Lived-In Color & Style at Salon Envy


a.k.a. The after-math of ombre. Created by Ramirez and his entire team in Beverly Hills, California that specialize in "lived-in color" - a subtle, enturing way of highlighting your hair that he insists is neither balayage nor ombre. "Lived-in Color" is also known as the 6 month color.

Its about as low maintenance as you can get with hair color, but as cutting edge as hair color can be.. We love this technique and are thrilled about the new opportunity to go to Beverly Hills and take classes from Ramirez-Tran Salon hopefully in the next year.

In the mean time, follow Ramirez on instagram and continue to gawk at his work. We specialize in balayage in at Salon Envy and LOVE to incorporate some of his color techinques into our salon.

2015 Mens Hair Trends
2015 Vintage 1930's 1940's Mens Hairstyles are SUPER HOT right now.
 
 
HIGH and TIGHT with LENGTH on top. A.K.A. The Pompadour. This is perfect for the men that want their cut fashion forward. It is versitile. It looks DEBONAIRE and SHARP for the day in the office or tossed it with a little pomade for the laid back hipster-look. If you got the facial hair, FLAUNT it. No Shave Novemeber is here and these burly manly BEARDS are in high fashion. The bigger the beard, the better.

The ASYMMETRICAL UNDERCUT is parted on one side and combed or pushed over. This cut looks great with a HARD PART, where we actually cut in your part with our trimmers. This is all over the runways for men and looks extremely clean.

 
Long. My personal FAV. Its simple, its classic, it never goes out of style. Long hair takes a certain type of man to wear, a strong hairline is a must. It doesn't matter if your hair is straight or curly, your stylist will give you the right product to make it fit you the best. Wondering how you can grow your hair out? Come in for a consultation and we will walk you through what it takes to grow that manly mane out.
 
The Textured, Faded crew cut. This is a throwback cut that came back around. Adam Levine is rocking this now and its very LOW-MAINTENCE. We know men love that. Its faded up the sides to a short almost "BUZZ" cut look. This look is not for everyone, you have to have a good headshape and strong, facial bone features.

What is the Best Haircut For a Round Face Shape?

What is the Best Haircut for a Round Face Shape?

 
Not sure if you have a round face shape? When you pull ALL of your hair back, its easy to see! If the width of your face is about the same length, then it is ROUND! Also, a sure sign of a round face shape is the inability to see your jaw-line. Our goal is to elongate a round face shape. We want to create length to the face with our haircut, which will give the illusion of a slimmer face.
 
Length. If you can flaunt it, long hair works perfect with a round face shape. When hair is longer around the face, it will slim the sides and lengthen the face. BUT, for those ladies who cannot wear it long, do NOT be shy when cutting it short. The most flattering short haircut for a round face-shape is to show LESS hair, more face :). Do not hide behind your face, instead a sexy, short pixie haircut is the way to go! Leave the hair around the sides of your face on the longer side for a slimming, flirty style.
 
Bangs. Its all about the bangs, bout' the bangs! A side bang or a longer middle part bang flatter a round face shape. A side bang that shows the highest point of the forehead, and cuts off the sides of the face softening those round features. A middle part with a longer bang (below the cheekbones) also will give a narrower illusion and be super flattering.
 
Keep layering to a minimum. "Over-layering" the hair will create volume at the sides of the face which will just make the face shape appear even ROUNDER! Keep the layering below the chin and do not "over-do" your "hair-do". :)
 
Volume. Volume in the right places, i.e. the top of the head, will work magic with a round face shape. The haircut should give you the ease to create volume on the top of your head. (The Crown). This will elongate your round face shape and will give the appearance of an oval face shape.

The sun can reek some serious havoc on our hair. Try a luxurious & customized conditioning treatment next time you're in the salon. For the month of August, Salon Envy is offering the Kérastase In Salon Treatments for 20% off.

 
Kérastase's philosophy for the hair is to:
1. Cleanse
2. Treat  
3. Protect

 
 
Kérastase offers Fusio Dose treatments. Kérastase is the most "health conscious" hair care line that will improve your hair over time, not just temporarily treat the symptoms. 
 
There are two steps in the conditioning treatment process.
First, we diagnose the primary and secondary personalized concerns for your hair.
Second, we massage the customized treatment into the hair. The ultra-concentrated treatments penetrate the active ingredients instantly and last about 4-6 weeks.

Be. Honest. With. Your. Hair.
All of us could use a hair "treat" after this summer sun. :)
 
 


 
****For the severely dry or damaged hair, ask your hair consultant for your at-home FUSIO-DOSE HOMELAB program.

Wob. Hmmmm.. Sounds like mob, but with the letter "W".
