June is the Month for Brides

June is a busy month for weddings in Florida, the weather if mostly predictable and still comfortable for an evening, outdoor wedding. Updos work best, as they stay in place after the ceremony and reception, with all of the hugging, photographing and late night dancing. An updo can be as simple as a knot at the nape of the neck or elaborate creation with curls, braids and twists.

More Curls

We seem to have a lot of curly girls at the little salon, could be that Florida's hot, humid weather encourages those of us with curls to embrace it rather than try and fight it. The key to a head full of "happy hair" is a combination of the right cut, by a stylist with curly experience and the proper products, that help us to enjoy the curly hair that we were blessed with. It sure beats spending hours with various brushes, straightening/de-frizzing products and blazing hot flat irons, only to have a subtropical evening send us repeatedly to the ladies room to re access the damage.

This is Tomi, her curls are very strong in the back of her head and a bit straighter in the front. I cut the front shorter and took some of the bulk out to encourage the curl to form better in the less curly areas. She is on a quest to let her hair grow a bit longer so she can wear it up in the coming "dog days" of summer. Curly hair that is pulled up is especially soft and lovely!

Curly hair with lots of shine

Meena has been letting her hair grow, the longer it gets the more the curls form. She is one of the fortunate women that can blow dry her hair into a silky straight style or use a diffuser and have beautiful curls. The mahogany color that Kristin has created has been enhanced with a plum highlight, which gives her hair an incredible shine.

We are moving

The little salon is moving to a new location. Our new home will be 2 blocks west of our Central Ave. location at 430 North Tamiami Trail (see the map above). We will still be "little" with all of the talented stylists and colorists that make the little salon the best in the area. Our new location will have light galore, natural light streaming in from the outside along with energy efficient LED lighting to aid our colorist/stylists in giving you the truest color possible. A generous parking lot right in front of the salon, with easy access from Tamiami Trail and/or 5th Street. We will be sending a newsletter to all of our clients when we make our move. The planned date is the 24th and 25th of May or 6th and 7th of June. We are all very excited to finally be in our new home and are equally excited to share it with all of you!
