For others, its a way to express them- selves. For Vince Ruso, the owner of Red Lemon Hair Salon, hair can be an indicator of a persons lifestyle. Shiny, healthy hair starts with a shiny, healthy lifestyle, he says. Our hair is fed by our blood, so a healthy diet and exercise is as just as important for our hair as it is for our bodies. For that same reason, changes in your hair can sometimes be a symp- tom of other health problems. Stress, for exam- ple, can cause hair loss as well as other issues. While your hair can be an indication of your overall physical health, your hairstyle can help with your inner health and self-confidence. Since Red Lemon opened in 2006, Ruso and his staff have been working with their clients to help them create a hairstyle that looks good and, most importantly, one they can reproduce at home. If you struggle with your hair in the morn- ing, it can set a negative tone for the rest of the day, he says. To help their clients avoid these bad hair days, Ruso and his staff host classes a couple of times each year where customers learn how to effectively use styling tools and hair products to create stylist looks each day. Ruso says these classes can be an empowering experience. Women have knowledge of the stock market and finance, now were giving them knowledge about their hair, he says. Its all about having control of your look and having control of your life.
