As fall and the holidays approach most want a new style.  With the change in clothes comes the change in hair.  It will make you feel new again and freshen up the sun drained hair.  Make it rich and shiny.  

1.  An oldie but, a goody... The pony tail!  This is not your gym pony tail either.  This is a sleek smooth finished pony tail.  High or low depending on your mood and length of hair.

2. Bangs! If you have them wear them.  They are very HOT this season.  Any kind full, or off to the side.  Just make sure you take the time to style them.   Blow dry bangs first, before your hair.  Use concentrated air so you can guide them in the right direction. 

 3. Imperfect texture.  This is like the beachy wave.  Not frizzy hair!  So yes; all you naturally curly hair people you still must do your hair.

4. The Bob...  This is a timeless hairstyle.  It will compliment any shape of face if done with you face in mind. Bobs come in all different lengths and can be created on any texture of hair.

I hope this helped to inspire your new fall style!  make sure when trying a new style you stay in you comfort zone to ensure you will Love your style.  Go out and make the world beautiful. 

Blow OUT!

The Brazilian Blowout!  This has got to be my most favorite in salon treatment of my time.  As a stylist I have several clients that struggle with frizzy hair.  In addition, I have incredibly frizzy hair.  I have used this treatment myself.  It is incredible!  It recently has won the stylist choice award and... has been featured in articles around the world.  It can take unmanageable frizzy hair and make it healthy while still maintaining the volume and hold that your hair always had and providing shine! 

Why is this treatment different form other smoothing treatments on the market you say??

They are the ONLY Professional Smoothing Treatment
that actually improves the health of the hair.
No Damage!

Entire in-salon treatment is completed in just 90 minutes! (for average lenght/thickness hair)

No down time! The minute you leave the salon, you can wash and air dry your hair, and it will be smooth, frizz-free and radiant!

Results last up to 12 weeks.

Leaves hair smooth, shiny, and frizz-free!

What is also nice is unlike other straightening products you do not have a grow out.  It just slowly looses its strength..  So no unsightly frizzy "roots".. 

If you are someone who would benefit form this service I encourage you to check out their website http://www.brazilianblowout.com  and contact a certified  Brazilian Blowout stylist like myself at, Bloom Studio Salon.  Or one in your area! 

Doing it Up, Style!

This weekend was full of weddings for me!  Which is always FUN!  My husband's cousin got hitched so, we attended that wedding. In addition to doing hair for a wedding at the salon...

Weddings are our time as adults to get all prettied up go out with our special someone.  But, always remember if you are not the Bride don't ever try to out do her and defiantly don't duplicate her hairstyle.  I know even as a brides maid you want to look gorgeous.  Take a step back because truly no one is really looking at you.  All eyes are on her.  She has spent months or sometimes years anticipating the way she will look, extra time and money practicing it.  Let her shine.

Therefore, lets learn some DIY wedding/party hair!  This is where that teasing blog I did will come into handy and also products I always tell you about that are so important.

Check out this link... martha stewart weddings  this is a  really good resource.  There is step by step and pictures.  Also some beauty tip too... never can get too many of them!

 If your hair is shorter and you are unable to achieve these looks at home.  Get a good accessory!  like a head band or broach and pin it into the side of your hair.

Teasing {101}

Who does not like great volume?  When you leave the salon you feel so peaked up but for some reason you have trouble recreating the look at home.  Well besides all the great product that we use learning how to tease  will help you recreate salon style at home. Teasing back combing and ratting (terrible word) are all the same.  This is a way to build a foundation to any hairstyle.   Your stylist will tease your hair after it is completely dry to give it that massive volume that we love.

This visual may help.

1. You will want to take a rat tail comb and section off zone #1. Pin it up and out of the way.

2. Then you need to take about 1 in. sections of zone 2 and from the left temple all the way around to the right temple. Be sure to spray each teased section with hair spray.

3. Comb hair back about one inch from the scalp to the scalp each section about 10 times.

{Do not be worried about what this looks like because it will not look pretty yet.}

4.  You will then un-clip zone 1  and smooth hair gently over the teased hair with a brush and into place zone one will cover the messy teasing. 

This will help to give you awesome volume for dressy, regular or just pulling your hair into a pony tail days. 

Tah-dah!!!! Teased Hair...

Beachy Waves

Make sure you use some product in your hair to protect it from heat control frizz and hold style first.  This style should be done on completely dry hair. It will  work best on someone with a little natural texture.

1. Split and braid your hair into two sections and tie with a rubberband.

2. Twist the braid away from your face.

 3. Then twist the flat iron onto your hair in the same direction your hair is twisted. Do not touch rubberband or else you will get that weird crease. Repeat this process twice!

After hair is cooled, then take them out and run your fingers through the braid.

Pony Tail "Trick"

This is a very simple trick in order to get a fuller longer looking pony tail.  This works very good for medium to long hair.  In two easy steps.  Good for fast on the go style or weekend hair. 

Enjoy your Friday with this fun flirty pony!
