If you didn't already know, I started a wedding hair company. Check us out <a href="http://wedlocksbridalhair.com/" target="_blank">WedLocks Bridal Hair</a></div>

Planning my wedding was one of the most difficult experiences I have ever been through. For those of you who have yet to go through this life changing experience, let me tell you, it is incredibly overwhelming! I mean where do you start? Food, silverware, plates, music, napkins, venue, vows, tents, lights, the list goes on and on. I took solace in knowing that there were people around me who were taking care of a lot of those little details for me, but there was one thing that I would do myself... my own hair! I am a hairstylist after all. And in my case, I knew that I would be the only person to do it the way I like it. I am a firm believer that if there's a professional for it, then let them do it. So I did! I did, however, take it one step farther and I also styled my mom and my sister's (maid of honor/my only bridesmaid) hair. Hair is my therapy and I honestly believe that being able to do some hair on the big day, kept me calm, cool, and collected. So here are a few suggestions that you may or may not have thought of when it comes to your hair and wedding planning.</div>

Me doing my Merm's hair. Yes, that is my mom, not my sister. </div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
1. If you haven't already, set up a Pinterest account with a "Wedding Board." It's the best way to gather your thoughts, collect pictures, and give you an idea of what you like and what you want.</div>

Speaking of Pinterest, Follow us!</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
2. Always consider your face shape!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
3. Always have a hair and makeup trial to make sure your hairstyle is the look you a going for.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
4. Consider scheduling a trial right before a dress fitting, that way, you can see the whole vision of your hair with your dress!</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
5. Be open to your stylist's advice! Remember, they're professionals.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
6. Wear a button-down shirt or a robe when getting ready so you don't ruin your gorgeous hair and makeup!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
7. Consider having the bride get ready first, that way she can have a last minute touch-up and finishing spritz of hairspray just before walking down the aisle!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
8. If you wear your hair down on a regular basis and that is what makes you feel the prettiest, then wear your hair down! You do not have to go with an up-do to look beautiful and elegant.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
9. People change their dresses from the ceremony to the reception, why not do it with your hair? Have an Elegant up-do for the ceremony and sexy tousled curls for the reception!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
10. Veil? Bring it to your trial!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
11. No veil, no problem! There are so many alternatives to wearing a veil, like a sparkly headband, tiara, braid crown. If you do have any alternative head attire, bring it to the trial!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
12. You do not have to have dirty hair on your wedding day. Yes, some stylists prefer it, but for my ladies who have scalps that are more on the oily spectrum, go ahead and wash!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Bonus!!! Do you! Nothing is more frustrating for a stylist than when someone else is telling the bride what to do with her hair. Do what you want! You are a grown a$$ woman who is getting married, you are entitled to make your own decisions on YOUR day!</div>

Hello dolls! I've missed you! I apologize for being M.I.A., but I have so many crazy, exciting things going on right now. Not that, that is an excuse, but I definitely think the mini hiatus has rejuvenated and refreshed me to get back into the blogging game! Here are some of the things I've got going on:</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
1. I'm already starting to plan my 9.5 month-old daughter's first birthday!!!</div>
</div>
<div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhul0qvr0OnG4o2fzi3NANtx1sguz6gg6lSBjVlFipeQN2cfZSKjiD4DMrRt4G7M0sljg82A2PSKZ55oDfRJ99oKOCHPqVIxNYXAC-GpE-FZFcsoXJ_GziJx58yU8255jgaose1gCJVLkA/s640/blogger-image-450769831.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhul0qvr0OnG4o2fzi3NANtx1sguz6gg6lSBjVlFipeQN2cfZSKjiD4DMrRt4G7M0sljg82A2PSKZ55oDfRJ99oKOCHPqVIxNYXAC-GpE-FZFcsoXJ_GziJx58yU8255jgaose1gCJVLkA/s640/blogger-image-450769831.jpg" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
2. My husband and I have started house hunting to buy our first home! (It's not going too great, but our hopes are still high.)</div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
3. And the most exciting thing... I started a new business with a couple of friends!!!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
If you couldn't tell, it's an on-location bridal hair company called <a href="http://wedlocksbridalhair.com/" target="_blank">WedLocks</a>, (get it?)!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The idea behind it and what sets us apart is that we have included all of the travel fees and gratuity into the price, that way there are no surprises or confusion! Anyone who has planned a wedding, (and for those of you who haven't yet, get ready!) knows that there are so many choices and (financial) decisions that everyone wants you to make and we are just trying to make it as easy as possible for the bride(s). A big thing for me is transparency! I love when I can get all of the information about pricing from just visiting the website. That is what a website is for, right? So for right now, we are just getting started, and we have just launched the website, (I worked super hard on it, but I'm not a professional!) I would love for you to go and take a look at it, and give me your feedback.</div>

