It should come as no surprise that Paul Gerrard Salon loves evo. As a salon that emphasises high quality products, evo is one of the few that fit the bill. Our love for evo is not blind romance, but an affair backed by truths, results, and a few quirks.
#1 – No wacky ingredients
While other products claim to have rainbows on their list of ingredients to make you look as mystical as a unicorn, evo guarantees a complete lack of miracle cures. evo doesn’t have exotic dirts from the Amazon basin, nor animal extracts from the Himalayan just to sound good on its label.
#2 – Only what’s needed
Evo products are sulphate, paraben, dea, tea and propylene glycol free. What the follicle wizards at evo put into their product is just for one important reason — because your hair needs it.
#3 – Fuss-free packaging
Evo is high-end hair care line that packs a load of ingredients in sleek packages that pretty up your toilet shelves. You get what you pay for, and we are very sure it isn’t fancy packaging!
#4 – Loving mother nature
Animal and earth lovers can rejoice! No evo product is tested on animals. The packaging itself is made up entirely of recyclable material, and the company offset its carbon footprint.
#5 – Revenge against over-inflated truths
We like evo’s philosophy of side-stepping the industry norms by preaching only hair truth.Evo knows that your hair should look beautiful with minimal thought and minimal effort.
For us at Paul Gerrard Salon, evo is truly girlfriend-tested, boyfriend-approved breath of fresh air that works. Give it a whirl and tell us if you love it as much as we do!

As the importance of sustainability rises, green businesses such as Accor hotels have seen an increase of consumer interest. With evidence of more and more companies providing an economically aware atmosphere, customer loyalty to these businesses raise significantly as well. Green growth is proving to improve local environment as well as companies’ personal interests.
There are many influences that drive consumer choices such as availability, brand names, and price. However many customers have come to expect the products in stores and from their loyal companies to be green. Despite environmentally friendly products having a premium price to them, customers globally have been reported regularly stating that they would prefer paying the cost for the green label.
It is because of this increase of interest that it is also important for companies to provide an eco-label for their products, such as Accor hotels’ toiletries that are available in every hotel bathroom. Making sure that consumers are aware your green products is beneficial to both the customer and your company.
By raising the awareness of an eco-friendly brand, businesses benefit themselves, their consumers, and the environment. Many companies struggle with how to achieve this goal, however, but the answer can be found. Accor has developed a programme titled PLANET 21 which is based on increasing green growth. Referencing the site for statistics, research, and other helpful hints is highly encouraged.

We are witnessing a phenomenon in Asia; a clash of cultures within a culture. In the past we have thought of the divide as being economic, between rich and poor. This is still true, but now the currency is information.
Asia’s digitally savvy online consumers are utilising online information at a pace that dwarfs the West. 82% of internet connected consumers in Asia regularly use digital resources and social media to research brands. Online consumers in China are almost twice as likely as their U.S. counterparts to use social media in their brand decisions. So where are they getting this information? They aren’t!
The great divide: Whereas Asian culture is usually seen to be conservative, digital consumers have voraciously adopted digital platforms, social media and mobile. However, businesses remain true to a history of conservativism. Infact, Chinese culture is one of the most conservative in Asia. And with this conservatism comes a reluctance to embrace digital or more specifically social media. Since China is considered the manufacturing powerhouse of the world today, this creates a great divide between customers desire for brand information and Asian businesses willingness to provide. 
How will this culture reconcile itself? That is unclear. However, if business does not step up, the people will take charge of the brand and, in essence, negate the business’ contribution.
While many brides focus on finding the most beautiful wedding gown of their dreams, the wedding veil or wedding headpiece is often overlooked. Wedding veils and headpieces receive just as much attention from attendees as the gown because of its position on the bride’s face. When looking for a veil, one of the most important things to focus on is the fabric whether it is sheer enough. We have seen countless brides walking down the aisle with a blusher over their face that is so opaque that you are barely see the bride’s face. The bride’s entrance on the arm of her father is such an important moment that you really don’t want to not see the bride’s beautiful face. Thankfully, HITCHED! Bridal Hong Kong now carries handmade wedding veils designed by Sara Gabriel. Sara Gabriel produces only the most beautiful veils and headpieces that every bride would be excited to wear.
Just take this Siren veil below. With delicate Swarovski rhinestones generously sprinkled on each side of this wedding veil, this will elegantly and subtly cover a bride’s face. You can get this veil in pale ivory, black, and diamond white. Ask HITCHED! Bridal for options.
Another Sara Gabriel masterpiece is this Fifi veil below. This wedding veil boasts of Swiss Dot fabric - a not-so-common choice among brides. This bridal veil is a great choice for those who want to make a statement during their wedding! The length of this Fifi Veil by Sara Gabriel is up to 30 inches.
Which of these two bridal veils would you love to wear? Let us know through the HITCHED! Bridal Facebook Page.

