Twisted Around

Different hairstyles are so fun to do. Especially for a little change when your tired of the same style you always wear. I know that I am always talking about change, but that's because it is so good for people to feel more alive! It makes you happier with yourself when you know that your not stuck in your "always" look. A fun thing to try for any girl is curly hair.


Take a day where you have time after your shower to mess around with your hair. Mess around with any natural curl you have or just by curling it yourself. Curly hair in every kind of way can be fun a cute on any length. You just need to know how to control your curls once your finished.


Now sometimes whether your using your natural curl or curled it yourself we get those frizzies or fly aways. There's a way to control them that I love to do, and this way will also give your curls more definition and shine. What I like to do is to take a little bit of an serum like Redken's Argan Oil or Pureology's Shine Max with a little of Pureology's Texture Twist and "cocktail" them together. I only use a drop of serum and a the size of your pinky nail for the twist. This is a hairstylist secret that we do to your hair, we "cocktail" products to get what we want. So with the oil/serum gives you shine and also helps with fly aways, but works best with Texture Twist. The Twist helps define those curls, and once you get a little of each product mix them together in your hands. I rub the product into my hands always so I don't get to much product in one place. It helps it go on where you want it.

Go try some "cocktailing" but be careful sometimes it always doesn't work with some products. Normally if the products are in the same family they will always work better. This cocktail is a simple one and I recommend to try this one and leave the others to your stylist. You can book an appointment with me for a style and I can do some on you and curls that will give you a fun look for the day. Try something new.

Highlighting Fun

Sometimes our look needs something different. You might like the way your hair looks and be very happy with it, but still feel like you need a change. I have felt this way before where you love your hair, but to tell the truth you are a bit bored with it. Well, a fun way to have a bit of change this summer is adding a little color to your life.


Adding a pop of color to your look could be just what you need. You also don't need to add to much wear it changes to much. One of my clients this last week came in to get her color done. We normally just keep her blond highlights she already has with her natural brown hair, but we decided that she needed a little change. We ended up adding a little bit of red violet highlights to her hair what is just what she needed. What it did is just gave her a overall different tone of color to her hair. It's very pretty and when the sun hits her hair you can see the red in her hair come out.


Red is the new hot color trend going around, and you can start off small like I did with my client. It gives you a little of fun in your life for this summer, and the summer sun will help show off your hot new color. So play around with something different this season and have fun.

Liquid Smart

Summer is here and I am so happy with all this warm weather. Most of you know already that our bodies change with the seasons. So, naturally we need to change our lifestyle to these seasons.


With the summer heat we want to make sure were drinking enough water, and not getting dehydrated on other drinks. One of the common problems with not drinking enough water is our skin takes a beating. We will have better skin that has that natural glow if we drink more water. Most of the time when we breakout we can help it out by giving our body more H2O. We can avoid them by doing so. I know that's it's hard, it's hard for me too!  But we all need to have goals in our lives. It gives us something to strive for and to feel good about when we have accomplished them.

Have you ever struggled with dark circles under your eyes? And you fight every morning with concealer trying to get rid of them. Well the easiest way to fix those circles is by drinking more water and make sure your getting about seven hours of sleep each night. It's always good to use a little lighter color than your foundation under your eyes to help you look fresh, but adding more water to your everyday lifestyle can help with how much you have to wear. You can get your natural beauty coming out by just taking care of yourself. The way our body reacts has a lot to do with what were putting into it, and it can be helped by the simplest thing of drinking water. So next time you sit down to have a drink choose your friend H2O instead of the alternative.

June's Special

This month's special can fit for just about anyone. If you haven't read some previous posts of mine, then you need to know that you should be getting a haircut every seven to eight weeks. Whether your maintaining a shorter cut or trying to grow it out. Your hair needs those split ends off in order to be the healthiest it can be, and you will love it.


The special for June is,  
receive a
 Free Brow Wax when you come in a for your Designers Haircut.

With your fresh new haircut why not have your brows looking great as well? For us girls, having our brows taken care of can really change how we look for the better. If you keep up on it or you have never had them waxed you will love it. One thing that I love about my eyebrows being shaped up is my make up looks so much better when they are shaped. You'll also love putting your eye shadow on with them waxed. 

My contact info is at the bottom of my blog, so call and schedule an appointment or you can comment on here and will get you looking great!

Playful Spray

 There's another product that I am going to brag up. I have been using it for the past couple of months, and I don't know what I would do without it. I have always loved using a little hairspray with every style I wear, and especially now that my hair is getting longer.



If you have problems with pesty fly aways or just wanting to hold somewhat of a style with it still being movable I suggest Pureology's Strengthening Control hairspray. It isn't one of those stiff hair sprays that can weigh your hair down. This hairspray will help manage your hair throughout the day with still having it move around and being playful.
Pureology's Strengthening spray has a heat protector in it and since it's Pureology it also protects your color. It protects it from those harmful sun rays that can harm your hair just as such as your skin. One of my favorite ways to use this product is when I curl my hair I spray it in afterwards and run my fingers through my hair. Now, this might not work for all of you because all of our hair is different. My hair holds a curl pretty easy, it does relax by the end of the day but I have always liked more of the wavy look. Not everyone will like this product, but I can tell you that if you have bangs that you like to have swept but playful this spray is for you. If you would like some let me know and I can hold some for you at the salon. I hope all of you have a great day!
