Who would’ve thought that having Grey hair would ever be hip? Well good news.. People (or should I say young hip trendy gals) are now asking for different shades of grey or silver, Woo Hoo.
Christophe Gaillet produced these great styles for L’Oreal Professionnel with his Diamonds collection… Enjoy!
There is definitely something about this first shape with the high hair and chunky sides that I absolutely love. I would wear my hair like this in a flash, in fact I think I did for a while in the 80’s. The rest of the work featured is all produced by Rokk Ebony’s Artistic Team and could all very well be fabulous wigs but very well done.

Yay, after working on travel size bottles for over a year and a half, I think I can finally safely say that with the help of Todi in China, I have achieved my goal. It just goes to show you just have to plod on and on. Even when I went through 3 types of leaky bottles I have stayed patient and true and have now finally got my finished bottle sample and guess what? No leakage and works well with a little pump action.
If all goes to plan I will have them to sell on here within a month, Watch out for my news…
One of my favorite Session Stylists.. I love his work and artistry, so another chance for me to show off his brilliant work, this time its for W Magazine.

Sometimes during a work day I am just not organized enough to have my camera ready to take the before pictures before the stylists get stuck into their work and before I know it, the hair is off.
This was one of those cases, This client came in with long hair and the cut was so cute, I grabbed her on her way out and managed to take some pictures of her. So, enjoy these anyway even though there is nothing to compare with.

So hard to find when you need them, so I thought I’d throw together a selection of cute graduated bob shapes just in case you need some one day..
Pictures from website pixie-cropped.tumbler.com who have a great selection of short haircuts.
I have been a long time fan of eyelash perms ever since I went to live in Hong Kong back in the early 90’s. For those of you who have never heard of this treatment, it’s where we (especially those of us with poker straight lashes that hang downwards) lay down for 30-40mins while a rod is used to wrap our lashes around, and permed!
Before perm:
How is it done?
First your lashes are cleaned and dried. Make sure the correct rod is chosen, they come in various sizes depending on lash length and amount of curl wanted. The rod is placed above the lash line, it has a stickiness to it which keeps it in place. Temporary eyelash glue is applied to the rod, then the lashes are flipped around the rod following the curve of the rod. Each hair is individually placed and separated into place using a pointed tool.
Once all the lashes are in place, the perm solution is applied, this is in gel form so it doesn’t run into the eyes. It’s then covered and left on about 8 – 10mins.
The lashes r then rinsed by squeezing water on them, then dried slightly before the neutralizer is applied. Again this is left for 10mins before rinsing again.
The rods are then taken off and the eyes cleaned.
Choice of rods:
The end result (if done well) is a Wide eyed open look that lasts about 3 months and you don’t need to bother with eyelash curlers etc. Just apply mascara and go.
After perm – with and without mascara
Words of warning – I’ve had enough of these to advise against having another perm too soon, this is like perming on top of a perm on hair, it will frizz and hook! I have found at least 3months is a good enough time to leave it.
Don’t have too small a rod as too curly can be too un-natural as it curls back on itself.
Make sure you get a recommendation to a technician, as I once had one that snapped off some of my lashes on one eye. To be honest I have found that because this treatment is done in Asia so much, I have found that the Asian technicians have more experience with this.
Side note – if an area is too curly, a good technician will be able to loosen up that area.
Sometimes a simple bob can look so gorgeous! Just so long as its not giving the illusion of being a mommy bob and worn with the right clothes and styling, it just simple and stunning!
Susie has been a client of mine at Dekko Salon for quite a number of years now and she is just one of those cool chicks that just doesn’t have to try, she just is!
Susie fronts her band ‘The Blah Boutique’, has a respectable high flying job, dresses ultra funky and original and has a lovely personality to top it all off.
Every time she comes in, were always trying out new looks and fringes and whatever she’s in the mood for. Right now Susie’s on ‘Spockerella’ promotion!! She wanted to combine Spock and Barbarella, Ha! So in case you hear Spockerella mentioned out there one day, just remember you heard it here first from Susie.
Aside from being on Spockerella promotion, Susie changes her hair for every show she plays and with it comes her love of Kevin Murphy’s Color Bug. I wrote a post about dip dyed hair and color bug before for people wanting to use it for an ombre effect but as I will show you here, Susie uses it to a new level and get some brilliant looks from it.
Gorgeous looks, even though it may take the whole bug to get it : ) Thanks for the pics Susie x
