**Happy Holidays**

The Holidays are here and that means party time!  We all want to look extra special this time of year mostly because well its just fun! This is when we run into old friends and family and want to be looking our best. One of my favorite special occasion looks is false eyelashes! They are so easy and they just really make everyone's eyes pop. I've decided to offer them at the salon, its only $15 and well worth it!

My beautiful and fabulous sister-in-law, Jaclyn, was in town over the weekend for some holiday stuff.  I wanted her to be my muse and thankfully she was up for it! Jaclyn has naturally curly hair, its gorgeous. She wanted to donate it so recently we made a big cut!



To give her the "girls night out look" I straightened her hair .....


Then added the false eye lashes. The before and after is below...LOVE IT!

Gorgeous!!!!

Winter Hair

So whether we like it or not winter has arrived...ugh...
We all know how hair changes with the seasons so I thought I would give you some tips to make it through the long winter.
Usually women like to go a shade darker for fall and winter. Often they run into the problem of having "flat" hair. To get a little volume back in your life highlights do the trick! They don't have to be super blond but you can do some warm honey colored ones to add a little dimension and also give you that extra boost.

We all know what its like to have static in our hair once the air goes dry here are some items that I can't live without when that time of the year rolls around. First we all want to hairspray our hair when this happens, don't. It is because the air is so dry and our hair lacks moisture. All you need is a small pinch of serum (whether its for straightening, anti frizz or shine) this will do the trick. I love the Aquage brand and sell it at 541 Salon.
Also this is when you may want to switch to moisturizing shampoo (for all those who color their hair make sure its color protecting shampoo). Lastly if all else fails and your hair just doesn't want to cooperate .......dryer sheets. Weird I know but hey whatever works! They also take the static out of clothing and some say keep mosquitos away....
So those are my quick and easy tips for fighting the winter hair!

Cancun Wedding Fiesta


This is my first "official" blog post so please bare with me if its awkward :) One of my favorite parts of being a stylist is doing weddings. I love everything about wedding updo's! So I was more than excited to be asked by an amazing bride, Laura, to hop on a plane and do everyone in her wedding party's hair in lovely Mexico! I wanted to show everyone the work I did on these awesome girls. They completely trusted my "hair instinct" and let me do what I wanted to them, LOVE THAT! Enjoy the photos!