For those of you just joining us, this is a follow-up of <a href="http://todyeforblog.blogspot.com/2014/12/adventures-in-blonding.html" target="_blank">Adventures In Blonding</a>, so take a gander at that first, so you're not lost.</div>

...And the journey continues! So Stephanie tackled the beast again.</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It has been six weeks since our first adventure together and this time we got my hair even blonder! And I'm so in love!</div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This time around, we had to fight against every blonde's arch nemesis, Roots! So we started there, since that hair is the darkest and needs the most time to process. We applied lightener all over my regrowth area (AKA Roots) first.</div>

Again, we have some not-so-lovely highlighter yellow hair. For that, we call in every blonde's handy-dandy sidekick, Toner! Remember him? Toner is what neutralizes unwanted tones using complementary colors on the color wheel. It is also something that is custom to each person. So remember kids, don't try this at home! You could easily turn your hair green! EW!</div>

This whole process would not have been possible without Olaplex. Olaplex is a bond multiplier used to prevent damage or breakage caused by lighteners. It is an added on service that take almost no extra time and is a complete life saver!</div>

Curling with a flatiron is by far, my favorite way to curl to achieve the perfect beachy waves. I don't even use a curling iron anymore, like ever.

I love extensions! They are so much fun and instant gratification! No more waiting 5 years for your hair to grow back because you can have it now! This lovely lady has tried a couple different types of extensions over the past few months: Tape-Ins and Keratin Bond (Hot Fusion).</div>

Let's start from the beginning. I walked up to the front and introduced myself to my new client. She had requested to see me because she had seen the blog and loved my work! Naturally, I was elated that the blog had actually reached people and that she liked my work enough to request me! This was extremely validating for me as a blogger and a stylist.<br />
<br />
We talked about what she wanted to do with her hair, and she had said that she liked the natural, balayage look. She already had highlights, so all we needed to do was touch up her roots with a little hand painting to match her color on the ends. I was very confident that we had a full consultation, and that both of us were on the same page. We had great conversation over the next two hours and she absolutely loved her hair when we were done and I was extremely satisfied with how it had turned out! I made sure that the receptionist got her all checked out, including her product and she was on her way. I got started on my next client and 15 minutes later, my previous client was back... and very upset. She claimed that her hair was red, the color was flat, and that it wasn't what she asked for at all! Because I was with another client and she wasn't able to come back in a couple hours, she had to see another stylist to have the color adjusted. She sat in the other stylist's chair and she was so upset that she proceeded to tear me down and the work I had just done. Luckily, my co-worker diffused the situation and told her that our salon is a team, and that she would make sure she would leave happy. It ended up being an easy adjustment. My co-worker toned her hair with a slightly darker color than I had, and her hair, in my opinion, looked pretty much the same as what I had done. </div>

<div>
I will always be the first one to admit when I have made a mistake, but when things like this happen, it really breaks my heart. <span style="background-color: white; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"> </span><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Especially since this client had seen my work, sought me out and probably had high expectations for me.</span></span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 15px;"> </span>The fact that she left extremely satisfied with her hair, and came back 15 minutes later, completely hating it, really made me wonder: What happened in those 15 minutes?</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Did she go home and see her hair in some horrible bathroom lighting?</div>
<div>
Did her boyfriend say something?</div>
<div>
Maybe he said that he didn't like it.</div>
<div>
Perhaps she was nervous about meeting her boyfriend's parents for the first time over the holidays.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Regardless of the reason, I don't know who was more upset, her or me? I obsessed over the ordeal for days, trying to figure out what I could have done differently, and I realized that there wasn't anything. <span style="background-color: white;">Consultations can always get longer and you can go through pictures of hair together for hours.</span> But I really thought we were on the same page. Besides, had I done more, I still feel the outcome would have been the same, because nothing I could have done would have changed what she saw in her mirror.</span></div>

