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 […]

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 […]

Colour Explosion Party: T-10 days! If you are like me, you expect science is for brainy people in white lab coats that think really big thoughts and set out to change the course of the world by proving them. Not so much. I do not think I have ever found more conflicting “scientific” studies and results than I have in researching blondes.  I threw in a great little experiment on […]

I am so excited about the new Illumina hair color that offers subtle, multi-faceted, luxurious lights for your hair. I performed many of these this week in preparation for our newest hair color trends and I must say this is one of the most fun and exciting techniques I’ve learned. This technique is designed to bring out natural looking lights in your hair—as though you have been in the sun. […]

We have received some spectacular new hair color that reminds me of a stained glass window. When I was a little girl I was supposed to sit in the front pew of this little old country church with my grandmother when I spent the weekends with her. I loved being with my grandmother. She was the best with her cookie making, bread baking, gardening, canning and telling me stories all […]

Make your biggest entrance going back to school with these newest versions of highlights such as Ombré highlights that focus on the middle of the hair and gets lighter towards the ends. Celebrities have enjoyed this over the summer season. Another version is the Brazilian Copacabana balayage highlights that we have introduced in the beginning of summer this year for 2012. These are done more in a contrast painted on […]

I couldn’t wait to share this recipe with you. It is scrumptious! A friend of mine shared this with me and I thought I would try it. It has a bit of southwest flair to it and normally I don’t go to far out of my recipe box with this type of food but I did and WOW! I ate almost the whole bowl. It’s good it’s low calorie so […]

It’s been a whirlwind this week training our team at Indulge,  A Colour salon 180 from ordinary in Greensboro, GA. I flew in on Wednesday May 30th to a beautiful sunny day. I was waiting by the big Air Tran suitcase that is in the middle of the drive to pick up passengers feeling a slight breeze on my skin. It felt so good. I was excited to be training […]
