Undercut//Understood

(Pic via tumblr)

There is a this silent but screaming trend right now and in the UK it is an even bigger deal.
I am talking about the undercut.
 You know the one?
Remember in the early 90's when the "bad girls" wore half their head shaved- so when they wore their hair in a ponytail you could see what they had done. They shaved it. Those girls used to scare me. I'm not lying.
Anyways, I am totally obsessed with the undercut these days, but I have to say, I am particular.
After many minutes/hours searching for the perfect example of what I am talking about I found only a few.

Here are a few tricks that I believe are needed to pulling off the perfect undercut and still looking lovely.

-NEVER shave the nape. Throughout my searches, this is really popular, and it even goes as far as carving out designs.(But I will say, I'm not opposed to steps,racing tracks or lightning bolts when done right, with a sense of humor and of course style- all depends on the girl, and done on the side(s) only) No girl can get away with this- it's just not pretty or flattering.
-NEVER bic it. If you want it to look like a terrible mistake or you have an incredible peculiar hairline, Never shave it to the scalp.It just looks bad. 
-Brush your hair.
-Curl or Style your hair.
-Wear some makeup
-Accessorize
-Make sure you can hide it from your grandma
-Always be respectful- no matter what edgy style you have.
-but, Wear it with Confidence and a smile.



*These tips are purely based on my opinion- do what you want, but don't say I never warned you.

Baby Style

Hey! My baby needs to be looking good too!
He loved being pampered.
Thats my boy!
Good ole' fashioned scissor over comb cut.
 I cleaned up around his ears and took a little off the top. Just a little something.
 A baby needs style just as much as the grown-ups.

Feeling Fall?

Most of you may think of sweaters,boots,bonfires,football games and crunchy leaves when you think of fall.
 But not me.

I think of none of those things, really.

All I think about it stocking my cabinet full of warmer,richer colors for all of my clients who are feeling inspired and ready to make their seasonal change to their look.

I LOVE fall because of this.

It is the time when my platinum blondes become butter blondes. When my butter blondes become my chestnut browns, when my chestnut browns become chocolately browns...
and my most favorit-est clients become......RED.

Not only are we ready for bump in the color wheel, but also in length. I envision shorter,stonger haircuts this fall.
Solid lines, heavy fringe and short short short.

Happy (almost) Fall Everyone!
Time for a new look!

*Email me a photo for a cyber consult so I can help you get ready for the next season!