I guess what I am trying to get at is; no matter how much you love your job and no matter how good you are at it, you're bound to have a rough day from time to time. It keeps us humble and reminds us that we don't know it all. On the bright side, I loved the work I did and I stand by it. I can even say that I am proud of the work I did that day!</div>

<b><span style="font-size: large;"><u>What To Do If You Need An Adjustment:</u></span></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
-Lighting is so important! Fluorescent, LED, sunlight, black light. There are so many different kinds of lighting and your hair will look different in every single one. If your hair looks dull or brassy in your bathroom or bedroom, go outside and see it in the sunlight. You might be surprised.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
-Live with it for a couple days! Sometimes your color just needs to settle or soften up. Or maybe it will take a couple of washes too.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
- Your hairstylist is here for you! Always communicate with your stylist! We want you to look good, we want you too be happy, It's our job! So give your hairstylist the opportunity to adjust the cut or color before you seek any outside help. Communication is key!</div>

This particular guest came to me with quite a crazy story. The stylist she had been going to for years was in the middle of lightening all of her hair from dark brown and was unable to finish for personal reasons. The top left picture is what she came to me with. I got her hair as even as I could in the bottom left. And the finished product on the right!</div>

The last time I saw her, I was giving her a balayaged ombré, and it was her first time ever getting anything done other than a cut! So this time, we decided to give her a little more balayage and lighten it up a little bit more. And she loved it!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjAs7QIYXOoIvloPNn5lhIowFtupajAl3CdTez6x8HAoGQYKORnU17vfvFjAKfZg6ax_zj_h5PEkdspU5CuzU81jEEAdJRu4D_hPQbOwjr6HwnbbRmcJ_sfnADH3uoZHVtVsdTfzjoLJFc/s640/blogger-image--2077469370.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjAs7QIYXOoIvloPNn5lhIowFtupajAl3CdTez6x8HAoGQYKORnU17vfvFjAKfZg6ax_zj_h5PEkdspU5CuzU81jEEAdJRu4D_hPQbOwjr6HwnbbRmcJ_sfnADH3uoZHVtVsdTfzjoLJFc/s640/blogger-image--2077469370.jpg"></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi6y_Jd_LZLcMiBxWXITdFJo7fQQAI-O9Ubzu015DGPHX9R7HnwFuoY7C0JyQG5W1-_484OS1md7llpG4_YjuYIxXKaPSdqCAIRQfApKj419vpIOo8Yhm0ECL2tks-mUqbPokCZHLQv0xg/s640/blogger-image--343343372.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi6y_Jd_LZLcMiBxWXITdFJo7fQQAI-O9Ubzu015DGPHX9R7HnwFuoY7C0JyQG5W1-_484OS1md7llpG4_YjuYIxXKaPSdqCAIRQfApKj419vpIOo8Yhm0ECL2tks-mUqbPokCZHLQv0xg/s640/blogger-image--343343372.jpg"></a></div><br></div>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13797788499502625752noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1659400124713026910.post-27010793278535859732014-12-17T18:00:00.000-07:002014-12-23T11:31:57.396-07:00So, You Wanna Cut Your Hair Off?<div style="text-align: center;">Merry Christmas!

I cannot tell you how many hair chop horror stories I have heard over the years. Everything from a postpartum not-so-pick-me-up, to a spur-of-the-moment make-under. No matter what the reason, everyone wishes one thing, someone told them "NO!" If you or a friend are considering a drastic change in hair length, please consult this flow-chart. I hope you find it helpful!</div>

