Before and After: Hair Salon by Scott Weston
If you caught my latest Designer Spotlight, you know to expect a masterpiece from architect and interior designer Scott Weston. His residential work is phenomenal but I've also got to give him cred in the commercial department. I was blown away by his design of this Sydney hair salon.
Quick Beauty Tips for Salon Satisfaction
I can't even remember the number of times I've walked into a salon asking for "a voluminous blow dry like Lauren Conrad" and have ended up looking like Sarah Harding! I also have friends who swear they only said they wanted a trim and yet came out with four inches lopped off. Plus I have a distant memory of some blonde highlights that were supposed to be subtle but in actual fact resembled tiger stripes.

Kate Heads to the Salon Before Getting Dressed to the Nines
Kate Hudson made a low-key trip the hair salon yesterday after a busy weekend of honoring heroes and attending award shows. Kate looked relaxed in her casual sportswear after her dress got a lot of attention at the American Music Awards on Sunday. Kate seemed to have a little trouble staying covered by her Versace number —styled by Rachel Zoe— as she and Nicole Kidman introduced their Nine costar Fergie and The Black Eyed Peas.
Hair Care That Will Blow You Away
Blow Styling Salon, located in the trendy meatpacking district in NYC, is a unique and fun one-stop-shop to help get you primped and pretty for a night out on the town. They don't do haircuts; just blow-out's, makeup applications, nails and waxing.
Inside, everything is pink, and the clients are A-Listers who vow never to go above 14th street again or they'll get a nose bleed.
Have You Ever Asked For a Hair Redo?
Have you ever left the salon feeling not-so-fabulous about your cut or color? Maybe the blond was a little too yellow for your liking, or there was an obvious bleed mark in your fringe. Or perhaps it was just that your new cut wasn't cooperating with the texture of your hair, leaving you with a string of bad hair days.
Beauty Byte: Salon Selectives Makes a Comeback
Some of you might remember a brand from the '80s called Salon Selectives. It was one of the first mass-market haircare lines to promise salon style and results at an affordable price. However, after a buyout and brand redesign in 2001, the line suffered and had to be pulled from shelves.
Getting the Brush-off
Here's a super cute video from the OnSugar blog Milo Minousky's Munchkinland.
As I mentioned last week, I really hate being brushed. Of course, Brother Minou just looooooves it.
Take Copious Notes From Your Stylist
You say honey, I say honey, but what color comes out on your hair? People have different interpretations of hair color descriptions, so just as it's smart to take pictures of what you like and don't like, to the salon, it's wise to keep track of your color.
My favorite stylist keeps index cards on all her clients with their colors, conditioning treatments, cuts, etc., which proved very handy when I relocated.
Do You Ever Dry Your Hair With Paper Towels?
Recently, while perusing the Tabatha's Salon Takeover website (have you joined my We Love Tabatha group, by the way?), I came across a tip that I really hadn't heard before, although it seems to be reserved for the more frizz-prone or curly-haired set. Instead of rubbing water out with a towel, simply squeeze the moisture out with paper towels. The theory is that the softer texture of paper towels is less aggressive than than rougher-textured terry cloth towels.
Do You Immediately Restyle Your Hair After Leaving the Salon?
Getting pampered at the salon is one of life's little pleasures, from the massage at the shampoo bowl to the precision cut down to the final blow-dry and style. Recently, a co-worker and I were chatting about our salon visits, particularly the "style" portion of the service.
Both of us agreed that while we might love the results of our actual haircut and/or color, neither one of us are ever really all that excited about the way the look was finished.
