Always Something New for Carrie


It is always fun to have Carrie in my chair. About every 3rd cut, she is interested in something new and fresh. Last visit she went from a short bob, to short layers. This time she wanted something more structured and even shorter. So.....we went very short with a very short, clean bang and small focal point at the edge. This cut is very versatile, she can push the entire front up and back to get it off of her face, and to create a more dramatic look. The cut is textured on top which will move in interesting ways when she uses a firm styling product. I wonder what we will do on Carrie's next visit?? Check back in about 6 weeks. If you look back through older posts there are pictures on some of Carrie's past styles.

A Shorter Summer Cut for Marge


Marge decided with all of the hot humid weather that we have been having, a short, wash and go cut was what she needed. After Kristin put in lowlights and highlights to enhance Marge's natural color, we gave her a new Summer Cut. She looks pretty pleased with the low maintenance cut and not to mention, it really looks great on her.

Ashley from Cinci


Ashley was in town from Cincinnati and called after reading our reviews online. She was scheduled with Richard. Ashley brought a friend along for moral support, as she was a bit nervous about having a new style. The finished product was perfect for her hair and the shaped of her face. This is stunning on her, but with a face like Ashley's a crew cut would look great!

Vera's Short and Textured


Vera's hair was already short, but too heavy on the top. She needed a reshaping with more texture on top. I suggested that some areas in the back grow a bit for fullness. The longer side of the fringe can grow some, for a more dramatic look. Vera had been wearing her hair long until just recently when she "bit the bullet" and went short. Short hair suites her very well. She is an artistic woman who was looking for something with more of an edge. With the texture on top and the asymmetrical fringe she will be able to create fun changes.

A New Direction for Mary


Mary had been wearing the same style for quite some time. It was an attractive style, but she felt it was time for a change. She did some research on the internet and found the little salon then drove from Venice for her new look. Mary brought a few pictures that she had cut from various magazines, which I always find very help full. Pictures give me a visual of what the client means when she says words like "short" or "layered". These terms can be interpreted differently by every individual. I got a feel for what she was looking for and then determined what would work for her hair and her face. I also kept in mind what would be easy to maintain. She will be able to blow her hair dry or let it dry naturally. I did suggest that she use a flat iron to straighten the bangs and sides. This is a very youthful look for Mary.

Shades for Gabi

Gabi's hair has gotten very long, but the condition is still excellent. She has a RedKen Shades EQ put on every 6 to 8 weeks, to keep it shiny and to enhance the color. She also uses Morrocanoil after every shampoo, which helps to protect her hair from the sun and elements. Gabi's hair has alot of fine layering in it to give it fullness and movement.