<span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">I am particularly excited about this post because the model for this transformation is me! The hard work you are about to see was performed by my girl Stephanie Pion, who works with me at West End Salon. </span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 13px; text-align: center;">
Well my friends, my hair has been every color under the sun! Brown, black, dirty blonde, light blonde, red, purple, platinum. But one thing stays the same, I love a good change, and a drastic one at that! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Today, I'm going to take you through the adventure that Stephanie and I took to achieve this amazing color. I hope you learn a thing or two about how labor intensive it is to take a brunette, blonde. Maybe even find a new appreciation for your hairstylist, and their vast knowledge of every corner of the hair world. </div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 13px; text-align: center;">
Our journey began with the history of my hair. In the last 18 months my hair has been: mostly virgin (never been colored or lightened), colored, highlighted, dyed back to brown, a little balayage, and not colored for 9 months. Needless to say, I presented quite a challenge for Miss Stephanie. <span style="color: black;"><img border="0" style="border: 0px; max-width: 90%;" /></span></div>

<i><b>Photos: Coco and me before (I love Coco's face! Yawn! Bored already!); lightener on everything but the virgin hair.</b></i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We started with putting lightener (AKA bleach, lightener just sounds nicer) with Olaplex (a bond multiplier that prevents breakage and damage cause by light enters) on everything that isn't virgin. Virgin hair is hair that has never been colored or lightened before. We left the virgin hair out because it lightens faster and doesn't have any barriers for the lightener to break through, like color.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
After the ends were light enough, we went back and applied lightener on the virgin hair. Then, we waited... And waited....And you guessed it! We waited some more. Once the hair was light enough, we rinsed. This next part was crucial: toning! (Toner neutralizes unwanted tones in the hair by using complementary colors on the color wheel.) Toning was what took my hair from highlighter yellow and Nickelodeon orange, to a beautiful sandy blonde. This vital part of the blonding process really separates the professionals from the DIYers and box dyers. Getting the right tone is something you really can't duplicate at home and without the right training.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Once the toner was done processing, we rinsed, shampooed, conditioned, and blowdried. All in all, this whole process took us about 3.5 hours. Oh and did I mention, we did this all with the baby hanging out on my lap. So thank you Stephanie, for being patient and making my hair gorgeous!</div>

<b><i><u>Tips from Stephanie:</u></i></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Do an in-salon or at-home repairing treatment once a week.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Use a violet shampoo or conditioner to keep your hair from looking brassy.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Get regular trims every 6-8 weeks.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
If you have iron in your water, rinse your hair with bottled water to prevent a brass attack!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Use some sort of oil or serum on you ends to keep them hydrated. Trust me, they're thirsty!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Don't use products with dye in them.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Be gentle and enjoy! </div>

This lovely lady has been an icy platinum for some time now, and was ready for a change. She didn't want anything too drastic, just something closer to her natural so she won't have to touch-up her color as often.</div>

I have been doing this mermaid's hair for a while now and that is exactly the goal! Mermaid Hair! We've been using Obsession Tape Extensions on her for a little over a year now and it has allowed her baby fine hair to grow while creating minimal damage to her natural hair. These are 22" extensions, they normally come in 18", but this mermaid likes her hair extra long!</div>

I was so excited about this transformation! I love a good chop (on someone who is ready for it)! Other than the obvious haircut, we also lightened her up a little bit. Her hair looks so much fuller on her baby fine hair and I love it! It is super flattering on her!</div>

