Feeling creative

As I posted before about the latest fall looks in style for this year, I had even more inspiration from my friends and clients! They give me the freedom to express my creativity freely and I am forever greatful! 

This gorgeous fall inspired ombré worked perfectly for Maria, we we also took her from long locks to a fresher, more updated below the shoulders cut with whisper sexy layers! 

For Laura, we created a lighter, more honey shade of ombré highlights over her natural shade. We finished the look with a sassy lob cut and some loose curls with the help of my GHD flat iron. 

I have a true love for updos! Valerie allowed me to transform her hair from a dark, reddish brown to a more vibrant shade for a fun new look. After the color, we played with a retro inspired headband that inspired me to give her an updo just for fun! I love this look! 

Jamie has had a level 4 dark reddish brown for a while now and was looking to spice it up a bit. I began with a color remover to lighten her tresses then applied a more vibrant shade of red accompanied by some panels of blonde. 

This isen't a color you get to do often! I made Jenna's strawberry blonde hair a little more funky by removing the color then applying Pravana yellow. It's a fun, unique look that is perfect for the client that's not afraid to be a little different! 

Welcome to a (belated) new year!

Hello friends! I know we are now in March and spring is right around the corner, but I have just realized I have not posted a new entry since October! Wow. Unacceptable!
New Years Resolution for 2012: Post more entries!

With a new year, came some changes! I recently moved to a new place that I love which is in south Fort Myers bringing me a little farther away from work. The "snowbirds" are in full force here in Cape Coral, Florida. The traffic has been crazy lately. If it wasn't for how much they stimulated our economy I would be very annoyed!

Another change for the new year is my hair! I no longer have long flowing locks. I now have sassy short hair! I must say it was a big change but I am absolutly loving it!

also, we added a new member to our family....

Her name is Winnie, and she is a Teddy bear puppy. Yes, teddy bear is really her breed! It's a mix between a Shit-zu and a Bichon.

Now that I have you up to speed, lets talk about hair trends for the Spring!

This season is all about adding new twists to old styles! The retro style waves are all the rage on the red carpet, were seeing more celebrities go for the short Audrey Hepburn pixie cut, the 80's asymmetrical cuts are making a comeback, and braids have been everywhere from the runway to your local schools.

I love how now-a-days anything goes as far as hair and makeup is concerned.

Now that the warmer season is approaching, I am having more requests for highlights and lighter tones. Ombre hair is still a phenomenon because of its low maintenance and high fashion look. Blondes are wearing more platinum, icy blonde tones, redheads are going for more of a vibrant look and brunets are rocking the sun kissed honey highlights.

Since I haven't posted in a while, here is some fun photos of my lovely clients!

Fun hair!

This is Jenna!

She is the receptionist at our salon. She has great hair and I've used her as a hair model before for the hair show. I was very inspired by Dev, a singer who has really awesome hair!

I pitched the idea to Jenna about doing this haircut on her because it suits her style, face, and personality and she was very excited to let me do this cut on her! Here is the results :)
