Personality


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

Pony Tales


The ponytail is back, and it's better than ever! It is becoming a go-to style for the fashion elite! On runways for the Spring/Summer 2013 Fashion Week, hairdressers got creative and updated the basic pony in many ways. High, low, textures, neat, shiny and mate...there is a pony for everyone!

10 Myths about Hair

1. You must shampoo daily.

False- Less frequent shampooing is better!  This preserves chemical services and natural oils keep your scalp less irritated. You can use a dry shampoo in between to eliminate oils and odor. We love Label M Dry Shampoo. Just spray into root area..hair is clean and fuller!

2. You must change shampoos often.

False- Your hair will respond well to the correct shampoo forever! We have our own Sassy line , Moroccan Oil line and Label M shampoos. Our stylist will advise the proper product for your hair type.

3. All shampoos are the same-" I don't need a professional product!"

False- Professional shampoos contain little or no sulfates and waxes They will keep colors fresh and keratin treatments frizz free and long lasting. Hair will be shiny and manageable.

4. Conditioner makes your hair flat.

False- Overuse of the WRONG product makes hair flat. Never apply conditioner to top of head,use on ends of hair only!

5. You must rinse with cold water.

False- Hair doesn't contain live cells..water temp doesn't matter.

6. You must go "light" as you age.\

True and False- Lighter is usually more flattering. Not always blond. Sometimes too light is just as bad as too dark!

7. Men prefer long hair!

True- Generally studies have shown that men prefer shoulder length flowing hair over short cropped hair.

8. Stress can make you lose hair.

True- Studies have proven this, and we see it quite often in the salon. ( this is not hereditary baldness)

9. Towel dry hair before blow drying.

True-Towel dry and remove most of the water before drying. If you don't..you will be boiling the water and causing heat damage to your hair.

10. If you are growing your hair, you don't need a haircut.

False- If your ends split, it will not appear longer. Have slight trims to prevent dead ends and grow long healthy hair.

Tips for Autumn

The word for color is DRAMA. Hair color is very dramatic with very rich jewel tones or cool colors. Very dark, smokey hair is weaved and foiled with strands of ruby, wine, or vivd blue! These strands can be pre-bleached or we can our extensions to get the same effect. This is a fun way to change for the fall season and can be easily changed for spring.
Bold blondes are also ranking high for color requests. Think Clare Danes and Heidi Klum!
Clothing is also loaded with color. Bright to electric and high contrast. Fashion designers are featuring combinations of very vivid blue coupled with black.
The beginning of Fall means the end of Summer. This also means the worst hair of the year! Heat mineral deposits, and chlorine thrash your tresses!
We can recommend the proper products to get your hair back in shape. Our Moroccan oil mask is a wonderful deep conditioning treatment. We also have treatments to remove chlorine from hair. Our Label M deep cleansing shampoo also removes residue from hair.