And he's right, but most people aren't looking to go from black to platinum (although it is a fun challenge when I get to do things like that.) The goal with this particular client was to diffuse the line of demarcation and tone out some of the gold in her hair, getting to look as natural as possible. She didn't want it to "shout" or "talk", she wanted it to "whisper." </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhuc4FvQNWI4c_xfzIw-Fbwr5xnN6roqv0XW7rBXJ8eC3mWJXmrv3C75bh0u1gL4rG6s55Xf3MO39nZqvlI4yq-j-7NbrYFcYPa_DM9V4lYkkcmqZCfW9Qq1moxseue5TplhBq8HdCZQoQ/s640/blogger-image-354768701.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhuc4FvQNWI4c_xfzIw-Fbwr5xnN6roqv0XW7rBXJ8eC3mWJXmrv3C75bh0u1gL4rG6s55Xf3MO39nZqvlI4yq-j-7NbrYFcYPa_DM9V4lYkkcmqZCfW9Qq1moxseue5TplhBq8HdCZQoQ/s640/blogger-image-354768701.jpg"></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhGsyU1yia8R2g-y7KYe4RCHXIPc9bAXaFmA6CZl9vs4UqrqGGI7iC0U11KXjr-OMyb8-EEfNr3BcT_DC1YeDrhJZZ4mGD_TwitJLqMb9niRyVcWl90tblg9wjn7X1CvnPPXjm7x0UG5BE/s640/blogger-image--297976049.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhGsyU1yia8R2g-y7KYe4RCHXIPc9bAXaFmA6CZl9vs4UqrqGGI7iC0U11KXjr-OMyb8-EEfNr3BcT_DC1YeDrhJZZ4mGD_TwitJLqMb9niRyVcWl90tblg9wjn7X1CvnPPXjm7x0UG5BE/s640/blogger-image--297976049.jpg"></a></div><br></div>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13797788499502625752noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1659400124713026910.post-57193396006876099152014-12-04T21:23:00.001-07:002014-12-04T21:23:13.884-07:00Are You Washing Your Hair Too Much?<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
Growing up, I thought that everyone washed their hair everyday because that's what my family did. As I got older, I found out that that's not necessarily the case. Washing my hair less is something that I struggled with for a long time and it took me years to get myself and my baby-fine hair trained to where it is now. That's right, training! I know what you must be thinking:<br />
<div>
"My hair is super oily!"</div>
<div>
"I just feel dirty!"</div>
<div>
"But I work out!"</div>
<div>
Well I have a solution for all of that and some excellent tricks to break you of your excessive washing ways.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Everyone should be washing their hair no more than two times a week. For some of you, that may sound absolutely ludicrous! But hey, we really don't need to be washing that often. Why you ask? Our natural oils are there for a reason, to hydrate and moisturizer our scalp and hair follicles. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
For my ladies with overly oily hair: </div>
<div>
Your hair is oily because you wash it. I know it sounds completely backwards, but I promise it makes sense. Every time you wash your hair, you are stripping it of its natural oils. Then your scalp thinks, "Hey! Where's all the oil? Oh well, I'll just make more!" Your body only makes what it thinks it needs. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
How To Get Started:</div>
<div>
1. Start by skipping a day of washing. Once your scalp gets used to that, skip another. Remember, dry shampoo is your friend!</div>
<div>
2. Discover new, fun things to do with your hair that help mask your potentially oily scalp.</div>
<div>
Braids</div>
<div>
Top knot</div>
<div>
Sock bun</div>
<div>
3. If it's really oily, put a hat on it!</div>
<div>
4. Maybe you're a gym rat or you do hot yoga. Well, sweat doesn't equal dirty or oily, but you can always rinse your hair out and massage your scalp, like you are washing it without shampoo.</div>
<div>
5. Get yourself on a schedule. Here's mine:</div>
<div>
Monday- Wash and Air Dry</div>
<div>
Tuesday- Curl It</div>
<div>
Wednesday- Sock Bun</div>
<div>
Thursday- Wash and Air Dry</div>
<div>
Friday- Curl It</div>
<div>
Saturday- Hat</div>
<div>
Sunday- Sock Bun</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Some Benefits to washing less:</div>
<div>
- Hair and scalp aren't as dry!</div>
<div>
- Use less shampoo and conditioner!</div>
<div>
- Save yourself time getting ready in the morning!<br />
<br />
Remember, it may take some time for your scalp to adjust and your oil production to slow down, but I promise you wont regret it!</div>

A little back story behind this transformation. This particular client was sent to me from another client. She had her hair done in Vegas on Thanksgiving vacation and it wasn't anything close to what she had shown him. Luckily, that stylist did most of the hard work for me by getting her dark hair lighter. Needless to say, she was extremely happy that she finally had the hair she had dreamed of before going back to school from her holiday break.</div>

