ReStyled:

Modern, Refreshed Looks

Get out of that time warp and become brand new. If it’s been ages since you last changed up your hairstyle, it’s surely time for a change. No matter the decade your hair is stuck in, it’s never too late modernize your look. You may think, “There is nothing I can do about my unmanageable hair.” or, “My hair is easy to maintain, so why deal with the hassle of changing it up.” Sadly, there is no quick fix, but with the aid of a hair professional, you can surely obtain a nearly maintenance-free new look. Give one of the FANTASTIC, highly educated stylist at House of Hair Salon and Spa a chance, and we will make sure to give you a style that reflect your inner beauty, and bring your mane into 2016.

Forgo the hot rollers, and transition to the modernized rollerset technique, which rolls the hair out instead of inward. This version allows for more volume and a longer lasting revamped style. Another option is the rodset, which is similar in many ways, but utilizes differentiating sizes of rods depending upon the tightness of curl you desire. But if straight hair is more your style, get your hair professionally relaxed. When a relaxer is not optional, employ a flat iron. With any style change make sure to get a trim with any straightening treatment to keep it growing effectively and prevent breakage to give it a bouncier texture. Add a light highlighter to bring out your skin tone, which will brighten up your all around appearance.

During the 1960’s and ‘70’s extremely long, flat hair was rampant, but today’s stylings can offer much more variety and dimension.  A barrel iron is perfect to complete the process with a little wave, and rid you of that rough, brittle consistency. Layers are key to provide the illusion of fullness. For mature locks make sure to use a product like Aveda Color Conserve Shampoo and Conditioner to bring out the natural shades and a natural bristle brush to keep your natural oils flowing; otherwise, your color may appear flat and aged..

The ‘80’s were a spectacular time of exploration, which revolutionized the capabilities of hair design, but it could be time to revisit your look. Everybody loves a little volume, but to pull off a more professional, casual appearance a new cut and style may be in store. A short cut should give you that edge that you are seeking. Leave a modest amount of length on the bangs to allow for a little diversity in style. Shorter hair is always better with some texture, so grab a box of Aveda Texturizing Crème or Shaping Wax. For better results reverse your natural hair flow, which will restrict it from laying flat. Choose a bright color to further emphasize your style characteristics.

The braid was big in the 1990’s and is still going strong today. The more braids the better! Big braids with smaller ones in between quickly reinvent your braid styling. Or, leave a bit of slack in your braids to allow for more mobility for a loose bun. The side braid is, also, growing in popularity, as well as horizontal side braids with a French braid done the middle, which both expand on the concept of braiding. For an even more creative look do the horizontal braid or middle interlocked braids, which give you similar hair fashion. Use a bottle of Aveda Smooth Infusion Style-Prep Straightener or any one of the other softening Smooth Infusion products.

Whether you’re looking to simply refresh your look or completely modernized your look, House of Hair Salon and Spa has the expertise to provide you any style from any era, and the ability to give you the style update you yearn. As our scissors as our wands, we will work our magic to present you to the new millennium as a new and improved you.

BACK2SCHOOL Hair Impressions

As the school year approaches it’s about time to figure out your new look for the new year. We all want to make the best impression on our first day, so let’s figure out your new hairstyle first. After that, surely the rest of your look will fall in line.

This year is all about the natural look. From fall colors to natural hairstyles, we all may need a little help to achieve the perfected “natural” look we desire. Feel free to retain that fun, classic beachy look for as long as you want, but if you’re looking for a more drastic appearance go for some bi, sassy curls this Autumn. Make sure to get it done by a professional, so you don’t dry out your hair, and use correct maintenance afterwards to upkeep the buoyancy of the look. This will allow you to keep the bouncy, malleable tresses without all the hassle of more restrictive hairstyles throughout the 2016-2017 school year.

Get some highlighs/lowlights or buzz down the side of your head to personalize your unique hair type and style, and you’ll surely turn some heads on the first day back. With this edgy look you’ll be seen as bold and expressive. These looks show,” I’m going to be myself, so take it or leave it.”With that sort of confidence you will be starting off the year on a great note, and it will make way for even more positive energy to come your way. But if you’re not yet ready for such an extreme hair move, just get the under portion of your head cut down, so you can push your hair over for a more conservative look or try a swept over bang, which is currently all the rage with Taylor Swift sporting the look recently with a platinum blonde messy bob. For more volume part it off to the opposite side than usual.

Meanwhile, the braid is always in. What new and innovative for this school year? Take a trip back to the past and be inspired by the milk maids of lore.  Shay Mitchell of Pretty Little Liars fame lately showed up at an event with this style. Just pull your hair over to one side and braid as usual, tie at the end, pull it around to the front of your hairline, and fasten it behind your ear. Or, when you get into your later years of schooling you may want to try to maintain some of the youth of your past, so try the headband braid. Just get a braid, pull it over to the opposite ear, and clip. Another choice is the multi-braided bun, which requires you to separate your hair into sections, braid sections into cornrows, make into buns, and lock into place with a bobby pin.

These are just a few of the hairstyle you could try for the new school year. Come in to House of Hair Salon and Spa for more creative styles, hairstyling tips, and for a limited time we are offering $50 for any Back to School Natural Hair Service with Student ID.

BOLD

Modern Colors

Bold colors are easier than ever to achieve whether it be a drastic or subtle change. From hair extensions to wigs to weaves, there has never been such an abundance of choices in faux hair while hairstylists are becoming more and more accustomed to the rapidly growing hair colors and highlighting techniques. The ombre and balayage effects are becoming even more popular when intermingled with different hair tints. So go wild with some bright hues and be inspired by notable wild color success stories like that of Katy Perry's bright blue locks, Selena Gomez's rainbow highlights, Lady Gaga’s technicolor looks, and the ever changing shades of Demi Lovato. Although, maybe you prefer a more subtle look with just a little flair, well, coloring your tips or a semi-permanent color may do for you.

There are more products than ever to defend against the downfalls of frequent coloring such as: Damage Remedy Restructuring Shampoo and Conditioner, Dry Remedy Shampoo and Conditioner, and Color Conserve Shampoo and Conditioner, and Brilliant Emollient Finishing Gloss to maintain the shine of your new color.

Ombre is meant to create a subtle shadow effect with hair color; darker shades are intermixed throughout the faded colors. Balayage is more so a sweeping technique through the use of highlighting. Both ombre and balayage work well on almost any hair type. Although there are many similarities between the sun-kissed, grown out look that both ombre and balayage create when it comes to appearance, there are, also, many differences pertaining to the process and maintenance.

Ombre coloring will decrease as the hair gets lighter toward the ends to convey color blocking layers and a more natural appearance through slight transition of hues, which requires more effort to maintain than its counterpart. Generally, the ombre style is best on darker shades. The blonde look actually has its own name known as sombre.

Balayage application is done by highlighting triangular portions of the hair onto a foil. Unlike ombre, balayage creates an even less pronounced shift from dark to light while implementing dark shades all the way down to the tip of your strands. Even though balayage takes less work to sustain, you will usually need another application every 8-10 weeks compared to 6-9 months for ombre styling.

Just like any other coloring treatment, balayage and ombre look the best when they flatter your skin tone. Compliment the seasons by wearing  more vibrant shades in the summer and darker, nature colored shades in cooler months. Color correction may be necessary with recently colored hair.
