Samsung Living Atelier – NYC

We all know Samsung for their top of the line smartphones and tablets but they are also innovators in home appliances as well. The washer and dryers are some of the largest out there, energy efficient and designed to take less time out of your day. The refrigerators are so high tech and some include wifi and interactive features to help plan your meals. My favorite item is the new stove that subsequently cooks two items at different temperatures to save time ,energy and the need for another cooking device. @SamsungMobileUS |
Keratin Lounge – by Lasio
|
Last week I got a chance to try The Brazilian Keratin treatment on my hair at the Keratin Lounge by Lasio right here in midtown. First of all the staff was lovely and professional and made me feel comfortable and explained the treatments available. There are two types of treatments available depending on your hairtype and the result you are looking to achieve. The first one is the Keratin Tropic. I chose this one because its for hair that isn’t too frizzy and unmanageable, but I wanted a sleek look that I could achieve by doing almost nothing. My hair turned out quite straight after the treatment but not totally flat. This treatment lasts up to 3 months. ($250) The second treatment is the 1 Day Formula. This 24 hour leave in treatment is designed to achieve straight hair for naturally curly, frizzy, and difficult hair. My friend got this treatment and the transformation was amazing. This keratin treatment lasts up to 4 months. ($250). The procedure was quite simple as well. The stylist washed my hair, applied the Keratin Tropic, blowdried my hair, flat ironed it and sent me home to wash on my own later. Note: the 1 day must remain in hair for 24 hours while the tropic can be washed out a few hours later. The salon is located at 39 west 38th st.
