Benefits of Visiting a Hair Salon

By: Paul Steven

There are a number of positive reasons for visiting a professional hair salon, some of which we will cover within this article, yet, there are still people wary of the whole hair salon experience.

For those that prefer not to visit a high street salon, they can still have stylish looking hair by arranging for a professional stylist to visit in the comfort of their own home.

However, with home visits, you are missing out on one of the best pampering services only a hair salon can offer, while still paying a pretty premium for your hair to be styled or coloured.

With salons you get the benefit of not just one hair professional but a handful, all trained and educated in giving the customer the ultimate best advice and experience possible when considering a new look or hair colour.

Many salons have staff dedicated to just colouring, they understand the specific treatments involved so that a client has less chance of a wrong colour being prepared or in some cases an allergic reaction to the chemicals used.

Salons also offer other beauty treatments, under the one roof, to give their customers the full experience of a makeover, these services may include.. nail treatments, make-up services, tanning treatments to name a few.

Many women see a visit to a hair salon as a treat to themselves, it is a great way to fight off the blues if your feeling down and can revitalise the confidence in ones self.

The salon experience offers more than just a good hair day it can become part of a persons social circle, often visitors to a salon see it as therapeutic and become a prelude to a special occasion happening in their lives.

LATEST “2010″ FALL/WINTER TRENDS

by Dorothy Davis,

The season has changed, and you have added some new accessories to your wardrobe and purchased a new shade of lipstick, but you haven’t updated your hairstyle yet.
If you have hesitated because you love your long hair or are afraid of drastic change, we recommend a few small changes that can create a new, trendy look.
Straight or wavy hair can take on a whole new look by adding BANGS. Your stylist will help you achieve a bang-style that best suits your current hairstyle and face shape. Whether you decide on a full bang, straight bang, side bang or wispy bang, you must be willing to commit to blowdrying and/or using a flatiron to style them.
Bluntly trimmed hair that appears one-length is a super hot look this fall. Growing out your shaggy layers and trimming your length up a few inches will give you the look of longer layers, which will give you an updated look without a major transformation.
Naturally curly hair, worn wild and unruly is very much in fashion this season. Try adding some warm highlights or lowlights underneath the top layers to add definition and funk.
Headbands continue to be all the rage right now and will help keep your curls and long layers away from your face. Try a braided one made from synthetic hair, a couple shades darker or lighter than your base colour.
Change in seasons is definitely the best time for change in hairstyles, so whether you decide on subtle or drastic, we guarantee changing your look will change your attitude…when your hair is HOT, you’re not so cold.

SHOULD I DYE MY HAIR AT HOME TO AVOID THE COST AND TIME SPENT IN A SALON?

PROFESSIONAL IN-SALON HAIR COLOR

Hair salons offer a wide range of different shades in permanent, semi-permanent and temporary hair colors. Professional colors give full grey-coverage, contain higher lifting agents and are fade-resistent.
Your stylist will take many factors into consideration, such as
-how much grey you have
-the condition of your hair, (healthy, dry, damaged, etc)
-what chemicals your hair has been previously treated with
-your hairs porosity
-your natural underlying pigment
-how much lift can be achieved with or without a lightener
-your skin tone
-the amount of regrowth
-whether or not you can commit to the upkeep
If your hair has been previously colored and you have an inch or more of regrowth, or have different levels of damage in certain areas, a professional may have to apply more than one formula in order to achieve an even tone from root to end. Your stylist will also determine the proper timing, levels of lift, and exact amount of heat needed in order to get professional results.
Aside from the pampering and relaxation you experience when you visit a salon for your hair color, there are so many other advantages that you will not find in a do-it-youself hair dye kit.
A salon can offer you an unlimited amount of options, such as
-highlights
-lowlights
-shine additives
-two-tone and multi-tone colours
-natural, subtle results
-bright, vivid reds that don’t fade
-fun, funky colors
-different techniques (slicing, tips, peekaboos, etc.)
-proper placement of foils to compliment your cut and face shape
-shades that will compliment your skin tone
-an overall look that suits your style and personality
DRUG STORE HAIR COLOR
Drug stores colors come in many different shades and vary in quality and price.
If the look you are trying to achieve is a basic, single tone color, and only a couple shades lighter or darker than your natural hair color, you may very well get good results from a boxed color.
If you decide to go this route to save time and money, make sure you wear gloves, protect your clothes and countertop, use old towels and prepare for a quick clean-up. Hair dye of any kind leaves permanent stains on everything…including the kitchen sink!

Does Hair Color Make Your Skin Look Older? – Your Face Will Tell You

Article Source: http://EzineArticles.com/?expert=JoElla_Milan

We are all stuck in a time warp. We were pretty as a youth with our long flowing blond hair. Now that we are older, we have the same or similar hairstyle. Most of us are guilty of this. The problem is, that this blond color now makes us look faded out and older than our years.

The same with dark flowing hair or even dark short hair. When you were young, you were “hot stuff”. Now your hair color makes you look hard, the lines show on your face and you look older.

If you have bright red hair, you might want to soften it up just a little. Bright red hair has always been

your trademark. Now that you are older, you might seem larger than life or look like a cartoon character. Soften it up and have a more natural softer tone.

Photographs do not lie. You thought you looked beautiful that special night. Now in looking at the pictures, you look older than everyone else. Your skin looks nice, but your hair color detracts from your face making you look older.

I see older celebrities changing their hair color often. They too are looking for that color that flatters the skin. If it is too blond, they look older. If it is too dark, they look older. What should we do?

* Go to a professional and ask their opinion.

* Ask your friends what color hair they feel is more flattering on you.

* You might even want to try on wigs. This is an excellent way to see what looks good with your skin.

Have you always dreamed of having a certain hair color. Put on a wig of that shade. You might be surprised. Either you will look wonderful and more vibrant, or you will look older and the color not flattering.

Look at older women you admire, that look young at their age Hair looks good when it is similar to your own skin tone. If you are light blond or have streaked hair, you might find adding a warmer color will look good on you. Add a little honey color. Instead of black, lighten it up just a small amount. A few highlights or lowlights might help soften it up.

Trust me, when you find the right shade, people will tell you how great you look. The color will brighten up your face. Your eyes will come alive. The years will drop off your face almost instantly. Your friends will now tell you how happy they are that you finally changed your hair color. They always hated the color you have been stuck with all these years
