LOOKING FOR a new hair
Style but just can’t decide
what’s for you?

Look into Donald James Hair
Design in the Park Royal Mall for
well-trained and experienced staff
who know what hair is all about
and how to handle it.

“All my staff have been (in the
hair business) for 20 years or
more,’’ says manager Donald
McRae. ‘‘There’s four of us at
present and I’m adding three.”

And this experience shows where
it really counts — on your hair.

Before the scissors come out, the
consultation process begins. ‘‘We
prefer this because with some of
the new clients it’s hard to know
what they want.

“We'll sit down and talk to
them about what they want to
do,”’ he says, ‘“‘Maybe something
upbeat or whatever, but we try to
determine the lifestyle.”’

Then the staff member will
perhaps make some suggestions.

For those who would like to see
what their new style might look
like before the styling starts,
Donald James has magazines with
full-sized photos.

The shop carries a wide range of
hair-care products and boasts the
largest selection in West Van-
couver. And these products are
from the top of the line.

McRae learned his extensive
product knowledge while spending
a year in Hawaii and says that all
of the products used at the shop
have been already tried.

“We try them out,”’ he says.
“We're constantly having classes
because we want to know all about
it (the product) before we use it.’’

McRae and all his staff know
where the products go and where
they don’t.

Different hair conditions mean
different approact.es and al! pro-
ducts will not work in al! situations

— or they might have to be applied
in a certain order.

“If one of you has dry hair and
the other has split ends you might
use the same products but in a dif-
ferent order,’ McRae says in ex-
planation.

As well, McRae and the folks at
Donald James Hair Design always
look for the best way to do things
— best for the customer that is.
There are so many ways to do
things, he says, that it takes an ex-
perienced person to know what’s
what.

For instance, a customer won’t
walk out of the shop with a high-
care style that’s difficult to manage
if the style is not appropriate for
that person.

Right now, the shop is offering a
number of specials on hair ser-
vices. One of these is a product
special on fine Joico line products.

The customer gets a shampoo
and condition of the best-suited
Joico product depending on hair
type, and gets a two-ounce bottle
to take home. ‘‘When_ they’re
finished using it they can come
back and get 15 per cent off on
their next Joico product.”

And shoppers don’t have to
have their hair styled to shop for
Christmas gifts at Donald James.
“Tf we don’t have it we'll make an
effort to get it.”’

Offering a selection of
Christmas gift items, the shop is a
must see for this season’s shopp-
ing. Offering a full selection of ac-
cessories, there’s everything from
stocking stuffers, to curling irons
to hair service gift certificates.

A Joico Christmas pack that
retails for about $14 is on sale for
under $10; a special Mastay
package that retails for $17 is right
now on sale for $12.95.

Also on special is a Scruples
perm, ‘‘It's been back East for a
