Q-Redew Steamer Review

A portable Hair Steamer?  Yaaaasssssssssss! Okay people here's the scoop: I've spoken to most of my naturally curly clients about the benefits of using a steamer on their hair to MOISTURIZE! Read my review of the fabulous portable Q-ReDew.

Q-Redew hair steamer review:

This is a great tool to use at home or in hair salons to put moisture instantly into curly hair.  The most obvious feature is it's a portable hand held device. The water reservoir is on the front and the power button is located underneath the device which must be pushed on and held in while using. 

My first opportunity to use the Q-Redew was at the Natural hair expo in Las Vegas this fall. Natural & Sassy's founder Marita asked me if we would try it at our Curly Revolution booth and we got a great reception.  Many attendees were fascinated and curious as to how this small device could generate steam for natural hair.

The device is easy to use and as lightweight as some standard blow dryer's and would be perfect for the curly girl on the go. 

Once I plugged it in I immediately noticed a flaw.  The cord was very short and as a salon owner I would love to use this on my curly clients but I would need an extension cord. After powered on the small red led light will blink for about 30 secs while the water is heating up.  (A small amount of water must be poured into the reservoir first).  When the LED stays on red its time to steam. The only other problem that a consumer may have is that you have to hold down the power button to emit the steam. 

I took the Q-redew back to my salon and started testing it out on clients.  Again they were all surprised that this device that looks like a diffuser was actually steamer! We have began to recommend this tool as part of our consultations for our curly clients.

Overall, my final recommendation is to lengthen the power cord. The Q-redew should retail very well in the curly world especially dry climates or for curly clients with dehydrated hair.

The Architecture of a Great Hair Cut

Like any great building, a great haircut has to be built on a solid foundation otherwise the haircut will collapse. I'm a hairstylist that enjoys the art of creating beautiful haircuts. One of my favorite educators from Aveda's Global Creative Team is Antoinette Beenders. I attended an advanced cutting and styling class with her and she used an analogy I really liked. She said, "Building a foundation into the hair is much like stacking bricks or pouring cement.  If there is no foundation laid we can't build anything on top.  As hairstylists, we imagine ourselves on a scaffold redistributing or adding weight to the hair with our scissors, razor or clippers."  Antoinette's message was an ahh haa moment for me many years ago and has stayed with me throughout my career .  I love being creative with hair color and use advanced techniques, but shaping the hair has always been a passion of mine. Take a look at one of the worlds most famous buildings, most people can recognize and know exactly where it is located because of its unique shape.

Mik So Chic is known for her striking beauty in the Arts and Fashion community here in Vegas, take a look at her recent shape and color and share your thoughts.

A snapshot of my email the founder of the company Mr. Robert Reed:

I've been a fan of Ergo products since 2005 and I'm glad to hear you are back. I am a hairdresser that specializes in curly hair and I love the Ergo brushes! Before moving to Vegas in 2005, I worked for an Aveda salon in Kansas City, MO.  One of my coworkers went to COSMOPROF 2005 in Vegas and bought only 1 of the largest Ergo brushes. She allowed me to try it out and to my immediate delight I fell in love!  After moving to Las Vegas, I became the Artistic Director at Upstage Salon, where I met Ashley Lyon, who worked at the front desk. She only had  to sit in my chair one time and she was sold on the brushes.  I convinced our salon owner to retail the brushes and the blow dryers.... needless to say, they sold themselves.

Fast forward to present day, not only do I have about 20 Ergo brushes, but also 3 hot pads, a hot razor, and 1 blow dryer. I tell my clients about them all the time. Last year I learned that Ergo was out of business.  I scoured the internet until I found 10 more brushes!  I didn't care what size the salon had to sell me, I just wanted what they had left. So here I am, finding out by way of Ashley that you are back in business and I'm thrilled! 

Welcome back and best wishes!
