Choosing the Right Hair Color For You by Jaimie Woehr

Choosing the Right Hair Color for You
By Jaimie Woehr

Choosing the right hair color isn't as easy as picking a color you like.
It's important to consider your natural hair color, your skin tone and eye color when choosing a new hair color.

Pale skin suits pretty much all hair colors.
Avoid shades of red or golden blonde if your skin is pink.
Stick to ash tones to neutralize your coloring.

Avoid yellow, gold or orange tones if your skin is yellow.
Stick to deep reds.

Olive skin suits darker hair colors.

What type of clothing colors suit you best?
If you know this, it can help you choose the right hair color.

If you look good in red, orange, golden yellow, olive green or rust
You suit warm hair tones such as golden blonde, golden brown, strawberry blonde and auburn.

If you look good in bluish red, fuscia, black, royal blue or pine green
You suit cool hair tones such as platinum, ash blonde, ash brown, burgundy and jet black.

If you look good in red, purple, charcoal grey, periwinkle or teal
You suit neutral tones like sandy blonde, beige blonde, chocolate brown and mahogany.

Warm tones will bring out the pink in your skin, so if you've got redness to your skin, go for cool tones - champagne, sandy or ash blonde, or cool browns.

Warm gold or reds suits olive-toned or ashy skin.

Red is the hardest color to maintain. The shade will change almost from shampoo to shampoo so be prepared for the fade.Choose coppery-reds instead of blue reds for a more natural hair color.

Grow-out Guidelines by Cheryl Wright

Grow-out guidelines: pointers to make the process painfree!
By Cheryl Wright

1) Don't skip your haircut appointment Trimming your hair while growing it out is a must. As your ends get dry and split, they will continue to split up your hair shaft. By getting tiny frequent trims you keep your hair healthy and strong.

2) Consider changing your color You may feel like you are waiting a lifetime for your hair to grow. Switch up your color to keep you from giving up the fight against time.

3) Change the shape of your style A style that was cut to be worn at a shorter length can grow into something unruley. By collapsing heavy areas or adding some texture can make a world of difference.

4) Retrain your style techniques Tools and products that were used to acheive your old look might need to be put in your cabinet. Try different products and techniques to shift into a new look.

5) Add some interest around your face Consider adding some bangs of face framing fringe to put the focus on your new detail instead of the fact that your hair is in transition.

Know Your Face Shape by Cheryl Wright

Know Your Face Shape and Choose The Most Flattering Look

By Cheryl Wright

Round Face Shapes

Your goal is to create less volume around the face. You also want to minimize the appearance of roundness.

Styles that are flattering and stylish: Try cuts that fall just below the chin. Soft, graduated layers are a great bet because they make your face appear slimmer and tend to remove bulk and weight from the sides. Consider wispy and tapered ends. These de-emphasize the roundness of your face. Bangs are flattering, but keep them long or side-swept.

Avoid: One-length, blunt cuts if you have short hair. Curly, short hair is also a no-no. These only emphasize your roundness.

Celebs who share your face shape: Fergie, Kate Bosworth, Oprah Winfrey, Cameron Diaz, Kirsten Dunst, Michelle Williams, Catherine Zeta-Jones

Tools you need: You will need to grab the perfect round brush suggested by your Dolly.

Square Face Shapes

If you have a square face, you'll want to play down your strong, angular jaw. Texture, in the form of curls or choppy ends, does this brilliantly. You can also get away with short, spiky cuts and long, sleek styles with layers that start at the jawline and continue downward.

Avoid: One-length bobs (especially chin-length) and blunt-cut bangs. These will make your face look even more square.

Celebs who share your face shape: Gwyneth Paltrow, Demi Moore, Angelina Jolie, Isabella Rosellini and Rosario Dawson

Tools you need: Try Redken’s new Wax Blast to show the definition in your texture.

Oval Face Shapes

The oval face is the most versatile shape. You can pull off almost any look: short or long, straight or wavy. For your own most flattering look, consider your best feature and highlight it with your hair cut. If you have gorgeous bone structure, consider an angular bob that shows off your chin. Great eyes? Blunt or side-swept bangs are a great bet.

Styles that are flattering and stylish: sophisticated bangs, bangs, long beachy waves (think California surfer girl).

Avoid: Short layers that add height on top of your head. Aside from being dated, short layers can make your face appear long. If your hair is thick or curly, avoid a blunt cut. You'll look like a pyramid. If you have curly hair, short hair is generally a no-no. Try shoulder-length or longer to weigh down your curls.

Celebs who share your face shape: Kate Hudson, Jessica Alba, Jada Pinkett Smith

Tools you can't live without: A great curling iron and flat iron to create waves and straighten your sleek locks.

Long or "Oblong" Face Shapes

The perfect haircut is one that doesn't drag down the face, yet adds width.

