a big glass of hydration for your hair!

As we move into the month of July, we both are hoping each and everyone of you are having fun in the sun. Summer seems to come and go so quickly, and here we are at the first of July already! As bad as swimming in the pool and basking in the sun can be for your hair, Liana and I are both culprits of it ourselves... no worries we aren't judging you!! That's what summer is all about.

So in the case of fading color and thirsty locks, we would like to offer a Bumble and Bumble mask from their new line "quenching", this mask retails at $36.00 and is AHHHHHHmaazing. The mask is made with creatine conditioning factors that help to promote moisture replenishment and softness in your strands. Some of you may have had the treatment applied after your color service, as it has been on my go-to list as of late. The treatment is to be substituted for your normal (hopefully color protecting) conditioner. It can be left on for as long as you like, however takes about five minutes to get the job done.

As for the contest, all we ask of you is to pick your favorite iconic blonde, out of three pictures we have selected below. These three happen to be a few of our faves, yet there is no right or wrong. Just leave us a comment on who you have selected and why you chose her. Don't forget to include your name and email in the comment so we can be in touch with our lucky winner!!! Next Tuesday, we will hold the drawing and announce who is being sent the ahhhhmaaaazing treatment....okay enough with the ahhhhh business...;);)

Here's to a hotdog/tofudog filled Forth of July, enjoy friends!!

Summer is Here!

It has been awhile friends!! Hopefully everyone is enjoying the beginning of summer and ready to battle the fabulous DC humidity we all adore so dearly. Lots of things are happening right now and we have enjoyed all of our client visits as everybody is transitioning into their summer hair.

We have been collecting hair for the oil booms and actually made a personal trip to the post office to send out our first collection of hair to Florida. MatterofTrust.org has also added a few more videos to their site that are fun to watch. We have watched them over and over and are still amazed something this easy could make such a huge difference. There has been controversy in regards to the topic and whether or not the natural made booms are sinking too quickly. We would like to find the time to do more research on the topic but until then, we're gonna keep on truckin'. We plan to keep our spirits high in hopes that every little fiber of hair makes some sort of difference.

Below are just a few silly photos of our crazy box of hair...who knows, maybe some of it is yours!!!

On a lighter note, in honor of summer, I would like to post a few photos of a incredibly stunning blonde client of mine. Her name is Kristina and she is a fairly new client that I adore. When Kristina first came into the salon she was a hair color virgin! Luckily for the majority of her life, she has remained blonde from the sun. During our consultation, her main issue was that she felt her hair was losing its natural lightness. Kristina's number one priority was to keep her haircolor looking very natural. I always love hearing this because "natural" beautiful haircolor is what I am all about. Here are a few photos of the lovely Kristina, you may be reminded of that classic California blonde by the photos. However, don't be mistaken, Kristina is a born and bred Texan. I swear, that state produces some beautiful women!!!
