Here Comes The Bride….

Summer is here, and it’s wedding season. Being very much an editorial stylist, I take care of a lot of brides, so I just wanted to offer congratulations to all the blushing brides! But also, I’d like to offer a piece of advice for the hair to be. Keep the hair style for that special occasion  more on the classic side of things, rather than anything too trendy. That way, it will always be in style.

Downtown Style

 When my husband and I decided to move from the suburbs to downtown Toronto, we were ready, excited and ready for a change. I was looking forward to being within streetcar distance to work, and not being stuck in traffic, or a snowstorm. On the other hand, I knew I will miss the ‘fun things’ [...]

Feelin’ Good….

   Clients come to the hair salon, not only for a great style, but also as a treat for themselves. Often a client will leave feeling uplifted, relaxed and with a better outlook then the one they wore on the way in. Getting a haircut is an hour away from reality, and it’s a ‘pick-me-up’ [...]

Roman Fashionistas

   I went on a recent trip to Rome, Italy, and even when I travel, I pay attention to the fashion of the area. Now years ago, Italy was always at least two years ahead of the game in fashion. But now I believe Torontonians are right up to par with the Roman fashionistas when [...]

LOSE THE PONYTAIL!

  Spring is finally here, but that’s no excuse for you long haired girls to start tying your hair in a ponytail. Ponytails are such a fashion crime, it makes me cringe. If this is because of your style, then it’s time to change the way your long locks have been cut. For spring, I’ve been [...]

New York Fashion Week, 2009!

  Fours days in New York City, three designers, two seconds until the models hit the catwalk, and one experience of a lifetime.
  I had the opportunity as a Sebastian Core Team Artist to experience and be a part of NY Fashion Week, any hairstylists’ dream come true.
  It all began with my eight hour delayed flight out [...]

Don’t Follow Trends….

    Grow a backbone, use your brain, and be yourself.
Because really, what suits one person, may, or may not, suit you…..
Take what inspires you, what you like and enjoy, not what the media tells you is ‘in’.
Do not get a haircut just because everyone and their dog is sporting it. That should be reason enough [...]

Short n’ Sweet

 What is the most attractive thing that a woman can wear? Confidence. A short sexy haircut is a display of confidence.  So this year don’t hide behind your hair.  Cut away the safety blanket you’ve been hiding behind and showcase your face.  Shape is key when choosing a short do so be sure to choose [...]

Just Ask me…..

   As I was walking through a local drugstore near my salon, I decided to have a gander at the hair care section. I couldn’t believe the selection of products they carry from professional brands. Now I ask myself do the people and cosmeticians working here really understand and have the knowledge to recommend the [...]

Sandro Says Rock 09′

The New Year is right around the corner, so let’s get 09′ started on the right track. New year, new hair, don’t be afraid to change your hairstyle. Shed those turkey pounds from the top of your head, carving off the layers and discovering those beautiful cheekbones you were probably hiding. 2009 styles are about [...]
