Fun, Fancy and Original. I love these looks on the guys. Simple shapes yet with the addition of color and facial hair, who said guys cant look sharp and original!! Well done to Taylor France from the Taylor Andrews Academy in Utah.
My Pick–More Braiding
I love this look. Of course it wouldn’t have the same effect without color work, which goes to show how important it is to have the cut and color combo perfected in placement, and color choice. Thanks to behind the Chair magazine for showing us this style which was done by Sherri Jessee from Sherri’s Hair Salon, Vancouver.
Grey Silver Hair!
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!

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!
Dekko’s Daily Grind with Susie and her Color Bugs…
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

Downstairs Dip Dye by Emma McCarthy…
Nikki found this funny article in the London Evening Standard that I thought I should share with you…Written by Emma McCarthy.
‘London is no stranger to a dip-dye. Ever since Bleach first opened its doors in east London, Dalston’s natural exhibitionists have been handing over their barnets in exchange for the salon’s full rainbow-hued treatment.
After two-and-a-half years of booming Technicolor trade, we thought we’d seen it all. But it appears that “seen” may be the operative word, because Bleach’s latest endeavour is to take its famous dyes south — and I don’t mean of the river.
Say hello to the Downstairs Dye — yes, Bleach’s famous dip-dye is now available for your nether regions.
“It’s all about matching your downstairs to your upstairs — and is really fun,” says Bleach founder Alex Brownsell. “It’s a more interesting way to accessorise your wax.”
Available at the salon’s newly opened haven for all things body hair, the Beauty and the Bleach grooming rooms will pretty up your private parts in any shade you wish for £40. But of course — for reasons I’m sure I don’t need to explain — the bleaching process has been approached with the utmost sensitivity.
“We’re extremely careful to mix the bleach in a certain way using the correct ingredients so as not to cause any irritation,” explains Chelsea Saunders, a specialist in advanced intimate treatments who was chosen to spearhead the new services. “We also apply a skin protector as a barrier so the bleach doesn’t touch the skin, and application time never exceeds 15 minutes. After bleaching, the colours we use are vegetable dyes, so are much more natural than the regular tints for the hair on your head.” As well as the matching collar and cuffs treatment, Saunders has also created a full menu of creative waxing services alongside eyebrow and eyelash tinting.
Just like its more public predecessor, downstairs dyeing is already proving extremely popular. Ahead of her wedding this year, 27-year-old tattoo artist Holly had her heart-shaped pubic wax dyed blue for a quirky take on her “something new, something blue”, while east London hairstylist Nicole chose a pink-tinted heart just to “make [her] boyfriend laugh”.
“Simple shapes, like hearts, stars and triangles, are the most popular,” says Saunders, “while people seem to prefer hot pink and bold blue dyes. But I’ve also done rainbow dyes. Basically, anything you could have on your head can be done on pubic hair.” Her most outlandish request? “I’ve had clients ask for leopard print — which can be done, as long as there’s sufficient hair.” Wild.’
