How to Keep Your Hair Color Looking Beautiful!




Rethinking color change begins as soon as summer begins and ends. The Summer’s sunlight helps control brassiness on blondes, while darker and red color tend to fade.

Although, color transformations occur during the Summer and  Winter months, hair color is constantly being reinvented. Here are some ideas on how you can always keep your hair color looking beautiful.



For the brunette, adding a glaze or adding warn highlights (honey, caramel) can be just the right change you need to enhance your color and your complexion.



For the blonde, adding a few lowlights (a level or a level and a half below your color) it's just what's needed to add dimension and  a more natural looking appearance.






For the redhead, keeping your reds warm by way of glazing (golds, coppers) and staying away from cools tones (e.g, violet reds) will help maintain your color vibrant and rich.





Do not be afraid to re-invent yourself and your color. Just analyze and consider your lifestyle, skin tone and maintenance schedule before a major change.

Always remember that dramatic color transformations may change the condition of your hair and taking baby steps to achieve a more dramatic change (e.g., dark brown to blonde) is always more safer for your hair. Taking baby steps will give you time to adjust to the color change of your choice.

Remember, Shiny, Happy Hair Is What's Always In!

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 mo...

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. Ombre Nails by nailsartgallery.info Texture and dramatic designs with crackle coat and and sticker designs began to explode and show up everywhere.

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 devote...
