Product Spotlight

Its A 10 Miracle Leave in

We'd like to take a moment to spotlight one of our favorite products, It's a 10 Miracle leave-in Conditioner. It's a top seller at Salon on the Ave. I personally use it every time I wash my hair. First thing I do when I get out of the shower is squeeze out the excess water from my hair, towel dry it, then spray about 6 pumps of It's a 10 into my damp hair.  I let it sit there for a bit before brushing out my hair and it really helps to detangle. Then just comb it through your hair and style as usual. 

The 10 Benefits of It's A 10

• Repair dry, damaged hair
• Adds shine
• Detangles
• Control Frizz
• Seals & protects hair color
• Prevents split ends
• Stops hair breakage
• Creates silkiness
• Enhances natural body
• Flat iron spray & thermal protector

Can one product really do all that? Sound too good to be true? I thought so too, until I gave it a try. Now I can't live without it. If it's not your thing to use a whole bunch of different products or spend the money on several products then It's a 10 is perfect for you!

Come and see us at Salon on the Ave. We have It's a 10 for the best price around!

THE PERFECT LOOSE CURL LOOK

THE PERFECT LOOSE CURL LOOK

            

The loose curl hairstyle is still a hot trend! Luckily it is one of the easiest styles to do! As a Hairstylist I'm doing hair all day long, so when it comes to my own hair.... I get a little bit lazy :/ So this is one of my go to hairstyles. From wet head to dried perfection takes me about 15 min. (time will vary depending on how long it takes your hair to dry). So here goes the loose curl tutorial!

prepping hair for curling:

1. Wash hair, Towel-dry and comb hair out.
2. Prepping hair for the style is very important. using the right products are extremely important! (but we will save that for another post ;) the products i use in my hair are It's a 10 leave-in conditioner, heat Seal (to protect against heat damage) and Paul Mitchell the cream (for extra hold).
3. Flip hair over your head and blow dry straight. Hair must be completely dry for this look to work. Blow cold air at the roots to add volume (cold air locks in a style)

curling Process:

For a more relaxed look: Don't hold the iron on your hair as long and avoid curling the tips.  For a more curled look: Leave the iron your hair longer and curl the tips.

Let your hair cool completely

Next make sure you brush through your hair with your fingers or a comb to break up the Perfect Curl Look

Lastly,  Spray with Hair Spray!

7 Colors for fall

Have you been looking into coloring your hair for fall to switch it up from your summer color? Well we have some great ideas here at Salon on the Ave to help you out! The following are colors that are hot hot hot for fall and will make a big difference. 

1.Dimensional Red 

Emma Stone is one of our favorite red-heads! Her hair is one of the hottest looks for fall. This coppery dimensional color actually looks great on most skin tones and will match the leaves around you! Great for warming up your skin tone in the cold weather! 

2.Buttery Blonde

Butter blonde is actually really rich and bright. It's a perfect hair color if you want to stand out, but if you don't already have lighter hair it can be a little more work to keep up, but worth it!! It typically looks better on people with fair skin or just sun-kissed like Kate's above. Don't forget to amp up your makeup with this new color!

3.Toffee Blonde

Toffee blonde is so pretty in the fall. It's a mix of honey blonde with ribbons of a toffee/caramel color through it. This is personally my favorite color for fall. Add on a long layered cut with this look and you will be full of dimension! 

4.Highlights

Changing up your hair for fall can be as simple as adding highlights! We love this chestnut brown hair with highlights. We recommend getting a half or partial weave and leaving the underneath dark. So pretty for fall. Highlights can be harder to keep up with dark hair, but definitely worth it. It changes your hair from blah to bam and gets you noticed! 

5.Vibrant Red

If the natural auburn red isn't quite your style, try out this super pretty vibrant red! You're sure to get noticed rocking a color like this! Again, this can be a littler harder to keep up than just a natural color, but this is absolutely one of the best colors for fall and a great way to stand out! 

6.Ombre/Color Melt

Ombre will be huge this fall! Especially if you have dark hair and want to vamp up your color with out all the upkeep of highlights or an all over color. You never have to worry about your roots with a color like this! It can be edgy or soft, extreme or subtle! We love this look.

7.Espresso Brown

And finally, the last color that is sure to be hot for fall is espresso brown. It's dark, deep and lasts a really long time! Even when this color starts to fade, it fades nicely. If you are looking for a low-maintenance color that will work with so many different skin tones, this is it!!

Alright, there you have it! 7 colors great for fall! Let us know which is your favorite and if you've already tried one of them! Call and make an appointment with us! Can't wait to see you in!

Fall is in the air! Are you loving all the cute boots walking around town? I am! I think it fits every body type and it adds instant style. So now that you've pulled out all the sweaters, jeans, scarfs and boots all that's left is your hair. Come in and freshen up your color or touch up your highlights. Trim your summer split ends or get a new an exciting cut. Maybe try a messy hair style. Whatever you want to do we can help. Salon on the Ave 801.404.5205

Summer Weddings

Summer is here and it's time to make sure EVERYTHING is ready! Groom-check! Dress-check! Etc...all the important stuff is taken care of.
Now make sure your hair looks great. Take care of any regrowth by coming in a couple of weeks before the big day. Highlights and cut start out around 65 for a partial and go up for a full weave.
Do you have questions about bikini or brazilian waxing? Call Mckenze 801.404.5205 at the salon she would be happy to schedule a consultation and answer any questions you might have.

Schedule a practice style before your big day. Bring pictures of what you DO like AND pictures of what you DON"T like.
All cameras will be taking pictures of you and your groom! So don't be shy...be picture ready!

Beauty and the Braid

I love it when trends come back around! Do you remember when your mother would braid your hair before school?  Well in this modern day Braids are all the rage. Lauren Conrad from the Hills always incorporates braids in her hairstyles. (I'm such a fan of her carefree Californis style.) My suggestion? Try some differnet braids in the comfort of your own home. If your roomates or children give you a thumbs up-then your go to go! 

Bangs and Fringe is the new Botox

Bangs can be the new Botox. I can hear you say huh? It's true, it can add youthfulness to your face, it can hide fine lines on your forehead and it can draw attention to your eyes. Ok, before you grab your keys and come into the salon there's information you should look into. First not all bangs are created equal. The kind of bangs I'm talking about are soft side swept bangs. The younger you are the more intense fringe you can have. The older you are the softer the fringe should be. Have your stylist point-cut bangs just below your eyebrow cutting your bangs shoter to longer. Remember to make an appointment to come in and have your fringe cut is only 7.00 and can make you feel like a brand new person.
