Our team at Indulge Salon will teach you how to care for your hair with the special shampoo, conditioner, styling products and how to treat your hair to make it last longer.

Here is Michele’s story:

She was trying to bleach her hair to make it lighter so in her efforts to get it really light she bleached her hair out 3x leaving it on for 90 minutes. The result is that her hair broke off. As you can see in her pictures, the hair around her hairline is short.  She ended up coming into the salon for a consultation for hair extensions. She was missing her long hair and it seemed that her hair wouldn’t grow longer than a certain length.

Her visit to Indulge Salon on South George Street was with Keni, a Sr Stylist of 15 years colored her hair to match the natural hair extensions. Kimberly installed them to work with the shape of her skull and to make sure it worked for her on a day to day basis. Take a look at her results. She was so happy!

Indulge Salon presents Iconic golden blonde by Wella, the new FREELIGHTS balayage highlights color

It’s time to perk your winter up with some and break into the NEW 2015 Spring/Summer diffused highlight color collection at Indulge Salon.

If you feel your hair is ready for a new look, then you need to really ramp it up with some fun highlights such as BALAYAGE HIGHLGHTSwhich is a type of french hair painting that is strategically placed on the hair in the areas that you want to grow out and look sunkissed. The OMBRE HIGHLIGHTS is really spectacular with the lower portion of the hair being lighter than the top of the hair which has been popular over the years.  No longer do we have hair color that is stripey. That was a few seasons ago. We are OVER that look. Now is more of a blend of color that diffuses and melds into each other for a beautiful rich tone.

The newest trend is Diffused Couture color. These techniques are so beautiful that I think these are some of my favorites. IF you are more of an artisan and enjoy the unique customized hair color choices for your skin coloring, lifestyle and want to look your absolute best that is unique to you, then you want to try these new colors. We have some beautiful powdered blushing reds, iconic golds that are more of a golden butterscotch that has multiple tones running through the base dark blonde color, we have a warm fusion of spicy browns with caramel FREE LIGHTS that are hand painted into your choice of color as apart of the new era of sun kissed highlights.

White light is what Wella calls our ultimate powdered nude blonde. Its pre-lightened to a really light shade then we tone it to the perfect color tones. I know you would like to try to do it yourself however; creating the best color for your skin tone is hard to do by yourself because we are the artisans of your hair. The lightening part of removing your dark spots or orange brassy tones are hard to get out of the hair. Tough. Instead of trying to do this yourself, look to your professionals at Indulge Salon. Find the location nearest you at www.indulgesalon.com/location-hours.

Owners, managers, you got busy doing the day to day things and the next minute the day has slipped by until your eyes pop opden like a shot thinking how could I have forgotten these amazing people that work with me and for me. Yep, I did it too. Now we have to do clean up because it really did slip our minds. They are thinking, “I work my a.. off  and you didn’t recognize me for the amazing person I am and what I do for you to make your day easier?” Really. I did. Shame on me as a business owner.

It doesn’t matter that you have a lot going in your personal life or business life, you are the chief instigator, the CEO of your life, the CFO, the Marketing specialist,  the President of your company and believe me you may have created your world but you “ain’t” nothing without your team. I know. I appreciate the girls that I work with and don’t tell them enough. I’m one of those perfectionists that I can always find ways to improve something. So let me translate from them, “nothing I do here is good enough, she will always find something wrong” True from the horses mouth. However; if I wasn’t that way, believe me we wouldn’t be able to create the best hairstyles and the best haircuts, manicures, pedicures, waxing, and highlighting that could possibly be provided to you without this expertise attitude. I wear it with pride.

This model can carry off the intensity of the red hair color. Try us at Indulge salon york pa

Spring 2014 is one of excitement and high glamour coming up with the Red Carpet runway. I say let’s join them with the red hair contrasting with orange or peek a boo color emerging out of the bangs. Sprigs of color are popping out everywhere for freedom of expression.

If you have red hair this vibrant, no need to be a wallflower this season, flaunt it to the world how proud you are to have red auburn hair, orange tangerine hair color  with the golden apricot colors.

We are seeing some surface shine color techniques that show off fine hair on the top longer lengths vs the shaved sides enhanced with darker colored sides of the head.

If you want to read nore on trends going on go to www.indulgesalon.com (home page) then click how the Learn More button which will take you directly to the Color Explosion page. This page will describe to you in detail what can be expected with some of the trends.

New techniques that are in store for 2014. Try Sombre’ a combination of Ombre with the thicker highlights that naturally would be darker through the top root area. Balayage is natural painted highlights throughout the top of the head down to the mid length and ends.

You know the old saying, “what’s old is what’s new” is back again. I realized that we have so many unique glazing opportunities to give shine and strength to the hair. We will take the tangerine shade and glaze it over a golden hue or over a darker auburn to give more warmth and shine in the light that is reflected.

In some areas we are over pigmenting with the blush shades in specific areas of the hair to enhance the pinks, purples, bright oranges, and the intense red shades. We can even multi-tone, multi-layer haircolor because it’s so safe for the hair and scalp.

