Hair images that I'm obsessed with right now.

Pinterest has been an amazing source for gathering cool images. Here are some hair/beauty images that are my current obsessions for Jan 2012.....

soft, loose waves

Fishtail braid and orange lips...... LOVE

Breathtaking...

How cute is this?

This pic is definitely leaning towards the avant garde side of things... but I love the grey hair on such a young looking face.

What hair trends are you into right now?

BRAIDS!!!!

Love these images from Harpers Bazar UK.
Braiding has been hot for a while and it doesn't look like its going to stop. Lots of upstlyes are incorporating braids for both fun and elegant looks.
Looking at these pics, makes me want my long hair back!!!

WEDDING HAIR

After having not one, not two, but THREE wedding parties in the salon on Saturday, I have been inspired to do my next post on Wedding Hair. The style that all the ladies requested, was either a low bun, (clean like in the first picture) or a textured variation of it.
ENJOY!!!

High Fashion: Braids and Chignons. Spring/Summer 2010

Today, I attended a "high fashion" hair styling class.  The main focus of the class, was to learn different styling techniques, based on what was featured on the runway for spring/summer 2010 in NYC. Many of these trends will be (in the salon) what are clients are asking for in the next couple of months.
There was a lot of braids and chignons. Classic styles, but all with a modern twist. Of course, I did not remember my camera, (silly me) or else I would have post the exact styles that I did on the mannequin head. (I would literally forget my head if it wasn't attached to me).
So, I am posting pics from the web. These are the closest styles, to the ones that I learned today.  All totally wearable and so feminine.
I love updating my skills each season, with educational classes and workshops......it is truly a great feeling to walk away from a class feeling re-inspired. As beauty professionals we NEED this!
Spring 2010 will be all about the "braid", and what you can do with it!
