“Today, the modern woman plays many roles. For women who wake up feeling girly one day and glam the next, Mirabella truly offers makeup with personality.”

Mirabella Mission Statement

The month of May has brought some truly exciting things to us—the flowers are finally showing their faces, the promise of summer in the air has everyone excitedly planning beach vacays, and here at The Twisted Scissor, we’re celebrating the sunshine we’ve craved so bad with our newest set of toys here at the Headquarters—the full line of Mirabella mineral makeup! 🎉

That’s right: your favorite salon is now a proud retailer of the salon-exclusive line, Mirabella! In fact, we’re the ONLY salon in Lexington who’s carrying the line, so that’s just one more reason to love The Twisted Scissor! 🙌🏼 The entire line is free of 🚫talc, 🚫parabens, 🚫dyes, 🚫gluten, and 🚫lead, and instead infused with skin-loving antioxidants⚗, vitamins and minerals💊, and is vegan friendly🌱. Their extensive range of full coverage shades of foundation, concealer, and powders is what propelled them to the top of the industry back in 2002, winning over salons, stylists, and clients alike with such a diverse selection so every woman in every color can be flawless. 💁🏻‍♀️💁🏼‍♀️💁🏽‍♀️💁🏾‍♀️💁🏿‍♀️

Today they still remain one of the top professional makeup lines in the beauty industry due to their long-lasting, full coverage formulas, their wide selection of fashion-forward shades for every part of your pretty face, and their exclusive components in every product that makes you look and feel flawless. 🧖🏼‍♀️💃🏼💋

 

In 2014, the brand was gracefully taken over by Layne & Miranda Coggins, both of whom had impressive experience in the industry. Miranda founded a company that specializes in natural lip balm called The Lano Company, encapsulating her passion for natural skincare. 🌷After Layne jumped on board, the two eventually came to own two natural makeup lines, Pure Cosmetics and Pure Lano. Once the two learned of Mirabella and their similar mission to their own companies, the two entrepreneurs were more than happy to take over and revamp the line, replacing unneeded factors with innovative ingredients that impressed both clients and professionals. They also redesigned the packaging and introduced the sleek, modern yet classy boxes for each product. 🎁✨

Though the line has been reborn through different owners, they all had the same idea in mind: to make and keep Mirabella products the top line of professional cosmetics that evolves as trends come and go; and to keep the line tailored to specific needs of salon professionals and makeup artists in the industry. While the Coggins kept the line classy and high-end with top of the line ingredients and sleek, modern packaging, they were sure to keep the products realistically priced for every type of client. 🤑🙌

Here at The The Twisted Scissor, we are all about keeping the health and integrity of your hair the top priority in everything we do. So of course we went with the makeup line that carries the same passion—looking beautiful while preserving your skin and keeping it as healthy as possible. ✨ Right now, the brand’s top sellers are the Pure Press Powder and the Brow Pencil. But here at the Twisted Headquarters, everyone is loving the Black Magic Marker (a must-have for winged liner!) the CC Creme Tinted Moisturizer, and the Infinity Anti-Aging Foundations. We offer services for every event and every skill level, so don’t be afraid to be clueless! Book a consultation to test the waters and to take a Fitzpatrick Skin Level test to find your perfect shade. When you’re ready to spread your (eyeliner) wings and fly, get booked for one of our magical makeup services with your favorite Twisted Team Member and we will get you from no to pro in an hour! Fall in love with your favorite Mirabella products, and those who place their orders in the salon get 30% off your first order! Your products will ship free to the salon within 2-3 days and we will let you know when it’s here waiting for you. Call us at the shop for more details, or check it out the next time you’re here! We know you’re just as excited about this fantastic line of products as we are, so don’t be afraid to stop by and play! 🎨

Have a fantastic week, and we can’t wait to see you! 🤗

Enchantingly,

The Twisted Team 🦄💋💖💄🎁

You know what they say—if it doesn’t nourish your soul or your hair, let it go. That’s the same idea that fueled the creation of Pureology—our favorite line that’s color safe🌈, sulfate-free🧖🏼‍♀️, cruelty-free🐶, and 100% vegan🌱! From their cleansing shampoos, to their smoothing conditioners, even the bodifying mousses and glossy hairsprays, every Pureology product comes with the guarantee of the company’s “no-nasties” movement, meaning their ingredient lists are free of sulfates, animal products/by-products, and other unnecessarily harsh, drying chemicals. Instead, each product includes an exclusive “anti-fade complex” that contains antioxidants and sunscreens for your hair. Healthy hair = pretty hair! 💁‍♀️✨💖

