Get the Look!




   The rumpeled braid is one of the "Hot Mess" looks that will prove to be strong this spring and summer. Perfect braids tend to look old fashioned. The messiness makes it more youthful. Dishevled hair is taking on a more deliberate quality this spring.

  To achieve this look, First part the hair on one side, pull into a tight ponytail at the nape of your neck. Second, back comb the ponytail loosely and than loosely braid it. Secure at the bottom. Pull apart the strands slightly for that dishevled look. Go crazy, have fun, look great and stay cool this spring and summer.

Male Gray Blending

     As we ring in the new year......there are some great things happening in the world of male hair. First of all cuts are becoming more of a pampering experience then an in and out type of thing, also longer hair for men is back in style, men want to look clean cut but not as if they just got their hair cut. We are finding that more men like to go to an upscale hair salon rather than your local "chop shop". Sales for male clients in the higher end salon industry are up 30% since last year. What does that mean? It means that men are finding out what women have known for years......that you pay for what you get and a little extra attention goes a long way!
         A lot of men have thought about coloring their hair but do not know how to make it look like they don't color their hair, with that, a technique called gray blending is becoming more popular than ever with male clients, men defanetley do not want to look like they color their hair but who doesn't want to take 10 or 15 years off their looks with a subtle difference?This just means adding enough color to cover some gray but not all gray so that it blends, you can cover as little or as much as you want. What exactly is gray blending, you ask? It is a semi-permanent hair color which will slowly fade out in 4 to 6 weeks. In other words NO COMMITMENT! And let's face it, what guy doesn't like the sound of that?!
