The new blushing reds by Wella Illumina have arrived. These stunning beauties start off with natural looking blah color and are turned into stunning models. This model has three different colors that are infused with golden blonde, a mixture of a copper with lighter blonde creating a more “apricot” color affect. The new color processes only take about 1 1/2 hours to actually figure out which colors are best for […]

Who would have thought “silver is the new blonde?” For this season’s new look the inspiration pushes the boundaries of neutralizing the yello out of hair with pale metalics with a winter white and steely blue grey shades. Perfect case in point, my client Amy Harlacker wasn’t able to obtain the white look that she has been wanting for years in another salon. As we kept pre-lightening her hair to […]

Miami is a major hub in terms of finance, commerce, culture, entertainment, and fashion.

It has also been ranked the richest city in the United States and one of the world’s top five richest cities in terms of purchasing power.  Sounds like a place for beautiful people […]

Sardinia is an Italian island — the second largest in the Mediterranean Sea. Boasting an extensive history that includes everything from Roman ruins to Byzantine treasures inland, Sardinia is best loved for it’s coastal areas and short vacation getaways. I don’t know about you, but that sounds alright to me! In our new Copacabana Collection, the most fuss free color technique is named after Sardinia. It incorporates free-hand painting starting […]

There is nothing new about fashion and interior design inspiring and borrowing from one another. Think about the wild patterns of the 1960s and 1970s used in both wallpaper and dress fabric, or the bold, structured looks that became so prevalent in both how we dressed and decorated our homes in the 1980s and 1990s. Over the past few years we have seen the French technique of Ombre—a gradual transitioning […]

I’m loving the extra daylight at the end of the days since we moved the clocks ahead, but boy is it ever hard to get going in the mornings when it stays dark until after 7:00am!!!   I remind myself as the alarm goes off each morning that it gets lighter just a little bit earlier every day, but I still hate to leave my warm, comfy bed before the first […]

My assistant is one of the most organized and detail oriented people I know. She actually has a checklist for holiday entertaining that starts 10+ days before the family dinner she is hosting. Now, these family dinners are no small ordeal … 12–15 people, family and friends, some of whom come for the weekend, gather for an extravagant meal at a table set with the family china and silver, stemware […]

The area at the curve of your head and toward the ends of your hair are slightly lighter to give a natural look of being in the sun. I like to mix up the width of the different strands being painted—some skinny, some chunky—for an even more […]
