Newest Trends of Hair and Makeup for the Winter of 2014-2015

Bobs and Lobs: Lucy Hale

Lucy Hale's lob is a perfect fit for her face shape and hits right between her collarbone and shoulders. I love how it is styled with waves that don't try too hard; they keep her looking youthful without overly young—a spot-on style for a 20-something. And those lips? 

Bobs and Lobs: Taylor Schilling

Take note: wavy lobs with the thinner side tucked behind the ear = instant chic. Taylor Schilling's asymmetrical hair balances her one-shouldered dress. We see what you did there.

Bobs and Lobs: Taylor Swift & Karlie Kloss

Every time I see these blonde, statuesque beauties, I do a double take. Both Taylor Swift and Karlie Kloss are keeping their coifs shorter lately.. Swift's style has a gentler wave and some side-bang, whereas Kloss' hair is longer and features a bit more curl.  It works for both of them.

Texture Takeover: Zendaya

This starlet isn't afraid to make a statement with her red-carpet look. I almost didn't notice her tummy-baring outfit.  And that touch of 90s is just enough. I really admire her amazing curls. You Go Girl.

Texture Takeover: Jordin Sparks

In Jordin Sparks' case, I think more is more. The curls, the sombre color,  plunging sequined gown and septum piercing are all statement-making looks.  The dress and hair even have me thinking she was channeling a little bit of Diana Ross

Texture Takeover: Diana Ross

I would expect nothing less from this legendary lady, and she clearly hasn't become any less fierce with time.

Amazing, beautiful and class through and through. 

Fall and winter are wonderful times to break out deep, highly pigmented lip color, and AMAs stars did not disappoint.

 Olivia Munn wore an intense hue that had me thinking of Bordeaux and berries.

Bold Lip: Kylie Jenner

The Jenner-Kardashian clan are nothing if not trendsetters (whether you like them or not). The youngest sister, 17-year-old Kylie Jenner, stunned with red-brown lips and her infamous exaggerated lipline; the color was a nearly perfect match for her plunging dress.

Bold Lip: Lucy Hale

Hale was on her game, from head to toe. Lucy lands a spot in another trending category for her burgundy lips that seem the perfect shade for her black dress.

Nude Lip: Jennifer Lopez

 J.Lo seems to never ever age?  The forever-young Lopez didn't need to do too much with her lip color; between her incredibly-fit dress and artfully smudged eye makeup, a nude lip was just what she needed.

Nude Lip: Kendall Jenner

Another Kardashian-Jenner clan.  Model Kendall Jenner looked effortless in the way that models tend to look with simple, center-parted hair and a light lip.

Nude Lip: Dianna Agron

Nude Lip: Dianna Agron

Another of  trendsetting troupe is actress Dianna Agron. Agron tends to hop between romantic, feminine styles and rocker-glam looks, and this one is definitely the latter. Her smoky eye and disheveled updo complemenst her understated lip perfectly.

Looking forward to the 2014 Holiday season with an added bonus of the movie "Into the Woods"

Claude Thomas's Salon and Med Spa Dermaplaning Treatments has benefits for any type of Skin

Dermaplaning is a safe and non-invasive way

 to help rejuvenate skin.

Dermaplaning is a relatively new form of manual exfoliation meant to be performed primarily on the face. Dermaplaning is an advanced SkinLaze™ procedure for exfoliating the outer layer of your skin (called the epidermis) and removing the fine vellus hair (peach fuzz) on your face.  Also known as leveling the skin or simply blading, the actual treatment is performed by a licensed practitioner and involves the use of a sterile surgical blade, known as a dermatome.  The dermatome is held against taut skin at a 45-degree angle and stroked in a manner similar to shaving.  This method removes the outermost layer of dead skin cells, leaving the skin smooth and supple.

Dermaplaning is also known as surgical scraping as it uses a blade to remove dead skin and peach fuzz that contributes to a lackluster appearance. Dermaplaning is perfect for anyone who has uneven skin texture and tone and is looking for a safe, painless way to smooth their skin and have baby soft soft skin. Benefits of Dermaplaning include:

 1.) helps to refinish top layers

 2.) removes "peach fuzz" which can trap excess dirt and oil

3.) smooths the skins surface

 4.) enhances the effectiveness of other treatments

 5.) helps with product penetration 

Before and Afters

 It is recommended that the procedure be done every 3 to 4 weeks (or once a month), which coincides with a normal skin cycle of approximately 30 days.  Along with sloughing away dead skin cells, dermaplaning can help reduce the visibility of acne scarring and slight wrinkling, as well as do away with extraneous vellous (translucent) hairs on the face.  If desired, the procedure can be followed with a chemical peel, though this could potentially cause the skin to peel due to over-exfoliation.

Is this right for you?

Dermaplaning is ideal for those with uneven skin, acne scarring, and fine lines around their mouth and eyes and removes  and peach fuzz on their face. Dermaplaning can also serve as an adequate treatment for men who suffer from razor burn and bumps caused by shaving.  However, because the procedure is a healthy treatment for the skin on your face, almost all people can benefit from the skin rejuvenation that dermaplaning promotes, no matter what skin color and skin type for any  male or female

.

