About Shai and Pome Studio

Shai Dhali is in the house as our guest host and hair-expert. (Airdrie had her hair done by Shai a few weeks ago, and talked about it on LGL episode #50.) Shai is opening her new studio salon, Pome Studio, April 1st, 2007. Visit her at online for hair tips and samples of her work, as well as information on booking an appointment. In this show, I interview Shai all about hair, hair, hair.

Airdrie's Review

Suave Naturals Soothing Lavender Lilac Conditioner (approx $3 CDN). While prices vary from store-to-store, Airdrie has noticed that shampoo and conditioner prices, in general, have been on the rise. One product line that has maintained a low price without compromising quality and effectiveness is the Suave line. Of course this is just one blogger's opinion. Try this product, and see for yourself. The Lavender and Lilac scent is long-lasting, if that is what you are looking for. The Suave naturals line also includes other fruity-floral natural scents.

Shai Recommends

• Phyto($20 for shampoo or conditioner) - Shai uses these products in her salon.
• Paul Mitchell (she recommends the Tea Tree series for non-colour treated hair, especially for men)
• A brush that looks like a flatiron. (Update: I found one at Shopper's Drug Mart today by Goody for $11.99, and it works OK, but not as good as the high-priced real flatiron I invested in two years ago.)

If you have a question for Shai, please e-mail us: podcast {at} lipglossandlaptops {dot} com. We hope to have her back on a future show. We would also like you to email us a list of all your favourite products for our reader's choice show.
