Some of my Faves!

Are you searching for the right products for your hair?  Here are some of my favorites...

Oribe Texturizing Spray
If you are looking for a messy voluminous style then this product is simply amazing!  It even comes in a travel size.  Keep that little spray in your purse so when you're heading out for the night after work and your do is looking flat you can style it up in seconds!

Luminous Hairspray by Moroccan Oil
Ever get those frizzy little hairs sticking up after you already used hairspray to keep them down?  Well you will love this hairspray by Moroccan Oil if you want a more polished look.  This hairspray keeps your hair looking shiny while giving it the hold you need to look fabulous!

Melu Serum
Letting your hair airdry this time of year but feeling like your ends are looking a little crunchy?  Try putting a little melu serum by Davines on your ends to help with dry split ends. The OI Oil is also a great product that can be used on wet or dry hair as is the Melu.

Acacia Protein Oil /Daily Keratin
Looking to speed up your blow dry and not end up with the frizz? Try out the Acacia oil or the daily keratin. You don't need to use a ton of these products to reap the benefits.  Just a dime size of the daily keratin or two pumps of the acacia oil on wet hair and your set up for a speedy blow out.

Soleil Aqua Seal
Has your hair had enough of the sun this summer?  Try Kerastase's Soleil line to protect and repair your hair from the sun and salt water.  The aqua seal is a great addition to the beach bag every summer!

Hope you love these products as much as I do and they help you to have beautiful healthy looking hair!

Spring has FINALLY Sprung

It's time for a fresh start this spring. Bright colors are in this season and not just for clothing and shoes, we're talking hair too! Lauren Conrad was sporting a hot pink dipped ponytail, Britney with her multi colored locks, Demi Lovato, Jessi-J, and Christina Aguilera trending their accent colors as well.  

In May's edition of Marie Claire you can find some products to help you achieve this look with temporary Hair Dyes

A Wedding in the City of Brotherly Love

On August 18, 2012, Robbie and Tracy tied the knot.  The Ceremony took place on the balcony at the  Seaport Museum on Penn's Landing in Philadelphia, the reception followed on the second floor of the museum.  Tracy's dress is from  Sabrina Ann's in Ardmore.  The florist, from Philadelphia, was Judith Campbell Studios.  Thank you for the beautiful pictures  Carley K Photography.  The couple had great weather and treated guests to traditional Philadelphia favorites, including Philly soft pretzels when leaving the reception.

Bridal Hair and Makeup

The Capelli Team has been very busy getting brides ready for their Wedding Day!  Myself, Jess, and Katie have been beautifying these brides at the salon as well as on location.  The venues have been amazing!  Check out one of the venues off of Long Beach Island, NJ Mallard Island Yacht Club .  We're looking forward to the upcoming weddings at The Crossings Vineyard in Washington Crossing PA.

We have been using a combination of MAC cosmetics and Beauty Addicts in the way of make-up.  As far as hair products we are loving the Sea Salt Spray by Label M and Lakme K style Chalk.

The Artistry of Hair

Types of Braids used:Finding innovative ways to incorporate braids into my UpDo's is one of my favorite ways to create new styles.  Thankfully this wedding party was super fun, young and up for experimenting with some new hairdo's. I haven't recieved the professional photos as of yet but here is a preview of some of my work.Finding  

Types of braids used: 
Fishtail
"Resembling or suggestive of the tail of a fish in shape or movement."
 -using two pieces of hair to form a braid as opposed to the standard three strands.
French Braid
 -Three strands of hair woven together by adding hair outside of those pieces to create a set in look.
