AN ELEGANT, YET EFFORTLESS STYLE
Wear it left, right, up, down, wet, dry, when you’re in a hurry or taking your time… Wear it if you have short hair or long hair. It matters not. The side part is not only 2014′s statement parting, it’s also its universal one. It goes without saying that if you have hair, you can part it to the side – even the tightest of curls will be receptive to a side part provided the right hair product is used. But as universal as this parting is, 2014′s take on it isn’t about just any side part. It is, instead, about a few standout hairstyles.

The light in your salon is incredibly important!
Have you ever found yourself in a position where you finish a color service…a client steps outside or gets a little natural light and reflection is completely different? In color services…lighting is everything! Depending on the kind of lighting in your salon, be aware of the kinds of tonal reflections they may cause. Ideally natural light bulbs or lots of natural light are ideal so you can produce targeted color results with ease:
Florescent Light
– Cool Light that gives colors cool reflections
Standard Light
– Warm Light that gives colors warm reflections
Sunlight
– The perfect mix between florescent & standard. Allows colors to be seen perfectly.

WHAT IS CERAMIC TOURMALINE TECHNOLOGY ANYWAY??
The terms ceramic and tourmaline get thrown around often when speaking about the tools that we use in the beauty industry every day. But do you know what ceramic tourmaline technology really is? Did you make something up the last time your client asked you about the importance of ceramic and tourmaline in their beauty tools?
Ceramic plates are always preferred when it comes time to purchase a flat iron and here’s why:
Unlike aluminum or even gold plated plates, ceramic glides through the hair without pulling and tugging at it, reducing breakage and damage to the hair. Ceramic also heats up quickly and evenly, requiring less passes of the iron through the hair. Look for irons that have ceramic plates and not just a ceramic coating.
Tourmaline is a crystal boron silicate mineral that aids in the hair smoothing process. Tourmaline emits negative ions that counteract the positive ions present in dry or damaged hair. This results in smooth, shiny hair. The tourmaline even helps to seal moisture into the hair and counteracts frizz. Tourmaline is added to the ceramic plates by first being crushed into a fine powder that is then baked into the plates and other elements of the iron. You can also find tourmaline technology added to brushes, combs, curling irons and more.

A Timeless Men’s Trend from the Great Depression!
By the time the Great Depression hit, the undercut had already been THE go-to look for young men in Great Britain. Here at home, the undercut became the symbol of young working class men, the builders of railroads…skyscrapers…farmers and factory workers. All things being cyclical again, these amazing images from the Great Depression showcase clean lines, classic barbering and an undercut that’s still on trend.

DID YOU KNOW? A person’s genes determine the hair/skin/eye color since before his or her birth.
The determinants for hair color are known as melanocytes. These cells form the natural hair colors, or pigments and distinguish between black, brown, and red. Depending on the percentage of each pigment, the person has blonde, brown, red or black hair. As the melanocytes decay during a lifetime, the hair becomes a dull gray and later on it turns into a whitish color.
