have been using it on my hair each day and I am very happy with the results it has given me.

I wanted to thank everyone at Divinity Salon for making me feel welcomed and making me feel beautiful. Thank you to colleen and Sean David for telling all of us about their wonderful line of Alterna Products. Thank you to Cooper for putting this truly wonderful day together for all the bloggers. And last but not least, a special thank you to Beth for taking me on this amazing event and making my birthday one of the best ever.

Disclosure: We were given the hair cut, color, and style at no charge to us for The Pittsburgh Mom Blogger Hair Day. This in no way swayed our opinions on the experience and my opinion is 100% honest. We were also given hair products in a gift bag to take home at no charge to us.
