Riki Vieira on the road, “What I do on week ends and travel“

Riki is a stylist/colorist at Christiaan Salon. Riki is also a member of TIGI Talent Team and the TIGI Creative Force.

When I’m not at Christiaan’s, I work for TiGi.

But what does it really entail? Well what I do is, I'm a color specialist, I also do wardrobe.

We did a launch for our new collection called Remix at a show at Metro in Toronto, Canada.

It's a really great collection and very salon friendly. The shapes are pretty classic with a bit of a twist. As for the color, the techniques are pretty fast with an over all result, letting clients ditch that full head highlight.

Here's a sneak peak at our latest collection for TiGi called REMIX.

"The Very Best" Real Hair Extensions

Glamorous real hair extensions.

SO.CAP. human hair extensions come in 81 different colors, so we are sure to have whatever color you desire. There are fantasy colors, like purple and pink for the adventurous. For the more conservative there are natural colors sure to match your own color. You could even hilite your hair with a platinum or beige blonde without using a lightener and foil! Not only do the colors vary, but so do the textures. They are available in straight, curly, and wavy.

New! “Simply Straight (Smooth) Brazilian Keratin Treatment.” by Sacha

Shannon and I are certified in the “Bio Ionic Retexturizing” and the salon also offers other hair straightening systems.

In early December, Shannon and I will become certified in “Simply Straight Brazilian Keratin Treatment (Also known as Simply Smooth).” This system is different because it is formaldehyde free and is not a chemical process. The keratin is derived from human hair and from botanicals and is used to smooth the hair and give it lots of shine.

Another huge difference is that this process is temporary, and for those with very curly hair, your hair can be styled curly. The process will remove frizz and give a smoother texture that can be blown smooth in half the time. It lasts around 12-16 weeks. During this time period your natural texture will slowly return. This provides a less strict maintenance schedule and does not lock anyone into a style. Another great factor is that it can be used on hair that has been relaxed, permed, or colored.

For those clients who have let their hair naturally go grey it can be a great tool to tame the unruly texture. It is also a great solution for hair that is damaged because it will restructure and recondition the hair fibers. Although it is great for curly, frizzy, or damaged hair it can be used on any hair type for incredible shine.

The process takes about one and a half to two hours, and it is possible to schedule a color the same day if needed. If the hair is not colored that day it is recommended to wait ten days. For maintenance the client will want to use the shampoo and conditioner to prolong the life of the service. Once the certifications are received, clients will be able to book complimentary consultations to ensure the service is suitable for them.

Please contact the salon in mid-December for a consultation. 401-521-5050

Testimony from a satisfied client:
"I wanted to write to express my extreme satisfaction with my recent visit to Christiaan. On October 23, I had an appointment with Shannon for "Bio-Ionic Straightening". I cannot tell you how happy I am with the results. It has been utterly amazing. I used to spend at least an hour blowing my hair out and then flat-ironing it. Now, I spend about 10 minutes. It has been fabulous.Thank you so much",
