Watching You Like a Faux Hawk

To create an effortless Faux Hawk like the one pictured above follow these tips:

1) If adding extra hair use one of our textured pieces including Organic Curl, Coil Curl or Deep Wave. Add to your hair by having your stylist sew in a couple tracks primarily in the middle of your hair.  Or opt to make your own clip in pieces and clip in to add length and volume.

2) Once additional hair is added, smooth out the sides of your hair using a light styling gel and boar bristled brush.

3) Using one hand to hold one side back tightly, use the other hand to bobby pin that section in place. If you find that your bobby pins aren’t doing a good enough job of holding the hair, try criss-crossing them to make an X shape that will hold the hair more securely.

4) Repeat same step on opposite side.

5)To complete the look, fluff out the hair in the middle and spritz it with water if you need to revive your curls.

Winter style and Glamorous Hair

Although the weather has changed quickly into the winter season, don't let it slow your style down. Don't leave the house without your coat, or two, and accessorize your outerwear with bright leather gloves for pops of color, faux fur neck wraps, and knee-high heeled boots. Have your stylist color your Pure Wavy Studio Fishnet for added winter fun and feel your long tresses blow in the brisk air!

Barely There

Still looking for that that perfect nude lip color? 

• Simply dab your lips with the your foundation brush after you've applied make up to your face. You only need a hint of foundation; no need to add any product to your brush for this application. 
• Use a lip liner slightly darker then your complexion. 
• Use a clear or pink tinted gloss making sure to blend properly to make this mix seamless.

Voilà! The perfect customized lip color!

Play around with different liners & glosses to create a number of hues and tones that compliment you. 

Winter Style Guide

The winter months are approaching and we're constantly faced with the dilemma of being warm or being fashionable. Why not be both? There are ways to dress fashionable in the winter while staying warm.

Here are a few options:

1. Uggs- Everyone may not be a fan of the classic Ugg Australia boots but they are one of the warmest boots on the market. The gloves and earmuffs work wonders in the winter as well. If you think the classic boot is more of an eye sore than a fashionable statement then try different style boots from Ugg. They make over the knee leather boots with the same plush material that the classic boots have on the inside.

2.Knee High Socks- The over the knee look is very "in" this season. If your current boots aren't keeping you warm enough then buy a pair of thick knee high or over the knee socks. They come in several different colors and materials. You can change the color and style you rock every day of the week.

3. Leather, studs and buckles- Leather, studs and buckles have been very fashionable lately. We've been wearing leather joggers, skirts and shorts since the summer. Why not transfer some of that sizzling style to your winter wardrobe? Motorcycle boots and combat boots are still in style this season. Most of them are made of leather and are embellished with black, gold or silver studs and buckles. Grab a pair of these and you'll definitely heat up your winter with style

Holiday Style: Neutral Hues

With the holiday season rapidly approaching, what better way to spice up your wardrobe than coordinating neutral tones from cognac to cocoa! Accent your look with a Cabernet colored lipstick and gold accessories! 

Thanksgiving Hair!

Thanksgiving is a time for the gathering of family and friends, hugs, and love.  You’ll probably be in the kitchen with the ladies of the house, slaving over sweet potato pies and green bean casserole. And after the large meal, you have a chance to work off all the calories by shopping on Black Friday . This holiday season, try a “half & half” hair style. Wear your hair half up to keep hair out of your face. This will be essential in the kitchen, and when you need a clear view to that clearance flat screen you’ve been eyeing. Wearing it down in the back will give you the drama you desire.  With the “ half & half ” style, you’ll look glamorous while maintaining a functional style.
