Fohawk Haircut

I first layered his hair, all over, three inches long.

With a #5 attachment cut half way up sides, and back.

Leave the middle of the back long.  Cut the longer hair to blend the shorter hair.

Use the trimmers to clean off excess hair around the ears, beard, sides, and back.  I used a #4 clipper attachment to shorten the sides above the ear. Use texture shears on the longer hair.

So handsome!!

Hair Transformation

I had so much fun cutting and coloring Kaylee's hair!  Her hair was long, stringy, and so dry.  She was ready for a big change.

She wanted a layered bob with blonde on top and red underneath.  It turned out gorgeous!

She loves to tease the heck out of it. 

Mens tapered fade hair cut

I started with a #4 guard on my clippers and cut off the hair at the temples on both sides and the crown.

Then a #3 guard on both sides 1/2 way up to blend, then a #2 guard 1/4 of the way up to blend. 

I cut the top short, one finger width with my shears and cleaned up the edges with my t-edgers.

This cut is very stylish. As the cut  grows out it will look good for a long time. My son looks so adorable and definitely styl'in!!

Party Hair Style for Long Hair

Not too formal hair style for long hair. Tina wanted to wear her hair down for a big get together with family and friends. She is a nail technician. At work she always wares her hair up in a pony tail. She wanted to look nice and wear her hair down, so we decided on this style for her.

 I used a med size curling iron. I started with sections on the bottom. I sprayed every strand with Joico firm hair spray. This will make it stay in. Your hands can get a little sticky but it works great. Then I back combed the crown for some height . After that I pulled up the front of her hair and crisscross with bobby pins to the crown of her head. So cute!!

JoiMist^® Firm

• This firm-hold aerosol spray locks in finished style for all-day hold and support.
• UV protectants protect against daily environmental stress.
• An excellent humidity-resistant firm-hold spray that maintains hair    shape throughout the day.

 This is her finished product. She love it, so did her friends and family at the party! She is going to have her first baby soon. I am excited for her!

Locks for Love

What a great gift my client gave! I cut 91/2 inches of his hair, that he had been growing out for almost 2 years. It was grown and cut for one purpose; for locks for love.

I measured it because it needs to be 8 inches long or longer to send it in; then wrapped it in a tight rubber band.

 Then I cut it off. I think he lost some weight with all that hair gone!

Now he is going to grow it out, so he can give it away for locks for love again.

Dark Hair Color

This color and cut is bold and eye catching!

I used 4N Vero color 20 volume peroxide ( roots 15 minutes and pulled through ends another 15 minutes) with a bleach pick-a boo strip on both sides. For the bleach I use color graphics with blue pigment and 22 promoter.

I cut the back in a lot of layers with a razor and kept  the front longer with very few layers. Then I used the straightening iron to style it out.

Jordan is going to look great for her graduation!

Ask your hair salon professional to try Joico color, and products on your hair. You will see and feel the difference!! Such Great Products! The Best!!

Mahogany Hair Color

Mixing mahogany and deep copper red, gives a bold and beautiful look!! This look will turn heads! I use Joico Vero K-Pak Permanent Professional Hair Color.

Jordan wanted to try a new and totally different color!!

She started with light to medium brown hair.  On the top half of her hair I used 1/2 tube 5RM (red mahogany) and mixed it with 1/2 tube 5RR (red garnet) 20 volume peroxide.  On the bottom I used 1N Black.  I left the color on 25 minutes.  If your hair is darker you will need to use 5RM and 6RR (ruby red).

Putting a section of black underneath gives an even bolder look!!

Getting a Hair Cut

 Choosing A Hair Cut

We have the freedom to express ourselves with the hairstyles we wear. There are different methods to achieve what you want.  There are  many tools to get the results you desire.
1.  Make sure your stylist is experienced and well educated in this field.
2. Good communication and taking the time for your consultation is a must, in perfecting your style.
3. Having a picture really helps the stylist to know where you are coming from; to make it achievable, so you can get the hairstyle you love.
4. To maintain your style, trim hair before split ends start. It will keep hair healthy.  Having a great cut gives you more confidence.  It is a great feeling!

 Hair Styles

What's in? What do you like?
Some classic cuts never go out of style.
1. A blunt cut can sometimes look boring but sometimes classy!
2. Layered hair gives texture will give movement to the hair.
3. Stacking will give fullness.
4. Slide cutting with a razor around the face is great technique, and gives great shape.
5. Tapering and blending is a must when cutting men and women's short styles.
6. Make sure your hairdresser checks the hair cut over and over again it ensures an even cut.
7. Detail work at the end of a cut is what gives it the polished factor.

 Healthy Hair

Get Pre-Conditioning Treatment before and after chemical services.  Once a month get deep conditioning treatment.
A good one is Joico 4 step treatment.  I use this at the salon.  Leave each item on hair 3 to 5 minutes.
1. Chelating Shampoo removes build up off hair.
2. Cuticle Sealer restores pH balance and smooth-ens the cuticle.
3. K-Pak Reconstruct Treatment rebuilds hair structure.
4. K-Pak Intense Hydration quenches dry damaged hair.

 Body and Fullness

Scrunch hair when drying, use voluminous products.  Color and highlighting gives volume. Root boost, thickening products, curling and back combing gives fullness.
Watch out because most volumeizing  products dry out your hair. Don't use them every day!

 Straight Hair

Use smoothing and straightening  products also silk products with a silicone base.  Pull hair straight when blow drying with a round brush and use a straightening iron.
There are some great  permanent  straightening services that are available. Ask your stylist.

 Spike

Use a stiff gel.  Joico Spiker hair glue works great! Get your hair cut short enough so it will last!
Remove product build up
Chelating and clarifying shampoos helps remove build up off hair from styling products and mineral deposits.
Tip: Another great way to remove build up use 1/4 cup of baking soda and a couple tablespoons of shampoo.  Put in hair for 5 minutes and rinse then condition.

 Hold

Use moose, gel, lotions, and or  hair spray.  Don't over use products, it will weight hair down.

 Color

Professional color has come a long way.  It is better for the hair now and comes in more vibrant longer lasting colors.
1.  Good color will condition the hair, and will give body and fullness. I use K-Pak Joico color, Redken color gloss, and Matrix highlight bleach.
2. It is absolutely amazing how coloring your hair can change your appearance!  Blending or covering  gray can look natural.  Highlights can be bold or subtle.
3. Get some inspiration and try something new. Get ideas out of magazines, and off the internet; ask your hairdresser to make suggestions.
4. Exploring different options is fun, just make sure you are ready for a change.
5. If you are new to color, it might be better to try a demi- color.  It is great to be able to have the choice to change our hair color!
Mahogany Copper Color with Black underneath!
 

High lights on red heads look great!!  It takes longer to cut through the red, but after your done it looks spectacular!!
Mens Highlight for Red Heads!
My son Aaron is a young man with red hair. Highlights look great on red heads!!
Yes, I did not foil but use a cap, and it worked out great!! I used color graphics bleach powder with 22 promoter and blue pigment.
Getting a Up-do
1. Does your hairdresser know how to do an up- do?
2. A picture of what you want is important!
3. Make sure before the wedding or special event you get a hair consultation and a practice appointment, so it will be right for the big day!
Great UpDo!  This is the Maid of Honor.
