Just in time for summer! The silver line adds pigment to the hair that neutralizes and counteracts yellow tones. The ocean silk technology in this line will also leave your hair shiny and strong and the UV protection will protect your hair from the harsh summer rays! Great for blondes or brunettes. The pigment also provides volume & healthy luster to the hair. This is the most highly pigmented shampoo and conditioner we have seen yet. It has been flying off the shelves.

Sound of My Voice

I just saw a film called, “Sound of My Voice”. If it were up to me, I would have titled it, “The Look of Her Hair”, as I could not take my eyes off of Brit Marling’s hair. She was cast as a leader of a cult, and they couldn’t of cast her hair any better for the part. It looked angelic, ethereal, and of excellent cult status. Great movie as well. You can check out the website here. Fox will let you watch the first 12 minutes. Loved it!

London, 1985

I spent a month in London in 1985. Within the first few days of landing, I visited a salon I heard about in a music documentary and had my roots lightened and colored bright red. I was excited to see and learn about a foreign subculture, and having the right hair was part of the experience. When Erin Anderson, co-founder of Woodley and Bunney, asked me to be part of a photo contest that involved creating a look that depicted a period and genre in London, my left eyebrow raised. I became obsessed. I pulled out all of my old photos- I googled images for hours. The intensity was furthered by the photographer: HERNY DILTZ! It has been fun reconnecting with my past. I will be spilling out more details in upcoming posts. I shot this image on my iphone.

What?

Kelly Osborne: my new hero. This amazes me. I know hair can have an impact on your overall look, but this is such a strong example it has me grinning from ear to ear. I kept hearing about how great her hair looked from random sources and I just had to see for myself. I have to thank Tara from yoga class today for giving me the heads up about how stunning this most recent shade of lavender looks. It is not for everyone, but it sure is fun to look at!

This cut and color is the product of the wildly talented Dimitrios, who graced the salon last Sunday to give an advanced class that brought hair stylists together from all over California. His vision and artistry are breathtaking. I think this video of his 2011 collection is super fun. Who is he? Goldwell International Master, Mizu NYC Creative Color Director and two time winner of the International Color Zoom Challenge. But what I love most is that he truly wants everyone to learn how to do great hair and takes the time to connect to his students. It was an honor having him at the salon.

Pastel Hair

Meeting with Erin Anderson was a blast. When I asked her what is new and exciting she shared, “Everyone has pastel hair!” I couldn’t think of a more perfect way to celebrate spring. She had a few other ideas that I will let you in on next posting.
