Highlights are a perfect way to add some dimension and something different to you look.
Just a few highlights around your face or just around the crown is an easy way to add a little bang to your single tone color
Now, if you have met me, I have always been a “red head.”  I can never part from it, as much as I say I would like to change my color, I simply just can’t.  I wish my hair was a “natural” crimson red.
To add a little something different, Jackie, Jen and I decided to add a few highlights around my crown.  With that simple solution, I was able to keep my “natural” crimson red and add a little bang to my look!

I am starting to have a new favorite lash style:   NovaMinx by NovaLash.
Without the sanitary issues associated with animal hair, NovaMinx is created to mimic minx fur.  NovaMinx are soft and supple with beautiful, glossy shine.

For those clients with sensitive eyelid skin, the NovaMinx is very light weight, along with other benefits, such as soft/supple texture, high gloss, sanitary, and they maintain curl when wet.

Why Use A Shower Cap

Posted:
Why Use a Shower Cap
Shower caps are a great investment for anyone with curly hair or if you are someone that doesn’t want to wash your hair every time you shower.
The benefits of a shower cap are to protect your locks from the moisture and steam in the shower.  By locking the moisture out you will avoid frizz and the effects of humidity to your hair, in turn your style will last for days.

Perfect hair in crazy weather

Posted:

 I was on vacation in Florida with my family for a few days last week. Our first day there was about  75-80 degrees and rainy. So my daughters and I decided to do what girls do, and we went shopping. That morning I had washed and set my hair with a combination of Ouidad's Climate Control and Tress Effects Gels. I did the Rake and Shake technique , and we were soon on our way. As we walked in and out of the stores for the next few hours, we got caught in wind, misty rain, as well as a bit of pouring rain. Despite the weather, we did have a good time. 
Once we got back to our condo, and I looked in the mirror, I couldn't believe how good my hair still looked!!! There was not a bit of frizz to be seen! After using this product for the past 4 1/2 years, I still am amazed by these types of results!! ( the photos above were taken 1 hour after we got back that day)
So for super humid or rainy days, I recommend the Climate Control gel mixed with Tress Effects. Apply generously, and Rake and Shake. Knowing you may get caught in the rain, I suggest not opening up the curls. They will loosen up on their own with the humidity in the air.

Omega-3 Treatment from Ouidad

Posted:
Omega-3 replenishing hair treatment is for extremely dry and damaged tresses. This treatment is a blend of omega 3,6 &9. This combination of potent omegas will help restore the lipid barrier of the hair strand and fortifies it's protective surface layer.
 The Lipid barrier is made up of hydro (water) and lipids (fats). Together they form an emulsion that coats the hair and skin to keep both hydrated and in optimum condition.  If the hydro-lipid layer is damaged or completely removed, the hair loses a vital source of consistent moisture, the rigid cuticle scales are left exposed to mechanical damage and other insults.  Which leads to porus, rough, absent of gloss or elasticity and vulnerable to breakage.
 That is where Omega-3 Replenishing hair treatment comes to the rescue. A deeply hydrating, washout treatment that re-hydrates the hair shaft, restores and replenishes lost moisture and breathes new life into hair.
•Made with Ouidad's proprietary amino acid cocktail – including Flax Seed Oil, Passion Fruit Seed Oil and Acai Pulp Oil – the formula recreates the protective lipid barrier and re-hydrates the hair shaft, restoring and replenishing lost moisture.
 This product also offers mega hydration and leaves your hair soft and bouncy with superior  shine. Omega-3 should be applied to wet hair liberally, combed through and it can be used with or without heat. When used with heat it intensifies it's benefits. Gently wash out and then apply your daily conditioner. Use up to three times a week for intense repair.

