Essa Dora

Did you know sun, salt and chlorine water break down bonds in hair, making it dry, brittle and weak? 🧬

Protect your hair all summer long with Aveda Sun Care products! The Hair & Body Cleanser gently removes chlorine and salt while the Hair Veil provides UV protection to help prevent damage and color fading. 😎

Have you ever noticed the colors of the old barber shop pole? The trade sign is, by a tradition dating back to the Middle Ages, a staff or pole with a helix of colored stripes (often red and white in many countries, but usually RED, WHITE AND BLUE in the United States). 💈

The red, white and blue stripes in the barber shop pole are meant to represent blood, bandages and veins. For thousands of years, barbers didn’t just cut hair and shave beards..they performed surgery, dentistry and more! 💉🤕💇‍♂️

Essa Dora Salon & Spa is proud to celebrate 2️⃣4️⃣8️⃣ years of our country’s independence and be an American owned and operated establishment! 🇺🇸

We welcome you to submit any appointment requests via our website www.essadora.com or email [email protected] and we will reply once we reopen for business tomorrow. 📬

Thank you, and have a safe and Happy 4th of July! 🎆

Let’s talk retinol.

As our skin ages, it produces less collagen resulting in fine lines and wrinkles. Retinol works to stimulate fibroblasts, allowing the production of new collagen to move upwards to the skin’s surface. As the cell turnover rate increases and new cells emerge, the appearance of skin aging decreases.

This high-performance oil from combines retinol and salicylic acid to target breakouts and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles to reveal clear, smooth-looking skin overnight.
