Time To "Extend" Your Options!

8/21/2017

0 Comments

 
Extensions are a great way to play around with different colors as well as different lengths.
 
It can be really exciting to choose a great style for your extensions because many options come into play, allowing you to express your unique personality.  Are you a carefree spirit? A sports advocate? Perhaps you are a fashionista or a career oriented business woman?  No matter your lifestyle or your daily regimen, extensions can provide a new and easy ways to enjoy life.
Time for Extensions
Take for example, this fun, easy style.  It's sassy, razor cut angled bob, that has been enhanced with coco and caramel highlights.
 
With this style, you have all of the elements of short, chic, summertime flair, streaked with warm,  luxurious color ... and no long term commitment.  Perfect!  
 
With extensions, you can have the best of both worlds.  Try the colors and cuts of your desire and get a great experience of knowing how your natural tresses would look. 
 
And what about maintenance?  I’m pleased to tell you that this style is super easy to maintain. Just use a silk scarf to tie up your hair at bedtime to preserve the sleek style and maintain healthy hair.

Let me show you some great styles and how extensions  can bring more diversity to your lifestyle.  Connect with me for a complimentary consultation.

Have a More Colorful Summer!

Hair color is a great way to add a little spice to your lifestyle. Yes, lifestyle….color can be a HUGE part of building a sense of one’s self confidence.  Just like your brilliant personality, hair colors come in different formulas and require different levels of care and commitment to yield the desired results.
Picture
 A “pop” of color can add interest and excitement to your natural hair style.  Each natural curl will catch the summer sun and bring out the beauty that is intrinsic to natural hair styles.  

Executing the right color is a serious accomplishment. As a professional stylist,  I can safely take your hair to a darker or lighter shade while keeping it healthy and strong.
Picture
Do you love summer breezes?  Then you’ll love what a little color can do to add depth to your cut or style … color is  great way for men and women to cover grays and it works for all types of hair. 

I’ve mentioned the care and commitment that goes along with your decision to get color for your hair, but I can’t stress these two actions enough….care and commitment.  When you and I meet for a color consultation, I can tell you how very safe and acceptable your color choices can be. Set up your consultation at least 48 hours prior to getting any treatment. 
Picture
There you have it …a great cut, a great style and great color can really amp up your look, plus you have many options from which to choose:  temporary color, semi-permanent color, demi-permanent color, permanent color, hi-lights or lo-lights!

Connect with me for color. Have you visited me at my new location? Keep in mind that Color services should ALWAYS be administered in a salon, so book your color services with me today …and have a more colorful summer!

Color Correcting - A Cool Tip for Warm Weather 

5/5/2016

0 Comments

 
Using Color Correcting Concealers is an extra step that can be taken before or after foundation has been applied to the face. I personally prefer to “color correct” before applying foundation.
 
In future blogs I’ll talk about many of the various Color Correcting Concealers like lavender, green, yellow and more; however today I want to focus on how to effectively conceal dark marks!!

In the picture on the left, you’ll see my model before I used color correction on a dark spot, beneath her eye, from a scar.  In the picture on the right, you'll see the  marvelous after-affect that was created when I used an Orange Color Correcting Concealer.
Color Correcting - Before
Color Correcting - After

You may be thinking “orange”??   Admittedly, orange may not sound very appealing, but as you can see, the orange neutralizes the blue under-tone of the dark area and works really well for a very natural outcome when applied properly under foundation.  Orange Color Correcting Concealer is commonly used around the mouth area and in the under-eye area.
 
As warmer weather approaches, this can be a cool and beneficial step, because by neutralizing the darker areas of the face, less foundation is required and flawless coverage is even easier to achieve.

Makeup Primer and Other Tips for Warmer Weather

3/11/2016

2 Comments

 
Makeup primer is used to help your foundation stay in place and go on smoothly.

Varying skin types will determine the type of primer that will be best for you.

There are Primers for oily ,dry or aging skin or skin types that need refining due to acne scarring large pores and more.

Primer can be a cream, a lotion or a serum.

Primers can be worn alone or under foundation
Picture
A great trick for the upcoming a warmer weather is using a  BB  or CC cream.
This product is used under foundation but used alone offers a great natural look to the skin,  will give very light coverage and will aid in camouflaging dark marks and dark  circles.

This is a great tip for when running quick errands or looking stress free at the gym!!
