Holiday News


"Thank you for making it all possible. Wishing you and your family the most special holiday season."
 Eric & Samantha 
 

  

OFF THE RUNWAY & READY FOR EVERYDAY: When temperatures drop this Fall/Winter, haircolor will stay warm with dark chocolate brunettes,
deep mahogany redheads and golden blondes. “It’s easy to update your look from summer to fall,” explains Eric.
“I warm my clients’ shades up in the Fall/Winter season with brilliant copper-red shades.
 
2011 Trend #1: Brunettes
”For my brunette clients, I plan to keep their base a dark chocolate truffle hue but you’ll see a lot
of thick golden highlights starting from the mid-section of their hair. Let it be fun and flirty in the winter months to spice up your look.
2011 Trend #2: Redheads
Redheads  will lean towards a single process tone, with no highlights just vibrant deep mahogany tones.
For this must-have look of the season, think Julianne Moore. She has the most luscious shade of red .
2011 Trend #3: Blondes
 Blonde will be a California blonde with the base a shade darker to give some dimension to the look.
The blonde locks will be light and golden to compliment your client’s look of the season.
This look is so fun and can be worn from season to season! Think OMBRE, which means graduation of color.
Let your highlights live where they were intended to, on the mid-shaft and ends of your hair-go rooty!











Hair Made Easy:
Short & Straight Hair is neat and professional but slightly edgy.
Long & Straight makes you look younger.
Short & Wavy gives fine hair body when styled messyby a professional.
Long & Wavy doesn't have to be blow dried to make it work and look good.
Short & Curly is sexy, polished and gives your curls shape.
Long & Curly gives your curls a modern twist.




Product Diversion: Every time you reach out and grab one of those so-called professional haircare products
at your local grocery or drug store you are taking a chance.  I go to the grocery store every day.
I like convenience. Whether you realize it or not, if you buy “professional” products at your local grocery, or drug store
is known as diversion. If it says on the bottle that “the manufacturer will guarantee this product only if sold by a
professional salon environment”… and you are not in a professional salon environment…you are buying products that very well may be contaminated or counterfeit.   Why chance it? Trust the professional who you trust to do your hair. You only have one head of hair, no one wants to see that beautiful head of hair ruined. This is why we use product that is new, unique, and not available in the mass market. Once we see a product that we use becomes diverted; we will cease to use it and sell it. We will only support those who do not divert. We will not compromise our integrity nor yours.  Hair Studio Artists currently support Number 4 100% Vegan High Performance Haicare.



The Power of Inonene G and Your Haircolor:
Any artist will tell you that the finest tools are the main ingredient. For a haircolor artist those ingredients are the color line itself, the brushes and the canvas which is the human hair.
At Hair Studio Artists we have spared no expense in bringing you the most up to the moment state of the art color line.
We cannot begin to create without the best. So what makes it the best? First, it has an amazing pallet to choose from. Best of all it has technology on its side.
Hair color is not harmful or unhealthy. It is only as good as its performance ability and the user. User error or lack of education is at the heart of bad color and damaged hair.
InCell technology and Ionene G are the molecular wonders that repair your hair inside and out on all 3 layers while coloring it with the most sophisticated colorants.
Our treatments contain the same Ionene G conditioning molecule. Most salons sell these post color lock treatments for $25-$30+ dollars. We want our clients to experience unbelievable hair so we’re offering them at cost forever as a value add-on, just $10.00. Ask for it by name anytime you receive a color service. say, "I WANT A POWER DOSE"


 

We Think Your Highlights Are Worth More than a baked potato: So many salons use foil, not even professional foil. They use the same food wrap product used to wrap a baked potato. At Hair Studio Artists we believe in a professional tool for a professional job. These thermal wraps hold in heat, and create even highlights every time. Other than a lighter more comfortable experience you’ll never know it wasn’t foil.   Additionally, we are offering a non-ammonia highlighting system that only processes for 15 mins. You have many options when highlighting you hair and we are proud to offer them to you. We offer traditional foil, thermal wrpas, or balayage depending upon the texture and length of your hair as well as your destination color.



AHH MY HAIR IS TOO RED:
Many haircolor clients/guests experience or express how their brown/brunette hair is too red or how their blonde hair is too red. Oddly, this is an all too common scenario that can be avoided with a little education on both the client’s end and the person doing the color.
First, why does this happen?
A: Simply, there is red in brown. You can’t have brown without red. Red, Yellow & Blue make brown but too many times there is too much Red placed or contributed into the brown. By contributed we mean your natural pigment that plays a huge role in the result of your color. People with brown hair have red undertones so for those who are opposed to the red influence need to have their colorist create cooler based colors that will soften the red portion. Remember, Brown is Red Yellow & Blue without it you have green so the amount of red needs to be reduced not gone.
For the sake of fashion, there are many shades of brown and skin tones that welcome warm browns. The darker the natural brown the redder the contribution. The lighter the brown the more coppery or orange the contribution is.
So what about the blondes?
People who attempt to go lighter with color or highlights face unwanted red and copper due to either under lightening their hair or they are simply too dark to get that light.
The darker a person is the harder, harsher and more work the hair must face to become blonde.
Reality check! If you are naturally medium brown or darker you will face the dreaded “Blorange” result. Sadly, Mother Nature didn’t want you to be so light. The ideal people for Blonding are those who are naturally light browns and lighter.
Even people who are light brown or lighter have contributing orange in their hair. That orange goes through stages of yellow/orange and yellow.
Fashion tip: learn to embrace darker shades of blonde, lighter browns and subtle accents of blonde to avoid looking too red.
Again cooler shade selection must take place by your colorist.
Here in FL the abundance of UV rays contributes to both scenarios. People who live here will experience quicker fading, sun exposure and red tones on a greater scale than those living up north or in cooler environments. Frequent color glosses or glazes are needed and the right home maintenance products are required.
Clients need to be educated and prepared for these truths about color.
We have studied these scenarios and case studies so that we can explain and advise what is best, what looks best for you and what is professionally recommended.
