The Shots Are On Us

Want to take a shot?

Jameson, Jäger and Jack Daniels jokes aside, Redken has come out with a deep conditioning “shot” that won’t provoke you to show off your killer dance moves late night at The Hangge-Uppe.

This week I sat down with Senior Stylist, Stacy McCuskey, at Swerve Salon to give it a shot (pun totally intended). I have to say that my distressed hair and I were very impressed.

Here’s the low-down:
The Chemistry System consists of 6 different “shots” that compliment different hair types: All Soft, Smooth Down, Real Control, Clear Moisture, Color Extend and Extreme.

“Extreme is essentially a protein shot for severely chemically compromised hair.” says Stacy. “This time of year I get a lot of clients feeling dull and lifeless, blame the winter, but the chemistry system is a great way to add some zest to your hairstyle without doing anything too drastic.” We even think it will do the same for your self-esteem this time of year.

The Results?
I tried a combo of All Soft and Smooth Down and could immediately feel the difference before Stacy even blew out my hair. I’m currently on day three after the shot and still feeling the effects. Talk about a hangover we could get used to!

Per usual, we’re going to hook up our PLRG readers with a KILLER DEAL so you guys can take a shot on us.

    The salon is a little confusing to find but its totally worth it when you get inside- it’s actually above the Bank of America.

    I got a great haircut there a few weeks ago!

    Stacy is the best! I have been going to her for almost a year now and my hair has never looked better! Just had the “shot” last saturday - LOVED IT! Swerve Salon does it right - talented stylists, make-up professionals, and facialists! It’s a MUST for beautiful hair!

    I’ve gotten this done at Salon Blo in Lincoln Park and it’s great! My hair feels so soft and healthy now, especially with this harsh winter weather that’s done a number on my hair. Love it - they call it a “chemistry shot” there.
