Even when it’s for a special occasion, you don’t want your hair to betray evidence that you spent hours on it with a straightening iron and a blow dryer. Men are more often attracted to ladies with hair that looks and feels natural, even if a lot of work has indeed been done to it at a parlor before. At our San Diego massage and hair salon our stylists can help you out with any hairstyle that you feel is fitting. We can personalize any style to accentuate your best features.
What do Megan Fox, Heidi Klum, Lucy Liu, Jessica Stroup and Ginnifer Goodwin have in common? They all rock a hairstyle that best fits and accentuates their features. If you’re a little unsure what you’re looking for in hairstyle but are ready for a change and a confidence boosting makeover then consider the four following hairstyles and how they might fit with your look, features, and attitude.
Straight, Glossy Strands
From an evolutionary standpoint, males are subconsciously attracted to women with clean and unfussy hair. According to biological anthropologist Helen Fisher PhD, straight up sexy hair that’s in top condition shows that you are healthy—a subliminally perceived flag of an ideal mate. Celebrities like Blake Lively, Lucy Liu, Heidi Klum, and Amy Adams are known to achieve this look.
Free-flowing Tresses
Fisher notes how Megan Fox’s performance in Transformers was punctuated by the look of youth and vitality that her shiny, free-flowing dark hair lent her, apart, of course, from her smoking hot figure and luscious lips. Men would give up just about anything they own to run their fingers through her bombshell tresses.
Pixie Fringe
This hairstyle features layers that are cropped closely to the head and side-swept, fringy bangs. Men are drawn to it because it exudes confidence, suggesting that the lady does not need to hide behind long hair. Ginnifer Goodwin and Jessica Stroup are frequently spotted with this type of ‘do.
The Bump
If there ever was a hairdo that projects your wild side, it’s the bump hairstyle. The key to this is to get the sides to contrast with the height created on top, and make it look like an undercut with a cool punky edge to it. You can wear the bump with a half up/half down hairstyle or a ponytail. Rihanna, Nicole Scherzinger, Ashley Tisdale, and Dianna Agron are known ambassadors of the bad girl bump.
Ladies who sparkle and dazzle with these winning hairstyles definitely get a lot of work done to pull off their desired look. It would come as no surprise if they are never lacking of admirers. A good hairstylist from a popular San Diego hair salon should be able to make these engaging hairstyles work for you, too.

2013 is here and your vacation is over, sorry! It’s time to go back to work but it’s important you start your new year off with one last treat, a nice relaxing massage. With numerous massage types available it’s easy to get lost or even intimidated deciding which one is best for you. Fear not friends, here are some things you’ll need to know about the most popular massages we have to offer.
Swedish Massage
Swedish massage is the simplest and most commonly offered throughout the United States. It makes use of five different massage strokes: siding, kneading, shaking, cross fiber, and rhythmic tapping. A Swedish massage is effective in relieving stiffness in the joints and improving blood flow. It also eases back pain as well as helps to prevent muscle spasms and strains. So if you’re looking for a nice all in one service this is your best bet, and the best part – you don’t even need to leave San Diego!
Aromatherapy Massage
Are you the smelly type? Then aromatherapy might be more your style. Aromatherapy is a type of massage that uses the aromatic essential oils of plants to help alleviate pain and tension in the body. Aromatherapy is particularly suited for stressed individuals (aren’t we all?). When the essential oils used in this massage are inhaled, its molecules stimulate the part of the brain that influences emotions and memories. That part is also connected to other portions of the body that regulate heart rate, hormonal balance and blood pressure. Common essential oils used in an aromatherapy massage include chamomile, lavender, rosemary, and eucalyptus.
Deep Tissue Massage
Deep-tissue massage targets deeper layers of muscles and connective tissues in the body. It utilizes a slower stroke or friction techniques across the grain of the muscles, to alleviate pain in chronically tight muscles, repetitive strains, or postural problems. This type of massage is recommended for athletes or people who use their muscles excessively. If you’re looking for more of a “functional” massage this is the ticket. No crying please ;).
Reflexology
Although it is sometimes called foot massage, reflexology is not as simple as it looks. It involves applying pressure on different points of the foot that correspond to certain organs and systems in the body. It is a very relaxing type of massage and is recommended as well for people who stand all day. Ladies, we all know heals aren’t always the most comfortable option (but they look so good!), treat your feet to something this year.
Admit it, a visit to the salon is always the best part of your day. We welcome our guests and aim to make everyone feel as comfortable and beautiful as possible. If you’re looking for a full-service hair salon in San Diego that can relax the mind, body, and spirit as well as provide you a stylish and sexy new look then come on by Pure Salon and Spa today!

San Diego is known as a city of sunshine and smiles thanks to its warm climate, multiethnic population, and immense economic success. This energy is also reflected in the beauty and vitality of the people who live in this historic Californian city. Of course beauty is normally reflective of how people feel. And no other San Diego spa can have you feeling as refreshed, relaxed, and revitalized as our very own at Pure.
Massages
If you find that your busy lifestyle and lack of sleep is starting to make you the grinch in the office then it might be time for you to treat yourself to a massage. A massage promotes circulation which can relax tense muscles built from stress and day to day activities. Once you find yourself physically feeling better it will be much easier for you to mentally feel energized once more. At Pure, we offer different types of massages—Swedish, deep tissue, and aromatherapy which vary in intensity, applied techniques, and targeted body parts.
Body wraps and Facials
Often times stress around the holidays and other times of the year can lead to short term acne for many adults. Nothing can be more frustrating than noticing a pimple sitting on your forehead before you take off to an ugly Christmas sweater party. Should you find that your skin is lacking the proper treatment and care that it deserves you may be interested in a one-hour body wrap or facial. These treatments are designed to hydrate, soften, and color your skin so that it not only feels better but looks better too!
Waxing services
Some people enjoy body hair and others not so much. If you fall into the latter or prefer to please others who fall into the latter then a waxing session might boost your confidence and help you to feel better. Waxing sessions often include the underarms, legs, bikini areas, upper lip, and neck area. However we can cater to whatever area you would like us to remove excess hair from.
Each and every day you should look and feel your very best. There is no reason to feel anything different. Of course life does happen and sometimes stress can set us back both physically and mentally. When this happens remember that our hair salon in San Diego can be counted on to help rejuvenate your spirt and relax your mind so that you can smile confidently once more.
