Rant of a Hair Stylist

Don't get me wrong, I love what I do and I am damn good at doing it. Every now and again you get THAT client. You Hairstylists know what I mean. I am going to explain. They sit in your chair and you begin to consult. "So how do you style your hair daily?" The give you their answer " I part it right here all the time and flat iron it straight and put some spray in." Then you continue with what are they looking for in a cut and style. " They say they do not want to lose length but wants a new look, I am not planning on blow drying or styling because I don't have the time to, but I want to look like this picture" The picture they usually 99% of the time is a volume blow out, with long layers, and what the client don't realize that picture probably took about an hour and a half to complete that hair. They think they are pointing at wash and go and don't realize #1 you need product, and I mean the right product for your hair type. #2 There is no such thing as a wash and go long layered, voluptuous hair style. #3 If you don't have the time, don't make me do the crime. People can bad mouth a stylist up and down the street. But 95% of the time it is bad communication between both client and stylist.

Fun beachy waves!

Have you seen the latest in celeb trends? If you have then you probably have noticed the lovely beachy fun wavy locks they are donning this summer. I am going to give you some tips on how and what to use to create this easy to do fun style. First you need to havve the right product in your hair. We use Soy Renewal beach spray By Healthy Sexy Hair. This will give your hair that just came back from the beach texture. After you shower difuse dry your hair about 50-75% dry. Then spritz the spray from root to end and scrunch. You can then allow the air to naturally dry your hair or continue to difuse your hair dry. I have personally partially dried my hair, spray the mist into my hair then put it up in a black elastic all messy, then about an hour or so later when you are ready to go out take my hair down and it has that awesome wave that lasts all night!

Ombre!!!!

Everyone is searching for that hollywood look. Right now the trend is going to be Ombre highlights. All the IT girls of hollywood are sporting this look. It's beachy, fun, and easy maintenance. Make sure you find a stylist that is knowledged in this area. You should always stay withing 3-4 shades of your natural color at the at the roots and the ends should flow into a lighter shade.

Your hair ages with you!!!!

Often I encounter clients who come in with a picture and say I want to look like this super duper model in this picture. Let me not forget a lot of clients are in their mid 40's to mid 50's and sometimes a little more seasoned. We all wish we had some super models something or other, but lets be realistic here. What clients tend to not realize is as they age so does their hair. Hair can change texture, thickness and lack rich color. Our hair takes a beaten through our lives and it will show its age at some point. The trick is to find professional products that are non stripping to the hair and that will add moisture and nourishment. Stick to organic non sulfate shampoos that are mild enough for even the stubbornest hair and skin. They will not stip or damage the hair cuticle more than it is. Also another great trick is to get semi-pemanent keratin treatments. They pose no health risks and are very quenching to the hair. They preserve color as well as repair damaged split ends. For grey hair, try matrix ultra violet shampoo to keep your hair silver and not dingy. Just remember we may not all look like or ever will look like those super duper models but with the right hair stylist we can always give you what you need to look and feel your best.

Hat head redemption!

So even though it is sunny out the air is chilly and causes us to sometimes be subjected to wearing a hat. I love hats, fashion hats but, we know what it does to our materpiece hairstyle that took us all morning to accomplish. I have the best revolumizing product for you. Big Sexy Hair has an aerosol volumizing mist. Unbelievable stuff!!!!! Just lift random sections of hair(no need to be percise) and angle the bottle toward your roots. Hold the can about six inches away from the root area. Scrub your finger tips through it as though you were washing your hair and your lifeless hair style will plump right up. This stuff is a number one selling product and sells quicker than it comes in. Try it for yourself you will LOVE it!
