Origin Lab — A Place That Touches the Heart and Soul

There are places you visit, and then there are places that stay with you forever — Origin Lab is one of those places.

As I sit here enjoying one of Ibrahim and his incredible team's creations, I find myself thinking of my late mother and how much she would have absolutely loved this place. She would have walked in, looked around in awe, and ordered one of everything! I truly believe that somehow, through the warmth and love poured into every drink here, the spirit of these flavors will find their way to her in heaven. I miss you, Mom — more than words can say. 🤍

I am already planning to bring my dad and the entire family here very soon, because a place this special deserves to be shared with the people you love most. For all of us still here — cherish every sip, every moment, every visit.
Ibrahim and his team are creating something truly magical. The drinks are crafted with such artistry, care, and passion — from the flavors to the presentation, everything is next level. This is now without a doubt one of my absolute favorite coffee and matcha spots, and I will be back again and again.

Thank you, Origin Lab, for creating a space that not only delights the senses but also warms the heart. You are very special. ☕🌿💛

I’ve been quiet about hair for a while now. Hairdressing isn’t just what I do — it’s a huge part of who I am. Since losing my mom late last September, it’s been hard to find the words or the energy to share.

But I know my mom would want me to keep living, loving, and celebrating life with the people who matter most — my family, friends, and all of you wonderful clients.

Thank you to everyone who has supported me, checked on me, worked with me, and patiently put up with me during this time. I love you and I’m truly grateful.

This is my first post back — and I wanted to start with something that makes me happy: this vibrant red with the most beautiful curls. ❤️ I’ve always loved taking clients red. There’s something so powerful about it. It doesn’t just change the way you look — it brings a fresh boost of confidence, strength, and joy.

Here’s to new beginnings, beautiful hair, and celebrating life again. 💕

Optimism always

Happy Mother's Day, Mom.

I came to visit you today and brought you a latte and a warm croissant — just the way you loved them. I sat with you for a little while, and I could almost hear you laughing at me for being so sentimental. But I couldn't help it. Some things you just don't stop missing.

I imagine that wherever you are now, they must have the most extraordinary coffee beans — ones that put everything here on earth to shame — and that your latte is absolutely perfect, just like you deserved it to be every single morning.

We miss you, Mom. Every single one of us. The whole family has wrapped their arms around Dad, making sure he has everything he needs, making sure he is never alone. He misses you so deeply — more than words can hold — and we carry that with him every day.

I know what you would say to me if you could. I can already hear your voice telling me to let it go, to put it down, to rest. But Mom, I can't. Not yet. I made you a promise in my heart, and I intend to keep it. I will stop when I have finished, when I have said everything that needs to be said, and when I have exhausted every last option available to me. Every single one.

And when that day finally comes — when we see each other again — you are more than welcome to scold me all you want. I will take every word of it with a smile. Just please, when you're done, greet me with a hug, a kiss, a coffee, and a croissant.

I love you, Mom. More than you ever knew.

Lito

“Hi Mom, it’s me.

I’m so sorry I didn’t see how sick you really were, and that I didn’t start fighting for you sooner. I wish I could go back and change that—I carry that regret every day. But I want you to know your suffering is over now.

You’re safe, you’re whole, and you’re surrounded by peace in heaven. No more pain, no more doctors failing you, no more waiting for relief. You fought so hard for so many years, and I’m so proud of you.

I’m still here fighting for you today—not because I can bring you back, but because I refuse to let what happened to you happen quietly to anyone else. I’m holding Kaiser accountable, even if the odds feel impossible. This fight is for you, for your voice, and for every family that felt powerless like we did. I promise I won’t stay silent anymore.

I love you more than I can ever say. Thank you for being my mom. I feel you with me, and I’ll keep making you proud. Rest easy, beautiful soul. I’ll see you again one day.”

Dear friends and family,

Thank you for your loving messages, prayers, and support—they’ve meant so much to us. We’ll be holding a small memorial to honor my mother at:

Grissom’s Chapel & Mortuary
267 E. Lewelling Blvd, San Lorenzo, CA 94580

Date & Time: Wednesday, October 8, 2025, 1:00–4:00 PM

With gratitude,

Honoring my mother, Mirta Perez

Dear Friends & Family,

As many of you know, when we first opened Echos Hair Design nearly three decades ago, my mother began a tradition that became one of the most loved parts of our salon family. Each year, just before Thanksgiving and through Christmas, she would make her famous Cuban eggnog.

Clients looked forward to it so much that many of you would schedule your appointments around when the eggnog was arriving. You would often tell her it was the best you’d ever tasted and ask for her secret recipe. Those compliments always made her beam with joy—it wasn’t just about the eggnog, it was about the happiness she felt in making our guests feel special, and in supporting her son and daughter-in-law.

I wanted to share with you that my mother is now on her way to the next chapter of her journey, as she will soon be leaving us here on earth. Over the years, she deeply cherished all the kind words you shared when she came into the shop and met some of you in person.

The eggnog she lovingly prepared became more than just a holiday drink—it was an event that brought warmth, laughter, and connection to our salon family. That legacy of love, joy, and tradition will forever live in our hearts.

Thank you all for the memories you gave her, and for allowing her to bring a little piece of her Cuban heritage into your lives each holiday season.

With gratitude,

Eduardo & Jina

René Furterer Triphasic: Thicker-Looking Hair, No Prescription — Union Square, SF

When shedding starts to steal your confidence, you need a plan that’s gentle, science-backed, and easy to keep. At Echos Hair Design (Union Square, San Francisco) we map a simple René Furterer Triphasic routine that supports denser-looking hair and a calmer scalp—without the prescription aisle.

Why Triphasic works in real life (René Furterer Triphasic)

Targeted leave-ins: Reactional (sudden shedding) or Progressive (gradual thinning) ampuoles are dosed line-by-line on the scalp.

System approach: Pair the serum with Triphasic Shampoo and Detangling Conditioner to reinforce results and keep lengths glossy.

Stylist guidance: We’ll choose cadence, show sectioning, and set milestones (less visible shedding by weeks 4–6 for reactional cases; improved root feel by weeks 8–12 for progressive).

Your fast-start routine

Cleanse: Triphasic Shampoo 2–4×/week to refresh the scalp and prep follicles.

Treat: Reactional or Progressive vials as directed (we’ll map the schedule).

Condition: Triphasic Detangling Conditioner for slip and shine.

Style kindly: Low heat, wide-tooth detangling, silk sleep. Tiny amounts of 5 SENS oil for polish.
