We are celebrating 60 years of Hair Design and Photography at Philip Pelusi The Salon Collective with our next Throwback Contest! So give this a try…
Take a look at Philip’s striking Glam Hawk Model shown here in several incredible photos. Concept, Volumetric Haircut, Hair Color, Styling, Photo, Staging and Lighting all by Philip Pelusi himself.
Philip shares,“This is a three in one cut created with our Volumetric™ Organic Haircutting System using Bi-Slicing, Tri-Slicing, and Dicing. The cut looks edgy and wild but the cutting techniques and placement are all well thought out and purposeful. The Volumetric Bi-Slicing and Tri-Slicing are strategically cut throughout the haircut to lift and move the hair. While the Volumetric Dicing lightens up the hair weight overall. This allows the hair to move and shift giving the wearer the ability to create three or more looks and allows for easy styling.”
The person to send in the correct answer (or comes to closest) will win 1 FREE Philip Pelusi product of their choice! Each respondent can email or text 2 guesses each.
Drumroll please! The contest question is… What month and year was this photo taken?
Looking forward to hearing from everyone! The contest starts today Thursday AM June 18th through Sunday PM June 28th. Respond directly to Nikki via text or email. That contact info is provided in the email sent out this morning to the Salons and Salons Leaders. Thank you!
Congrats to our 2 Throwback Contest Winners Melissa @ Southland and Shannon @ Sienna!

Help your guests protect their hair color investment all summer long by view the Tela Guardian Angel education video here and to learn more keep reading this short article…
Hair and scalp protection are at the core of our thought process behind ourTela Beauty Organics by Philip Pelusi Guardian Angel Solar Hair Serum. It contains Sunflower Seed Extract, well known for its ability as a hairUVA/UVB sunlight protectant and stabilizer of synthetic hair color. Plus we added Chlorophyllin, a naturally derived synthetic Chlorophyll derivative, that contains Copper at its core, making it water soluble and more bioavailable.

When combined in a haircare product these two protective powerhouses effectively turn off the damaging effects of UV, helping provide maximum protection of the hair fiber against color fadage and tensile strength degradation due to UV exposure while unique ultra-lux hydrating oils help replenish lost moisture due to sun exposure, heat styling and hair coloring.

Apply Tela Guardian Angel Solar Hair Serum to damp hair and scalp every morning prior to any other styling groom, similar to how one would apply a face SPF prior to cosmetics. A dime to nickel size amount should do the trick, apply starting at the ends working up towards and including the scalp.

We added 3 different types of weightless hydrating cold pressed oils for hydration, heat protection and shine. Cold pressed, meaning they maintain their integrity and potency during processing. USDA Certified Organic Quinoa Seed Oil penetrates the cuticle and cortex to smooth, strengthen and enhance hair. Organic Quinoa, contains all 8 essential amino acids as well as Vitamin E helps create brilliant shine, hydrated stronger hair, reduced frizz and heat protection.

USDA Certified Organic Jamaican Black Castor Oil, rich with Vitamin E and Omega 9 Fatty Acids, adds incredible shine and moisture as well as anti-frizz action. And USDA Certified Organic Plukenetia Volubilis Seed Oil, well known as Sachi InchiOil, rich in plant protein and Omega 3, 6 and 9 Fatty Acids to strengthen, hydrate and help with heat protection. This incredible ingredient is also rich with hair protective antioxidants Vitamins A and E that help ward off environmental pollutants while helping slow the oxidative process that fades hair color.
We apply sunscreen to our skin before sun exposure, so why not our hair? Did you know the sun can give hair a sunburn similar to skin? The sun’s Ultra Violet Rays degrade the collagen and elastin in the skin, but it also erodes the protein in the hair.

Day to day and most definitely prolonged exposure to the sun means weak, porous, tangled, dry, dull and faded color. This is because UV Rays erode the cuticle and eventually the cortex of the hair leaving hair porous and vulnerable to even more damage from color, chemicals and heat styling. We know that once enough protein is chipped away, hair strands thin and eventually break off.

Help prevent damage with P2 and Tela products as they all contain some type of sunscreen or UV filters. P2 Potion is one of the best for this type of protection for the hair and scalp as it contains Philip’s proprietary P2 Matrix Blend consisting of 6 natural UV filters; Matricaria, Asafetida, Sage, Horseradish, Grapeseed and Blackberry.

Nothing can permanently block sunlight, but with consistent use P2 Potion can help prevent and reduce a lot of this damage, helping to protect beautiful hair and color investments alike.

Pro tip…apply P2 Potion to your scalp and tops of the ears for extra UV protection and hydration too!

This is the first post in a series about protein in the hair; the good, the bad and the best. Philip’s philosophy has always been to think of hair like a fine garment and to teach our guests to treat their hair like the finest garment they own. A fine garment and hair have a lot in common.

Just like an expensive cashmere sweater, hair is also an investment. Guests invest in their hair every month in the salon with haircuts, color and texture services.

It is the “garment” they wear the most frequently as we all do wear their hair every day. And just like the cashmere sweater, hair is made up of fibers, not cashmere fibers, but instead keratin protein makes up the cortex and cuticle of the hair.
Cross section of a hair strand magnified 14,800 times shows 11 cuticle layers on top of the protein filled cortex, the dark spots are the melanin within the strand ~ image source gillette
And just like any kind of fabric, with more wear the more those fibers are weakened or lost.
So, the question is how do we maintain the keratin protein fibers in hair to keep it strong, shiny and protect color and texture investments? How do we preserve the fabric?
