WHAT IS HOT FOR SPRING 2009 HAIR STYLES ?

by olympia on May 28, 2009

Hello Everyone,

It has been a Wild Spring in the salon, clients have been coming in and the long hair cuts just dont work any more. I hear it all day long “what should I do with my hair ? ” That is not an easy one to answer, not because we hair stylists do not have ideas, trust me we do, its because the new look should be easy for you to do at home AND make you look good . So I have compiled a list of the most popular hair cuts and styles for this season. If you are thinking of a new spring makeover , I do hope this list will help:

HOT HAIR TRENDS

1. SHORT HAIR CUTS as in a crop with simple lines, tons of texture, and a long side fringe to add interest and spunk. Keep in mind that a short crop can be changed from tom boy straight to curly and wavy by just using a bit of gel or pomade. A few well placed foils around the fringe to add dimension to the new cut should do the trick. A good haircut should’nt break the bank, and at Miracles Salon we strive for value AND style.

2. SHORT LAYERED BOBS Think of a page boy bob but with tons of razor cutting in the back/sides and a bit of a soft wave around the face. Clean fundamental lines infused with the fluid razor strokes. A pastel or ice brown color gloss makes this hair cut free spirited and perfect for warm weather. We have also been doing a rich dark red color base with cinnamon and honey high and low lights that is out of this world delicious. What is also DELICIOUS is the price for womens haircuts….$30. The price DOES include the blowdry ladies.

3. MULTIDIMENTIONAL COLOR The Colorista’s in the salon have been going crazy with this seasons latest trends:The Spring Collection haircolor is multidimentional, richer, based on the colors of nature herself-chestnuts ,auburns, caramels, brandys,and cool blondes to awaken the senses. We have developed a process to do everything at once: color the base, lowlights and highlights which not only saves time but saves the hair from dryness and double processing. Miracles is having a Spring Special Coupon which you can access from www.miraclesinthecity.com/beauty-product-coupon.html

4. NATURAL TEXTURES As in lovable mop tops, are huge with men’s haircuts this season, especially the well groomed kind. The inspiration comes from the urban music scene AND the techno savy hipsters in our town. Our men haircuts start at $20…..cutting edge WITHOUT the attitude.

5. CHIC CHIGNONS As an attempt to escape todays abysmal economy, Stylista’s are going back in time and creating chic chignons from the 1920’s and 1930’s era. The updos are classic and yet with shades of the extreme: Boxy, rolls, embellished and a little bit of “I have a hangover from last night” . We…at the salon call it :mixed media updo. A Very fresh look for Proms.

Well thats about it for Spring Hair: Cut it short, add a fringe, enhance the color and dont be afraid to evolve and change. Remember that beauty is skin deep and hair DOES GROW BACK !

AS THE HAIR BURNS…AND OTHER NEWS FROM THE FRONT

by olympia on March 6, 2009

Hello Everyone

It has been a while since my last post, and I am very sorry about that. Thank you for the nice emails and concern. We have been so busy at the salon, trying very hard to stay on top of our game. I have NEVER seen an economy such as this. I have lived through Coup D’Etats, Riots, Chicago’s East side,the gas crisis of ‘77/78, Baghdad the day before the invasion, Herat, Afghanistan during the war with Russia, BUT THIS IS BAD.

For most of this past week we have been doing corrective coloring and conditioning treatments on people that have BURNED their hair trying to do it themselves. Let me back-track a moment and tell you that since I am now an Internet mogul, I placed one of those Google Ads online that said “Hair Loss? I Can Help” . OH MY LORD the amount of phone volume crashed my phone lines and Verizon was out twice this week to fix them. NOT FUNNY. We are officially out of the Collagen Hair Treatments, they went like hot cakes. I called Clairol and Wella and they told me that the Hot-lines for them were also overwhelmed with calls.

I do not know if I should laugh or cry people. I DO know what being poor feels like, fear grips you and does not let go. The thought of hunger, homelessness, jobless, no health care is all depressing. A few years ago we never had these thoughts, if we did, we brushed them off as groundless. So what’s happened? I can blame many things: Cable News Media, Greed in Wall Street, Ineffective Government, and the ABILITY of all of the above TO HOODWINK US.

They say that if one does not ACT against a WRONG, then it is perceived as accepted. This is me taking a stand and saying I DO NOT ACCEPT THIS. I refuse and rebuke all fear, America IS and WILL be just fine. All of the economic indicators, except housing , have nowhere to go but up. Housing will take a while because the American Dream of owning a home had become a Fantasy instead. YOU CAN’T AFFORD A MILLION DOLLAR CONDO ON 100K SALARY PEOPLE. Get a grip, live within your means, do not do your own hair, turn off the news, look closely at your children’s faces and smile. As for me I have to go now…THE PHONES ARE RINGING OFF THE HOOK.

Where are all the great hair colorists hiding?

by olympia on January 28, 2009

Hi, Voula Here:

Coloring your hair can be a big step, particularly if you’ll be lightening or darkening your hair more than a shade or two. While hair coloring can be done successfully at home, it carries with it a certain degree of stress and headache. There are so many factors to consider from selecting the proper shade, selecting the right products, to using them effectively. Sometimes you need the help of a professional hair colorist to get the results you want without falling victim to a “bad dye job.” If you need professional consultation before taking the big step, here’s how to find the right hair colorist:
