Shear Genius 3-Episode1

My thoughts on the new season of Shear Genius
Matthew saying "google me"= VOM. I worked for Matthew right out of beauty school and 4 months in he quit/got fired by Charlie. He's not a bad hairdresser I just think he is a lot of smoke and mirrors-we'll see

Brig sweetie if you are going to rock a swim suit maybe a little spray tan-white skin shows all the flaws darlin

Janine was as cute as I thought she would be (I follow her salon on twitter) and I loved her runway hair-nice work little lady

Jon made me puke in my mouth a bit. Hate straight male hairdressers who think they are gods gift to women because they can do some hair-whatev!

Amy eh we'll have to wait and see

Adee- don't be such a drama king alright-No need to throw and kick shit

Everyone else slid under the radar so I will wait and see if their are any stand outs this week. I'm making my prediction for the final 3 right now

My good friend Charlie Price sent me a link his recap and well I pretty much agree with him. Here is the recap linky for his on Blogging Bravo. Enjoy!

Brazilian Blowout

I'm so excited-we are finally getting Brazilian Blowout at my salon. I've been researching and learning about it for the last several months and I'm in love. Our starter kit should be here Tuesday! I'm going to practice a couple and then it will be on my service menu. Who needs a Brazilian Blowout? Give me a call!
Check out this video to see what it's all about

Make up by Janelle Geason

Had a make up class with 2 time NAHA winner Janelle Geason. We had a really fun day and she did my make up for the class.

Seeing Red

My new color-well new in December. It's Aveda intense red/red (r/r) red/orange. Thoughts?

Losing It?

Recently I've been getting questions from female clients about hair loss and thinning hair. There are several things that can cause hair loss.

Genes~ Female-pattern hair loss can be passed down from either your mom or dad.

Seasons~ Hair has a growth phase and a resting phase. Once it finishes the resting phase (which lasts 3 to 4 mo) the hair is shed. In winter and summer more hairs are resting so that means we lose more hair in spring and fall.

Stress~ Physical or emotional. Physical stress like childbirth or surgery. Emotional stress like divorces or the loss of a loved one. The shedding usually takes place 3 to 4 months after that time.

Diet~ Radical diets where you don't get enough protein can cause hair loss. Protein is needed to make keratin which makes up hair.

Hormones~ When estrogen drops as it does during menopause the hair shaft dries up and becomes finer which makes it vulnerable to breakage and/or shedding.

Illness~ Thyroid problems, lack of iron, lupus and polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) to name a few. Also, medications like the ones for lowering cholesterol

If you are seeing signifianct hair loss-more than 100 strands a day take a look at these causes and then check with your doctor.

Golden Globes

Ah award season has started.
The hair at the Golden Globes was pretty simple saw lots of low buns like Nicole Kidmans

So many wore their hair down either straight like Reese Witherspoon

I also saw tons loose girls like Julia Roberts.

Pure Extensions Photo Shoot

The Pure Hair Extensions are put in with a copper tube
