Spring 2013 Hair

Naturally, most women tend to take their hair color a little lighter when the weather gets warmer.

Adding a little bit of dimension to a solid hair color can make you feel like a new woman!

A lot of my clients are adding more highlights to their blonde hair, or taking a deep brown to a softer lighter look.  I still have a billion clients asking for "melted highlights", and of course when they bring in a picture of "color-melted" hair it is always CURLED... which is why I like to curl those clients' hair to make the color look as close to the picture as possible.

Enjoy a few pics of what I've been up to lately and hopefully these will inspire you
to try a different hair color to welcome the {hopefully} warm weather.

{ps, depending on morning or evening appointments the lighting in the salon changes drastically... 

and these pics are taken on a phone... :)}

THE EMMYS: TOP 10 BEST HAIR AND MAKE-UP!

I love award shows!  All the celebs are dressed to impress! 

These were my most favorite looks for hair and make-up. 

#1.  Lindsay Pulsipher

I loved how stunning, yet soft, her over-all look is. 

She has perfect bangs and a chic milk-maid braid. 

Her soft peach colored cheeks, rosy lips and black winged eye-liner

compliment her tangerine dress perfectly. 

#2. Ginnifer Goodwin

Bow-chicka-wow-wow.  Everything is so GLAM! 

She pulls off the sleek styled pixie cut perfectly!

Her make-up is bold, but not over the top. 

Dark eye-lids and a nude lip is a great combo.

#3.  Sarah Hyland

This girl is GORGEOUS! 

Her melted hair color gives great dimension to her 

tousled up-do and curled tendrils (loose hair by the face). 

Sarah's make-up is something most women would wear daily

 but it also looks fabulous on the red carpet.  

Big lashes, just enough shimmer on the eye-lids, soft raspberry lips 

and perfectly blushing cheeks. 

#4.  Christina Hendricks

Christina's look is so old-hollywood glam!

Her lovely red hair color is great for her skin tone, 

and she is owning that hair style of undone finger-waves.

Plus, besides all that, she has great brows, 

black liner on her blue eyes, and a great red lip. 

#5.  Shaun Robinson

Beautiful side swept up-do!

Fabulous make-up!

Her skin looks amazing, and her brows frame her face perfectly.

Glossy lips, bold lashes, and black eyeliner are 

definitely a red carpet go-to!

#6.  Sofia Vergara

I love her curls! 

This hair style is so appropriate for the red carpet, 

but also great for everyday.

Her smokey eye lids and dark lips look great with her olive skin. 

#7.  Kristen Wiig

Kristen Wiig always looks fabulous! 

I really love how "undone" she looks. 

Her hair is very boho, and imperfect... which is what I love about it. 

Her make-up makes her skin look totally flawless. 

Her eyes are lined with black liner and her glossy lips stand out just enough.  

#8. Giuliana Rancic

First of all... I love Giuliana. Period. 

Her hair is in a totally chic ponytail. 

I love the pompadour in the front. 

Winged black liner, nude lip and bronzer is spot on gorgeous. 

#9. Brooke Anderson 

Beach blonde waves!!

Black liner and golden eye-shadow! 

Sun kissed Bronzed face and pinky pink lips!

She has got it going on! 

Last but not least... #10. Kiernan Shipka

I love the volume in her classy up-do. 

Her boyish brows and eye make-up are beautiful! 

I think she looks fabulous and youthful 

with her simple hair and make-up!

She is so pretty!

Here are some more FABULOUS looks from the Emmy's. 

I loved the fancy pony-tails, bold eyes and lips, and great dresses.
