Our New Location at 430 North Tamiami Trail

Here a few photos of our new space. It is actually the same size as our previous location on Central, but a much user friendly layout. It feels soooooo good. Come and see for yourself!

LyTrynna's Mom or Sister?

This is actually LaTrynna's mother, (LaTrynna is our receptionist and Jr. hairstylist)but she looks like she could be her sister. Yvonne came to visit her daughter from PA and while she was here I cut her hair and Kristin gave her a beautiful mahogany with golden highlights. Yvonne is also a stylist in PA.

Moving Day

We are moving to 430 North Tamiami Trail on Sunday, June 6th. We will be open for business in our new location on Tuesday, June 8th. See you there!!

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!

Ammonia Free Hair Color

In the Thursday Styles section of the NYT's on March 11 there was an article about "ammonia free" hair color. This new innovation is rightly called Innovation No Ammonia hair color. INOA, is being introduced to 200 handpicked salons by L'Oreal Professional for it's initial roll out. The advantage to using INOA above conventional hair color with ammonia is the cliente leaves the salon with a vibrant hair color that has covered the gray and left the hair in a smooth and healthy condition. No damage with ammonia free hair color and the salon experience is without the caustic smell and sometimes scalp irritation. The L'Oreal product is not the first to hit the professional market, they have the name and the marketing budget to get the word out. Not to mention that salons have been reluctant to try the "ammonia free" product for fear of the color not lasting. Here at the little salon we have been offering one of these pioneer products for the past 6 years. Organic Systems hair color is ammonia free and leaves the hair in a soft damage free state when the client leaves the salon. The line offers 65 beautiful colors.
