David Groupe demonstraing EIMI Rugged Texture on his hair for Indulge Salon Greensboro Ga Lake Oconee

In future blogs I will be demonstrating and/or showing you some of the individuality pics of our Lake Oconee location in Greensboro, GA manager David Groupe the results of some of the coolest texture products that he has demonstrated on his hair. We appreciate his creativity with these pics of the textures.

Fragrances that are infused into these products are clean, airy floral notes, ambery notes in others. They are not overpowering in any sort of way. all of the products are minimalist unless you decide as the creator of your style ot add more product. Mix, push, spray, puff your way into your individuality.

Other benefits of these products such as the “perfect me” spray is used as a primer on damp hair to prepare the hair to accept other products leaving the hair feeling natural not loaded with product. One of my favorite products is the sugar lift. I’ve sold out of it in a week I love it that much. I have super fine hair that can be weighed down easily. I don’t like sticky feeling hair that is hard to get through when it starts drying.  This EIMI Sugar Lift was a new addition to my beauty regime in the morning. I put a couple of spritz’s around the curve of my head underneath and then I blew it dry. My hair felt thicker with less product. My clients noticed a difference. Thank goodness it felt fuller and moveable. Try the EIMI Sugar Lift.

As far as price point, all of the EIMI products are reasonable and affordable ranging from 15.00 – 22.00. Cool right? Some of the products will last about 3-6 months so you get your monies worth. Stay tuned for more product information on our blog.

Look who got a hair makeover here in Greensboro, Ga at Lake Oconee! 

Here at Indulge Salon, we often have clients come in asking for a specific look but not always entirely aware of the work that went into creating a specific colour or look. We call this COUTURE COLOUR. A colour that is highly customized and created using a variety of techniques to give you the client a look that is photograph ready. A lot of todays looks are very natural and simple. But creating a colour that blends seamlessly isn’t always as simple as it may seem.

Todays client hair makeover comes from master stylist, David at Indulge Greensboro, Ga. His client Cara is a young mom and an elementary school teacher. She has a young face and braces so its very important to her as a young professional to keep a look that is easy yet sophisticated!

She had been seeing a stylist regularly at her previous hometown and driving a distance to see her for her colour needs. However she has been looking for a salon closer to her new home.

After her last visit, her previous stylist had made her hair too solid and too dark and she was having trouble with the layers since growing her hair out from a bob hairstyle. Her stylist could not fit Cara in for a few days for a correction, so she sought out her new GO TO colour destination in the Lake Oconee area!

After a thorough consultation David discussed with Cara her likes and dislikes with the current condition of her cut and colour situation. She had pulled out some inspiration pictures of beautiful brunettes with a very “lived in” highlight. For fall we are calling this look THE BRONDE! Some of her inspirations reminded us of Jessica Biel! And she was excited because she said her husband’s celebrity crush is Jessica Biel.

David explained to her that because she was trying to achieve a very specific look from scratch that it would be a multiple step process to achieve the desired effect. First David chose his Magma Freelights Lightener and decided to hand paint a highlight on top of the existing color. We carry only professional use color such as Magma brand because it is a tonal lightener (lifts color out and then tones it at the same time)  it gave him control of the

underlying colours that were exposed as these highlights were lifted! Usually, when lifting hair colour, the hair can turn brassy or get to light.  He chose to use two different tones for dimension, a warm gold brown and a softer blonde shade. After the lightener was done processing the hair had a wonderful dimenisional blended brunette while keeping some depth to the base.

Because Cara’s hair was so dark to begin with and had no dimension we decided that the hair needed a few more pops of lightness in specific places. Often to achieve these soft dimensional brunettes we have to use an effect called highlight layering to achieve many different layers of dimension. The process may take more time but the results are breath taking and magazine ready! David chose to use foils to really target specific pieces of hair and allow the product to create much more brightness in the hair. No need to overdo it! He used a minimal amount of foils realizing sometimes less is more when it comes to achieve this modern look! Take a look at the process below!

David then used his knowledge in French hair cutting methods to correct some bulky areas within Cara’s haircut that were making it difficult to style! Afterword her hair was finished off with a volume mousse from Wella and set with a large barrel curling iron for a romantic loose curl! The hair makeover was a total transformation!

Cara loved it and said that she found her new colour specialist in her new hometown! She left taking advantage of our HALF OFF WELLA PRODUCT SPECIAL! We are clearing out our old favorite to make way for Wella’s new EIMI line coming in October!

Textured hair is HOT for fall 2015! 

The past few years all we have been doing is smoothing, oiling and flattening our hair to be current. Now we are embracing our textured hair. Curly hair is becoming more natural and poofed out to demonstrate our authenticity. We still are not digging the frizz but controlling it by ponytailing with a teezed puff. We are adding hair extensions for instant length to the pony tail.

Fine tuning our parts by lowering it pulling more to the other side. Cool.

Finally we are making some new changes for our structured but unstructured haircut designs. Like the McDonalds saying “I’m lovin’ it”

textured layered bob availabe at Indulge Salon York Pa,

Here is a really awesome model below that gave me inspiration of textured layers with bold makeup by Tigi.

Hairstyle is of medium length with major layers tousled but sexy. As you can see with the Tigi model the makeup is heavier around the eye. Still a bed head type of style but who cares because most women are now used to not shampooing their hair daily and overcoming the oilies with dust to soak up the oil or a dry shampoo spray to absorb and give one more day to the dirty girl look. (just make sure it’s not smelly on a date night) Our version of this newer fall look is a heavier highlight that can be balayaged or foiled (yes, we still have put foils in the hair for those stubborn dark hairs to reach a lighter shade) then we can tone it to the perfect color or with 2 colors that make your skin glow. We have two new shades that are a dusty rose and golden rose. Each of those serve a purpose with cool and warm tones given a sun kissed look. Ask your stylist about the sponge colors.
