The Weather & Your Hair Color: Vegas Edition
The life of a Wella Educator is an ongoing adventure. Constantly traveling to different cities keeps me in tune with changing trends, seasons and varying details that ultimately influence our hair! My latest trip to Vegas proved to be not only a teaching, but a learning experience. The first steps I took outside in Vegas I was literally blown away at the out of control winter and cold temperatures. This time of year is usually a bit chilly in Vegas, but nonetheless, it was shocking! I made my way to Salon Bellagio to teach my first...
read moreNew Obsession: Rainbow Roots
Somewhere over the rainbow lies show stopping hair. We have all seen the very fashionable tones throughout the hair and have been overcome with passion for Pastels, Mint Green hair, Rose Gold hair, Ronze hair, Multicolored hair, and more, but now the color spotlight is shining on the Roots! This new application technique applies these fashion pigments to about the first half inch to two inches at the root area only, depending on the length of the hair. Hair color is in a wonderfully unique time right now. A time when even the most...
read moreHow to Detox Your Hair: The Importance of A Clean Scalp
“Detox” is a buzzword among many celebrities, nutritionists and stylists. You may already know about detoxing your body, but did you know that it’s equally important to detox your hair too? Hair detoxing can be one of the most overlooked processes of your beauty regime. Removing toxins from your hair/body helps build your immune system and can prove to be very therapeutic! As a Master Hair Colorist I recommend detoxing your hair every 3 months for a healthy scalp and hair. It is important to detox in order remove buildup...
read moreBlack Hair Color: Do or Don’t?
As a Master Hair Colorist, one of my absolute favorite hair colors to do for my clients is black. Black hair color can range from very intense to relatively demure, but one thing is certain: It is a commitment. If you’ve ever had your hair dyed black then you know what I am talking about. It truly is difficult to switch for black hair color to another hair color, the process takes time, and you need to go to a hair colorist who understands how to take hair color away from black without damaging the hair. These are all factors that need...
read moreMy Ronze Exclusive for The Colorist is Out!
On Monday, one of my major goals as a Master Hair Colorist came to fruition: My exclusive was featured in The Colorist. For those of you who don’t know, I have been a hair colorist (and after living and breathing the craft, a Master Hair Colorist) for over fourteen years. Throughout that time one of the publications that I read (and still read) to inspire me and keep me in-the-know was The Colorist, so clearly this is a very special moment for me. This article extremely fun to do because there is a video component included (I love doing...
read morePredictions for Most Popular Halloween Looks 2015
Halloween is a day away! If you’ve been keeping up with the blog, you know that the Master Hair Colorist in me loves any day that requires a little dress up. I have already talked about my favorite looks of years past, but what about this year? Each year brings with it a new set of trends which means that there will be a whole new set of popular costumes. I have a feeling that the following three are going to be making a massive appearance for Halloween 2015. “Suicide Squad” isn’t even out yet, but it has garnered a...
read moreKeep Your Hair Color Vibrant and Healthy in Cold Weather
October flew by in the blink of an eye and pretty soon the weather is going to go from chilly to full on winter. As a Chicago native I truly appreciate the winter cold and the merriment it brings with it. However, as a Master Hair Colorist I dread it because it wreaks absolute havoc on hair color vibrancy and hair health overall. Hair tends to get frigid and dry in these months and because most people don’t know the subtle nuances of proper hair care their hair color ends up looking quite dull. Today, we are going to discuss my favorite...
read moreMaster Hair Colorists Picks for Best Halloween Looks (Celebrity Edition)
As a Master Hair Colorist, I am pretty much obsessed with Halloween (any excuse for dressing up and I am all about it). That being said, my next few posts are going to be extremely Halloween-centric. As I try to find inspiration for my own costume, I keep looking through tons of pictures of celebrities costumes from past Halloween’s. Every year, we see our favorite TV, film, and music stars put together some pretty interesting Halloween looks. As I mentioned in my last post, I believe that the best Halloween costumes come from fully...
read moreUp Level Halloween with Temporary Hair Color
It’s almost the end of October and that means one thing: Halloween! I have always loved Halloween, but even more so since becoming a master hair colorist. You see, as a master hair colorist, I love creating and witnessing transformations which Halloween is all about. My heart skips a few beats when someone wholeheartedly commits to this night of make-believe and mayhem by going all out with their costume, not overlooking a single detail. Of course, “not overlooking a single detail,” means you need your hair color to come...
read moreThree Benefits of the Keratin Hair Treatment
Easy to style, silky hair is one of the most coveted desires for many women. We all want to walk down the street while our beautiful, easy, breezy hair flows just perfectly in the wind. Unfortunately, this is the farthest thing from our hair reality. We have to resort to over-styling, putting too much product, and generally stressing out way too much over our hair. It takes up too much time, annoyance, and mental energy. For the ladies who feel like they practically sleep with the flat-iron in their hand, I highly recommend getting a Keratin...
