Simple haircuts for Spring
Despite the economic news, the spring 2009 runways featured bright, shiny and geometrically constructed collections. From red-carpet ready goddess dresses to ’80s street fashion to silky harem pants and jumpsuits, designers went bold. As a result, runway hair tended to be subtler. It seems this season is all about paring down the hair. Hair had a very modern feel that stayed close to the head. Loose hair was the exception not the rule.
Off the Face Hair
Whether swept up or slicked back, this season’s was kept away from the face with no bangs to disturb the lines. The close-to-the-head wet look was seen on the runways of Badgley Mischka, D&G, and Versace. At Prada, Guido Palau pulled hair into a classic French twist, and then gave the style extreme edge by giving it a lacquered look.
Middle Hair Parts
A runway staple, middle parts are sexy, simple and can be reinvented each season to work with bouncy curl, loose waves or super straight styles. Seen on the runways of Calvin Klein, Donna Karan, Marc Jacobs and Versace. The middle part can add edge to an updo or infuse style with casual glam.
Hair accessories
Almost every designer incorporated a headpiece into their show. Guido paired romantic waves with jauntry fedoras for Ralph Lauren and created “caps” by wrapping tights around the models’ head at Jean Paul Gaultier. Marc Jacobs fashioned a textured braid to go with the designers hats using Redkens‘ Fabricate and create flyaways for a messy look. Adding a hair accessory like a hat or headband can really complement an over-all look.
So, there you have the scoop for spring! We look forward to seeing you soon to incorporate these new looks into your life style.
Paris Hilton with John Hangarter’s
Miracle Makers Club
Joan Hangarter sent me an email today saying “Oh my God, Paris Hilton is reading my book!”
Four months ago Red Union Salon had a staff meeting with Joan Hangarter from Miracle Makers Club and Cheryl Stokes from Delphi Tree. The purpose of this meeting was to change our energy in the salon and create some miracles. The meeting blew my mind. There where so many “miracles” in the salon daily it was hard to believe.
Red Union Salon had been in business for 5 years and we needed to fall in love with the Salon all over again. Not to mention it was time to take the salon to the “next level”. What was the next level you ask? We have been getting the salon ready for “Critical Mass” for the past year and a half. To achieve that, we implemented an online booking service, “Appointment-Plus” as well as an answering service, Pat Live both booking appointments 24/7. Kevin Edwards, our webmaster, has also had a very strong impact of achieving our goal by rebuilding us an amazing website 4 months ago – and when it comes to SEO and website optimization “master” would be an understatement.
So, while everyone is screaming “The sky is falling!”, I am happy to report we are going stronger than ever imaginable. Red Union Salon’s business has increased 30% in the last 4 months all thanks to these wonderful folks and their outstanding abilities. At this rate “Critical Mass” is only months away and we are very excited!
Cooking with Amy is one of my favorite food blogs. Amy has a great post on reading up on Campania & Italy, which made me hungry for some pasta at Pasta Pomodoro.