From the moment color affects your luscious locks, the strength is compromised and your texture can be drier than before. Since that makes it tough for your hair to hold color, it’s vital to feed it what it needs to stay moisturized and healthy, and keep your color fresh and vibrant. From the very first shampoo created by the company back in 2001, to their latest specialty cleanser, every bottle uses a blend of corn🌽, coconut🥥, and sugar🍬 to gently cleanse the scalp and hair without the yucky sulfates and detergents other brands may have to rely on. This exclusive formula is so concentrated that only a coin-sized amount is needed to blow your mind and seal your locks—which means each bottle contains over 70 uses! Talk about bang for your buck! 🤑🤑🤑

When using other color lines, you typically have an option of the color safe shampoo, volumizing shampoo, repairing, etc. Since Pureology’s entire line is guaranteed to protect your color, you don’t have to sacrifice one perk for another—they offer a variety of volumizing🙌, hydrating💧, smoothing💆‍♀️, and strengthening💪 systems to ensure every head of color-treated hair gets the best protection AND the proper attention it needs, plus all the extra bonuses to enhance your personal style!

Since one of our favorite things to do here at The Twisted Scissor is to spoil our amazing clients, we’ve got our Pureology Clean Volume collection at 50% off! 🎉 If you haven’t gotten your hands on these gems yet, it’s the perfect time to give it a try and fall in love. Choose from the Bodifying Shampoo, the Weightless Mousse, or the Levitation Spray (Cassie’s personal favorite!) or mix and match, or go big and snag all three! We are keeping the price slashed until we’re fresh out, so pencil in your favorite hair salon on your to do list and grab your choice before they’re gone!

Here at The Twisted Scissor, everything we say and do is based on two things – making you look and feel as fabulous as you truly are, and keeping your hair as healthy and beautiful as possible. That is why we are proud carriers of all Pureology shampoos, conditioners, and styling products, so we can be confident in the fact that everything we use on you pretty people is top quality and enhances the perfection of our favorite feature—your hair!

Have an enchanting weekend, Twisted Friends, and we can’t wait to see you!

Everyone knows we love new toys here at the Twisted Headquarters, so of course we have to share the news with our favorite people–you guys! The ECOHEADS shampoo shower head is the newest addition to our salon, and the most environmentally friendly! Not only does it have a sleek, modern look that perfectly compliments our unique space, but it also reduces water usage by 65%. That means instead of using up to 150 gallons/day with a standard shower head, we are now only going through up to 98 gallons! Yay for less water wastage! 🚿💦

The ECOHEADS shower head system was created only 4 years ago in Australia by two young bright-eyed entrepreneurs. Kevin Murphy salons were the first lucky spaces to play with the eco-friendly shower head, and they have encouraged other salons all over the world to jump on board with this unique, modern system. 🌎 The recycled plastic nozzle contains tourmaline beads and mineral filters to reduce chlorine, sediment, dirt, and other things we don’t want from the water, meanwhile generating negative ions that makes hair soft and touchable. Though it does reduce water usage, the water pressure is doubled, which cuts color rinsing time by 50% and gives the client (that’s you!) a fantastic scalp massage in the process. 💆🏽‍♀️🧖🏼‍♀️

Upon entering the Twisted Scissor, you may be taken away by the purple taffy walls, bottomless bowls of candy, and the magical atmosphere we’ve had so much fun creating. But, we also want to be recognized as the environmentally conscious, recycle friendly, bee saving, flower loving people that we are! We were sold on this product after learning how eco-friendly it was, and the modern, fabulous look to it completely won us over. 😍 Don’t forget to check it out the next time you’re relaxing at The Twisted Scissor! We can’t wait to see you! 🤗

Enchantingly,

The Twisted Team 🦄🌈✂️💜
