A new week...a new hairstyle.

A new week...a new hairstyle.

As a hairstylist, I'm inspired by the people around me. Every week, I'll be posting different hairstyles of clients, friends, family and co-workers that I have done. I'll tell their stories and all of stories I've heard of the years. You get to meet some very interesting characters doing hair, and I want to share that with anyone that cares to read about it. And while I share my stories...comment with your own!

More award shows, more ponytails...

Some more hair trends that we are continuing to see this award season and this year:

Ponytails are still popping up on the red carpet. Teamed up with some glamorous dresses, these sleek ponytails are definitely an elegant alternative to a stuffy up-do.



Also still lingering around are the long wavy locks. We can not seem to rid ourselves of this style statement...but who would want to??? It is a classic, beautiful way to wear your hair. As much as I have tried to fight against the fad in the past, it is such a gorgeous style. We are still going to be falling into this fad for while longer.







And lastly...on a lot of these gorgeous ladies with flowing wavy locks, we see one more trend. The OMBRE hair color. This color technique has been around for a couple of years now. While we saw many of our bold blondes like Lauren Conrad and Giuliana Rancic,





we are seeing it more and more on our beautiful brunettes.

Hair Trends for this Year

New Year...New Hair trends...

I've been on the look-out for new and fun things to do with styling the hair. And these are my faves...

1. SLEEK PONYTAILS for updo's were HUGE on the red carpet. Very simple, sleek, long ponytails were everywhere.





2. LONGER BOB is the new bob for the season. HUGE. Get over your long hair obsessions and chop away. The longer bob is an ESSENTIAL haircut for the season.



3. WAVY BOB is a gorgeous and easy way to wear the beautiful new 'do. L-O-V-E. Pure and simple.




4. BRAIDS are also still lingering this season. While not seen a lot on the red carpet, it was still present in some of the spring fashion shows. Parting away from the side braids of last year; messier, less noticeable braids are incorporated into styling the hair.





5. HEAVY FRINGE is always my favorite and was popping up alot. From Taylor Swift's best look to Sandra Bullock on the red carpet, bangs are making yet another comeback.



5. FEATHER EXTENSIONS are slowly being seen as novel ways to dress and accessorize your hair. They add a pop of color and a little pop of something different. HOW FUN!!!
