I’m loving the extra daylight at the end of the days since we moved the clocks ahead, but boy is it ever hard to get going in the mornings when it stays dark until after 7:00am!!! I remind myself as the alarm goes off each morning that it gets lighter just a little bit earlier every day, but I still hate to leave my warm, comfy bed before the first signs of light.
Speaking of the first signs of light … I hope you made it in to our Colour Explosion Party this past weekend. And I hope we were able to give your hair some spring highlights or perhaps the new Illumina hair color we’ve just introduced that incorporates 4-5 different shades of light and color for an incredible look that mimics sunshine playing in your hair!!! We did a lot of Illumina color on Saturday and I’m more excited than ever about it!
If you missed out, you can still schedule an appointment for fresh spring color at either of our York salons by calling 846-4424 or 718-4465. Don’t forget all of the other services offered at Indulge to get you ready for spring–facials, chemical peels, manicures, pedicures, and so much more. In the coming weeks I will highlight some of the best we have to offer to have you looking and feeling your best for the first warm days of spring. I can’t wait ….
My assistant is one of the most organized and detail oriented people I know. She actually has a checklist for holiday entertaining that starts 10+ days before the family dinner she is hosting. Now, these family dinners are no small ordeal … 12–15 people, family and friends, some of whom come for the weekend, gather for an extravagant meal at a table set with the family china and silver, stemware (a red, a white, and ice water at each setting), the beautiful centerpiece, and of course the food. She admits that despite her very best efforts to be organized, to be prepared, and to delegate, by the time she sits down to the main event meal—she is exhausted: thankful for the blessings being shared by friends and family and grateful for the love that surrounds them, but exhausted by the time it is all but cleaned up.
Tomorrow is my 22nd Annual Colour Explosion Party. Part of me is exhausted just thinking I’ve been doing this that long! But ya know, the fun and excitement of this day every year carries me through. It’s grown into a bigger and better party every single year, and like with holiday entertaining, we’ve developed some checklists, and I’ve learned to delegate some important tasks to make it easier to enjoy. Shout out to the Indulge Salons awesome staff for all they do every day, but especially for this special day that we set aside for the Colour Explosion Party! I couldn’t do it without you!!
If you have an appointment to join us—I cannot wait to see you and hope you have as much fun as we do each year.
Check back in with us next week as I start a “spring clean” series!
Bayalage is a French term and hair coloring technique that literally paints strands of hair to appear as though it is reflecting light. The area at the curve of your head and toward the ends of your hair are slightly lighter to give a natural look of being in the sun. I like to mix up the width of the different strands being painted—some skinny, some chunky—for an even more natural and less contrived look.
With having an extra hour of daylight now in the evenings, I am more ready for spring to finally be here than ever! And next week I will start sharing some ideas on how to get yourself and your skin “spring clean.” But right now it’s all about hair color as our annual Colour Explosion Party is this Saturday.
One great idea for spring and summer in hair color though is a bit of highlighting around the face. It lightens and brightens your hair, but done in the right shade it also has the effect of brightening your complexion. Whether you are already a blonde, a redhead, or a brunette, you can incorporate a few highlights now for spring and maybe even a few more for a summer look.
Check out some ideas at www.indulgesalon.com or just call us at 717.846.4424 or 717.718.4465 and we will be glad to help you pick colors for your customized spring 2013 look. Remember, the Colour Explosion party is Saturday March 16 and there are very few appointments still available. If you hope to get in, call us now!
il after 7:00am!!! I remind myself as the alarm goes off each morning that it gets lighter just a little bit earlier every day, but I still hate to leave my warm, comfy bed before the first signs of light.
