Travel Size Texture – Coming Soon!

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…

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

Eastbound by Dmitry Vinokurov

Excerpt taken from American Salon by Kelley Donahue…

East Bound
’Dmitry Vinokurov’s latest collection for Wella Professionals plays up structured styling and loud bursts of color.
West meets east in Dmitry Vinokurov’s take on Fusion—a 2013 Wella Professionals TrendVision category. The collection, seen exclusively on these pages, blends an Asian experimental spirit with Western high-culture to create fashion-forward looks. “Elements such as origami and Samurai helmets were our inspiration for some of the intricate designs,” says Vinokurov, who worked on the photo shoot with fellow artists Alexey Ladnov and Denis Skakunov. “Japanese prints and sakura blossoms were major influences on our color palette and placement,” Vinokurov adds. ‘

Dekko’s Daily Grind ~ Marisa

We all got a bloomin’ shock when our ex-stylist Marisa, walked in after we hadn’t seen her for over 2 years. Marisa worked with us right from day one in Dekko and after 7years she moved on from us. I know she’s now a brilliant math teacher but jeez, She totally looked like Crystal Gayle! (although I’m sure she’ll kill me if she read this) She hadn’t had her haircut in years and came in to shape herself up again.

So here is Marisa before: (sorry about the bright lights)

And here is Marisa after we cut, chopped, sliced, thinned, hacked, twisted and dried her gorgeous wavy locks, it was fun to attack so much hair and yes Marisa, your still a doll, a very intelligent intellectually brainy math doll!
