Get the Look!

If you liked the hair in our Ombre post, here is how to get it! 

These are the products you will need : Oribe's Superfine Hair Spray, Oribe's Texture Spray, Bumble and Bumble's Brilliantine, and Bumble and Bumble's surf spray. Enjoy!

Step 1.Start with clean, 

air or blow dried hair.

Step 2. Section off 2/3rds of hair with a clip.
(you will take 3 sections total)

Step 3.Use Oribe's superfine hair spray to protect
hair against heat and as a setting spray.
Spray each section before using iron.

Step 4. Hold curling iron vertical
and wrap hair around iron,
without using the claspe to hold hair. (tip: leave ends out)

Step 5. Repeat 4 all over head.

Step 6. Take  second section down,
while seperating  and leaving top section out.

Step 7. Repeat step 4 through section,
pay attention to the way the curls go around the face
if one side is curling in one way,
the other side should curl in the same direction  (both sides should be curling in or away from face *see step 9)

Step 8. Take down last and final section!

Step 9. Personalize the top/front pieces
while leaving the ends out.

Step 10. Personalize the bang area, only curling the last
3rd of the bang to add a little bend.

Step 11. Massage the scalp to provide
volume at the root.
(Tip: spray Oribe's texture spray at root for extra volume)

Step 12. Use Bumble and Bumble's Brilliantine
 and Surf spray, to add more volume
(for lack of a better word) "scrunch" to get a messier, slept in look.

Step 13. Be happy and proud of your work of Art!

Our Rendition of Ombre

Hi everyone! So after a long run of blonde for Liana, she decided she

was ready for a change. As I have been a huge fan of her as a blonde, 

I was very hesistant to do something super drastic. We decided this look

was the perfect compromise for the both of us. She gets her "change" 

and I get to see my gorgeous sister as a blonde for a little bit longer...

After much hard work coloring her hair, we decided to create a mini 

lookbook of her new do'...Hope you enjoy the photos!

fallin for Ombre

For a few months now, I have been scouring my hair magazines and websites all in search of "ombre" haircolor. I have seen it on a variety of celebs for close to a year now, knowing all along that the look would eventually blow up. I haven't had very many requests for it, simply because I'm not sure people know what to call it or where to even start when it comes to explaining it. "Ombre" is a french word that basically means "shaded." Typically it's used in the textile business, describing coloring that goes from dark to light. I think French colorists stole it for lack of a more simple title.

So yes, this is my obsession, sometimes it takes me time to jump on trends, usually out of mere fear. Once I find something that works for me, I stay with it. However, my new hair day dream has been highlighting the perimeter of my hair and making it a bright vibrant goldy copper...okay enough, on to the pics of my MOST FAVORITE ombre stylistas...these ladies just make me drool...

Ms. Whitney Port, she pulls the lightness together by keeping vibrant blonde pieces around her hairline...looove this.

Shenae Grimes, I only know of her for her hair, but after googling her, I realized she's on 90210...ugh, nothing beats the original...awesome hair though!

My girl crush, I don't care how bitchy she's considered to be, this girl is just perfecto. Her look is way more subtle, which I think is a great option for anyone who is afraid of change. Notice Olivia's ends become just a tad bit lighter..

The beautiful Ashlee Simpson...perfect brunette version of Ombre Color!!

Drew Barrymore, always leave it to Drew to get it just right...she, to me , IS America's Sweetheart..perfect in her own way, like the rest of us. ;)

Alexa Chung, so fresh and by far the originator of Ombre color. I adore Alexa, she's so "in her own skin".

Welp, that's it guys. I'm looking forward to more clients wanting to step out of the box and give this look a try. But if you can't, I will. :)
