Nail Design Trends




 Nail art is not just a trend anymore. While There is no doubt that classic and sophisticated nail colors will always be a top choice for many, nail art is now taking center stage. Nail art has brought in freshness, fun and excitement to once demure and classic nails.

While I'm more modest when it comes to dramatic hair changes, I have developed an interest in edgy and fun nail art designs. I started this love and attraction for edgy nails in 2009 with Minx Nails. I loved it! and it was a success among friends and families.

Texture and dramatic designs with crackle coat and and sticker designs began to explode and show up everywhere. The 2012 creative team has really pushed the envelop and boundaries a little more with the introduction of  Ombre Nails, Textured Nails,  Magnetized Color, 3D (Kawaii) Nails ,  Ring Finger Design and Caviar Manicures.

Nail art designs are everywhere, they are fascinating and less monotonous than the classic solid colors and the usual French manicure. So, when booking your next appointment try one of these trends. You might end up liking it!
As always trends need to fit, define and enhance your lifestyle, not the other way around.

Home Hair Coloring: Tips on How to Reduce Your Anxiety and Increase Your Confidence

We take pride on being self-sufficient. In fact, as parents we encourage our children to be independent from a very early age. Do-It-Yourself (DIY) projects are increasingly becoming  more and more like a staple for cautious spending. As a colorist, I do not condemn the use of store bought color. I believe people have needs and sometimes their resources cannot fully meet them. Another driving force to an increase in DIY home coloring, is today's economy and the Covid-19 Pandemic. Many men and women are finding very difficult to see their stylists on a regular basis, so they take the DIY challenge to save money and time. However, with any undertaken challenge comes a mixture of emotions. Going to a drug store to choose the perfect hair color shade can be a very daunting experience. The biggest obstacle for women (and men) is choosing the right shade. Manufacturers do a fantastic campaign job ( with high profile models and actresses) to allure consumers to believe that home

What It Means To Be A Master Hairdresser

      “If people knew how hard I worked to get my mastery, it wouldn’t seem so wonderful at all” Michelangelo Instant mastery of hairdressing skills is something we all like to achieve as soon as we complete beauty school. Wait, not so fast! The reality is that the road ahead can be demanding and laborious. Becoming a master hairdresser requires humility, patience and hard work. Like any other field, hairdressing has its specialties (color and hairstyling) and sub specialties (keratin, texture hair, sessions, updo, etc.). It gives us ample choices to select an area to master. It's been tested and tried, no matter the field, that time and practice leads to expertise. No matter where you are, it takes at least two years of preparation to be a good hairdresser and six years and above to be great or achieve mastery. No matter how skillful you may think you are, the more you learn the greater you’ll be. Albert Einstein once said “Only one who devotes himself to a