Styles that are flattering: Brow-skimming bangs. Chin-length bobs are also ideal because they create the illusion of width. Just make sure your stylist cuts the hair a bit shorter in the back so it doesn't look boring. Curls and waves work well because they add width to the face.

Be careful with long hair: Hair that is too long like Demi Moore’s can drag down the face. Long layers work best with pieces hitting at the nose, the chin and the collarbone. Consider a v-shaped style where the length is mainly in the back, while the sides and front of your hair appear shorter. Also consider adding wave or curls to the hair.

Avoid: Stay away from the extremes. Don't go longer than the collarbone and avoid a skull-capping super short cut.

Celebs who share your face shape: Sarah Jessica Parker, Ashlee Simpson, Liv Tyler, Giselle Bundchen

Styling tools you can't live without: A great volumizer. Try Bumble and Bumble thickening spray.

Heart Face Shapes

Your pointy chin tends to be the focal point of your face. Draw attention to your eyes and cheekbones instead with side-swept bangs, brow-grazing fringe, a strong part and hair that falls at or below your jawline. Have short hair? Keep top layers soft and long. Long hair? Go for long layers that graze your cheek bones.

Avoid: Short, blunt-cut bangs and harsh, choppy layers.

Celebs who share your face shape: Katie Holmes, Jennifer Lopez, Rachel Bilson, Reese Witherspoon

Style Tip for Fall 2010 by Melissa Rossi

Style Tip for Fall 2010
By Melissa Rossi

Style tip for Fall 2010, is a little ambiguous, but great news for our fast paced lives. Hair styles should not be too straight or too curly. (not spiral, or perfect) Yeah, easy! If you flat iron, take bigger sections and if you are curling your hair, don't curl every single section. When curling your hair, loosen the curls with your fingers. Put your head upside down, shake it out with your fingers for instant volume, place it where you'd like, then hair spray and you are off running!

Has the summer been brutal on your hair? Some tips to help! By Melissa Rossi

Has the summer been brutal on your hair? Some tips to help!
By Melissa Rossi



The summer has been brutal on our hair. My clients have been in dire need of moisture. I've been recommending conditioning treatments in between color and haircut appointments. Coming back to the salon to get a deep penetrating conditioning treatment is nice because we can tailor the conditioning treatment towards our clients specific needs. Our treatment lines can be cock tailed to manage any type of damage. For instance, if you have chemically distressed dry hair, we can mix a protein and moisturizing solution to help both issues to restore the pH to a normal, healthy state. If you cannot afford to come back in between appointments I highly recommend, Hydracure by Pureology. It is a great new conditioning product that would be excellent for restoring moisture to color treated, fine hair.

The Retro Bob by Melissa Rossi

The Retro Bob
By Melissa Rossi

My clients have been asking me what fall styles will be this year, and after doing a little research online I found that bobs are holding strong. I think the appeal is that it's a timeless and easy hairstyle to maintain. Our lives are so fast paced, I can understand why. You have two options when going with the classic bob; layered with texture or blunt. These two styles seem to be the most popular among celebrities. What was really adorable in my opinion was the beautiful retro curled bob looks. They really remind me of Marilyn Monroe. Simply beautiful & classic! This look is soft and feminine.

Style Trends for Fall & Winter 2010/2011

Style Trends for Fall & Winter 2010/2011

By Alecia Brown

For this season hair styles are at their extreme!

Long hair becomes even longer, while short hair becomes super short. When it comes to hair color look for radical changes. When thinking about color go for something the complete opposite of your natural color. Remember, extreme hairstyles are in!

If you have long hair...
Go with very long naturally textured hair. Regardless of it being curly or straight. Put aside all your harmful styling tools. Try going for a middle part for a trendy, yet effortless look.

If your hair is super short...
Own it. This is the perfect look for fall & winter! This look is especially good on those with blond & curly hair. This type of hairstyle is very multilateral. Today you can be a strong business woman, tomorrow you can adopt a skittish look, and in the evening you can play the passionate woman. All the necessary tools for it are your imagination, creativity and self-confidence. Besides, this is hairstyle can always depict you in a favorable light, enhancing the beauty of your face.

If you have a bob... (or are thinking of getting one..)
Go with a short layered bob to be on top of trends this fall. If you don’t dare to cut your hair into a short bob, you can still be trendy wearing the longer version. Bobs are easy to style, are very practical and fit great for every face shape. They can be suitable for the office style or sexy and glamorous for a date.

When styling, go retro!
Retro hairstyles from the 1940s will continue as an inspiration for womens hairstyles in this fall & winter. Wavy hairstyle is suitable for all hair colors, but is less impressive on black hair.

Some professional tips for a beautiful, rich, retro hairstyle:
* Waves should be firm but not curly
* Wear it with an off-center or side part
* It must fall below the shoulders
* Combine with classic make-up and styling
