FAQ 

Q: What does Uptown Gel do?
A: It gives strong hold and volume — ideal for creating structured styles, defined curls, or body/lift, and keeps hair styled until next wash.

Q: Who should use Uptown Gel?
A: It works well for people wanting firm hold — from those with fine or thin hair needing volume and lift, to those with medium or thick hair needing control, texture, or defined styling.

Q: How do you use it for best results?
A: Apply a small amount to wet or damp hair, then style (air-dry, blow-dry, or use heat tools) as desired — or use a little on dry hair for sculpting and hold. Because it’s water-soluble, it washes out easily. 

Q: What are the benefits vs. a lighter styling cream or mousse?

• Stronger and longer lasting hold — ideal for structured styles instead of just light hold. 

• Adds volume and lift even on fine or limp hair. 

• Formula washes out easily (water-soluble), reducing buildup and allowing easy daily styling. 

Q: Are there any special features?
A: Yes — despite being a strong gel, Uptown Gel includes botanical extracts, and its water-soluble, flake-free formula is designed to give hold without stiffness or heavy residue. 

Q: What kind of results can clients expect?
A: Fuller, voluminous hair with texture and hold; more defined styles that last all day; easier styling for fine or thinning hair; and clean washing-out at shampoo time.

Q: Why should a salon or stylist offer Uptown Gel?
A: It’s a versatile, salon-ready styling tool: good for clients needing hold, volume, or shape retention; builds value for styling services; and fits well for fine/thin-hair clients who want lift and structure.
