COLOR MELTING is a new term describing a blend of color/tones. It's Ombre but more subtle, yet strikingly beautiful in my opinion.  I ABSOLUTELY love it!!! and my clients do too! It's the hottest trend right now. It's dimensional and has a natural flow. While it can be created with foils, my method of choice is Balayage.  This method gives color melting a more softer look. The best thing about Color Melting is its low maintenance. No need to be a the salon every 5-8 weeks. It can take months for a salon visit! So instead of  creating a hole in your pockets, it leaves extra to spend on shoes or things you like. To get this look visit Nolan Vincent Salon Tuesday-Saturday or call 954-616-8817  to make your color melting appointment!!! Here are example of people rocking it!!! (both famous and locals)   Salon Client Adeline  Stylist: Maria Arias Salon Client Brittany...

My article featured on Our City Weston Magazine. After so many years of seeing the the original Ombre, we are now enjoying a more  subtle Ombre. I wasn't crazy for the original ombre. In Fact,  I have been doing subtle Ombre since the original Ombre became a trend.  I always told my clients that Subtle Ombre was more timeless and more natural. They agreed and they loved it!

The Amazing World Of OMBRE By Maria Arias 2012 was a year filled with wild hair colors and the amazing world of Ombre. Ombre is a French word that signifies “shaded or shadow.” In hair color it describes the gradual change in color from dark roots to light ends. The original Ombre debuted about 4 years ago. Cosmopolitan cities like Los Angeles and my beloved New York City Started this trend. Celebrities like Drew Barrymore, Jessica Biel and Chloe Kardashian became fans of this trend. It did not take long for the mainstream to take notice. Ombre was raw, blunt and it became the hottest trend ever requested at salons.   Ombre is still hotter than ever, thanks to this year’s makeover. Instead of the extreme and overpowering Ombre we saw in 2012 and the years before, expect 2013 to bring a more subtle and sophisticated form of Ombre.   Subtle Ombre is here to stay. It’s sexy, sensual, versatile, and easy to maintain. Sarah Jessica...

Staying true to my color philosophy " Hair color should look natural," I am not too thrilled with some of the bold tones that are still surfacing this season. I understand that with each year comes seasonal changes and hair is no different. In fact, Fall and Spring are the most popular time of the year when seasonal changes take place. Just because Pantone sets the trend for fabric colors doesn't mean that these color selections should fit well on hair. Pinks, blues, yellows, silver...Now don't get me wrong. I am fascinated by these tones and as a colorist, I crave to play with them. They look absolutely beautiful. Trends do come and go. They offer a breath of fresh air and excitement to one's wardrobe and hairstyles. Needless to say, the classics will always reign and will always be in style.With that said, lets talk about color trends: Ombre, Reverse Ombre, Pop of Color and Pastels/Avant-Garde Colors. Here are some examples: Absolutely gorge...

It was laying low for quite some time and thanks to us (creative colorists) and celebrities showing it off, Ombre is here to stay. It's become one of the most requested color service in salons.
