After a long cold winter we're all ready to enjoy a nice summer.....but is your hair ready?

Use: Blondes who's highlights have oxidized in the sun causing the hair to be brassy. Shampoo and Condition with silver alchemic to tone down brassiness. Brunettes who's color has faded due to sun exposure. Redheads who can't keep that vibrant shade. These shampoos and conditioners can be used in between visits to the salon to maintain your color.

Playing with Pigments

Using finest pigments by MAC is a versatile way to apply makeup. Pigments is an intense powdery blend of pure color that can be used as shadow, nail polish, lipstick.... and any other creative way you choose to use it. I had fun using the "copper sparkle" as a lip color. It seems to stay on very well and can be moistened up with some lip glass by MAC. There are a ton of other colors that would probably be more practical to wear for a night out. Just thought I'd share my fun new way to color lips...

Great Lengths

Check out my latest Great Lengths Extension's client. She was going for something fun, a little more length, and a natural look. The quality of the hair is amazing. These extensions take a little more daily maintenance but the look you can achieve is unbelievable.

Local Artist

I had the privilege tonight to see Johan Ruiz's first production. Local stylist's, barbers, makeup artist's, photographers, and artists collaborated in an event tonight to show off their amazing work and talents. Supporting one another in the industry is a necessity to not only learn but also to inspire our work. Check out some of Johan's work...

Extra Oil Anyone?

Ok so I have been researching a little bit on what to do if you have extra oily hair. Not saying that I agree with all of these "solutions" but some may be helpful. Discovery Health has a write up "11 Home Remedies for Oily Hair". I strongly disagree with putting dishwasher detergent in your shampoo, especially if you have color on your hair. I do however agree with getting a cleansing shampoo to use once a week. Davines makes a good one called SoLu (this shampoo may also lighten your color if you have a toner or single process). It seems as though cider vinegar is good for your hair in more ways than one, not only to get rid of the oil but also to restore elasticity. One more tip, if you do use conditioner start by applying to your ends first and work your way up to the root and avoid applying on the scalp. Here's the link that may help. Please comment if you find something that really works, or doesn't at all.
