Hair tip of the day: Gift Certificates!

Gift Certificates for a haircut, color, or even a blow dry can be a great gift. Whether it's their Birthday, Anniversary, a Graduation or just because, it's a great present for Men and Women. I have many choices of Gift Certificates with pretty envelopes for all occasions. What a special treat for someone that has everything. Almost everyone needs to get a haircut at some point. And the fact that they won't have to pay for it is a major bonus! :)

Hair tip of the day: Celebrity Styles!

I know it sounds like common sense but when you see a hair style on a celebrity, friend, co-worker or stranger make sure that you are looking at the hair cut. It's easy to get engrossed in someones whole look, not just the haircut. Even if someone has your same face shape and hair type, if their overall style (fashion wise) is different, it's not going to play out the same. If you are preppy and the hairstyle is rocker, make sure that it's the haircut and not the essence of the person that you are liking the look of. It's kind of like an art gallery... you may appreciate the art, but not want it in your home!:)

Hair tip of the day: Tone up your hair!

Hair fades over time. Whether you color your hair or not, many factors lead up to the hair losing pigment. The sun, chlorine, the age of the hair, thermal styling... all lead to hair losing it's luster. Tone up the color of the hair with a tinted color gloss. It will add shine and manageability, while also adding tone back to the hair. If you are a brunette, who has never colored your hair but noticed the trip to Hawaii left the hair lighter than preferred, toning is a fantastic option! It's a semi-permanent gloss that will add new life to your natural color. It will not change the natural color of the hair. Over time the toner will gradually fade away. Anyone who does color their hair will periodically need a toner to refresh the ends. Everybody's hair, whether natural or tinted can benefit from a color gloss. Tone up that hair (no gym required)!:)

Hair tip of the day: Technology Rocks!

I know that not all stylist do it yet but utilizing the computer for appointments, sending pics of possible haircuts, etc. is so awesome! Whether you are a busy parent or a busy CEO, it is so nice to pop off an email about needing an appointment. My clients send me emails when it's convenient for them and give me times and days that will work for their appointment. If they are looking for a change and are surfing the web, they just send me the link and ask "what do you think?". If you aren't emailing and would like to for your appointments, please do! If you have pics that you'd like to show me, email them to me! If you like the phone, then kick it old school. I'm down for any form of communication! See ya soon!:)