<br />
A huge part of my job as a stylist is, not only to provide amazing services to my clients, but to educate them on their hair health. The best way to maintain the health of your hair is to use high quality product and here's why.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
One of the first questions I ask a new client is, "What is the biggest challenge with your hair?" I usually hear that it is dry, it won't grow, the color fades fast, etc. The second question I ask is, "What products are you using?" When I hear that someone is using a brand from the drugstore, I ask if they are getting the results they want and is it taking care of those challenges? The answer is usually a resounding "No." Solution? Better products! Professional products!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b><i>Side Note</i>:</b>The funniest thing I see on drugstore products, are outrages claims like "Reduces breakage up to 97%" or "Repairs up to 2 years of damage." And all for $8.99. Really? If it sounds too good to be true, then it probably is.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b>Protect Your Investment- </b>If you are investing good money in your hair by getting regular haircuts and color services, then you probably want it to last. The only way to guarantee that is to buy professional products.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b>More Bang For Your Buck- </b>Professional products are highly concentrated, meaning you have to use less product in your hair to achieve the results you want. Sometimes if you weigh out how much product you are using versus how much money you are spending, buying professional products can sometimes cost the same as drugstore products.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b>Sulfate and Paraben Free- </b>Sure, you can find drugstore products that say "Sulfate Free" or "Paraben Free", but companies can still put a certain amount of sulfates and parabens into their products while still saying they are sulfate and paraben free. You are more likely to find professional products that are truly free of sulfates and parabens. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b>Environmentally Conscious</b>- A lot of professional lines have become super aware of their carbon footprint and have restructured their values based on their consumer's values. You can find so many professional brands that don't do testing on animals and use less plastic in their packaging. Some companies are PETA approved and are even working on being completely bio-degradable within a year of hitting the landfill. So cool!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b>"But I Can Buy It On Amazon."- </b>When you buy professional products from anywhere other than a salon or authorized retailer, you run the risk of buying a product that has been tampered with, or is old. Sometimes, salons go out of business and sell off their old back stock, or there may even be Suave in that bottle of Paul Mitchell. There is no quality control and there's a reason it is so cheap.</div>
<div>
<b><br /></b></div>
<div>
<b>"But I Can Buy It At Beauty Brands Or Sephora."- </b>All I can say is "Support you local businesses!" Give your dollar to a family owned business instead of a corporation. Plus, it usually costs the same. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Next time you are at the grocery store and you have that bottle of product in your hands, I hope these tips resonate in your head. Make the choice to<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;"> buy local and buy from a professional. You won't regret it!</span></div>

<br /></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
One of the biggest requests I get in the salon is making my clients hair low maintenance. Now that could mean a few different things: daily styling maintenance, color maintenance, and/or haircut maintenance. Maybe you are someone who wants all three, so here are some of my suggestions to achieving a great look without all of the time and effort.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b><i>Low Maintenance Styling</i></b></div>
<div>
If you are a person (like myself) who needs to curl, straighten, or somehow alter their natural texture, then this section may not be for you. This is for people who want wash-and-wear hair. Something that will look like you spent 20 minutes slaving away under a hot blowdryer, when all you did was let it air dry. But how? Product, product, product! Invest in high quality products that are going to enhance what your momma gave you, starting with shampoo and conditioner. If one of the only things you will be doing to you hair is washing it, I suggest you make the most of it by using professional products.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b><i>Low Maintenance Color</i></b></div>
<div>
Tired of touching up your roots every six weeks? Good thing there are a lot of great, trending options that look super natural and the upkeep is minimal. There is always the ombré. The ombré allows you to have your natural hair color with lighter ends and is virtually maintenance free. </div>
<div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhxmODGvw70fS4R-0O2XiNnsIZAf8IUsTEUpnxz2puyjyCAcfUOU0UxlJSYZCWVsLw4_VlJUEV8R91c-iwLY4o_rb12xbUTcQQjzf1WzY4rQCmeZRdqP8LMNlYtks21S3TWymqxKh7lRw8/s640/blogger-image-1496735968.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhxmODGvw70fS4R-0O2XiNnsIZAf8IUsTEUpnxz2puyjyCAcfUOU0UxlJSYZCWVsLw4_VlJUEV8R91c-iwLY4o_rb12xbUTcQQjzf1WzY4rQCmeZRdqP8LMNlYtks21S3TWymqxKh7lRw8/s640/blogger-image-1496735968.jpg" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
The ombré done with extensions.</div>
<br /></div>
<div>
My favorite option that I am absolutely LOVING right now is balayage! Balayage (Bah-lay-ahzge) is a method of highlighting hair without using foils, that with make your hair look gorgeous and naturally sun-kissed (and it's fun to say). This is how you get that Victoria's Secret Angel look.</div>
<div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhAaSyC-JAFq_-6t58qfI5yTVd9ib25LGeL3eoULIcYtSsdFDBrANZy5jaA6sRvazy_PfYjKq-yIVIiOTDCTnWGg-oRnXvHZosaULY8NEBK5OtWf2u9gtl3H-7HT6hNnLLurx-GGv1rl7I/s640/blogger-image--1440528428.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhAaSyC-JAFq_-6t58qfI5yTVd9ib25LGeL3eoULIcYtSsdFDBrANZy5jaA6sRvazy_PfYjKq-yIVIiOTDCTnWGg-oRnXvHZosaULY8NEBK5OtWf2u9gtl3H-7HT6hNnLLurx-GGv1rl7I/s640/blogger-image--1440528428.jpg" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">A before and after picture of balayage with a little bit of a soft ombré at the ends.</span></div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<i>Tip: When you are looking at pricing for ombrés and balayage, the cost might be a little higher. Stylists have to do this because they won't be seeing you as often. However, the price still usually works out in the clients favor.</i></div>
<div>
<i><br /></i></div>
<div>
<i><b>Low Maintenance Haircuts</b></i></div>
<div>
The only advice that I can give that will truly guarantee your haircut lasting longer is, get better quality haircuts. Going to a budget salon and paying $15 just won't cut it (forgive the pun.) Spend the extra money on an experienced stylist who will make your haircut last beyond 4 weeks.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Moral of the story, if you invest in your hair, you will be rewarded with luscious locks that every woman will envy and admire.</div>

