Hair blog

The last few months have been a time to update and re educate! A  two day hands on class in Santa Monica Academy, a hairshow in London, and classes in the salon have brought the knowledge to keep everyone updated and stylish.

The big change this next season will be short! Check out Anne Hathaway and Ginnifer Goodwin's cute cropped coifs! Geometric and structured shapes are also finding their way in! Curls and fuller hair are still following us from last season. Find out what shape and style works best with you and update to stay looking young!

There is a link on my home page to my Pintrest site. This is a great resource to find styles you might like. Have fun and enjoy!

The Salon has a new name!  Avonti Salon!

Avonti comes from Avanti.

Avonti means "forward" as in onward. Perseverance in the face of adversity, the willingness to overcome all obstacles.

It also means enter and welcome. You are welcome here!

First of all let’s call it Fringe! After all, what is a BANG! Some of us look amazing with this bit of fringe in the front, others not so much.  How do you know who you are? Let’s take a look.

As the runways, red carpets and tabloids are showing off some beautiful fringe, it is luring us to want this look. Bangs are a classic look and have been around throughout history. Keeping it current will give you a fresh and modern look.

This season it is a heavy fringe that taps the lashes. This is a high maintenance look that needs to be trimmed once a week to keep the length right.

There are many other choices from side swept to Betty Page fringe. Just how do you choose the right ones to try?

A long face is usually the best with fringe. The face is shortened and an illusion of width can be appealing. A longer fringe with either a blunt or broken edge will work.  A shorter face must be more careful and side sweep or texture out for a wispy feel.  I would recommend a consultation and a look at your face shape, lifestyle and willingness to maintain a fringe to decide.

I have a new treatment that smoothes the cuticle down on the hair and calms frizz. This treatment will last from 2-4 weeks and cost is $40.00  If you take home the leave in Keratin Treatment($36) it can extend the results. Your hair will dry faster and be less difficult to manage. Come in and calm your fluffy, frizzy hair into smooth, sleek and shiny hair. see you soon!