Andrea Kelly's Tutorial of How to Style With The Rake And Shake

Posted:

Stylist How-To Of Rake and Shake Styling:

  • After I had cut Lindsay’s hair using the Ouidad technique of Carving and Slicing®, I taught her how to Rake and Shake her hair to achieve a defined style that would show her curls off and that would last for several days.
  • The first thing I did was treat her hair with the 12 Minute Deep Treatment.  This helped restore the moisture of her hair, control the frizz, and leave her with a shine she had never seen before!
  •  Next I applied about a quarter size of Curl Recovery™ Whipped Curls Daily Conditioner & Styling Primer, starting at the ends and working it through the rest of the hair. This is a great primer for the hair prior to adding gel or styling aid.
  •  I then separated her hair into five sections and applied Climate Control® Heat & Humidity Gel  generously to each section from scalp to ends. This step is essential for the curls to last and be defined. Next, starting at the nape, I took about 1 inch wide sections, “raked” them smooth with my fingers, and “shaked” them. This technique created by Ouidad actually creates a “set” for the hair to dry naturally in very defined sections.
  • At this time I used a diffuser to dry the hair. This also helps set the curls into a stronger curl pattern for longevity of the style.
  • Once Lindsay’s hair was completely dry, I used Clear Control Pomade to open up her curls. I did this by using about the size of a small marble, and rubbing it in between my hands. I took her hair into my hands as if to put it into a ponytail, being somewhat gentle. Then, she bent upside down, and I used my hands to loosen up the gel around the scalp area, and scrunched the rest of the product into her ends. Once she flipped up, her hair looked full and bouncy.
  • I finished it up with some Styling Mist to keep it in place.

How Ouidad came to Chicago

 (Ouidad Deep Treatment, Haircut and Style done by Andrea)

By Andrea K.
 
One of the most frequently asked questions I get asked while behind the chair is "How did you start specializing in Ouidad?". It is one of my favorite stories to tell because working with curly has has truly became my passion!
 
About 9 years ago one of my clients ( and childhood friend) told me about this great product that she started using on her hair called Ouidad. Her sister ordered it from New York, and loved it, so she tried it herself. She told me it was the best thing she ever used on her hair. I was skeptical mostly because I was sold on another product that controlled my hair since I was 13 years old. Being a stylist for many years, I did have the opportunity to sample products all the time, but none worked better than "my Spritz Forte"... Until the day I learned they where discontinuing "my Spritz".  I was panicked! What was I going to do ?! 
 
I got a hold of Play Curly Volumizing foam by Ouidad and gave it a try. That was the moment that changed EVERYTHING for me!! I was on the phone THAT DAY with the Ouidad Salon in New York, not only ordering more product, but getting all the information I needed to become a Ouidad Certified Stylist. The next thing I knew, I was on airplane to New York about 3 weeks later training under Ouidad's wing to become Illinois' first Ouidad Certified stylist! 
 
I can't believe how rewarding this has been! I have truly found my passion and "nitch"  in my field of hair dressing. I have never thought I would have a clientele from multiple states! It is awesome to be able to teach my customers "how" to style their curly hair, embrace it, and love it!
 

Yuko Japanese Thermal Straightening

Posted:


By Jackie V.
 
Yuko is the patented method of Japanese thermal straightening and the leading brand across the U.S. as well as in other countries across the world. With Yuko you can tame your unruly locks and have silky straight hair you have always wanted with low maintenance at home.
 
The procedure:
1. The consultation : Before the actual straightening we will ask to have an in person consultation  with you in order to create the results you have always wanted. This procedure can be done on any length of hair, virgin hair or single processed hair. Keeping the integrity of the hair in mind, we do not recommend getting your hair chemically straightened if it has been highlighted or bleached.
2. Pre-treatment :  On the day of your service we will shampoo and lightly condition your hair with Yuko shampoo and conditioner to prepare the hair for the service.
3. Application : The proper solution for your hair type if applied. During the processing time, the molecules in your hair are being reconstructed.
4. Ironing : After the solution is washed out, the heat from the blow dryer and the Yuko specialized iron lock in the molecules into the newly reconstructed straight form.
5. Neutralized and Style : The neutralizer helps neutralize any unpleasant smell from the chemicals and conditions your new STRAIGHT hair. Your hair is then washed one last time,p and styled to finish.
 
The end result will leave you with silky straight hair that has unbelievable shine. Unlike a keratin treatment, Yuko removes all curl until your natural hair begins to grow out. Most clients will have their new growth touched up every 6 months to once a year to maintain their straight hair.
