Mary Jane with Curls

Mary Jane's photo has been posted previously, only with straight hair.  This visit she decided that she would like to wear her hair in a more casual style.  She new she had some curl, but she didn't know that she had this much!  I often find that a client will know that they have some curl, but they really haven't had it cut to encourage the curl, nor have they been styling it to make the best of the curl.  Mary Jane was surprised to see how curly her hair really is.  The curly hair in most cases is much more youthful.  We used the Deva Curl products and dryed it with a diffuser.

Karen

Karen has very curly hair, but she prefers to wear it straight.  The cut is very short on the nape of her neck and longer on top so it can be straighten out easily with the flat iron.  We use Slick, by Osis to keep the hair straight and smooth while it is being blown dry.  The Slick also aids in straightening and protection the hair while we use the flat iron.  What a great smile! 

Some very lovely ladies

Margaret, Elaine, Shirley and Jeannie all have "wash and wear" hair.  Both Jeannie and Shirley have body waves to give the hair support.  All four ladies have cuts every 6 weeks to maintain the shape and in between they wash and style their own hair.

Carrie's New Cut

Carrie's cut keeps evolving.  This time Brian cut the crown a bit shorter and left the sides heavier.  More layering in the cut gives is a completely different look.  Even though Carrie almost always blows her hair dry, it really looks great when it is left to air dry, could be the best of both worlds.  Kristin adds highlights and lowlights to Carrie's naturally blonde locks.  This really is a great style for Carrie, the short tousled cut suites her friendly, cheerful personality. 

Melody

This is Melody, Melvyn's last client on Friday of last week.  This may look like a classic Bob in the picture, but when Melody moves her head one can see that there is an amazing amount of texture in this cut.  The basic shape and interior was cut like a classic Bob.  After the cut was blown dry and ironed, Melvyn began his magic with the sculpting and texturizing that gives one of  his cuts his personal signature.  Melody's hair is actually curly, so she can wear this cut natural with the curl or blow it straight without the curl.
