My Pick ~ Cute-ish

This haircut was done by Tyler Johnston who is Ambassador for Schwarzkopf. A cute bob shape with blunt and soft edges combined. Color makes it pop by what looks like slices added throughout the layers. Fairly simple look but quite cute –ish. (I know ~ I’m not fully committing here)

Dekko’s Daily Grind ~ Shelley

Just wanted to show you a quick makeover on Shelley who came in recently to have a change in color as well as a slight change in the style of fringe.

Shelley had never really tried having a fringe before so we gave her quite a heavy one so it could keep the slight wave in her hair weighted down more. We also put a lot more layering into the rest of the hair so the curl would bounce up much more.

Color wise, Jodi took the color from a coppery shade and lifted it up to a beigey blondey shade which is very flattering to the complexion. Great look Shelley all round : )

My Pick ~ Orlando Pita

King of catwalk hair and hair mentor on TV the show ‘Shear Genius”, Orlando Pita is often renowned for his elaborate and Avant garde hairdo’s. But for this Vogue shoot he kept the styles (whether wigs or their own hair) very cutesy short and clean looking.. I chose them as my pick because I find them very fresh looking.

Ken Pave’s Wigs

I must admit I’m always abit skeptical with wigs and pieces for the hair anyway, so when I heard there was a collaboration from Jessica Simpson and her style guru hairdresser – Ken Paves, I really wasn’t too sure. (Sorry, nothing personal) But even I have to admit after I came across a couple of their looks recently, that they looked really good!

With this first look, (Text taken from American Salon Magazine) Ken used what he called a Hairdo Angled Cut Wig in a pale blond color. He darkened the roots with ebony brown eye shadow and then razor cut the wig to create uneven choppy layers with soft edges. He then used a volumizing spray to give it the edgy finish.

Now I really like this second look, I love the feel and idea of the whole romantic braided look.

(Text from American Salon Mag) Ken used 4 black 22’” Hairdo Straight Extensions. He clipped 2 on each side of the head, starting from the front and just above the ears in a V-pattern before teasing and clipping them into place. After adding the remaining extensions on each side of the crown and creating a center part closure, he applied a Hairdo Clip In Bang that he had lifted to platinum before teasing and pinning into place.

Now what do you all think? Would you go and buy some pieces or wigs just to have some fun and create some new looks?

My Pick ~ Miss A

Another member of the Korean band Miss A, These shots of Min were taken from the video ‘Bad Girl, Good Girl’ hence the slight fuzziness. I liked her asymmetric haircut and thought I would add it to my picks because it’s a style that’s simple yet by taking one side of the hair shorter it can add a lot more character to the shape. A shape all clients can relate to…

Optique Collection by Tracey Hughes

Came across these fantastic looks a while back but finally came across the full collection so I wanted to share it with you. Here is a excerpt from American Salon magazine, where it was featured exclusively..

‘French romanticism is the heart of the new Optique collection from Australian artist Tracey Hughes and the Mieka Hairdressing team. Encompassing smooth graphic shapes, disheveled texture, boldly cut fringes, rounded edged and intricate braids, the hairstyles strike the perfect balance between classic and edgy. Ultra feminine fashions combined with chic minimalist eye make up and dramatic dark lips complete the glamorous effect. Optique draws inspiration from an era of expensive and elegant tastes, creating seamlessly flawless images, says Hughes, who is artistic director for Redken Australia and winner of the 2011 Australian Masters and Australian Salon of the Year awards. I chose to shoot in black and white to capture the feel of iconic classic and contemporary feminine looks.’
