In the beginning of a career in the hair industry we as stylist/colorist are taught many things. We learn how to weave foil into the hair in many different ways. We learn cutting techniques and how to do a great blow out. Invaluable information no doubt. The one thing that we don’t learn to do [...]
I have to admit that I can be a little slow to hop on a trend. I’m kind of a traditionalist when it comes to most things. But now that we’re seeing a strong trend for the Ombre look I decided to re-look at the Balayage effect. Of course I prefer to call it something [...]
The drug store brands are designed for easy pick up but rarely do they give the results they promise.
There seems to be a trend lately to do un-nessessary work on people. Instead of working simply and efficiently with hair color to achieve a look they are doing un-nessessary complex techniques so they can charge more for the service. This seems to be a trend here in Dallas. In the last month I’ve see [...]
Who run the world? Well Beyonce’ would like to think she does and I think most of her fans would as well. I like her and her music but I would like to see her with more of her natural hair color. I love her as a blonde however in my opinion her skin tone [...]
In the 1800s, chemists discovered para-phenylenediamine (PPD) and its use in the creation of synthetic dye. At the same time, it was found that hydrogen peroxide was a gentler and safer chemical for hair bleaching. These two discoveries paved the way for Eugene Schueller, who created the first commercial chemical hair dye, which he christened [...]
Pink hair seems to be hot these days. Katy Perry is doing it and now even Barbie is sporting the pink hair. Barbie’s hair is obvioulsy synthetic and that’s always a choice but Katy Perry on the other hand is done by using a semi-permanent color. Ealier this year it looks like she had been in [...]
Durring my daily watching of E news I saw an interview with Milla Jovovich. She has the cutest short bob that I haven’t seen in 20 years. She is a perfect example of someone with really fine hair. She could use extensions to make it long and beautiful like just about everyone else these days [...]
She either has bionic hair of she has a fantastic colorist. It’s no secret that Jessica Simpson wears hair extensions but from a professional eye her natural hair looks healthy. Even with all of the bleach and numerous color changes she manages to keep her beautiful locks on her head. Unlike some other celebs her [...]
I’m not one to take to things easily. This is well known. It took me a second to get used to the Ombre look. At first when I saw Cameron Diaz with this look I figured that she got tired of coloring it. I’ve grown to really like it but it seems that for some it’s [...]
I’ve been pretty well known for being a little harsh about hair extensions. However recently I’ve been pretty bowled over by Easi-Lengths by Easihair. I love the attachment as well as the quality of the hair. I’ve used Easihair’s tape in hair extensions on a couple of clients so far and it’s quick and is [...]
Recently the world had found out that Giuliana Rancic from E News has breast cancer.Thank goodnes they found it early. Not only do I love her for her stylish coiffure but also because she seems so nice. Anyone who watches Fashion Police on E can see that she’s the nicest on the pannel. My heart goes [...]
Let’s get to the basics shall we? There is no reason why a non hairstylist/colorist should know this but I’m beginning to believe that there are lots of hairstylists that don’t know or remember the basics of bleaching hair. There are 7 stages of undertone*that the hair goes through before it becomes a pale [...]
There seems to be a trend lately for women to have a very solid bleached look while keeping their base somewhat natural. Some people may think this is bleached hair gone wrong. Tara Harper from Most Eligible Dallas is a great example. Being old school I don’t understand why someone would want to leave the [...]