<span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><span class="s11">I hate to start off with a negative, but I want to get this first one out of the way. Yelp can definitely help in finding </span><span class="s12">out</span><span class="s12"> some pros and cons</span><span class="s12"> </span><span class="s11">about certain businesses, but </span><span class="s12">there</span><span class="s12"> </span><span class="s11">are </span><span class="s12">some</span><span class="s12"> reason</span><span class="s12">s</span><span class="s12"> why I would refrain from using Yelp</span><span class="s12">. One reason</span><span class="s11"> is, it might help you find a </span><span class="s12">great </span><span class="s11">salon, b</span><span class="s11">ut it might not help you find a </span><span class="s11">stylist. Secondly, Yelp</span><span class="s13"> </span><span class="s11">screens their reviews. They pick and choose which reviews they want to feature, and some can be years old</span><span class="s11"> </span><span class="s12">and irrelevant to their current </span><span class="s12">service</span><span class="s11">. The biggest reason </span><span class="s12">I don’t suggest using Yelp</span><span class="s12"> too much,</span><span class="s12"> </span><span class="s11">is </span><span class="s11">that most of the time people are reviewing a business is to report something negative, which doesn't necessarily give you an accurate depiction of the business. If you are going to use Yelp, I suggest sorting the "Recommended Reviews" by date and also checking out the reviews not recommended at the bottom of the page.</span></span></div>

<span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><span class="s11">The absolute best way to find a </span><span class="s12">good </span><span class="s11">stylist is by a referral. Whether it's from someone you know or </span><span class="s12">just from asking</span><span class="s11"> a stranger in the grocery store</span><span class="s11">, </span><span class="s12">find</span><span class="s12"> </span><span class="s11">someone whose hair you </span><span class="s12">admire</span><span class="s12"> </span><span class="s11">and just ask them who makes</span><span class="s12"> their hair so magical</span><span class="s12">.</span><span class="s12"> A plus to this strategy is that you will probably make someone’s day and maybe even a new best friend.</span></span></div>

One of them being, to find new clients. Granted, not every stylist is using this website, however, there are tons of great stylists </span><span class="s12">on this site waiting to be discovered by you</span><span class="s11">. My suggestion is to go on the site, search for your city or area and check out the stylists with great recommendations and call. They might not have a ton of availability, but that means they're probably good if they're busy.</span></span></div>