Benefits

There are several benefits to blading that may make it the ideal method of skin exfoliation for you.  First of all, no chemicals are involved, which means less irritation for your newly sensitive skin.  Secondly, a session will generally last no more than 30 minutes and won’t leave you with a red, swollen complexion afterwards.  In fact, results can be noticed immediately.  Furthermore, because the blade being used is small, dermaplaning can target specific problem areas more easily and skillfully than other procedures that use larger instruments and focus on the face as a whole.  To top that off, dermaplaning generally costs around $100 per session, which is relatively cheap compared to similar procedures such as TCA peels ($800) and dermabrasion ($1,500 to $2,000). 

Get immediate results for minimal cost and no down time.

This treatment can be added to your skin rejuvenation regime of Microdermabrasion, glycolic peels, Meta therapy and beneficial facial treatments to intensify your results

The "It" Cut for Fall/Winter

The "IT cut for this Fall and Winter

Movement, a full crown and a glamorously side-swept front: It's the '60s bob, and it's the "it" cut for fall/winter 2014.

click image to zoom

The look of this fashion was inspired by the shape over shape concept seen in fashion as well as the mixed medium of prints and sheers overlapping in one look and the unmistakable '60s vibe, so this hair cut  incorporates all these elements into a cut that is on trend, wearable and salon-friendly.

Weight and airy volume combine to make the "IT"  bob really stand out. It's not a replica of a 1960s bob; it's an updated version that has movement, is easy to style and looks fresh a couple days after shampoo because rounded layers are easily texturized.

TIPS FOR THE CUT

-Blowdry with Pureology Root Lift before cutting to better determine length and blending.

-Over direct layers up and over to the opposite side of the head and cut bluntly to create a rounded type of layer that encourages volume. Bottom layers will be shorter than the top.

-Layer first and create the perimeter second.

-Using zigzag sections below the part creates shorter pieces to compliment the long layers that fall over them for gracefully blended volume.

Can You Wear This Hot Hair Trend?? YES!! What You Need To Know To Rock these Hair Colors

What's the hottest hair trend right now? It's candy-colored vibrant hair! 

This style has a way of transforming any outfit into a fashion statement. 

It's a bold, stylish way to showcase your individuality and have  everyone doing a double take.  HHere is a  guide to rocking this cool hair trend the right way!

HOW TO CHOOSE YOUR COLOR

• Pick a color you like and can wear easily. Stick to a "neutral" pastel color such as pink, peach, blue, violet, mint, etc. It will be easier to match your clothes and accessories with a softer color.

• Stick to one shade of color. If you want to get creative and dye your hair two different colors, be sure the colors blend well together -- such as blue and purple or blue and pink. Don't go for more than two colors at first.

• Make sure the color complements your skin tone. "Your skin tone is the basis to your hair so you want to make sure they complement one another," says Madame Claude. Does your skin have warm, more yellowish tone or does it have a cool, more pinkish tone? The more contrast between your hair color and skin tone, the more dramatic your look will appear. If you choose a hair color that is similar to your eye color or complements it, the combination will give a more natural look. It all depends on the look you are going for, not everyone wants the natural look.

• Consider different ways to highlight the hair. Think about whether you want to dye your hair one solid color or highlight it. Ombre gives a more natural blended look which starts with a darker color at the root of the hair to a lighter finish at the end using the same color tone.

• Make your  consultation with our stylist colorists. Choosing a hair color can be difficult and terrifying at the same time. If you're permanently dyeing your hair, you want to make sure you speak to our stylists about the color as well as the safest way to do it.

HOW TO MAINTAIN YOUR COLOR

To get candy-colored hair, you most likely have to bleach or use high lift tints on your hair. Bleaching your hair eliminatessome of your natural oils. Here are Madame Claude's tips on how to maintain and/or restore your hair's health after any high lift coloring

• The colder the better. It is better to wash your hair with cooler water.

• Use sulfate and parabin - free shampoos.

* Use the recommended  products (shampoos, conditioner, styling products and serums that your stylist recommends

• Use a deep conditioning treatment for your hair every time you wash your hair

• Avoid washing your hair everyday. Try to go some time between washes. If your hair gets dirty easily, use our recommended dry shampoo -- it can be a lifesaver.

• Put vinegar in your hair after dyeing it. Research shows that applying vinegar to freshly dyed hair can help the color hold better.

• Use heating tools properly. Such as hair straighteners and curling irons. Ask your stylist about the proper way to use your iron on your hair

• Use hair serums. Hair serums coat your hair and protect it from the heat caused when styling it. It also prevents everyone's worst nightmare: FRIZZ

HOW TO GET CANDY-COLORED HAIR WITHOUT DYEING IT

If you are not ready or do not want to commit with coloring your hair with high lift you can try some of these alternatives to permanently dyeing your hair

• Hair Chalking. Hair chalking is a quick, simple and an inexpensive alternative to dyeing your hair and it will wash out.

• Color hair extensions. These extensions will add that pop of color to your hair without having to color your own hair.
