Ride the waves this winter

Who said beach waves were only for the Summer time? In fact, we get requests for beach waves all the time at our salon, no matter what season it is. That just explains how the best hairstyles are timeless and a forever favorite.

Some people say they want to create the look by perming their hair, but in our opinion, the curling iron is your best friend for creating the perfect waves. Never got the hang of the curling iron? Come to our salon and ask the experts!

The magical tools hairstylists adore

Hi everyone! This is John from the Plano, Texas salon. Today I’m going to share my little secret to designing your dream hair.  

The blow-drying difference

One of the biggest aspects that make or break your overall look is blow-drying. Not only does it affect your look, it’s also a significant step in prepping your hair. Every one of your hair strands need to be evened out in order to cut with the utmost precision. It’s almost like prepping your skin for the makeup that comes afterwards. It also needs to be tailored to your hair type, hairstyle and how you want to look. Even if you have the same hairstyle, you can get a completely different look with blow-drying.

A hairstylist’s best friend

And with the perfect blow-dry comes the perfect brush. Shoji Works is my favorite Japanese brush brand. They’ve been creating the best brushes since 1925 and hairstylists around the world love them for the quality and intricacy of its products. The bristles, the handle curve, the weight—you can tell that every single part of the brush is made with care and passion. The breadth and variety of their brushes allows us to customize for every one of our customers. I myself use 8 different brushes to tailor to my customers’ hair situation, whether it be the length, coarseness or damage level.

So, there’s a glimpse of the tools that support a hairstylist. We take great pride in our work of hair design and we think it shows in the tools we use.

It’s been an awesome 3 months since we’ve launched our new salon. Interacting with customers in our new home has been such a pleasure and we can’t wait to meet more!

Simple blow-drying trick for a salon-perfect finish

The benefits of blow-drying your hair:

Ever wonder why your hair looks so goddamn good at the hair salon, but not so much after you style it yourself? The secret lies in blow-drying your hair. There’s a clear benefit in blow-drying. When your hair is wet, your hair cuticles are opened up. By drying your hair, those open cuticles close up bringing beautiful shine to your hair. This also promotes the reformation of your hair’s hydrogen bond, creating stronger, healthier hair.

It’s all about the direction:

Next time you blow-dry, pay attention to the direction in which you hold your blow- dryer. Focus on drying your hair from the roots to the ends, in the direction you want your hair to flow. If you want to add volume to your hair, make sure you hold up your roots and blow heat to your roots.

This may seem trivial, but trust us. It makes a world of a difference. Try it out or ask your hair stylist for more advice on how to blow-dry your hair.
