Baliage: From the French word meaning to paint.  Baliage is a verb, not a noun.  It's a technique used to paint highlights into the hair, thinner and finer at the root,  getting stronger and bolder toward the ends.  Baliage makes growing out highlights gentler, no lines, no roots.  A great look!

Dry Spell

Whether it's in the salon or at home it's important that clients adjust their hair care for each season.
As we approach the middle of winter, you may notice your hair is mimicking the weather.  Dry, parched, dull and lifeless.  Moisture intense treatments are the perfect way to greet winter.  A ten minute treatment of Moroccan Oil Treatment or Moroccan Oil Glimmer Shine Spray, instantly restores curls and life to lack luster hair.  Another great treatment that provides immediate results is Moroccan Oil Intense Hydrating Mask, coupled with Moroccan Oil Treatment and left on your overnight.  After using, your hair is transformed into the soft pliable locks you only use to dream about.  This treatment can be done at home weakly.  Moroccan Oil Mask Treatment 15% off the month of February.

What Hair Style Should I Choose for My Wedding Day?

Not sure if you should wear your hair up, down, curly or straight?  We offer you guidelines to help you.

What's the level of formality?

A laid-back occasion taking place outdoors or before a small gathering of guests calls for a relaxed style.  Try loose waves or a low bun with tendrils hanging down.  A formal sit-down dinner requires a more polished look like an up-do or a sleek straight style.

How Big is Your Dress?

The style, size and scale of your dress are defining factors for your hair.  A loose fishtail braid complements a casual gown, while a shiny half up / half down paired with an elaborate tiara is right for a lavish ball gown.

What's the Weather?

Consider the environmental factors on your big day.  Certain conditions like heat and humidity may cause frizz, so skip the sleek blow-out.  A cold windy day may require more hold and extra pins to make it a tight up-do, or half up/half down do.

Solar Oil

Solar Oil by CND is a nail and cuticle conditioner.  Solar oil is to your nails like conditioner is to your hair.  It is a great product to use to help keep your finer nails and toe nails healthy.  Solar Oil is the smallest molecularly structured oil that is able to penetrate the natural nail, nail polish, gel polish, acrylic and gel nails.  It helps to keep your nails hydrated and flexible and will also conditions your cuticles. Solar Oil will help to prolong your manicure and keep it looking fresh.  We recommend our clients to use it every day 3-4 times a day.  You can't over use it.  This is a product you don't want to be without.

Hair Tips: 12/17/12

Fix It

Not any one product line can solve all clients' hair challenges. One size fits all in hair care lines just doesn't work.  Hair is made up of 80% Keratin and 20% moisture.  Know what is missing and finaly the correct product enforces the good work your stylist is doing.

Color Conserving

Color used in hair color process strips the hair of moisture and weakens the follicle.  We recommend sulfate and alcohol free products with heat and UV protection to preserve color and restore hair's condition.  All of our hair care  lines at Sassy are heat resistant, sulfate free and my of our styling products are alcohol free.

Body Builders

Fine hair retains a lot of moisture causing it to look flat and feel limp.  These type of clients can skip daily conditioning.  Instead a weekly protein treatment will help build strength into weak ends.

Personality

Be faithful to YOUR OWN TASTE because nothing you really like is ever out of style.