Let's face the truth. HIV stigma and discrimination against people living with HIV and AIDS is a common occurrence, even in the more developed countries in the world. Advocacy 2.0 recommends that if you are HIV positive, you need to know what legal protections you have when battling HIV stigma.
Your workplace rights. Potential employers are not allowed to ask for your HIV status during the interview stage. If you are qualified for the job and an offer is made, your employer may then ask about your status, but the offer cannot then be withdrawn. You can’t be fired because of your HIV status either. Exceptions to this case are rare, so if it happens to you, that's discrimination.
Your health and medical rights. You do not need to declare your HIV status initially when seeking medical care. If you are HIV positive, health care professionals cannot refuse to treat you. Everyone, regardless of their HIV status, deserves equal treatment and medical attention, including health insurance.
Your housing rights. You have legal protections if your landlord harasses or evicts you because you are HIV positive. They also cannot deny a housing application because of your status. So long as you follow the tenant agreement and pay your rent on time, those living with HIV are legally equal to all other tenants.
While some of these rights apply everywhere, protection laws vary from country to country, and Advocacy 2.0 recommends that you check with an AIDS counsellor or local attorney to learn about your local laws. You can also find more valuable resources from our advocates and through coverage of the Advocacy2.0 Summit.
Being HIV positive does not mean you are an easy target. With information comes power to educate people around you, and to protect yourself. What HIV protection laws exist near you? What can be improved? Let us know in a comment or tweet!

Have you been tested for HIV? If your first reaction to that question was fear, you aren't alone. It's the universal reaction to getting tested for HIV. The good news is that this fear can be managed. How? With the large community of supportive HIV advocates that Advocacy 2.0 provides at your side. HIV testing can be a daunting thing, but being tested is the most important step in our battle to end HIV and AIDS.
Knowing your HIV status empowers you to do the right thing not only for yourself, but also the people around you. Making the unknown is known is a powerful catalyst in fighting against the spread of HIV.
Getting tested serves as a good reminder to practise safe sex and refresh your sexual health knowledge. Knowledge is power, and familiarizing yourself with the truths of contracting HIV will help you fight social stigma when you encounter it.
Knowing your status allows you to plan for the future. Should you test positive, counselors can guide your next course of action. You can also join an HIV-group for moral support and guidance. It is about taking the rein of control over the virus, and not the other way round.
Unless you get tested, it is impossible to know if you need life-saving treatment and care. Detected early on, it’s possible to live a long life with HIV. However, without proper treatment, HIV can take a large toll on your health and life expectancy.
The bottom line is that getting tested is an act of respect. It proves that you respect yourself and your partner. No matter how safe you were and are, accidents still happen and it’s better to be informed than ignorant.
Don't be afraid of your status. Get tested regularly at a facility near you and join your fellow HIV advocates in the fight against HIV and AIDS.
Where do you get tested in your country? Feel free to share in the comment section.

Summer is indeed in full swing in Hong Kong. Though at times our hair can be so bad that only scissors will help, there are things you can do for frizz-free beach days and glossy, sunny highlights. Paul Gerrard Salon preaches the following hair-saving techniques.
Protect your colour. In the summer heat, our carefully highlighted hair can come across wilted and dry. To protect it from the sun, we recommend keratin treatments to give your hair a shield of protein.
Watch it; your hair is singed! If your hair looks thin and weary, chances are your hair dryer is turned up too hot. It’s tempting to air-dry your hair in the summer, but to save your hair it’s best you use a nozzle, or turn the heat down a notch.
Get casual and go back to the basics. With the sun out in full force it is a great time to play with accessories and have your hair in braids, ponytails and buns. By giving your hair a break from blow-dry and chemical treatments, your hair will strengthen and heal naturally.
Avoid knotted hair while you sleep. Knots lead to breakages and split ends, so tie your hair up on top of your head when you go to sleep. This way you help each strand of your hair rest and prevent tangles.
Condition your hair at the gym. Before you hit the treadmill or spinning class, apply a mask or oil to your hair. After your workout, put on a plastic cap and have a go at the steam room. Your hair will come out all shiny and pampered.
These simple-to-follow steps help you to keep your hair fabulous and healthy throughout the summer, and until your next appointment at Paul Gerrard!