This is one of the newest looks provided by Loreal. We express ourselves at work with our hairstyle, makeup, and work attire. What message are you sending at work when you show up? Do you have skin showing inappropriately? Do coworkers make comments that you are ready for the bars after work? Well, I don’t really know if that is a compliment or maybe they might be trying to tell you something at work. I know that we certainly are tired of seeing all of that skin showing from clothes not fitting properly, no makeup, and hair that is not kept up as we would expect at a professional position. Over the years, I have seen the way women carry themselves this past year have gone south. Not in a good way. It appears that women seem tired, worn out from carrying the load of being a mom, provider, and coach to their children let alone trying to climb the business ladder to improve their performance at work. Whew, those are many roles to play with limited time for oneself. I often hear, your luck I made it here on time. This is a shame because we have beautiful women in York, PA that have let themselves go for the sake of others. I speak from experience with my own children growing up and I still have one at home. Either way, we have got to feel good about ourselves so that we can continue to give to others. Wearing makeup this year is very classic and is simple to do in the morning. Low maintenance yet striking for the day. We are trying to help our women in York, PA to look better so that they are paid better. There has been a study done that you can read about stating that women make more money when they appear more professional at work. I believe this and can see the results over the years. I also have noticed women that take better care of themselves along with their dress code have been treated better by coworkers and strangers that don’t even know them. Better customer service is given to the women that treat themselves better. Hairstyles are focused more on a bob such as the one you can see above with highlights, movement and texture. The longer the hair is showing with waves that lay over the shoulder. The image of the new professional is demonstrating tweed skirts, simple classic tops with heels again. The heels and boots are not to tall and yes you can still walk in them. Treatments have become available to help offset those stress wrinkles around the eyes and mouth. The harder you work, the later you stay up at night will temporarily age your skin. Think about going to be earlier and rewarding yourself with a facial peel or you could call them chemical peels that peel away the dead skin that has built up during the months of stress. If you feel totally out of control, perhaps you could try some meditation for peace and calm. Good luck with the new work look this season. Try some auburn burnished brown with a clear gloss over top to give you the shine and manageability you might be looking for which will eliminate the dry hair. All hair types need some type ofprotection over the winter months. Ask for cellophanes to help protect the skin. Call 717.846.4424 for more information on the new work look at Indulge Salon, York PA. We are located at the S George Street location.

Our Balayage tribute to Capri is a free-hand highlighting that is lighter at mid-length and toward the ends of your hair, following the flow of your hair style, to create striking movements of gorgeous color, as though we imitate the tango in your hair.

If you have questions or concerns about the sunscreen you have been using, don’t hesitate to contact our South George Street salon and ask our skin care technician if you have adequate sunscreen protection in your brand.

Ombre Sardinia

In our new Copacabana Collection, the most fuss free color technique is named after Sardinia. It incorporates free-hand painting starting at your hairs mid-length to the ends. There is absolutely zero regrowth with Sardinia Ombre. But like all of the Balayage highlighting, it follows your cut and the natural flow of your hair creating the most natural color dimensions. We apply it to dry hair in a variety of widths so there is nothing contrived about the finished look.

There is something for everyone in our six new exotic Balayage combinations in the Copacabana Collection. Could Sardinia be right for you? Call us at 717.846.4424 today for an appointment or check out our website at www.IndulgeSalon.com/balayage-highlights.

In my last post I talked about Ombre—the French technique that creates a gradual transitioning of color—and how it is becoming so much more prevalent in fashion and home décor these days. Check out this beautiful dining room and how the color transition calms the room in an almost lyrical way.  It’s beautiful isn’t it? Trendy and current, but by no means something that seems more appropriate for your daughter’s first apartment instead of your more established and conservative home.

As this trend picks up momentum in other areas—especially home design which tends to have much longer staying power than trends in fashion and beauty—it might be time to reconsider how you can incorporate it into your personal style. If you aren’t sure you are ready to commit to the gradual change of hair color, how about playing with nail color ideas?

Check out these examples, one a bit more fun and edgy, the other, any woman—no matter how conservative—could easily pull off and start experiencing this exciting color technique. Call Indulge Salons 970 South George Street location at 717.846.4424 for a nail appointment and while you are there take a look at some of the Ombre techniques for hair color too. It just might grow on you!

The post Design Trends—Ombre part 2 appeared first on Salon York PA - Indulge Salon.

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 of color—picking up more and more momentum.

You have likely seen Hollywood starlets sporting the blonde tips midway down their tresses. If you have a more conservative style, you might have thought “gee … I don’t know, that looks a little lazy … do you need a root touch up?” but just when it seemed the edgy trend may be over, it is appearing stronger than ever on the runway and in home décor.  Check out these home interiors and furniture that beautifully incorporate the technique for a fun yet sophisticated look. 

 Our guess is that with it as an emerging trend in these areas it will become more and more mainstream in hair color this year. After all, home décor trends last a bit longer than those in fashion and beauty so it’s likely to create more staying power and influence in those realms. Even the more conservative among you may be tempted to try some version of this now that you are seeing it everywhere else. Might we suggest more auburn or reddish tones in your brunette color if you are still resisting the blonde tips? 

Call us at Indulge Salons York, PA at 717.846.4424 to discuss this hottest trend in hair color today!

Next up we will discuss Ombre in nail art. Let’s face it, that doesn’t take anywhere near the same courage or commitment and it might just be a safe way for you to experiment with this exciting trend.
