Moroccan Oil, Lady Gaga, and Vogue Magazine

Moroccan Oil is one of our favorite hair product lines here at Emerson Salon! We love it and so do our customers, we can barely keep it on the shelves!!

Vogue magazine recently featured an article about Moroccan Oil on its website and highlighted its ability to refresh and revitalize your hair. They shared with us that on Oscar night many celebrity hairstyles incorporated this styling line including Maggie Gyllenhaal, Charlize Theron and Anna Kendrick. This luxurious product is very popular right now with celebrity stylists with Orlando Pita, Rachel Zoe, Enzo Angileri and for goodness sakes Lady Gaga uses it. What’s good for Lady Gaga is good with us! Read the whole article here.

Moroccan Oil has many beneficial properties to its products but also uses many socially conscious and free trade programs in its operations. This line is not tested on animals and also does not contain any animal based ingredients. We also recently learned that a % of profits go to a Moroccan women co-op so we know that these products help sustain the communities it receives its high quality ingredients from. “Revenue from this project provides income to families and helps improve the working conditions of rural women. It is also used for reading, writing and management classes, as well as for modern infrastructure and technology that help make harvesting easier and more efficient, ensuring long-term management of the Argan forest.” (moroccanoil.com)

Moroccan Oil is only featured in limited professional salons and can be used in almost every hairstyle that needs shine and moisture. The coveted line uses anti-oxidants, UV filters, vitamins A + E, and phenols in addition to its proprietary blend of argan oil. All these features aid to fortify and soften thirsty hair while equalizing porosity. Tremendous with color treated hair- it can take an over processed blond and make it look instantly moisturized and shiny with one application.

If you would like to try this product line, we recommend scheduling a consultation with an Emerson Salon stylist in order to choose the exact right product for you. We are confident you will come to depend on it as much as we do!

Home Remedies for Dry Scalp

When you have dry, itchy, scaly scalp it is commonly referred to as dandruff.

In many cases, this common affliction is linked to a a yeast-like fungus called malassezia. This type of fungus usually resides on the scalps of most people without bringing about such problems. Occasionally, however the fungus may get a little out of control, causing rapid cell production to bump older coatings of skin from the outer layer in the form of flakes. Doctors are unsure why only some people seem more susceptible to this process than others. Increased oil production is one theory, while stress and hair products may contribute to oily scalp buildup.

Besides dealing with the white flakes of dead skin in your hair and shoulders, when you come down with dandruff your head will itch and your scalp will appear scaly. Individuals may also experience either an excessively oily or dry scalp during these periods.

Instead of going straight to the dandruff shampoos, try these cheap, at home-remedies instead. They will target just the scalp condition while leaving the hair’s moisture content and condition alone.

  • Use Tea Tree Oil: It is an anti-fungal. Mix the oil with shampoo, scrub, and leave it on the affected area for 15 minutes, then rinse.
  • Scalp Massage with oil: This will help slough off the dead skin cells as well as allow more blood flow to the scalp.
  • Rosemary, Nettle, Lime juice, Extra Virgin Olive Oil: Try any of these individually, together or combined in a shampoo, lotion or conditioner.
  • Or consult with your stylist or dermatologist if the problem persists.

The Kevin Murphy Advantage

At Emerson Salon, we have come to truly cherish our relationship with Kevin Murphy’s hair products. Here, we share with you their philosophy, their goals and a little history on Kevin Murphy himself:

Kevin Murphy has been an editorial and session stylist for over two decades since having his first work published in Australian Vogue in 1984.

After training at Vidal Sassoon in the UK, Kevin has made a real impact in his native Australia where he has worked with major fashion houses and graced the covers of all the major global print publications, often with his trademark unstructured, beach-hair look.

THE BUILDING BLOCKS OF GREAT.HAIR


Vitamins and amino acids work the outer surface of the hair; they are the beginnings of repair. Vitamins absorb quickly into the cortex of the hair, thickening the hair and reducing the formation of split ends. Fortifying and laying the seeds of repair. Allowing the moisture to hold onto your hair.


Moisturisers from Shea Butter, cocoa Butter and Mango smooth the cuticles and soften the hair. Extracts from Peruvian Bark, Bamboo, Orange blossom and Green tea coat and protect the hair. Rose Hip oil, Hydrolysed Silk and Aloe infuse the hair with a weightless moisture that lasts beyond your next shampoo.


Essential Oils and Antioxidants go much deeper than the scalp, repairing the hair on a cellular level, feeding the hair in the dermis layers where it is born. these ingredients are multitasking; repairing and regenerating. Their structure being so small they can pass through the cellular wall and deliver essenetial ingredients and nutrients to the basal layers of the scalp, helping your hair as it grows out. Making improvements to the quality of your hair. Keeping your great hair.

The Environment

We consider the environment in all our business decisions and try as much as possible to find cleaner, more sustainable methods of doing business.

Our bottles and tubs can be recycled so please don’t let them end up in land-fill. Whenever possible, we make our outer packaging from post consumer waste to avoid the need for trees to be chopped down.

Australia is such a long way from the USA and Europe, our two largest markets, so we have decided to move the manufacturing and distribution of KEVIN.MURPHY products to the USA. This will remove the need to ship full product to the USA and reduce the shipping distance to Europe by more than half. These decisions will substantially reduce the carbon dioxide emitted by the KEVIN.MURPHY business from shipping. KEVIN.MURPHY will remain a completely Australian owned and run business.

We do not test any of our products on animals.
