tuesday inspiration {diamond dust}

All that glitters.. diamond dust in hair products and in make up Stila has a new set of sparkle for eyes

inspired by this 70's style hair and make up with over the top lashes

 A modern twist on this little pouf of a beehive 

Affordable luxury for your hair with these new products created with a little diamond dust nourishing for color treated hair and intoxicating to the senses. I always remind my clients your hair is an investment. Using the proper color care products will only make your hair color look better longer. 

and one more product I can't help but add any time you can refresh with a clarifying shampoo you give your hair a healthy break from buildup.  

Just for fun this twist below reminds me of the cone I had at Mc D's yesterday.. ever have one of those days? It's tax season I needed a break!

grey swag + {tips}

Sky high hair with my favorite accessory, a darling dog

A reminder that just like a new handbag, a new pair of shades make a girl feel good! My fall pick here

Twists and intertwined knots make this swag of grey look so interesting and beautiful

Hairnets are not a thing of the past, This one is tres chic especially with a scarf, Hermès? You can see more of the editorial here.

When I use to think of grey with a swag the bride of Frankenstein or Cruella de Vil use to come to mind. Not anymore, after seeing this lovely lady, Jacqueline Jabonski. What do you think? Love it or leave it? More grey hair making a model statement here.

Le Bouffant, how to get the look* start on clean, dry, hair I favor color enhancing shampoos like Aveda or Bumble and Bumble to remove any unwanted yellow and make your silver or grey hair shine. Spray with Elnett, or Shaper these are my favorites, Use your rat tail and start back combing toward you. Hair ends should be sticking up with some support from the tease. spray again and smooth just the surface start to smooth and tuck under use bobby pins to keep in place. You can also criss cross pins together for more support, I like to keep them out of site. Use black hair pins for dark hair, gold for blonde, to brown hair.

Discipline does take a lot of time and practice just like yoga .  So many good things in my day to day life that take time and practice, practice, practice. Inspired by this lovely lady's rocking redhead, I recently took one of my blondes this color, she loves it. Had the opportunity to create a new look on some really kinky, hair like this. The trick is conditioned hair and the right products for this curly texture. I used the brazilian blowout masque, which I find leaves my brazilian blowouts so conditioned when followed by the proper after care at at home, more about the brazilian blowout here. Practice and education is essential for staying on top of my game. Have had the pleasure of working and learning with Nick Arrojo and inspired by all of his razor cutting techniques which men and women alike ask for in the salon.  Beside's all the beautiful wedding hair, I find myself so inspired with the billowy, soft, updo's, that can easily be worn for a day to night time look like this. Enhancing a clients new look with make up and a soft summer liner, is like the icing on the cupcakes, speaking of, do these not look divine? A great recipe here. Some much needed obedience classes here have been making my mornings brighter, it's amazing how the essence of what we learn in one area, in this case, discipline, relaxation, obedience, can enhance our lives in other areas. More puppy love here, and some lovely, lash inspiration here.

Love the look of care free wound up hair like this. A very 1960's style sexy, eyeliner, can be very  au courant try using brown instead of black. A pale, pouty, lip makes the look flawless. One of my favorite's Belle de Jour a pale, peachy, pink  from Jemma Kid What's in your make up bag?
