TEXTURE! Work it like a Celebrity!

“Ask for a graduated bob with a face-framing angle around the front to give the hair movement,” You don’t want it to look like a layered haircut, but the angle in the front helps your hair move away from your face." Surface Swirl" will also get that breezy just-stepped-out-of-the-convertible effect that’s ideal for bob haircuts. One last hint: To flatter square faces, try rounding out the bob by adding piecey bangs, like Jessica Alba does

For Dianna Agron’s sweet allover waves, request longish bangs that will easily blend into your hair. They’ll give you the freedom to make a part on the left, right or wherever..

 

Midlength Cut With Layers

If we didn’t love Mad Men so much, we’d sort of hate January Jones for always looking so effortlessly glam. Exhibit A: her tousled, midlength bob. If your hair is fine, ask your stylist to snip in a few layers like hers to help create the illusion of fullness. “But not too many or it will look like a shag,” For Jones’ controlled bedhead, skip the brush when you blow-dry..

Section Inspection

One challenge most clients face is properly recreating their style at home once they leave the salon. Help them out by doing a little section inspection to see how they section their hair when blow drying, says Sam Villa. For clients that need help, give a tutorial and they’ll be thrilled! “Sectioning provides more control of the brush, tension, heat, airflow and direction, and proper sectioning will change the way clients style their hair forever,” Sam explains. Here are his top sectioning tips:

1. Divide the head into four quadrants and section out each
quadrant; start at the nape of the neck and work your way up.
2. Use proper sectioning clips to isolate and control each section, and never take a section that’s wider than your brush.
3. Section depth should be about 1 to 1½-inches depending on density.
4. Hold the brush in your writing hand and the blow dryer in the other hand about a ½-inch apart.
5. Position the blow dryer parallel to the brush; NEVER put the nozzle directly on the brush, it will burn the blow dryer motor out, damage brush bristles and burn hair.

Hot Tips for Great Summer Hair

Flat ironing isn’t just for curly or coarse hair, a flat iron can help add tons of shine and polish to fine hair, too. But it’s important to remember a few key rules when flat ironing fine hair. First, instead of taking large horizontal sections, take smaller diagonal-back sections. This prevents the hair underneath from getting pinched in the flat iron and allows the hair to fall at its natural fall position. Next, take your comb in the opposite hand with the teeth facing up and take the section in your comb. As your flat iron comes in, start moving the iron before the plates are even closed all the way. Allow the comb to lead your hand and move slowly to create a nice bevel. For fine hair, make sure the hand holding the flat iron is far away from the plates for less compression. The thicker or coarser the hair, the closer you should hold your hand to the plates. Make sure you move slowly down the section; the rate of speed will determine the success of your flat ironing skills, also keep in mind that you have the proper heat setting for your type of hair

Featured Artist

Since the end of 2010, we opened up a portion of the Salon to an all handmade/hand crafted retail boutique. We selected artists and crafters from all over the state of Minnesota to bring our customers a unique selection to peruse while getting their hair done.

Over the next few months we will be showcasing our artists to give you the inside scoop on their products and why we think they are so special!

First, lets start with Light Reading.

Started by Brenda Irwin and her daughter Jess, they started the Light Reading collective which features decorative lampshades, knitwear,  vintage items, book marks and so much more. They combine new things with a vintage, old Hollywood feel to bring you one of a kind finds.

Keeping up with Trends

Now that the holidays are over, the next thing to look forward to is spring! One great way to get ready for a new season is with killer new haircolor. This year, spring haircolor is all about gold. From lamé mini-dresses to glittering brocade, the runways of New York Fashion Week shimmered with accents of gold, and that look is translating right from the catwalk and onto your head!. Update your brunette with a color similar to J Lo’s. “Jennifer Lopez’s beautiful chestnut brown will be huge next season!” 

For redheads, think Emma Stone pre-platinum. “A really strong base of deep, almost burgundy color creates extra sass and personality,”
