After 46-years as a hair stylist, I have finally found a product that I can fully support. René Furterer hair products is a French company who do what they say they said they do. To use their merchandise, you must undertake their training program and understand the products before they allow you to promote them. René Furterer is an expert hair care brand with products made of essential oils and plant extracts, designed to reveal and enhance beautiful hair. They use a unique and original method that offers personalized treatments available as a salon service, or take-home personal care.
A pioneer in hair care, René Furterer dedicated his life’s work to the following principle: Beautiful hair grows from a healthy scalp, just like a plant in fertile soil. This parallel between hair and nature is a perfect illustration of René Furterer’s drive to use hair-enhancing active ingredients from nature.
Most shampoos are too hard on hair colors. René Furterer has shampoos for thin hair that actually make the hair thicker. It is the only product I carry. René Furterer guarantees its work; I guarantee René Furterer. Great product.

I teach Argentine tango privately to one or two people at a time. I fell in love with the traditional music of the Golden Age of Tango, the thirties and forties and the traditional social dance of the tango called the "milonga". I teach about angles, close embrace and very precise movements - just like my hair styling.
Argentine tango is danced in an embrace that can vary from very open, in which leader and follower connect at arm's length, to very closed, in which the connection is chest-to-chest, or anywhere in between. Close embrace is often associated with the more traditional styles, while open embrace leaves room for many of the embellishments and figures that are associated with tango nuevo and show tango.
Tango is essentially walking with a partner and the music. Musicality (i.e. dancing appropriately to the emotion and speed of a tango) is an extremely important element of dancing tango. A good dancer is one who makes you see the music. Also, dancers generally keep their feet close to the floor as they walk, the ankles and knees brushing as one leg passes the other.
Argentine tango relies heavily on improvisation; although certain patterns of movement have been codified by instructors over the years as a device to instruct dancers, there is no "basic step." One of the few constants across all Argentine tango styles, is that the follower will usually be led to alternate feet. Another is that the follower rarely has her weight on both feet at the same time. Argentine tango is a new orientation of couple dancing. As most dances have a rational-pattern which can be predicted by the follower, the ballast of previous perceptions about strict rules has to be thrown overboard and replaced by a real communication contact, creating a direct non-verbal dialogue. A tango is a living act in the moment as it happens.
Argentine tango is danced counterclockwise around the outside of the dance floor (the "line of dance") and dance "traffic" often segregates into a number of "lanes"; cutting across the middle of the floor is frowned upon. In general, the middle of the floor is where you find either beginners who lack floor navigation skills or people who are performing "showy" figures or patterns that take up more dance floor space. It is acceptable to stop briefly in the line of dance to perform stationary figures, as long as the other dancers are not unduly impeded. The school of thought about this is, if there is open space in front of you, there are likely people waiting behind you. Dancers are expected to respect the other couples on the floor; colliding or even crowding another couple, or stepping on others' feet is to be avoided strenuously. It is considered rude; in addition to possible physical harm rendered, it can be disruptive to a couple's musicality.
I have taught differently-abled people, blind people and people with prosthetics. I welcome all those who are interested in learning how to dance social tango. My fees are $90 per hour.
