Fall Trends Class

Usually on Sundays, I have to be at work at 12PM. That's usually fairly early for me, but this past Sunday, we had Trends class even earlier: 10AM. So hairstylists from both Utica and South locations came together with bagels, fruit, and cream cheese to learn the newest color formulas, color techniques, and hairstyles!

The 'shag' is coming back in full force, just with more texture, movement and a little different cutting style. Everything can look really full and layered when you round brush or just soft and trendy when you flat-iron the hair instead. It's so amazing how different one haircut can look with just how you style it.

There was a REALLY pretty red color that we did on a live model as well. It's perfect for fall with how rich the color is. The techniques that we learned weren't super different, but just little 'splashes' of color instead of being bold, bright, and in your face.

I know I'm definitely ready for a change in color and style, and not just because of the weather cooling down. When you do the same thing for too long, it just brings you down because you feel stagnant, so...it's time for CHANGE! But TRENDY change!

Deeper Richer Color Time!

The weather is getting cooler, the leaves are starting to change, the fall colors are so rich and pretty! So...it's time to incorporate those colors into your hair! There are a few different options, both permanent and semi-permanent. Aveda's permanent haircolor is 97% naturally derived and semi is 99% natural, so often times your hair feels in better condition after the service. If you want to do an all over color or just foil in some low lights to enhance what you currently have, it's definitely time for a change!

Creative Team Storyboards!

Last night the Creative Team met at Baxter's, yes, even with the down pouring of rain. After a little snack, a little discussion and some sorting through model pictures and assigning characters, we were on the right track! We then sorted through tons of hair magazines and with a little SNIP SNIP and a little paste and arrangement, we had a collage for each different section. Crystal Lake and I are in charge of the Prince, Princess, and "Good Guys" section. I'm super excited about the Scarecrow and Cinderella. Braids and dirt and straw all mixed together, is going to be SO MUCH FUN!

Like I mentioned before, our show is Thursday, October 22nd, downtown at the Convention Center. Tickets are $15 beforehand, $20 at the door and it's a benefit for Resonance. And really...this is all I'm probably going to be talking about for the next 4 weeks!

Slumber Party / Fine Art Boudoir Information

Ladies!!!

As you all may know, I am part of a networking group called The Dandelion Network. Monday, September 21st is our next meeting & the next meeting will feature Sarah Adams alongside Kristi Bromagem of Slumber Parties. Sarah will be discussing her Fine Art Boudoir Photography & Kristi will be hosting a mini Slumber Party. Slumber Parties are a LOT of fun & Kristi is so informative not only about the products she sells, but she also is amazing at educating women about their bodies - you would be surprised at the things that you may not know about your body! So if you are looking for an idea for your bachelorette party/just want a fun night out with the girls, let me know & I will put your name on the list! Due to limited space I can only personally accept a max of 3 guests. If you are interested in attending, please send me an e-mail to christa.michelle.stylist@gmail.com and I will pass along the details!
