Evan Lysacek Aims For The Gold

157202603

Evan Lysacek is part of the US Olympic men’s figure skating team and will be competing soon at the Vancouver Olympics. He is extremely talented on the ice and is one of the tallest skaters to grace the competition. He is 6’2″!!! Yet, he performs fluidly and with great technical difficulty as he sweeps Grand Prix and National Skating Competitions.

Evan tends to shirk the sport norm of donning sequins and glitz to get attention on the ice. “I think I’m bringing an element of style and showing that this is my idea of what a modern man should dress like and look like,” Lysacek explains. “It can still be stylish and it can still have some element of fashion, but [also] be masculine at the same time.”

Evan’s hair is also quite modern and very versatile. He keeps it slightly longer with a heavy fringe area so that he can create multiple looks. It looks good forward and messy or to the side and more coiffed. Want to achieve this look? Ask your stylist for longer round layers with a taped nape. Light texture on the crown and sides gives the look movement and play. Try using Kevin Murphy’s Easy Rider for control and light hold or for more defined looks try Sculpting Putty by Alterna.

Good luck getting the gold medal Evan! We’re rooting for ya!

Lindsey Vonn Goes to the Olympics

57438865

Lindsey Vonn is an alpine skier on the U.S. Ski Team heading into the Olympics 2010. As the most decorated female US alpine skiier of all time, there is a lot of speculation about her chances in the upcoming games. This NY Times article speculates that Lindsey could be on track to bring in five gold medals this year, to which she replied “Five gold medals? Well, it’s possible. But I haven’t won even one Olympic medal yet. I’d like to win the first one and let’s see from there.”

Her love of skiing began very early on in life, she was on skies at the young age of 3! With 31 World Cup wins in four disciplines (Super G, downhill, slalom and super combined) as well as two World Championship gold medals, she has become the most successful female American skier in World Cup history. Did I mention that she’s only 25 years old?

In addition to being the best American female skier ever, Lindsey is also very easy on the eyes. Whether she’s on or off the slopes, Lindsey always manages to look her best, playing up her natural beauty. Achieving those tousled, beachy waves is easy! After washing hair and towel-drying, apply Kevin Murphy Motion Lotion to enhance natural waves. Follow by either air-drying the hair or diffusing it. To create soft waves for naturally straight hair, apply Alterna Caviar Anti Aging Color Hold Mousse to damp hair. Follow by using a medium (2 inch) round brush while blow-drying the hair. To complete the look, use Alterna Caviar Anti Aging Color Hold Working Hair Spray.

The Star Styles Shine at Sundance

sundance-2010-header2

Despite the cold blustery weather, the stars are out, once again for Sundance Film Festival in Utah. Many of them opting for a more natural look to compliment the wool hats, gloves, scarves and layers of clothes they are sporting to keep warm.

Amanda Peet, pregnant and glowing already, looked especially beautiful with natural looking makeup and her hair pulled back. The actress, 37, expecting her second daughter, keeps her look youthful and fresh with a slight shimmer on here cheekbones and temples, and fleshtone eyeshadow.

dakota-fanning-sundance

Dakota Fanning, leaving her long, straight, blonde locks free flowing and parted down the center, looked all grown up for the event. Her choice in natural shades of makeup were also very age appropriate for the teenager. The young starlet who portrays Cherie Curie in the Joan Jett biopic “The Runaways” was at Sundance for the premiere.

Kate Mara, who was at the festival for her film “HappyThankYourMorePlease” looked lovely in Autumn tones. Her copper locks compliment her naturally warmer skin. Her soft look accompanied her casual yet chic appearance at the festival. Beige eyeshadow, peachy cheeks and a soft rose lip make her look like she is wearing almost no makeup at all. She rocked this look the right way.

There you have it! Stars making the daytime, natural look glamorous and proving that you can still look good even when the weather is bad.

More Winter Hair and Skin Tips!

While there are many things to look forward to about winter, from the Holidays and spending time with family to ski trips and snowbound adventures, your skin and hair are definitely not looking forward to this cold season. Here are some tips on how to keep yourself looking great and healthy through the worst of cold snaps.

For dry skin, try switching up your moisturizer to one with an oil base. If your skin needs an extra boost of moisture in the winter, don’t hesitate to use a night time moisturizer, as they are usually oil-based. For dry hands and feet, try applying aquaphor or vaseline and then slipping on some cotton gloves or socks before bedtime. This can be done during the day for your feet as well.

Exfoliate!!! Always exfoliate one or two times a week to get rid of dead skin cells that build up on your skin – giving it a dull appearance. I absolutely love Purify Grapefruit Chamomile Salt Scrub from Trader Joe’s, which is especially great for your feet and elbows, although I use it on my legs and arms as well. For my face I use a cream cleanser which tends to be a little less abrasive, and I always use a washcloth. This will keep your face smooth and exfoliated without over-doing it.
As for your hair, try and save your blow dry an extra day. Wrapping your hair in a silk scarf before you go to sleep will keep your hair smooth and preserve your style one more day. Save your style and give you a few extra snoozes before you have to get up – win-win! Remember, in the winter, the less blow drying and flat ironing the better.
Last but not least try and turn down the water temp a bit on your showers. The hot water depletes your skin and hair of moisture. So switch to warm if you can stand it. Stay warm out there!

Winterblast! What about my hair?

With summer a fading memory and winter dead ahead, your house and car aren’t the only things that need winterizing! Your hair won’t be under a wool cap all winter, so try the following simple steps to keep your do looking fantastic through the snow, sleet and cold:

1. Work with your natural texture. If you’ve got curls, don’t fight them. The weather is sure to win! Careful with that flat iron – too much will only result in dry, dull hair. Try applying a curl activator, along with a shine serum, to damp hair. Next, take small sections and twist. Finish off with a diffuser.

2. Try adding a few drops of an essential oil, like lavender or tea tree, to your daily conditioner 1-2 times a week. This will not only add some extra shine to your hair and help to condition your scalp, but will smell great too.

3. Your diet also has a lot to do with the health of your hair, skin and nails. Drinking plenty of water and eating foods high in Omega 3 will boost the shine and integrity of your hair.

Stay tuned for my next post on how to keep your skin and lips looking and feeling great through the winter as well.

Silver Hair

Winter is the best time to wear bold silver streaks contrasted with cool dark hair. If bold contrast is too much and you are drawn to blonde, check out Agyness’ January Vogue cover pic:

In this Holiday Season

The Holiday Season

  • We wish you…: Emerson Salon, Alex, Matt, Rusty, Lancer, D’Arcy and Marissa hope that Santa dumps lots of good cheer and presents on you tomorrow. Don’t forget the candles and the latkes either for the last days of Hanukkah!
  • Safety: Be safe this holiday season, drive slowly in icy conditions, and don’t drink and drive.
  • Thank You: We appreciate all of our loyal clients and look forward to assisting our newer clients in the future. Hug your loved ones.
  • Remember: Showing those you care about you love them shouldn’t come just once or twice a year. Love can be given at any time! Book online for a family member or friend as a gift and you can prepay their service in person during normal business hours using cash, check or credit. Wouldn’t giving a number of haircuts or a color service be an awesome gift for those who don’t treat themselves enough?

MERRY CHRISTMAS, HAPPY HANUKKAH, HAPPY KWANZA, HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!!!!
