The only thing that is constant is change.

With the birth of every new season comes a new mind set and a new attitude.  The long dark days of the winter season tends to bring us inside our homes and reel us into introspective moods.  

Innately this moves us towards deep rich warm tones of colour in order to comfort our souls.  It is a time to be mellow and quiet with our lives, slowly moving about while contemplating prayer to the workout gods that you get on the tread mill before that first tank top day.  

Springtime opens up the sky and allows the sun to bare light upon our world again.  As the ultra violet rays touch our skin, they also touch our hearts with a fresh view and open eyes.  We see the patio furniture being dusted off and brought outside as winter jackets are hung back up for another three to five months. The flowers push their way out of the ground and grace us with a myriad of fresh colours.  It is time for us to push out of the dark browns and open up our petals of fresh colours too.  All we need is a good stylist for that.

The first winter thaw is the “root” of anticipation that brings us back to the salon, not only to cover the “roots” of our hair, but quite possibly to transform the dark and washed out ends into a fabulous new colour that matches the “budding” season.

With the dawning of fresh weather comes airy clothing.  The garments are cut and sewed with precision and yet are freeing to the body: skirts are higher and material is lighter.  Just like a new haircut, the shape is cut with precision yet length is higher and the texture is lighter.  It is time to let go of mother nature’s scarf and free the neck.

Christmas at the salon…

  As a  stylist, Christmas is my favorite time of year for several reasons. The season rolls in just after the last jack-o-lantern of halloween night goes dim. The TV commercials begin popping up and the whole city embarks upon the yearly ritual of decorating with trees, tinsel, and red and green ornaments. Christmas carols charmingly [...]

Why do Women hate their Curly hair?

 
As a hairstylist of 11 yrs, It has come to my complete attention that within a world of ultra trendy city slickers, comes a plethora of geometrically sophisticated haircuts and styles dominating straight haired women. Straight Hair that is cut with precision can exhibit a profound shape yet still possess the flowing tresses that women crave. Straight hair [...]

Banish the Mask….

   Usually summer brings trends of flowing clothes, hair, a natural sunkissed theme and a general feeling of less is more.
